Lunar Guidance
Rest is not laziness — it's preparation. The darkest phase before renewal. Sleep more. Dream. Let your mind wander. The next cycle is already forming in the quiet.
Ritual: Deep Rest
Cancel something. Take a bath. Go to bed early. Read something that has nothing to do with productivity. The waning crescent is permission to stop.

Phase Action: Rest and compost
The garden rests. Do not plant. Focus on cleanup, composting, mulching, and repairing infrastructure. Reflect on the cycle and plan the next.
Avoid: Avoid transplanting — fire signs can stress tender roots.
