Where can I find information on the waxing and waining of the moon?

Question

The moon waxes and wains during the month. What does that mean and where can I find astrological information?

Answer 1

did you try google  or go to the Old Farmers Almanac  they usualy info in there about the moon

Answer 2

The Moon's phases have been known since antiquity. The ancient Greeks even had a pretty good idea of how they worked.

"Astrological information" is a contradiction in terms.

Answer 3

On almost any Astronomical website...

Try www.nasa.gov.

As the moon orbits the Earth, we see the moon in differing amounts of the sun's light.  When the moon is farthest from the sun, the side facing Earth is in full sunlight.  When it's closest to the sun, the side we see is in full shadow, and is called "New moon."  In between those two phases, which are about 2 weeks apart, there's the "Waning moon", which means the sunlit side we see is getting smaller day to day, and then there's the "Waxing moon", which means that the sunlit side we see is getting larger day to day.
