The Moon phase today

What this means

Symbolically, the new Moon is for beginnings and intention: a seed planted in the dark, before there is anything to show for it. It is the invitation to set a direction rather than prove one.

The dark of the Moon is for seeding, not showing: a beginning you plant now and do not yet have to prove.

If you could plant one intention today and tell no one, what would it be?
