About Tonight's Phase
Waning Gibbous
The Waning Gibbous follows the Full Moon as the illuminated portion begins to shrink from the left side. The Moon rises later each night, becoming more of a late-night and early-morning companion. This is sometimes called the 'disseminating moon.'
After the peak intensity of the Full Moon, the Waning Gibbous brings a shift toward gratitude and generosity. This is the phase for sharing knowledge, mentoring others, and integrating the lessons of the current cycle. The energy is mature and reflective rather than urgent. It rewards teaching, writing, and community involvement.
