Waxing Gibbous
Work that is close to completion benefits from one final round of correction. Do not expand the scope; inspect the details and fix the single flaw most likely to weaken delivery.
In detail
The Waxing Gibbous phase is defined here by a 135° to 179° separation between the Sun and Moon, after the First Quarter crisis and before the Full Moon culmination. The original direction has gained enough form to be evaluated but is not yet fully revealed, so Rudhyar associates this stage with adjustment, discrimination, and refinement. Unlike the First Quarter, it revises an existing decision rather than making one.
FAQ
- Is the Waxing Gibbous Moon good for starting a new project?
- It is better suited to refining work already in progress than expanding into another project. At the supplied 135° to 179° separation, the cycle has passed the First Quarter decision point and is approaching Full Moon visibility; inspect details and repair the most consequential gap.
- What is the difference between Waxing Gibbous and Full Moon?
- Waxing Gibbous refines what is forming, while the Full Moon reveals what the cycle has produced. The former spans the supplied 135° to 179° range and the latter is exact at 180°; correct visible weaknesses first, then use the Full Moon to assess the result.
