๐ Meaning: A brightly shining yellowish golden moon with a thin dark crescent on the right side. Sometimes, this crescent is definitive, whereas sometimes, it crawls onto the bright side.
The ๐ Waning Gibbous Moon emoji represents the sixth phase of the moon/lunar cycle. During this phase, the moon is neither half nor full but is rather closing up and in a way, getting smaller and less bright.

How and When to Use the ๐ Waning Gibbous Moon Emoji
- ๐ seems like the moon is beginning to shrink when seen from the earth. In a sense, itโs not full anymore. So, if youโre referring to a person, situation, conversation, anything that burned bright for long and is beginning to lose luster, you can use ๐.
- Since the waning gibbous moon is post the full moon, phase it suggests a sense of darkening after revealing itself. From a use case POV, ๐ can also symbolize diminishing after complete revelation. For instance, โMan, IDK whatโs happening. This scrub worked like magic before and now itโs just not doing anything to my skin! ๐โ.
- Also, apart from the moon, people, things and other creatures have a waning phase as well. You could probably use ๐ to refer to those phases as well โ โPMS is my ULTIMATE waning period ๐โ.
- If youโre texting your bestie about how a potential romantic interest bloomed at one point and randomly began disappearing, use ๐. For example, โShe was all over me last night and now she blocked me ๐โ.
