At , the Moon moves into Taurus.
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.
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 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.

- Day character
- Warm
A warm fire day in Aries brings a burst of drive. Pace yourself and spread the effort across the day.
Lunar day 15
The fifteenth lunar day asks for restraint: avoid temptations and sharp reactions.
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.
With the Moon waxing, tradition favors care and strengthening for the head and eyes rather than strain: a shorter screen day, more daylight, and a walk in fresh air.
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.
Give the eyes a break: at the screen, look into the distance for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.
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.
With the Moon waxing, tradition favors a hearty, balanced plate.
Before the full moon, tradition holds, food nourishes most: an ideal time to top up minerals and vitamins.
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.
Fruit picked today is especially juicy and flavorful, tradition says, but it is meant for eating right away.
Aries days are fruit days in the planting-by-the-signs tradition: tomatoes, peppers, squash, beans, and the fruit trees get the attention.
Sow and plant everything that bears above ground.
The waxing Moon favors the parts of plants above ground; now is the time for berry bushes and fruit trees.
A fruit day is made for fruiting vegetables and fruit, right now especially fruit trees, berry bushes, and late apples.
The harvest is coming in: walnuts, carrots, and parsnips.
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.
