Waxing Moon and Waning Moon in Astrology

Waxing Moon and Waning Moon in Astrology

Moon in Vedic Astrology represents minds, mother, water on earth, liquids in our body, pearls,  milk, dairy business, cattle, rice, silver, speculative ideas etc. Moon takes one month to complete its transit through all 12 zodiac signs and stays in one sign for approximately two and half days. This complete transit is counted as one lunar month in Hindu Calendar. A lunar month in the Hindu calendar has two phases and each phase lasts for 15 days. Each day Moon traverses 12 degrees and in 30 days Moon completes one revolution around Earth. The First 15 days, commencing from Amavasya (the last day of the dark half of a lunar month) to Poornima (Full moon), are called the Tithis of the Shukla Paksha (brighter phase) and the days commencing from Poornima to Amavasya are called Krishna Paksha (darker phase). 

 Moon owns Cancer sign but exalted in Taurus and debilitated in Scorpio. Waxing Moon is considered a benefic and waning Moon a Weak. Waxing Moon means moving towards a full moon. Waning Moon means past full and moving toward a new moon. The moon has no light of its own. It shines only by the reflected light of the Sun. The Sun is the Soul/source of energy. The Sun is the generator of power whereas Moon is conductor of power reflected by the Sun.  The brighter the Moon (waxing Moon), the more of Soul is reflected back. Sun represents individuality whereas Moon shows one's personality. Therefore, bright Moon of Shukla Paksha is benefic, dark Moon of Krishna Paksha is malefic. Person with a waxing moon has more opportunities in life to explore and expand their resources, on the other hand A waning moon is more about dispersion or spreading of knowledge/resources to others. So waxing moon is considered more benefice to the native, the waning moon is more beneficial to others. In nutshell we can say that a waning Moon is less effective than waxing moon but not malefic.
