Welcome to the fourth bonus episode of the Moon Phase Series. Today is all about the Waxing Gibbous Moon. And if you’re listening in real time, the Waxing Gibbous Moon will arrive tomorrow on Wednesday, May 11th. 

If you’re not listening in real time, you can still follow along by beginning this series on the day before the next New Moon. 

In this Waxing Gibbous Moon episode I’ll be sharing the energy and the magic of this phase.

I’ll start with a basic overview of the Waxing Gibbous Moon, which is about 10 to 11 days into the cycle.

Here’s a description of the Waxing Gibbous Moon so that you can picture it in your mind. The Waxing Gibbous Moon is continuing its illumination from the right side, and is getting closer to full, therefore, the majority of the moon is illuminated, with the exception of a dark sliver on the left side.

The Waxing Gibbous Moon is all about refinement. You may need to make a course correction and readjust your approach so that you ensure the work you are doing is in alignment. 

The Waxing phase of the Moon in general is associated with the Spring season.

I’m going to read a list of words and phrases that encompass the energy of the Waxing Gibbous Moon to help you feel into it a bit more… patience, refinement, clarification of ideas, adjustment, honing, taking control, reviewing, commitment, course correction, reevaluation, rejection, second-guessing, delays, take intentions seriously, the finish line, the final push, more research may be needed, and a feeling that something is missing. 

You may notice that you have difficulty sleeping during the Waxing Gibbous Moon. The Moon is almost Full and you are likely beginning the feel the energy, which is intense for many people. 

I speak a lot about putting on your blinders, ignoring everyone, tuning into yourself, and doing the work that you are meant to do in this world. This is the phase where you need to be resolute about protecting your energy so that it can be directed toward your intentions. By enacting strong boundaries and having complete belief in yourself, you’ll be able to harness the Waxing Gibbous energy that will usher your intentions over the finish line.

The second bonus episode in this series on the Waxing Crescent Moon kicked off the Waxing phase, so you can visit that episode for a list of practical and magical activities to make the most of this phase, which includes the Waxing Crescent Moon, First Quarter Moon, and Waxing Gibbous Moon.

I hope you enjoyed today’s bonus episode about the Waxing Gibbous Moon and how to align with her energy to support you as you move through the cycle. 

We’re in the midst of the Waxing phase, where the energy continues to grow. 

Tune in on Sunday for the next episode of the series where we go into more detail about the next phase of the lunar cycle, the Full Moon. 

Thanks for being here, and I love y’all to the moon and back.
