Aries days push for a quick start. The urge to act now is strong, and patience runs short, so sharp words come easily. A straight path works better today than a clever detour.
Waxing crescent
A crescent of the Moon is lit, and it grows a little each evening. Look for it in the western sky after sunset. In lunar tradition, the waxing Moon stands for building up: intake, growth, and new efforts all trend upward.
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 warm fire day in Aries brings a burst of drive. Pace yourself and spread the effort across the day.
Lunar day 7
The seventh lunar day supports communication and errands; say out loud what you think, but weigh your words.
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 head, brain, eyes, and nose.
With the Moon waxing, tradition favors care and strengthening for the head and eyes rather than strain: a shorter screen day, more daylight, and a walk in fresh air.
Aries days belong to the head. Simple eye exercises, a scalp massage with the fingertips, and a splash of cold water on the hands afterward are the classic routine.
Keep a glass of water within reach today; a dull headache often turns out to be simple thirst.
January is short on daylight: step outside at midday for at least a quarter of an hour, since even a gray sky is far brighter than indoor light. Keep a regular sleep schedule, and look to food for vitamin D; the winter sun is too low to make much of it.
Food by lunar tradition
- Favored today
- Protein and fruit
On Aries days, lunar tradition puts protein and fruit at the top of the table. A meal rich in protein can feel especially satisfying today, yet a sensitive stomach may find even a small portion heavy.
With the Moon waxing, tradition favors a hearty, balanced plate.
As the Moon begins to wax, lunar lore says the body switches to storing, so what you eat matters more.
January cooking rests on the stored harvest: cabbage and sauerkraut, root vegetables, winter squash, apples, and nuts. Citrus is at its best now, and fermented vegetables add vitamin C of their own.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: lentils, beans, and eggs.
Tip of the day: a bean spread or a lentil soup makes a filling meal of plant protein.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Fruit
January in the garden belongs to planning: draw up the planting plan, order seeds, and check stored produce, discarding anything that has started to rot. Keep the bird feeders full. Prune apple and pear trees only on frost-free days; cuts heal poorly in a hard freeze.
Aries days are fruit days in the planting-by-the-signs tradition: tomatoes, peppers, squash, beans, and the fruit trees get the attention.
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.
This is the time to harvest kale 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.
