Each month, the Moon enacts its ancient ritual of waxing and waning — a celestial clock that has oriented human life since before written history. On August 1st, 2026, it enters the waning gibbous phase at 93% illumination, still radiant enough to reveal the great dark seas and storied craters that have drawn human eyes skyward for millennia. It is a moment of generous light in gradual retreat, a reminder that even abundance carries within it the quiet mathematics of change.
