Waning Gibbous
The harvest light: share what worked, thank who helped, and start distilling lessons from the peak.
About this tool
The waning gibbous follows the full moon: still more than half lit but shrinking night by night and rising later each evening — it is the bright moon you notice lingering in the morning sky through days sixteen to twenty of the cycle.
Tradition calls this the harvest light: share what worked, thank those who helped and start distilling lessons from the peak. The energy is still generous, but it is descending — a time for giving back rather than reaching out.
Check any date against the sky with the calculator behind this page: it shows the exact phase, the illumination percentage and the lunar age in days, all computed locally in your browser.
Example. The date 21 January 2000 returns a full moon, illumination 100 percent, and a lunar age of 14.7 days.
Limit. Age is a single synodic month of 29.530588853 days counted from the 6 January 2000 18:14 UTC new moon, not a full astronomical ephemeris.
