At , the Moon moves into Virgo.
The eye for detail sharpens. Virgo days suit tidying, sorting, and precise work. Keep the critical streak in check, toward yourself and others.
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 descending: seen from the Northern Hemisphere, each day it crosses the sky a little lower than the day before. In planting tradition, the descending Moon draws strength toward the roots—a time for planting, transplanting, and pruning.

A cold earth day in Virgo lends itself to practical, exacting tasks; hands and mind both work reliably.
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 digestive tract, small intestine, colon, nerves, spleen, and pancreas.
Under a waxing Moon, gentle exercises for the belly are the traditional practice.
Virgo days belong to the digestion and the nerves. Tradition also counts them as skin-care days: masks for the face, hair, and body are said to work well now. Keep portions small.
Yogurt, kefir, or fermented vegetables are the traditional support for the gut on Virgo days.
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
- Salts and minerals
Virgo days are mineral days. Root vegetables are the traditional stars: carrots, potatoes, beets, radishes, onions, garlic, and parsnips. Reach for mineral water and go easy on added salt even if the appetite for it grows.
With the Moon waxing, tradition advises going easy on fats.
As the Moon begins to wax, lunar lore says the body switches to storing, so what you eat matters more.
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: kohlrabi, radishes, and lettuce.
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
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.
The right time to prepare the soil for root vegetables. Tradition says not to gather herb leaves today; the valuable part sits in the root.
Virgo days are root days, and in lunar gardening lore the most reliable of them: whatever supports root growth is said to work better now than on other days. Herbalists gather herbs for the digestion and the nerves on Virgo days.
Under a waxing Moon, tradition says, the parts of plants above ground take the lead.
Sow and plant everything that bears above ground.
On this month’s list for the waxing Moon: leeks, kale, and cauliflower.
On root days it pays to tend what grows underground: early potatoes.
This is the time to harvest early potatoes, strawberries, and peas.
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.
