See SB 10.59.43 p., quote from Skanda Purana:

tasyaitah saktayo devi
sodasaiva prakirtitah
candra-rupi matah krsnah
kala-rupas tu tah smrtah

These gopis are His renowned sixteen potencies, O goddess. Krishna is like the moon, the gopis are like its phases, and the full contingent of gopis is like the full sequence of the moons sixteen phases.
