Waning Crescent: The Moon's Quiet End
The waning crescent phase is the final phase before the new moon, where only a small crescent of the moon is visible, decreasing in light until it vanishes completely. This phase is a time of closure and rest, as the lunar cycle comes to an end, preparing for the next beginning.
It is a time of introspection and quiet reflection as the moon's light fades away, leaving the sky dark once again.
