The moon is waxing as it grows after new moon & waning as it shrinks after full moon. I believe the next new moon to be 26th January 2009, so the moon will next be waxing in the couple of weeks from 26th Jan to 9th Feb 2009.

Out of interest a moon that is larger than 50% is called a gibbous moon, so I should describe my picture above as a waxing gibbous moon. You can find out more on the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_phase
