Not much going on other than the moon will be 4 days old, a waxing crescent and will be low in the western sky. It is also at perigee the closest to Earth for the second time this year and should look bigger. You might be able to see Earthshine on the moon since it will be a crescent. That's the sun's light reflecting off Earth showing the full outline of the moon.
With a telescope you should have some great views of craters and mountains at/near the terminator showing shadows which was used to measure heights of cater walls, central peaks and mountains.
And Saturn being so close you should see the rings and maybe the Cassini Division depending on your scope.
Anyhow, hope that helps or gives you ideas and most all, have fun.
