This dark period is about discovery. The energy is just starting to build, but its direction is still unknown. While the compass may still be spinning, the dark moon encourages curiosity and mystery to be the guide before direction is revealed.
The Ta**us energy of this moon invites stability in facing the darkness of the unknown, reaching a place of inner steadiness to meet what is to come.
This is a pivotal time to start purging and shifting ideas. Take time to be thoughtful and reflect on your intentions, asking questions of yourself and others. Consider where in your life you would like to invest and steep this energy. Even the smallest of steps builds toward the pursuit and creates healthy habits for the future.
