Moon Alt Waxing Crescent 2

The moon-alt-waxing-crescent-2 icon represents the second phase of the waxing crescent moon, indicating an increasing lunar illumination. This phase occurs when the moon is increasing in brightness as it approaches the full moon phase. The waxing crescent moon is often associated with growth, expansion, and new beginnings.

In software and platforms, this icon may appear in weather forecasting applications, such as Dark Sky or Weather Underground, to display the current lunar phase. It may also be used in astrology or astronomy-related tools, like Stellarium or NASA's Eyes on the Solar System.

From a UX perspective, the moon-alt-waxing-crescent-2 icon communicates a sense of growth and expansion, as the moon's illumination increases. It helps users understand the current lunar cycle and plan accordingly, especially in contexts where lunar phases affect tides, agriculture, or spiritual practices.

Moon Alt Waxing Crescent 2 is one of 230 icons in Weather Icons, made by Erik Flowers and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 30 × 30 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds MoonAltWaxingCrescent2Icon to components/icons/wi-moon-alt-waxing-crescent-2.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed MoonAltWaxingCrescent2Icon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Moon Alt Waxing Crescent 2 icon, or any of 230 Weather Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 30 × 30 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Moon Alt Waxing Crescent 2", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. MoonAltWaxingCrescent2Icon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <MoonAltWaxingCrescent2Icon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Open Font License only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Weather Icons, Erik Flowers and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
