TERM OF THE DAY

Waning Moon

This is a term used to describe the moon when it is transitioning from full moon to new moon. It makes up the last half of the lunar calendar and lasts for about 14 days. During this time, the moon will pass through about six of the astrological signs. There is much folklore about what activities to do and not to do during a waning moon.
