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.

The garden rests. Do not plant. Focus on cleanup, composting, mulching, and repairing infrastructure. Reflect on the cycle and plan the next.
