Gibbous Moon - "Gibbous" is an astronomical term describing a planetary body that's almost fully lit up. And indeed on Gibbous nights, looking at the Moon, you'll find a Moon that's almost full. "Almost" suggests a transitional time; we're close not quite there. The next phase is the Full Moon, bringing culmination, the revelation of what we've been building to in the waxing cycle. But passing through 3 or 4 days of the Gibbous first can test our patience. Keywords for a Gibbous moon phase are: analyze, prepare and trust. It is a tie in a lunar cycle to process results of the actions you took during the First Quarter phase.  What is happening in achieving your goals laid out at the New Moon phase. During this phase you can gather information but don't try making judgments because it will probably lead only to worry. Your knowledge, like the moon, is incomplete. Laugh. Analyze and filer. LOOK WITHIN.

This is Moon Day - the Day of Remembering and Feeling and with all the Airy energies from the Sun and Moon transits, we can certainly find ourselves wafting around in feelings. And now the Gibbous Moon can also give us those feelings.  There are Major magickal energies for spells/rites regarding Attraction and Travel - going to be traveling this coming weekend?  Need to look or feel attractive in the first days of swimsuit days?  Also there are minor magickal energies for household harmony and patience.  Perhaps there are issues that need to sorted out.  Ask for a little advice and help from the Goddess.
