Today, you might feel a sense of excitement in the air, and it\u2019s not just because of the holidays. The current moon phase, the waxing crescent moon, is a particularly inspiring and energizing phase of the lunar cycle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Right now, the moon has 20% illumination from the sun, gaining more light by the day. In other words, the moon will appear fuller and brighter each evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wondering how today\u2019s moon will impact you? Here\u2019s everything you should know about the current moon phase, including its symbolism and astrological impact.<\/p>\n

\"Today's<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Moon Phase: December 24, 2025<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s moon phase<\/a> is the waxing crescent moon in Aquarius<\/a>, an innovative, independent air sign. The moon currently has around 20% illumination from the sun, appearing like a small \u201ccrescent\u201d of light.<\/p>\n

According to Moongiant, \u201cOn December 24, the moon is 4.35 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last new moon. It takes 29.53 days for the moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all eight moon phases.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Is the Waxing Crescent Moon Phase?<\/p>\n

The waxing crescent moon is the second of eight phases of the lunar cycle, occurring just after the new moon. This phase occurs when the sun begins casting more light on the moon\u2019s Earth-facing side.<\/p>\n

According to NASA<\/a>, \u201cThis silver sliver of a moon occurs when the illuminated half of the moon faces mostly away from Earth, with only a tiny portion visible to us from our planet. It grows daily as the moon\u2019s orbit carries the moon\u2019s dayside farther into view. Every day, the moon rises a little bit later.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Aquarius\"<\/p>\n

Waxing Crescent Moon in Aquarius<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s waxing crescent moon is in the air sign of Aquarius, an intellectual and philanthropic sign.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Astroseek<\/a>, during the moon in Aquarius, \u201cYour relationship with your emotions might be more complicated, because Moon in Aquarius has a strong need for emotional freedom. However, when you are in a group of people, it is easier for you to understand your feelings and free yourself from negative emotions such as fear, anger, and jealousy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waxing Crescent Moon Symbolism<\/p>\n

The waxing crescent moon symbolizes a fresh start and hope. This is a great time for self-growth, aligned action, and manifestation. Set intentions and truly follow through on them, as you might be pleasantly surprised by how far they get you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additionally, take note of any new doors opening for you, such as job offers, serendipitous meetings, or travel opportunities. These aren\u2019t coincidences.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During this phase, keep your spirits high and know your worth. You can never dream \u201ctoo big.\u201d Don\u2019t limit yourself, and certainly don\u2019t settle for anything less than you deserve and desire. Your patience will be rewarded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Happy Wednesday\u2014and Merry Christmas Eve!
