dawn. She is the bulging Moon getting ready to be Full, visible soon after
She rises until She sets The Waxing Gibbous Moon is the BUD of the plant,
the pulse of life tightly wrapped,  wanting to expand. Keywords for the
Gibbous Moon are: analyze, prepare and trust. It is the time in a lunar cycle
to process the results of the actions taken during the First Quarter. During
this phase you are gathering information. Give up making judgments, it will
only lead to worry. Your knowledge is incomplete. Laugh, analyze and
filter. LOOK WITHIN.   For those born during the Gibbous Moon phase,
their talents lie in the ability to refine, organize and purify.  They are seekers,
utilizing spiritual tools as guides on their path.
