At , the Moon moves into Taurus.
Taurus days slow the pace and favor what lasts. Thoughts and reactions take their time, and what you start, you tend to finish. Expect a stubborn streak in yourself and in others.
New moon
The Moon and the Sun stand on the same side of Earth today, so the unlit half faces us and the Moon stays hidden near the Sun’s glare. The lunar cycle starts over. In lunar tradition, these are days for planning and starting fresh rather than pushing hard.
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.

A cold earth day in Taurus favors patient, concentrated work. Hurrying does not pay today.
Lunar day 30
The thirtieth lunar day closes the cycle: weigh what it brought, forgive, and prepare for a new beginning.
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 throat, vocal cords, thyroid, teeth, jaw, neck, tonsils, and ears.
Taurus days are the throat days of lunar tradition. The teeth and ears are said to be more sensitive now.
The new moon is said to be the easiest day to drop a habit; the April new moon is a good moment to part with what no longer serves you.
Keep the neck and ears out of the draft; a scarf is not overcautious today.
April is the peak of spring allergies; rinse your face and hair after time outdoors. Changeable weather calls for dressing in layers.
Food by lunar tradition
- Favored today
- Salts and minerals
Taurus days are the days of minerals and salts in lunar tradition. Mineral-rich vegetables, leafy greens, seeds, and nuts are the day’s focus; the craving for salt may be stronger, so season with a light hand.
The new moon is a traditional day of light eating: in lunar lore the body lets go most willingly at this point of the cycle.
April is the month of spinach, radishes, and the first green onions; wild garlic is at its peak. Light spring meals suit the body better than heavy dishes.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: radishes, green onions, and wild garlic.
Tip of the day: buckwheat, millet, or quinoa instead of white rice adds minerals to the meal.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Root
The Moon is at perigee today, its closest point to Earth in this orbit. In planting tradition, sowing and transplanting wait for a calmer day.
April is the main sowing month: carrots, beets, lettuce, and dill go outdoors, and early potatoes, cabbage, and kohlrabi are planted. Start cucumbers, squash, and zucchini indoors. Watch for late frosts; keep tender seedlings under cover for now.
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.
