Waxing Crescent

The Waxing Crescent phase occurs when the Moon is 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun, showing the first visible sliver of reflected light. This is a phase of emergence and early struggle, where the intention set at the New Moon must push through inertia and doubt. Born under this phase, a person carries a quality of determined forward movement despite uncertainty. For timing, the Waxing Crescent is about taking the first concrete steps, gathering resources, and committing to the vision that was planted in darkness.
