There is not a simple answer to that. A waning moon is the stage after a full moon, after which less and less of the moon appears to be lit from night to night. The orbit of the moon does not take an exact month and of course different months have different lengths, so the time in a calendar month that the moon is waning does not occur at the same time each month. A lunar month is roughly, but not exactly 4 weeks. The waning period is about 2 weeks. If we simplify a lunar month to being 4 weeks, then the Moon is waning during the 3rd and 4th week.
