Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It’s important to know that you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others today. Don’t be impatient. Do not insist on getting your own way. Be generous, cooperative and go along to get along (for your sake). This is the best way to have a good day.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It’s easy to fall into disputes and arguments with work colleagues today. Or perhaps these arguments are with people who are dealing with your health or something to do with a pet. Whatever the case, why even go there? Don’t get your belly in a rash.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Parents must be patient with their kids today because this is the kind of day where it’s easy to lose it. Everyone is short tempered and quick to fight. The result of course will be that everyone will be miserable. You don’t want to be miserable. Therefore, stay cool. Be patient.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Family arguments or spats (especially with a female family member) might arise today. But what will this accomplish other than upsetting everyone? You will be aggressive because Mars is in your sign. Therefore, your choice is: Will you be part of the problem or part of the solution?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

With the Sun at the top of your chart, you are high viz. at this time, which means people notice you. You might want to keep this in mind if you feel upset or angry today with someone. Why create a bad impression? Fortunately, Venus promotes warm relations with friends. Go with what works.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Money disputes might arise today, which are difficult to avoid because people are touchy about their money. Meanwhile, you make a great impression on bosses, parents and people in authority at this time so why would you waste this opportunity? Get your facts. Think things through.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You need to have harmony in your surroundings; and you like to get along with others. Although you’re an excellent debater, arguments are not fun. They are unsettling and can ruin your day. Therefore, avoid arguments with authority types today. Be kind to yourself. Go gently.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The best way to keep the peace today is to avoid talking about controversial subjects because today there is no winning. Do your best to be diplomatic when dealing with ex-partners and old friends from your past. Ultimately, you might have to agree to disagree. Accept this.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Even though relations with friends or members of groups are challenging today; nevertheless, your relations with partners and people who are close to you will be warm and supportive. Therefore, avoid the difficult exchanges. Talk to people who care for you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This continues to be a playful time for you! Plus, relations with coworkers are mutually supportive and positive. This means your challenge today is dealing with partners, spouses and close friends. Be aware that arguments might be public. (Be patient to avoid foot-in-mouth-disease.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Relations with family are positive at this time. Home repairs and fun activities with kids are excellent choices for you. Nevertheless, it might be hard to avoid becoming embroiled in work-related arguments and disputes. Say as little as possible so you have no regrets later.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your life is relatively busy now with short trips, errands and appointments. Avoid disputes with your kids. Likewise, avoid lovers’ quarrels. Instead, focus on improving your home and perhaps redecorating to make things look and feel more attractive. Do what’s best for you.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Dule Hill (1975) shares your birthday today. You are compassionate, caring person who has strong ethics and moral values. You are strong willed, efficient and organized. This year is about service to others, especially family, which is why it’s important that you take care of yourself so that you can be of use to others. Time for a makeover?

Moon Alert

After 2:30 AM EDT today, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

A discussion with a partner or close friend will be intense today; however, it might also be one of those discussions that clears the air. Naturally, they’re not easy because it’s hard to keep your shirt on when you want to get something off your chest.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might encounter opposition or resistance from others at work if you try to introduce reforms or better ways of doing something. You have ideas and you believe in them. (You might be just as earnest about an idea to improve your health.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Parents might have heated discussions with their kids today. Remember what your original objective is and stick to your objective. Ask yourself if what you’re doing will help you achieve your objective – or not. This approach can apply to a discussion with a romantic partner as well.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Family discussions might be uncomfortable because someone (possibly you) has definite ideas about how to make improvements at home. They believe in their ideas. Naturally, there will be feelings of frustration if others don’t agree. It was ever thus.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a powerful day for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching, writing or acting because you will be convincing! The fact is — if you believe in your ideas, you will persuade others to agree with you. (This gives you the motive and the means, which is considered suspicious on crime TV shows.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re in a resourceful frame of mind today, which is why you might see new uses or applications for something that you already own. Or you might see a new way of doing something. Respect your ideas because they will save you money and time.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which happens for 2 1/2 days every month; and when this occurs, it always heightens your emotions and feelings about everything. This is why discussions with others might become overheated or a bit zealous. Relax.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Remember that you need more sleep this month because the Sun is opposite your sign. Many of you are also dealing with ex-partners and old friends back in your world, which can be challenging. Today it’s best to work alone or behind the scenes. Stay chill.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be mellow and easy-going when talking to friends or members of groups today because a discussion might get out of hand. You might overreact. (You are an idealist and can be passionate about your beliefs, especially with issues related to pets and animals.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might have a powerful exchange with an authority figure today – a parent, boss, teacher or a member of the police. One of you might have strong opinions and try to coerce others to agree. (It’s easy to find yourself doing this when you are convinced you are right about something.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Discussions about controversial subjects will be intense today. You might want to convince others to your way of seeing things. These issues could relate to travel, legal matters, something to do with medicine or higher education – you name it. (Remember that one attracts more flies with honey than with vinegar.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You want to clarify how shared property, inheritances or something that is jointly owned will be handled. Of course, you want to make sure you have your fair share. Perhaps you need to convince someone of this? Perhaps someone is trying to convince you otherwise? Stay tuned.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor, wrestler Dwayne Johnson (1972) shares your birthday today. You are organized, direct and practical in a down-to-earth way. You believe in working for results. You are perceptive and have an innate understanding about human nature. This is a year of change, which can be exciting. Expect to travel. Stay light on your feet so that you can act quickly.

