Today's Moon Reading
With the Moon moving through Taurus during a Waning Gibbous phase, traditional astrology associates today's lunar themes with steadiness, comfort, and a preference for the tried-and-true. This is a waning Moon, so in astrology that energy is generally read as settling and winding down right now.
In astrology, lunar themes are traditional and symbolic - not scientific predictions.
Understanding the Waning Gibbous
The Waning Gibbous occurs as illumination decreases after the Full Moon. In traditional astrology, this phase is often associated with gratitude, sharing what's been learned, and beginning to let go.
