Not a day for risks or big changes, especially with money. What you decide now tends to last and is hard to take back.
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 climbing: seen from the Northern Hemisphere, each day it crosses the sky a little higher than the day before. In planting tradition, the ascending Moon is the time of rising sap—a time for grafting and for harvesting fruit meant to stay fresh.

A cold earth day in Taurus favors patient, concentrated work. Hurrying does not pay today.
Lunar day 15
The fifteenth lunar day asks for restraint: avoid temptations and sharp reactions.
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 throat, vocal cords, thyroid, teeth, jaw, neck, tonsils, and ears.
Under a waxing Moon, tradition favors gentle care for the neck and throat: slow neck stretches, a warm compress, and no heavy lifting that strains the shoulders and jaw.
Taurus days are the throat days of lunar tradition. The teeth and ears are said to be more sensitive now.
A cup of sage tea with honey is a quiet, traditional comfort for the throat and the voice.
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
- Salts and minerals
Taurus days are the days of minerals and salts in lunar tradition. Mineral-rich vegetables, leafy greens, seeds, and nuts are the day’s focus; the craving for salt may be stronger, so season with a light hand.
Under a waxing Moon, a mineral-rich salad suits the day, tradition says.
Before the full moon, tradition holds, food nourishes most: an ideal time to top up minerals and vitamins.
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: kale, leeks, and root vegetables.
Tip of the day: steam vegetables or cook them in little water, so more of their minerals stay on the plate.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Root
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.
Taurus days are root days: carrots, beets, potatoes, onions, and garlic get the attention. Herbalists who follow the Moon gather herbs for the throat and ears on Taurus days.
Rootstocks stored in the cellar can be bench-grafted now.
In winter, move lunar gardening indoors: under a waxing Moon, windowsill sowings are said to do well, and cress, sprouts, and potted herbs to grow faster.
Today’s root day favors everything that grows below ground, right now especially parsnips and carrots.
The harvest is coming in: leeks and Brussels sprouts.
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.
