Thinking loosens up and invites experiment. Aquarius days favor new ideas, technology, and friendships. Routine feels tighter than usual.
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.
Element of the day

- Air
- Day character
- Clear and windy
A light, airy day in Aquarius favors teamwork and inventive solutions; the head is clear and quick.
Lunar day 13
The thirteenth lunar day is a learning day; new information tends to settle more easily than usual.
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 calves, shins, heels, ankles, and veins.
Under a waxing Moon, a simple exercise for firmer calves is the day’s practice: hands on hips, rise onto your toes, and slowly come back down onto your heels.
Aquarius days belong to the lower legs. A draft is unwelcome today, tradition says, and varicose veins can complain. Lying on your back with your legs up against a wall is the traditional rest for tired legs.
When sitting for long, circle the ankles and flex the toes now and then.
September is a good time to get used to cool showers, while the weather is still mild. The work and school rhythm returns; regular sleep helps.
Food by lunar tradition
- Favored today
- Fats and oils
Aquarius days are fat-and-oil days. Seeds, nuts, good oils, and avocado are the traditional staples; greasy fast food is said to weigh on the body today. Tradition also calls this the best day for pressing oil from seeds.
Under a waxing Moon, keep the good fats modest, tradition says.
Before the full moon, tradition holds, food nourishes most: an ideal time to top up minerals and vitamins.
September brings grapes, apples, pears, and plums, and the squash season begins. Autumn fruit is a natural source of energy as the days grow cooler.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: the first walnuts and autumn salads with oil.
Tip of the day: an avocado or nut spread on whole-grain bread is the ideal quick meal today.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Flower
September belongs to the fall harvest: apples, pears, grapes, potatoes, and root vegetables for storage. Sow spinach and corn salad to overwinter. Start a compost pile from the crop residue.
In the herb-gathering tradition, Aquarius days are for herbs meant for the breath and for easing tense muscles.
Tend and water the flowers you want to bloom. Gather herb flowers at noon when the day is sunny and warm, with the blossoms open.
Aquarius days are flower days, and in tradition the least favorable days for sowing and transplanting; use them for the ornamental garden and for cutting flowers.
Sow and plant everything that bears above ground.
A growing Moon favors leaves, flowers, and fruit, so focus on corn salad and overwintering spinach.
Harvest time: this month belongs to crops such as pears, grapes, and potatoes.
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.
