Horizons widen. Sagittarius days favor travel, learning, and big plans. Optimism is contagious; promise in moderation.
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.
Seen from the Northern Hemisphere, the Moon is near the lowest turn of its monthly path across the sky, where it switches from descending to climbing.

- Fire
- Day character
- Warm
A warm fire day in Sagittarius is lively; the energy is best spent in motion.
Lunar day 6
The sixth lunar day is a day of words: conversations, letters, and reconciliations come more easily.
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 thighs and veins.
Under a waxing Moon, moderate exercise and a massage for the thighs are the traditional care; long hikes and hard climbs can wait.
On Sagittarius days, tradition favors a shorter route and a gentle pace on a bike ride or a hike, and legs raised for a while in the evening.
Break up long sitting more often today; the legs need movement.
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
- Protein and fruit
Sagittarius days belong to protein and fruit. Tradition favors a simple protein at each meal and fresh fruit instead of sweets. If meat tends to sit heavily, legumes and eggs are the lighter route today.
Under a waxing Moon, tradition keeps the protein portions modest.
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: plums, pears, and legumes.
Tip of the day: yogurt with fruit for breakfast covers both of the day’s foods in one bowl.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Fruit
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.
In the herb-gathering tradition, Sagittarius days are for herbs meant for the veins and circulation.
Tradition calls this the best day to gather ripe fruit and seed, though the fruit is for eating right away.
Sagittarius days are fruit days with a leaning toward seeds: tradition favors sowing and harvesting fruiting crops and collecting seed for next year.
Sow and plant everything that bears above ground.
On this month’s list for the waxing Moon: overwintering spinach and corn salad.
On fruit days everything that bears fruit asks for attention: apples, pears, and grapes.
This is the time to harvest apples, pears, and grapes.
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.
