A day for freedom and originality; try an old thing a new way. Like-minded company recharges you today.
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 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.

- 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 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 calves, shins, heels, ankles, and veins.
Under a waning Moon, the lower legs appreciate rest.
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.
Avoid standing still for long today; the leg veins are more sensitive than usual, tradition says.
In June, think of hydration and sun protection: a high-SPF sunscreen and shade at midday. Tick season is in full swing; check yourself after time in grass and woods.
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 waning Moon, fats are said to sit more lightly.
In lunar lore, the body switches from storing to spending after the full moon.
June is the month of strawberries, cherries, and the first peas; lettuce and young kohlrabi arrive. Light summer meals go well with fresh herbs.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: salads with herbs, oil, and seeds.
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
June is the month of growth and the first harvest: strawberries, peas, lettuce, and, late in the month, early potatoes. Sow more beans and summer lettuce, and plant out seedlings for the fall harvest: kale, cauliflower, and leeks. Water regularly and mulch.
In the herb-gathering tradition, Aquarius days are for herbs meant for the breath and for easing tense muscles.
A good day to gather flowers meant for drying; they dry better now, tradition says.
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.
Under a waning Moon, tradition says, the parts of plants below ground take the lead.
Sow and plant everything that bears below ground.
Transplant seedlings and prune trees and shrubs.
On flower days the ornamental beds and the flowering vegetables take their turn: cauliflower.
Harvest time: this month belongs to crops such as strawberries, peas, and spring lettuce.
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.
