The "Waning Moon" refers to the phase of the moon that occurs after the full moon and before the new moon. During this time, the visible portion of the moon decreases, creating a dimming effect in the night sky. The waning moon can be divided into two phases: the waning gibbous and the waning crescent. This lunar phase is often associated with reflection and letting go. Many cultures believe it is a good time for releasing negative energy or habits. The waning moon is also significant in various practices, such as astrology and gardening, where it is thought to influence growth and energy.
