TONIGHT'S MOON

The Moon, 29% lit, in Sagittarius

The Moon is 29% lit, sitting at 28 degrees of Sagittarius. First Quarter arrives in 2 days.

Waxing, so it is already up when the Sun sets and does not go down until late.

In astrology, a waxing crescent in Sagittarius reads as a plan still forming. Write down the one honest next step before sleep.
