Answer:

The waxing crescent phase is the moon's first step toward fullness. ... The waxing crescent moon encourages positivity and faith, so even the most steadfast pessimists may be more likely to leap without a net during this phase. Of course, the moon shouldn't take the blame for completely reckless behavior

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be confusing that the moon's orbital period is 27.3 days while the phases complete a cycle once every 29.5 days. This is due to the earth's rotation around the sun. The moon orbits the earth 13.4 times a year, but only passes between the earth and sun 12.4 times.
