When the moon is waxing, it means it's getting bigger. It goes from a crescent phase to the full moon in 2 weeks. After that it gets smaller again - it wanes. It goes from Full Moon to crescent again in another 2 weeks. So every 4 weeks, or month, the moon completes it's orbit around the Earth. That's how we get the word "month" - from the word "moon"
It is possible to have two full moons during January, but not during February.
The symbol of two moons, one waxing and one waning in a circle, typically represents the concept of balance and the cyclical nature of life. The waxing moon symbolizes growth, while the waning moon represents decline. Together, they suggest the interconnectedness of life's phases and the need for harmony between opposing forces.
The name for the full moon in Hindi is Purnacanda. A new moon is called a Naya camda. A waning crescent is called Dhalate vardhamana. A waxing crescent is called Vardhamana vaiksinga. A waning gibbous is called Dhalate gibasa. A waxing gibbous is called Kubara vaiksinga.
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.

During the waxing phases, the Moon's elongation is primarily to the east. This means that after the New Moon, as it grows toward the Full Moon, it rises later each day and is visible in the evening sky, appearing to move eastward in relation to the stars. Thus, during this time, the illuminated portion of the Moon increases as it moves away from the Sun's position in the sky.
As days go by, more light is illuminated from the moon during the waxing moons.
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. In your case, a wane moon means that it is getting smaller. A waxing moon or crescent means that it is getting bigger.
Different phases of the moon appear at different times depending on when the month starts (and which phases appeared prior), however there are eight recognized phases the moon cycles through within 25 days. They are: New, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent.
