The Gibbous Moon - cooperation, improvement, productivity
The Gibbous Moon suggests a period of analysis and refinement, good for continuing to evolve your intentions and ideas. The ultimate goal is the realization of your short and medium term plans, so you must analyze what is and what is not working properly. This is where the Moon continues to move away from the Sun, further increasing the luminosity on its dark side.
It is a decisive phase for the continuity of whatever it is, where you need to abandon what is not working and change what is necessary. You must align your needs to continue nurturing your projects that are in gestation. Half of the Moon was already illuminated, now the Sun slowly throws more light on the lunar surface, increasing the visible area. Likewise, you should shed more light on your plans, seeing more clearly what needs to be redefined to improve the process.
Lua Gibosa inspires: teamwork, cooperation, analysis and improvement of projects, more productivity.
Keywords: vision, preparation, solidarity, efficiency, analysis, improvement, resilience.
Angle between the Sun and the Moon: from 135 to 180 degrees
Phase: Receptive / Intermediate
Gibbous Moon - The Fourth Lunar Phase
The Gibbous Moon is also called the "Hunchback Moon" or "Convex Moon", being a receptive and passive phase of the Moon, which can help in achievements. However, you need to stop for a while to do some useful analysis and reflections. Is everything going in the direction you want it to go? If the answer is yes, great, keep what you're doing. In case things are not 100%, this is the time to make the necessary adjustments. It's okay to change strategies or make small corrections.
This is also a period of increased generosity, where someone may offer to help us - or vice versa. Therefore, teamwork and synergy define well the helping nature of this lunar phase. At the same time you receive help, look around and see who you can help

The New Moon: a cycle of beginnings, discoveries and self-knowledgeThe New Moon marks the conjunction of the Sun and the Moon, ending one lunation cycle and beginning another. It is a period of new beginnings, possibilities, creations, and achievements, making it a great time to make plans or set projects in motion.
The Crescent Moon - persistence, opportunities, intuitionThe second phase of the Moon is the Crescent Moon. It suggests agitation and movement, where desires, plans and projects that you thought up at the New Moon must be put into practice.
The First Quarter Moon - Commitment, Clarity, DedicationThe Quarter Crescent Moon is the third phase of the Moon. This phase is very busy and can bring obstacles as well as personal or professional opportunities.
The Full Moon - Vision, Illumination, RealizationThe Full Moon symbolizes the culmination of the cycle started at the New Moon, meaning that all the objectives you have developed during the previous phases will reach a climax. Whether the outcome will be positive will depend a lot on the work done so far. It is the peak, where the Moon is fully illuminated by the Sun.
The Last Quarter Moon - Realignment, Discernment, CompletionThe Last Quarter Moon is half illuminated. The part that still receives the Sun`s light is gradually diminishing. Like the Moon, you must use your last energies to complete whatever you have accomplished in the cycle.
