The Meaning of Moon Phases

Waning Crescent

The waning crescent is the last phase before the new moon. Only a slender arc of light remains visible in the eastern morning sky. This phase represents rest, recovery, and transformation. It is a time of stillness, gathering oneself and preparing for the new cycle.
