Feelings run deep and intuition is sharp. Scorpio days suit concentrated work and plain truth. Keep passions in hand.
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.

Lunar day 4
The fourth lunar day asks you to slow down: a calm schedule, time with the people close to you, and undemanding tasks.
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.
A warm bath or a heating pad is the simple comfort of the day.
September is a good time to get used to cool showers, while the weather is still mild. The work and school rhythm returns; regular sleep helps.
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.
As the Moon begins to wax, lunar lore says the body switches to storing, so what you eat matters more.
September brings grapes, apples, pears, and plums, and the squash season begins. Autumn fruit is a natural source of energy as the days grow cooler.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: potatoes, squash, and grapes.
Tip of the day: baked potatoes in their skins make a full meal today; a yogurt dip and vegetables are enough.
Garden by the moon

- Leaf
September belongs to the fall harvest: apples, pears, grapes, potatoes, and root vegetables for storage. Sow spinach and corn salad to overwinter. Start a compost pile from the crop residue.
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.
Sow and plant everything that bears above ground.
A growing Moon favors leaves, flowers, and fruit, so focus on overwintering spinach and corn salad.
On leaf days the leafy vegetables and herbs ask for attention: overwintering spinach and corn salad.
Harvest time: this month belongs to crops such as carrots, beets, and apples.
