How to translate? (en-ru)

Есть русская запоминалка для различия новой и старой луны: если месяц похож на букву С - луна Старая, если на Р - Растущая, новая. А какая есть подобная английская запоминалка?

    There's a Russian mnemonic that is supposed to help remember the difference between a new moon and a full moon. If the moon resembles the letter C, it's full, but if it looks like the P, it's new (waxing). Is there a similar English mnemonic?

для Луны английские глаголы это to wane и to wax, из них трудно что-то изобразить. Зато для верблюдов есть D для одногорбых-Дромадеры, и
и В-для двугорбых-Бактрианы

Благодарю! Было моей ошибкой не пояснить , что мой вопрос буквальный и его не надо переводить. Извините.
Удивительно, что нет английского аналога!

In the southern hemisphere the moon phases run on C-O-D current. If the moon looks like a C in any stage to becoming an O, you're looking at the waxing moon. C is crescent (increscent, growing). D is decreasing.

Reverse the D <-> C relation if you're in the nouthern hemisphere.
