At , the Moon moves into Leo.
The Moon is in its own sign. Feelings flow and people draw closer, but they bruise easily, so tread gently in conversation. It is easy to overdo food and drink.
Waning gibbous
The Moon is still mostly lit, but the edge that brightened first is now fading. It rises later each evening and lingers into the morning sky. In lunar tradition, the waning weeks favor finishing, clearing, and letting go rather than starting something new.
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.
Element of the day
- Element
- Water
- Day character
- Wet
A wet water day in Cancer is calm and receptive; plants enjoy the moisture, and the body asks for fluids.
Lunar day 20
The twentieth lunar day brings perspective: it suits decisions, plans, and deeper topics.
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 chest, breasts, lungs, stomach, liver, and gallbladder.
Under a waning Moon, the stomach and liver appreciate rest and light meals. Tradition names this a good day to take care of the chest and breasts.
Cancer days belong to the chest and the digestion. Tradition holds that alcohol and tobacco weigh on the body more than usual now, and that a late night costs more the next morning. Eat lightly and slowly.
A warm compress on the upper belly after a meal is the traditional comfort for a feeling of heaviness.
November takes away light and energy: do not fight an earlier bedtime, and use every ray of sun. Hot teas and root vegetables warm the body.
Food by lunar tradition
- Favored today
- Carbohydrates and starches
Cancer days are starch days in lunar tradition, which also asks for care from anyone with a sensitive gallbladder. Bread, potatoes, rice, and pasta are said to sit well with most people today, though some feel bloated after a small portion.
With the Moon waning, tradition favors potatoes and rice over pastries.
In lunar lore, the body switches from storing to spending after the full moon.
In November, cabbage, kale, leeks, and root vegetables rule, with nuts and dried fruit on the side. Warming soups are the backbone of the table.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: potatoes, porridge, and leeks.
Tip of the day: baked potatoes in their skins make a full meal today; a yogurt dip and vegetables are enough.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Leaf
November is the time to winterize: spread compost or well-rotted manure on the beds, protect tree trunks from rodents and rabbits, and cover young plants with evergreen boughs. Fruit trees can still be planted until the ground freezes. Carrots and parsnips sown into cold soil before winter can give an early spring crop.
Cancer days are leaf days: lettuce, spinach, chard, kale, and cabbage get the attention, and watering counts for more than usual. Herbalists gather leaves of herbs for the chest, stomach, and liver on Cancer days.
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 leaf day supports leafy vegetables and herbs, right now especially Brussels sprouts and leeks.
This is the time to harvest Brussels sprouts and leeks.
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.
