At , the Moon moves into Scorpio.
The day pulls toward depth, and half measures will not do. A good time to get to the bottom of a problem.
Waxing gibbous
More than half of the Moon is lit, and the disk fills out night by night toward the full moon. It dominates the late-evening sky. In lunar tradition, the days before a full moon are the peak of the building phase, when projects and preparations come to a head.
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.

- Water
- Day character
- Wet
A wet water day in Scorpio is an intense one in tradition; feelings tend to run high.
Lunar day 10
The tenth lunar day is a family day: time for home, traditions, and family ties.
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 reproductive organs and urinary tract.
Under a waxing Moon, tradition favors gentle movement and no heavy lifting.
Scorpio days belong to the lower belly, and lunar tradition advises against hair removal on these days.
Tradition says the belly is more sensitive today; choose looser clothing and comfort.
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
- Carbohydrates and starches
Scorpio days belong to carbohydrates. Whole grains, potatoes, and legumes are the day’s staples, and tradition keeps bread, pasta, and rice to modest portions.
Under a waxing Moon, whole grains are the traditional choice.
Before the full moon, tradition holds, food nourishes most: an ideal time to top up minerals and vitamins.
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: new potatoes and peas.
Tip of the day: brown rice or whole-wheat pasta instead of white; on a carbohydrate day, slow, steady energy is welcome.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Leaf
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.
A good day for gathering spices and herbs of every kind.
A good day to gather herb leaves, from young plants only; flowered or cut plants are past their best, tradition says. Mid-morning after the dew is the time; only nettle waits for the waning Moon.
Scorpio days are leaf days: leafy greens, herbs, and watering get the attention. Herbalists gather herbs for the bladder and the reproductive organs on Scorpio days.
Under a waxing Moon, tradition says, the parts of plants above ground take the lead.
Sow and plant everything that bears above ground.
The waxing Moon favors the parts of plants above ground; now is the time for beans, summer lettuce, and leeks.
A leaf day supports leafy vegetables and herbs, right now especially kale, spring lettuce, and summer lettuce.
The harvest is coming in: spring lettuce, early potatoes, and strawberries.
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.
