Horizons widen. Sagittarius days favor travel, learning, and big plans. Optimism is contagious; promise in moderation.
Waning crescent
Only a crescent remains, visible in the eastern sky before sunrise. The lunar cycle is closing. In lunar tradition, these quiet days suit rest and wrapping up—the next new moon is near.
Seen from the Northern Hemisphere, the Moon is near the lowest turn of its monthly path across the sky, where it switches from descending to climbing.

- Warm
A warm fire day in Sagittarius is lively; the energy is best spent in motion.
Lunar day 25
The twenty-fifth lunar day is slow: do not hurry, listen to your intuition, and let things ripen.
Lunar days are counted from the new moon: day 1 begins at the new moon, and a cycle has 29 or 30 of them. Tradition gives each day its own character.
Health by lunar tradition
In lunar tradition, extra care goes to the thighs and veins.
Under a waning Moon, the thighs and veins appreciate rest and light exercise only.
On Sagittarius days, tradition favors a shorter route and a gentle pace on a bike ride or a hike, and legs raised for a while in the evening.
Stretch the thighs and the backs of the legs slowly and without bouncing.
February is the height of cold and flu season: sleep enough, eat fermented vegetables and citrus, and air out the rooms briefly but thoroughly.
Food by lunar tradition
- Favored today
- Protein and fruit
Sagittarius days belong to protein and fruit. Tradition favors a simple protein at each meal and fresh fruit instead of sweets. If meat tends to sit heavily, legumes and eggs are the lighter route today.
Under a waning Moon, a lighter protein day suits the body, tradition says.
In lunar lore, the last days before the new moon prepare the body for a new cycle.
February still draws on the winter pantry: sauerkraut, beets, carrots, and dried fruit. Sprouts on the windowsill are the first fresh vegetable of the year.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: legumes, eggs, and cottage cheese.
Tip of the day: a bean spread or a lentil soup makes a filling meal of plant protein.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Fruit
February starts the seedlings: on a warm windowsill sow peppers, which germinate best at 77–82°F (25–28°C), and the first tomatoes, which are content with 68–77°F (20–25°C). Finish pruning fruit trees on frost-free days and get the cold frame ready. Check tools and potting mix; the season is close.
Sagittarius days are fruit days with a leaning toward seeds: tradition favors sowing and harvesting fruiting crops and collecting seed for next year.
Under a waning Moon, tradition says, the parts of plants below ground take the lead.
A waning Moon in winter favors houseplants: repot them, remove dry leaves, and in the cellar you can prepare rootstocks and scions for grafting.
A fruit day is made for fruiting vegetables and fruit, right now especially peppers.
Seasonal advice is for the Northern Hemisphere’s temperate zone; south of the equator, swap the seasons. For the best days of the month, see planting by the moon and the lunar hair calendar.
