Crescent #atozblogchallenge

C is for Crescent in the 3rd of 26 installments of the A to Z Blog Challenge.

I love the moon and all her phases. But my favorite phase is when she is in her crescent phase. Waning or waxing... although you get a better chance of seeing the waxing moon as it will set after the sun in the evening. The waning crescent, which you may get one last glimpse of in the morning, rises before the sun.

The waning moon is sometimes referred to as the old moon. The next phase is the new moon which is when the moon age starts. The waxing crescent is referred to as a young moon.

If you follow the moon cycles, the days of the waning moon are good for contemplating things that are no longer serving you well, releasing and surrendering, preparing for the darkness. The waxing moon is for new beginnings and ideas. But every night is a marvelous night to love and play under the moon and her many phases.
