Fun and a zest for life take the stage, and everyone performs a little. Leo days also call for looking after those who need help; possessiveness, though, wears on relationships.
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 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 warm fire day in Leo heats steadily—a good climate for big tasks and for work outdoors in the sun.
Lunar day 22
The twenty-second lunar day is a day of wisdom: pass on experience and learn from those who have more of it.
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 heart, back, diaphragm, blood circulation, and arteries.
Under a waning Moon, rest serves the heart and back. Put your feet up, breathe slowly, and leave the hard training for another day.
On Leo days, the back tends to complain more, and gentle exercises help, tradition says.
Cat stretches and light backbends are the classic back routine; stop before anything hurts.
November takes away light and energy: do not fight an earlier bedtime, and use every ray of sun. Hot teas and root vegetables warm the body.
Food by lunar tradition
- Favored today
- Protein and fruit
Leo days are protein-and-fruit days in lunar tradition. Eggs, fish, lean meat, legumes, and nuts are the day’s staples, and fruit is the traditional pick-me-up. Keep portions moderate: tradition holds that the body feels protein more strongly today, for better and for worse.
Under a waning Moon, tradition keeps the evening meal light.
In lunar lore, the body switches from storing to spending after the full moon.
In November, cabbage, kale, leeks, and root vegetables rule, with nuts and dried fruit on the side. Warming soups are the backbone of the table.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: legumes, kale, and dried fruit.
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
November is the time to winterize: spread compost or well-rotted manure on the beds, protect tree trunks from rodents and rabbits, and cover young plants with evergreen boughs. Fruit trees can still be planted until the ground freezes. Carrots and parsnips sown into cold soil before winter can give an early spring crop.
Leo days are fruit days: tradition points the gardener to tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, berries, and the orchard. Leo is also the sign of warmth, so water well and mulch.
A waning Moon in winter favors houseplants: repot them, remove dry leaves, and in the cellar you can prepare rootstocks and scions for grafting.
A fruit day is made for fruiting vegetables and fruit, right now especially fruit trees.
This is the time to harvest Brussels sprouts and leeks.
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.
