Waxing Gibbous

The Waxing Gibbous Moon is the phase just before fullness, when the Moon is more than half lit and growing toward complete illumination. It is the phase of refinement, when something nearly grown is examined, adjusted, and perfected before it comes to its peak. The Waxing Gibbous carries the energy of analysis, improvement, and anticipation. As current sky, a Waxing Gibbous Moon is a time to fine-tune, review progress, and prepare for the culmination soon to come. The mood is focused and expectant, with attention on getting the details right. As a birth phase, people born under a Waxing Gibbous Moon tend to be evaluators and perfecters, drawn to improve and understand whatever they take on. They often have a strong sense of purpose and a desire to contribute something well made, though they can be self-critical in the process. The gift of the Waxing Gibbous is the drive toward refinement, and its work is to pursue improvement without losing patience with what is already good.
