waxings
Moon phase progressions
Waxings is the plural of waxing, covering several senses.
A waxing is an application of wax—to floors, cars, or skin for hair removal: She schedules her waxings every month.
In astronomy, a waxing moon is one growing toward full, so waxings can refer to periods of increase: the waxings and wanings of political fortunes.