Aries

Today you might be asked to describe or justify yourself in front of someone of importance. Be it that you are going for a job interview or a promotion you will probably have to explain in detail some of the work you’ve been doing lately.

Be honest and don’t exaggerate your abilities because these things can catch up with you. Try to appear as responsible as you can.

Taurus

Today you will prove to be the hardest working and responsible of all people, you won’t probably stand not getting to work on your own and fixing everything. This probably means that everyone will come flooding to you for advice or for a helping hand.

You will most likely enjoy such attention and at the end of the day this will serve you as a great accomplishment for the beginning of the week.

Gemini

This week begins for you with an occasion to make the most out of some connections you’ve been making lately. Be it that a problem occurs and you remember there is someone who could help you or that you simply get the chance to help someone or put two people in touch.

Maybe you realize you’ve just met someone who would be willing to listen to you presenting your project and even help you with it.

Cancer

You begin this week enthusiastically and in a complete awareness of your abilities and of your personal worth. This will only help you be even more confident and face everything that comes your way with a big grin on your face.

This mood will even help you fight off any negative thoughts and even see yourself in a better light. The results of this new confidence will be later seen.

Leo

Despite yesterday’s romantic influence it seems that this week does not start under the best influences for those natives whom are committed.

There might be minor arguments occurring and these conflicts could turn up a lot worse if the two sides won’t be able to compromise. For others, this sort of argument will only light up the fire again and will help them get even closer.

Virgo

You have the best chances to start this week in a professional mood, fully focused and hard working. Don’t let the atmosphere at work let you down if the people you are working with are not as responsible as you.

Try to take on as many tasks as you can and deal with them at the beginning of the week because later on it will be even harder to manage any subordinates you might be having.

Libra

This beginning of the week will be filled with conclusions and consequences of your previous actions and it will probably show whether the choices you’ve made in the last weeks were the right ones.

You might also have to deal with some sort of paperwork that will keep you running from one place to another the whole day. Make some alliances at work because it is going to be a long week.

Scorpio

You are starting this week all charged up and quite aggressive I could say. You should find other ways to use your energy because there will be no need to act up at the smallest of inconveniences.

For those natives that are starting a new work day is absolutely compulsory to act all diplomatic and avoid any confrontation. Don’t be a drama queen unnecessarily.

Sagittarius

This week starts under a focus on your partner and on those close to you. Those natives who are working will find it hard to focus as their minds will be wondering while those who are on holiday will get a chance to connect with their partners or with people they enjoy spending time with.

They are all under a tendency to be careful and affectionate with their peers.

Capricorn

This beginning of the week you might be faced with some house problems that will need to be tend to and this will get your entire schedule mixed up.

Make up your priorities and act according to them while avoiding worrying unnecessarily. It could be useful that after the situation is over you would think of a back up plan in case such situations ever occur.

Aquarius

There is a great energy around you this Monday so there are little chances that something that means trouble to come. Since there is not a chance to get unbalanced, use this uneventful day to clear off your mind and make plans for the rest of the week because that won’t be such easy as this day.

This is going to be quite a complex month with a lot of energy expenditure from your side.

Pisces

This Monday you will be one of the hardest working people both at home and at work. It seems that you are all charged up and ready to take responsibilities.

This is the best move you could make this week because it will help you be in charge with everything and avoid any unpleasant misunderstandings that might occur at work especially.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon.

