The Gibbous Moon phase is the “almost full” phase, and in its last night can often be mistaken for a full moon.

The Gibbous moon phase runs from 10.5 days after the New Moon until the moment of the Full Moon (14 days after New).  It rises in the mid-afternoon and sets around 0300 (”zero-dark-stupid” as we called it in the Army).

Gibbous moon energies are good for workings that involve:

• Patience
• Peace
• Courage

The Gibbous moon hold the promise of the Full, but is not quite there .. although with a few days’ patience the fulfillment always arrives.
