At , the Moon moves into Gemini.
Taurus days slow things down and ask for comfort: good food, calm work, and results you can touch. Change meets more resistance than usual.
First quarter
Half of the Moon’s disk is lit—the Moon has completed the first quarter of its orbit. It rises around midday and sets around midnight, so it stands high in the evening sky. Tradition reads the first quarter as a checkpoint: efforts started at the new moon get their first test.
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 8
The eighth lunar day favors change and forgiveness: settle old disputes and start with a clean slate.
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.
The teeth appreciate a little more attention today: floss, interdental brushes, and a gentle gum massage.
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
- 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.
In lunar lore, the body builds up in earnest at the first quarter: minerals and vitamins are taken up well, and so are extra calories. Sweets are best kept rare.
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: beets, carrots, and sauerkraut.
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
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.
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.
Under a waxing Moon, tradition says, the parts of plants above ground take the lead.
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 celeriac and onions from seed.
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.
