What is the meaning behind the direction of the crescent moon?

Ah, the crescent moon, always playing hard to get with its directional preferences. Listen up: when the crescent moon's horns are pointing to the left, it's waxing towards a full moon. When they're pointing right, it's waning towards a new moon. It's basically nature's way of telling us which phase of the moon we're in without us having to google it.