All Signs

There are times when we see things clearly and we know what we want to do. This week is not one of them. Instead, we have situations that are confusing. We might hesitate or be indecisive. That’s okay. If you’re not sure what to do – do nothing. Hold your ground. Naturally, there are some bright spots, because there always are, aren’t there? Life is like that. Nevertheless, the Lunar eclipse on Friday, May 5 will be volatile for many. Avoid nasty types. Avoid potential violence or dangerous neighbourhoods. Tread carefully if you’re celebrating Cinco de Mayo. Be patient. Be loving. Be kind. Use your common sense. And remember: the email of the species is more deadly than the mail.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The key to handling this week is not to jump in to anything without looking. Because you are a fast-acting, impulsive person, this will require a little self-discipline on your part. Relations with daily contacts – siblings, relatives and neighbours might be confusing. Assume nothing. Meanwhile, domestic matters and family conversations could get aggressive. On top of that, financial situations are full of surprises (this includes your earnings as well as taxes, debt and shared property). Nevertheless, lucky, moneybags Jupiter is in your sign! Don’t sweat the small stuff. You have divine protection.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You have to tread carefully because at some point this week, the Moon will be opposite your sign, and especially, it will be opposite Uranus in your sign, which could trigger surprises you didn’t expect. Meanwhile, double check financial matters because there might be confusion about money or something that you own. Be very clear, especially when dealing with your possessions. Major – your car. Minor – your dry-cleaning. Deception is possible. (Yikes!) Arguments with daily contacts might also arise. Remember that patience is the antidote to anger. Stay chill. Then you’re Teflon.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

In many ways, you will probably fly through this week relatively unscathed because it just so happens that three planets in your sign are actually “hiding” in your chart, which means you’re very happy to play things low-key and stay behind the scenes. This is probably a good move. When the going gets tough – the tough stay home with Doritos. With Venus in your sign, your impulse will be to be charming and diplomatic. Nevertheless, relations with others, especially authority figures will be confused. You might misread the signs. Others might be mistaken and actually accuse you of something. Disputes about money or possessions might also arise. (Keeps getting better, doesn’t it?) But these are minor things you can handle. The key is to maintain your cool. Don’t feed the problem.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are a sensitive sign. Your feelings are easily hurt. (Yes, they are.) This week, you might feel caught in the crossfire between friends, groups, kids, romantic partners, family members – you name it. The thing to know is that fiery Mars is in your sign, which means you are not going to go gentle into that good night. So this is what you have to ask yourself. If you use this pent-up, aggressive energy to defend yourself or to attack someone else – will this make things better for you? Probably, the best way for things to be better for you is for you to sidestep any nastiness entirely. Buy an ice cream cone. That is good way to absorb your mind and your mouth for at least 11 minutes.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week there will be upsides and downsides. You have the good fortune of having great lighting because the Sun is at the top of your chart, and this makes you look fabulous in the eyes of others even if you don’t do anything special. So you have this advantage. Ideally, one does not want to blow it, right? Meanwhile, you might find yourself at odds with a parent or a family member. This week, a “hidden enemy” or someone behind the scenes might not have your best interests at heart. A friend or a member of a group might confuse you to the point that you don’t know what they expect, or even if they’re still your friend? Nevertheless, travel opportunities are at hand. And no matter what – you know how to accessorize.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Let’s face it, the only thing that should be in hot water is a tea bag. Therefore, be smart and steer clear of controversial subjects because this is where things could go off the rails for you this week. Don’t take the bait. You don’t have to win. You don’t have to convince others to agree with you. Also be aware that smooth-talking bosses (or authority figures) might confuse you or even fool of you. “Fool” me? What does that mean? Generally, it means they’re lying. Issues with a friend or a member of a group might be dicey. One thing is certain, if you can travel or get outta Dodge – you will, because you want a change of scenery. In particular, you will love to learn something new.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be careful about financial agreements and banking matters because surprises and disputes might arise. Therefore, stay on top of things. Do your homework. Know what’s going on because if you snooze — you lose. Meanwhile, you might find yourself feeling pressured by a parent or a pushy boss. (Possibly, you are the one who is being pushy?) Either way, be aware that on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Moon is in your sign, which means you will most likely get your way, because you have a slight advantage over all the other signs. However, you will also most likely be a tad emotional on those days as well. Forewarned is forearmed.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your challenge this week is to keep things sweet and reasonable with partners, spouses and close friends. Especially on Thursday and Friday. When it rains, we use umbrellas. When it’s cold, we have winter coats. It’s always possible to find a way to deal with a challenge; and you are a strong-willed, self-disciplined sign who can meet almost any challenge – and you know it. Double check financial dealings, especially with shared property, banks and insurance issues. If you think something fishy is going on – it is. Steer clear of controversial subjects, especially politics and religion. Work with what you’ve got but don’t push the river. Stay calm and be realistic. You’ve got this.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Delays, mistakes and a few surprises could impact your job, your work and even your health. Incidentally, those of you who own pets, should be extra vigilant this week, especially Thursday and Friday. Be careful to avoid an accident with your pet. Squabbles about shared property and inheritances might briefly bubble to the surface. Whatever this is – you can handle it. You might find relations with a close friend or spouse a bit vague, especially if someone doesn’t admit something. Well, we’ve all been there. It’s important to know if you’re going to crayon on the wall – do it behind the sofa.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Guard against sports accidents this week because there’s a strong possibility for this to happen. This week will also be challenging dealing with your kids; and likewise, it will be a rocky road for romance. When it comes to your kids, be vigilant and know where they are and what they’re doing to avoid accidents or any mishaps that could cause regrets. Be smart and be aware. When it comes to your main squeeze, you might have to agree to disagree. Plus, you don’t have to be right. Don’t take people for granted because you never know how long they will be in your life. Consider that no matter what your differences are – once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Be patient with home and with family this week for your own peace of mind – and theirs. Misunderstandings and outbursts, especially with relatives or parents you haven’t seen for a while could ruin the harmony you want at home. Domestic harmony is important because when things at home are running smoothly, this helps you in every other area of your life. (And vice versa!) Romance might disappoint because someone is deceptive. Don’t back your kids into a corner so that the only way out is to lie. Be patient with coworkers because you still have to work with them next week. These are the considerations on your plate, which you knew anyway because you’re futuristic and 50 years ahead of your time.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is an accident-prone week for you so pay attention to everything you say and do. Be aware. Be mindful. Don’t be hasty. Today I retired my new lovely slippers that kept tripping me up on area carpets. (Splat!) But I didn’t do it willingly. I stalled. I had to go through two (yes, two) near crazy falls before I admitted I was being stupid and reckless. I’m wearing my old slippers again – but I’m no longer tempting an accident waiting to happen. Slow down and think before you speak. Be clear in family discussions, especially if things are confusing. Be patient with kids and romantic partners. This way you will skate through this week with a smile.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you’re hungry to have a meaningful conversation with someone. You want to be taken seriously. Very likely, you will run into old friends from your past, or people you used to relate to in a group situation. You might learn something today.

