What is the Gibbous Moon? Let's discover its influence (I)

In few words, Gibbous Moon is a phase of the lunar cycle that is still little known and yet allows you to refocus on yourself and your desires. For this reason we will try to explain step by step

The cycle of the Moon, which extends on average over 27 days, is fascinating. From its way of governing our emotions to its ability to give rhythm to our daily lives, and even menstrual cycles: we give it many powers. Studied since the dawn of time, the night star has multiple faces. This is why she is linked to the Triple Goddess - Selene, Hecate and Artemis. Have you ever noticed that the Moon changes shape over time? Sometimes increasing, it becomes full to illuminate the sky, then decreases little by little until it gives the impression of disappearing on New Moon evenings. If you are more interested in its influence, perhaps you know the effects of the Full Moon and those of the New Moon. Two very distinct periods. Two unmissable events. However, the lunation is not only made up of these two phases, it has eight of them, each having a particular effect. Focus on one of the phases that is still little known: the gibbous Moon.

What is the Gibbous Moon? Definition

The Gibbous Moon corresponds to an intermediate phase in the lunation. There are two types: increasing and decreasing. Each of them frames the Full Moon. It's a kind of transition. Two moments to warn us that we are reaching the halfway point of the cycle, two moments that invite us to adapt. One after another, the term gibbeuse designates that which is plump, like the belly of a pregnant woman, like a roll of pleasure which overflows from the pants, or a well-stocked cornucopia.

The waxing gibbous Moon is the phase just before the Full Moon. It occurs between the tenth and fourteenth day of the cycle. When the Moon begins to gain momentum, to shine more and more. During this period, the energies sent to us by the Moon become a little more powerful each day. It’s very simple, the more the circle that is drawn in the sky fills, the more the powers of the Moon increase tenfold. This is the moment when we are almost there, like the moon itself almost round, but not yet completely. Boldness, impatience, and therefore the adaptation skills necessary to mobilize to finally get there. If there are adjustments to be made to carry out the project, the wish, the dream, it’s now.

Conversely, the waning gibbous Moon is the phase that arrives just after the Full Moon. It therefore generally corresponds to the twentieth day of the lunation. This is when the power of the Moon begins to wane. It is the beginning of the waning phase of the Moon, the one which marks the entry into the transition to the New Moon. After the intensity of the Full Moon, a moment when energies are increased tenfold, the gibbous Moon allows us to regain our senses.
