Favorable days for new friendships, romance, and partnerships. Take time for yourself and steer clear of emotional clashes; jealousy sits close today.
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 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 light, airy day in Libra is easy and sociable, a fitting time for meetings and for work that needs a good eye.
Lunar day 14
The fourteenth lunar day stands near the height of the cycle: it suits important beginnings and decisions.
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 hips, kidneys, and urinary bladder.
On Libra days, tradition says the kidneys are more sensitive to cold, so keep the lower back warm.
At the April full moon, give the body a calmer evening without screens.
Cranberries and unsweetened cranberry juice are the traditional companions of the urinary tract.
April is the peak of spring allergies; rinse your face and hair after time outdoors. Changeable weather calls for dressing in layers.
Food by lunar tradition
- Favored today
- Fats and oils
Libra days belong to fats and oils. Tradition favors good fats such as nuts, seeds, and fish, and advises caution with fried food, which can feel heavy today.
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.
April is the month of spinach, radishes, and the first green onions; wild garlic is at its peak. Light spring meals suit the body better than heavy dishes.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: olive oil on spring salads, 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
April is the main sowing month: carrots, beets, lettuce, and dill go outdoors, and early potatoes, cabbage, and kohlrabi are planted. Start cucumbers, squash, and zucchini indoors. Watch for late frosts; keep tender seedlings under cover for now.
In the herb-gathering tradition, Libra days are for herbs meant for the kidneys, the bladder, and the joints.
Libra days are flower days: roses, bulbs, and flowering vegetables such as broccoli get the attention.
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.
