last quarter moon
A moon shown half-lit, with the left side illuminated and the right side dark
Meaning
A moon shown half-lit, with the left side illuminated and the right side dark. It represents the last quarter phase, when the moon appears half full in the sky. In conversation it commonly conveys nighttime, space, or astronomy, and can suggest something half-finished, waning, or a phase nearing its end. It is often paired with other moon phases to show a cycle or the passage of time. Because the half-lit shape is easy to read as simply "half," its exact phase meaning can be ambiguous without context.
