The Waning Gibbous — sometimes called the Disseminating Moon — follows the Full Moon, its light still bright but visibly receding from the left edge, rising later each night. Astronomically the Moon has begun its journey back toward darkness. Spiritually the harvest is in, and this phase governs its distribution: gratitude, sharing and the passing-on of what the cycle taught. It is the storyteller's moon.
The Waning Gibbous carries the warm, generous energy of the table after the feast — abundance acknowledged and shared. Its traditional name, the Disseminating Moon, states its purpose: to scatter the harvest's seeds outward as gifts, lessons and stories. This is the phase for teaching what you learned, thanking who helped, and giving away a portion of whatever came in. Wisdom kept private now curdles; spoken, it multiplies. The phase teaches that a cycle is not complete until its fruits have fed someone beyond yourself.
During the Waning Gibbous, turn intentions outward: who benefits from what you gained, and how will you share it? This phase favours communication — the report, the thank-you, the testimony — over new ventures. Gratitude practised now is not mere politeness but the mechanism that completes abundance. What you circulate returns enlarged in cycles to come.
