The heart says act big, and courage comes naturally today. A good day for anything that needs self-assurance.
Waxing gibbous
More than half of the Moon is lit, and the disk fills out night by night toward the full moon. It dominates the late-evening sky. In lunar tradition, the days before a full moon are the peak of the building phase, when projects and preparations come to a head.
On its monthly path across the sky, the Moon is now descending: seen from the Northern Hemisphere, each day it crosses the sky a little lower than the day before. In planting tradition, the descending Moon draws strength toward the roots—a time for planting, transplanting, and pruning.

- Warm
A warm fire day in Leo heats steadily—a good climate for big tasks and for work outdoors in the sun.
Lunar day 11
The eleventh lunar day carries a lot of energy; use it for what matters most, but do not wear yourself out.
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 heart, back, diaphragm, blood circulation, and arteries.
Under a waxing Moon, the heart and back respond best to steady, moderate movement rather than strain.
On Leo days, the back tends to complain more, and gentle exercises help, tradition says.
A contrast shower, alternating warm and cool water, is an old folk custom.
The change of season leaves many people tired; spend time outdoors and get plenty of daylight. Allergy season begins with the first tree pollen.
Food by lunar tradition
- Favored today
- Protein and fruit
Leo days are protein-and-fruit days in lunar tradition. Eggs, fish, lean meat, legumes, and nuts are the day’s staples, and fruit is the traditional pick-me-up. Keep portions moderate: tradition holds that the body feels protein more strongly today, for better and for worse.
Under a waxing Moon, tradition favors regular, unhurried meals.
Before the full moon, tradition holds, food nourishes most: an ideal time to top up minerals and vitamins.
March brings the first spring greens: nettle, wild garlic, and watercress. They are the traditional spring tonic after winter; add them to soups and spreads.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: eggs, cottage cheese, and the first spring herbs.
Tip of the day: yogurt with fruit for breakfast covers both of the day’s foods in one bowl.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Fruit
March opens the sowing season: in the greenhouse or cold frame sow lettuce, radishes, and kohlrabi, and late in the month carrots, peas, and spinach outdoors where the soil has thawed. Tomato seedlings continue indoors. Prune currants and gooseberries, and prepare the beds.
Fruit and berries picked today are at their juiciest, tradition says, and best eaten fresh.
Leo days are fruit days: tradition points the gardener to tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, berries, and the orchard. Leo is also the sign of warmth, so water well and mulch.
Under a waxing Moon, tradition says, the parts of plants above ground take the lead.
Sow and plant everything that bears above ground.
On this month’s list for the waxing Moon: spinach, tomatoes, and broccoli.
On fruit days everything that bears fruit asks for attention: tomatoes and peas.
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.
