At , the Moon moves into Capricorn.
Discipline and pragmatism have the upper hand. Capricorn days favor duties, long-term goals, and patient work. Progress is slow but solid.
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 Capricorn is steady and persistent, made for work that takes stamina.
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 knees, bones, joints, and skin.
On Capricorn days, tradition favors skin care: shaving, hair removal, and a rich cream are said to have a longer-lasting effect.
The December new moon is a merciful pause between holiday tables: allow a day of light meals and quiet.
The skin appreciates moisture: reach for a body lotion or an oil after the shower.
December is hard on sleep and digestion: keep bedtimes regular, even between holiday parties. Balance dry indoor heat with fresh air and fluids.
Food by lunar tradition
- Favored today
- Salts and minerals
Capricorn days belong to minerals and salts. Tradition favors home-cooked root vegetables over anything processed. A salt bath in the evening is said to calm both skin and mind.
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.
December offers the winter classics: cabbage, beets, dried fruit, nuts, and citrus for vitamin C. Between holiday feasts, give the body lighter days too.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: cabbage, beets, and citrus.
Tip of the day: steam vegetables or cook them in little water, so more of their minerals stay on the plate.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Root
December lets the soil rest: beds covered with leaves or evergreen boughs come through winter better. Check stored produce and tools, and keep the bird feeders full. Cress grows on the windowsill, and next year’s bed plan grows in the warmth of the house.
Capricorn days are root days, and in tradition the days for structure in the garden: building beds, paths, and fences. Herbalists gather herbs for the bones, joints, and skin on Capricorn days.
At the new moon, leave the plants alone, indoors too: it is a good day to plan the beds and to check seeds and stored produce.
This is the time to harvest Brussels sprouts.
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.
