Waning Gibbous Moon 🌖
Copy & Meaning

A waning gibbous moon — the first phase after the full moon, as the illuminated portion begins decreasing from the full circle. Waning moons represent the cycle of decrease after peak, the natural process of release following fullness.

In lunar spiritual practices, the waning phase is associated with letting go, releasing what no longer serves, and the active process of diminishment that prepares for the new moon's renewal. Used for astronomy, moon phase tracking, reflection on cycles past their peak, and the natural philosophy of release and decrease that follows any period of fullness.
