It is when the moon is more than half full and getting larger. So it is any stage between half full and full.
The opposite word of full moon is new moon. A new moon occurs when the moon is not visible from Earth, as it is located between the Earth and the Sun with its illuminated side facing away from us.
When the Moon is "waxing", it is increasing in visible size. This is between the new moon to the full moon. When the Moon is "waning" it is decreasing in size, from the full moon to the new moon.
The waxing phase of the moon is the period of time between new moon and full moon, where the size of the illuminated portion of the moon is increasing. The waning phase of the moon is the period of time between full moon and new moon, where the size of the illuminated portion of the moon is decreasing.
