**Balsamic Moon phase**
The Moon semisquares the Sun at (an approaching angle of) 45 degrees, creating the Balsamic Moon phase. This phase takes place 3+ days before the New Moon disappears into the glow of dawn, and so signals the beginning of the Dark Moon phase.

As the Moon gets ready to disappear, we are reminded that we are basically alone, no matter how many people sometimes surround us. It is time to plant the seeds for the coming New Moon, which represents possibilities for the future. We completely embody the Past now, yet look forward to a better future, one that we are willing to sacrifice our old, no longer useful ideals and beliefs for. There is an emptiness and a hopefulness about planting our seeds, a cycle has ended and we still have to wait to see the results of our new endeavors.
