When the moon phases are waning are they growing in size?
I like to remember this by saying that “waxing” means that the moon is “filling up with wax”. This is only a way of remembering the naming scheme. Also, if your “energy” is “waning” then you are feeling tired. Thus waning is the decrease of something. In this case, the proportion of the lit vs unlit side of the moon in view is decreasing.
