~ W A N I N G G I B B O U S M O O N ~ (From the full moon Sun. 2/5 til the last quarter moon Mon. 2/13) The waning gibbous moon is the week from the full moon until the last quarter moon when we ease up and integrate what has been brought to light with the illumination of the full moon. This is when we "harvest," and it is the time for practicing appreciation and gratitude for what we have and sharing our abundance generously with others. For the two weeks since the new moon, we've been building, taking action, cultivating, growing, and pushing towards fruition. The full moon is not just the climax of this lunar month, but the climax of a larger lunar cycle that began 6 months before - last weekend's Leo full moon was the climax of the larger cycle that began with the Leo new moon back in August. And this past full moon climax was a bit of a doozy, with the big Leo energy being squared by change-bringer and Great Awakener Uranus. It was a "liberation moon." Ultimately good, but at first maybe bringing up some anxiety and upset. And illuminating tons! By the 7th we also had Mercury (the mind) leaving the post-shadow and heading towards its final conjunction with Pluto in Capricorn for a couple of centuries. That's big. And as Mercury rules mind and thinking, probably a lot of realization and insight, coming on the heels of such a big full moon with Uranus involved. We're gaining a lot of clarity now, and that's perfect for the waning gibbous moon phases, because it is all about integration of what has come to light with the full moon. It's a time to ease up. The full moon may have brought a realization, graduation, or full completion, so whatever it was it's time to really appreciate that, enjoy the fruits of your labor, and take stock. Appreciation and generosity for the win as we relax into the waning moon and move towards the time of release the waning crescent moon will bring to prepare us for regeneration with the coming new moon. #waninggibbousmoon #moonphases #mooncycles
