The Moon tonight
The Moon sits beside the Sun tonight, unseen, and the sky is as dark as it gets. Good for beginnings nobody needs to know about yet.
The Moon in Pisces blurs the edges. Music, water, sleep: anything that doesn’t need a plan.
Next full Moon: 21 Apr, 3:54 am IST. Next new Moon: 7 Apr, 5:26 am IST.
