Scorpio days bring a leaning toward criticism and suspicion, especially about money. Perception is heightened, and habits and rituals grow stronger; do not let a small matter become a crisis.
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.

Lunar day 19
The nineteenth lunar day favors decluttering, in things and in relationships. Keep what matters and part with the rest.
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 waning Moon, rest serves the lower belly best. An early night and a cup of chamomile tea are the traditional measures.
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.
The change of season leaves many people tired; spend time outdoors and get plenty of daylight. Allergy season begins with the first tree pollen.
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 waning Moon, tradition trims the carbohydrates and adds vegetables.
In lunar lore, the body switches from storing to spending after the full moon.
March brings the first spring greens: nettle, wild garlic, and watercress. They are the traditional spring tonic after winter; add them to soups and spreads.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: potatoes, barley, and whole-grain bread.
Tip of the day: a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast; carbohydrates are processed well today, tradition says.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Leaf
March opens the sowing season: in the greenhouse or cold frame sow lettuce, radishes, and kohlrabi, and late in the month carrots, peas, and spinach outdoors where the soil has thawed. Tomato seedlings continue indoors. Prune currants and gooseberries, and prepare the beds.
An excellent day to gather nettle leaves: in the morning after the dew, from young plants, since older ones are said to carry a lot of nitrogen. Nettle tea has a surprisingly pleasant taste and is at its best now, tradition says.
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 below ground.
Transplant seedlings and prune trees and shrubs.
On this month’s list for the waning Moon: onion sets, carrots, and parsnips.
On leaf days the leafy vegetables and herbs ask for attention: kohlrabi and spinach.
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.
