Waning Gibbous
The light begins to withdraw. This phase is associated with sharing what was learned — gratitude, teaching, passing something on.
What This Phase Suits
Sharing, teaching, giving back
Where It Sits
Past full and shrinking, still more than half lit. The waning gibbous rises later each night - well after sunset - which is why it is the phase most often seen in the early morning rather than the evening.
This is the beginning of the second half of the cycle, where the moon is closing the angle back toward the sun.
How It Is Read
Traditionally the phase of distribution: something has reached its peak and the reading emphasises sharing the result, teaching it, or passing it on rather than building further.
It is sometimes called the disseminating moon for exactly that reason, which is a more descriptive name than the astronomical one.