You will enjoy interacting with friends as well as clubs and organizations today because you feel friendly and sociable. In fact, old friends as well as ex-partners might be back on the scene encouraging you to do the “tourist thing”. A heart-to-heart talk with a female acquaintance is likely.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Aries

Today you might want to be careful where you concentrate your aggression because there might not be the best reactions if you enter some sort of conflict. The best route for your day would be to keep your mouth shut and to try and temper any reactions of repulsion or disagreement you might experience.

If you fail to obey such rules not only there will be some sort of argument but there might also be some undesired repercussions.

Taurus

This Sunday you will probably get a chance to fully relax. Not only you won’t have your mind wondering and worrying but you will also be able to simply enjoy this day.

It seems that your schedule will be quite cleared so there will be few things to put you to thinking. Use this time to recharge your batteries and maybe even make some new plans.

Gemini

This is going to be quite an auspicious Sunday for you as it seems that new and exciting opportunities will be coming to you from a direction in your life that you most needed them to come. However this doesn’t mean that you will be able to see them objectively.

You might even be faced with some feelings of distrust and negativity before you get the chance to properly read into the situation.

Cancer

This Sunday will probably come with a simple event that will help you see life from a new perspective and it will even give you a sense of purpose.

Be it that something nice happens to you or you assist to someone else’s happiness be sure you will view things a lot more positive than usual and this whole optimism will help you start the following week in a better mood.

Leo

This Sunday will bring you some good news in the romantic territory of your life. Be it that you are fully in love and you are celebrating your feelings or that you are single and seem to develop affection for someone, you will probably feel blessed and happy with your feelings.

