The appetite for something new is stronger than usual. The mind runs at full speed while the body asks for movement rather than a chair.
Full moon
The Moon stands opposite the Sun and its whole face is lit. It rises around sunset and shines all night. In lunar tradition, the full moon marks a turning point: what was building culminates, and the weeks of letting go begin.
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 16
The sixteenth lunar day favors balance and moderation: calm work, a clean space, and order in your things.
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.
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.
At the October full moon, a warm bath and an early supper help sleep.
A saline rinse or a steam inhalation with sea salt is the traditional care for the nose on Aries days.
October opens the season of coughs and colds: frequent hand washing and fresh air are the cheapest prevention. Raw weather calls for warm feet and dry shoes.
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.
At the full moon the body is said to absorb everything, including what you would rather it did not: skip heavy meals, alcohol, and second helpings.
October belongs to pumpkins, apples, nuts, and cabbage. Warm dishes of root vegetables suit the shorter days.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: nuts, legumes, and apples.
Tip of the day: notice how you feel after meat; on a protein day the body says clearly how much it can take.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Fruit
October closes the harvest: late apples, pumpkins, cabbage, and the last root vegetables go into storage, and the walnuts come down. Plant garlic and overwintering onions; it is also a good time to plant fruit trees and shrubs. Dig over the beds and put the garden to bed for winter.
In the herb-gathering tradition, Aries days are for herbs meant for the heart and circulation.
Aries days are fruit days in the planting-by-the-signs tradition: tomatoes, peppers, squash, beans, and the fruit trees get the attention.
On fruit days everything that bears fruit asks for attention: berry bushes, late apples, and pumpkins.
The harvest is coming in: carrots, parsnips, and late apples.
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.
