Waning Gibbous

The Waning Gibbous Moon is the first phase after fullness, when the lit face begins to shrink, still more than half illuminated. It is the phase of sharing, sometimes called the disseminating phase, when what was learned or gained at the Full Moon is given back and passed on to others. The Waning Gibbous carries the energy of communication, teaching, and distribution. As current sky, a Waning Gibbous Moon is a time to share results, express what has been understood, and give back from a place of fullness. The mood is outgoing and reflective, turned toward others rather than toward new acquisition. As a birth phase, people born under a Waning Gibbous Moon tend to be communicators and teachers, eager to share their knowledge and experience. They often feel a pull to spread ideas, explain what they have found, and contribute to others' understanding. The gift of the Waning Gibbous is the urge to give back, and its work is to share generously while staying open to learning rather than only instructing.