Be bold and romantic and feel free to do whatever comes in mind for your love life. During the day try to keep your optimism because it will help you a lot.

Virgo

It seems that this Sunday you are entering a financially auspicious period in which you will be able to manage such resources properly and which will probably bring you unexpected opportunities to gain something more than what you already gain.

Be it that someone of authority will give you a bonus or that you change your work place be sure your budget will grow.

Libra

This Sunday will be quite relaxed for those natives who are single or don’t have a family of their own because there will be almost no responsibilities to deal with.

On the other hand, for those natives with families and with children of their own, it will be quite difficult to make the little ones obey them as their authority will be frequently questioned. You will feel like there’s a mission you want to fulfill but you have no support for it.

Scorpio

This Sunday you will probably feel a need to improve your knowledge, maybe watch a documentary or read an interesting article on the internet.

This tendency could also be doubled by an event that might leave you questioning your wisdom and what you have learned by now. If you get the chance to subscribe to a class or a study group don’t hesitate about it.

Sagittarius

Quite a quiet and pleasant Sunday ahead, especially in the afternoon. While the morning might be a little busy for those natives with children and big families to take care of, the afternoon will probably bring all natives an occasion to relax and think of themselves.

If there is any chance of travel don’t act all aloof and try to socialize with people you meet along the way.

Capricorn

This week end will be quite tense in the financial territory as some previous decisions might catch you up and you will probably feel the pressure of having to return some debt.

There might also be some unexpected spending to be done that will leave you quite hopeless. Try not to lose your temper and analyze your budget as many times as it is necessary.

Aquarius

Quite a friendly Sunday for you. Be it that you are consciously searching for the company of your friends or that you seize any opportunity to get with them, you will probably get the chance to spend the afternoon in a pleasant company.

The only word of caution there is to mind your partner’s feelings because they might not be that happy about your decisions.

Pisces

This is going to be an easy Sunday for you as your plans will run smoothly and there is little chance for trouble to occur.

Take advantage of this peaceful day to be observant and analytical of yourself and even think of the things you want to accomplish in the next couple of days. Be attentive to any piece of information you are receiving today.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Social plans might suddenly change today. They might be cancelled or you might get a surprise invitation? Meanwhile, parents should be extra vigilant today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Admittedly, there is increased chaos and confusion at home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Your home routine will change today. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Someone might surprise you by knocking at your door and catching you off guard. Get dressed. Stock the fridge. Be ready for anything.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. This includes physical accidents as well as verbal gaffes. Nothing has to happen if you are mindful and aware. Slow down and take it all in. Know what’s happening around you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today because something unexpected could impact them. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Be smart and protect what you own against loss, theft or damage.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Strong feelings of independence could lead to a clash with an authority figure today. Let’s face it, you’re a natural leader, which can threaten other leaders, especially if they are not as skilled as you. (Often the case.) Be nice to the little people. It’s the classy way to be.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a restless day! Perhaps something is going on behind the scenes or, it could be something that only you know about that creates change in your day and perhaps change in your surroundings. Cope as best you can. Fortunately, with Venus at the top of your chart, others see you as charming and personable.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might meet a real character today. Or possibly, someone you already know might do something that amazes or surprises you. You might also be taken aback by the stance that a group endorses, especially a charitable organization. It might give you second thoughts. (Are these my people?)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Keep your eyes open today because you might be surprised by a parent, friend, partner or someone close to you. It’s the unexpected element that will catch you off guard. Someone might demand more freedom in the relationship. They might throw you a curveball. Be cool.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Travel plans will change today. They will either be delayed, cancelled, rescheduled or you might suddenly have to travel when you didn’t expect to do so. Someone from another culture might also surprise you. Meanwhile, legal decisions or medical matters might catch you off guard.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Make friends with your bank account so that you know what’s happening. I say this because something you don’t expect will impact your assets in some way today. This could be related to an inheritance, your savings, taxes, debt or shared property. Stay in the know.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today a partner or close friend might say or do something you didn’t expect. (This will likely relate to family or a parent.) It might also involve the fact that relatives you haven’t seen for a while are back on the scene. Don’t have a knee-jerk reaction. Get your facts first before you respond. (Be smart.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Do be careful because this is an accident-prone day for you, especially at work. You might also hear unusual news related to your health. Possibly something unexpected will impact a pet; therefore, be vigilant. Don’t be casual today. Think before you speak when talking to others.

April 29, 2023 Moon Goddess Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.
