When the term wane is used for the moon, it relates to the moon's phases. There are eight phases, the new moon, the full moon, 1st quarter, 3rd quarter, waning gibbous, waning crescent, waxing gibbous and waxing crescent.

A lunar month, or 28 days, consists of the following phrases of the moon in order: New moon, waxing gibbous, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning gibbous, and then new moon again. Waning means the visibile portion of the moon is getting smaller, and waxing means the visible portion of the moon is getting larger. The moons phases always happen from right to left.

They are: New, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent.
