What π means
The tone is neutral. Most people send π because they want a half moon and do not mind which phase it is. It works for "halfway there" messages and for the idea of two sides, like a calm side and a dark side. In moon-phase rows, it marks the first quarter, about a week after the new moon. This is the Northern Hemisphere view.
