The appetite for movement and freedom grows, and heading out beats sitting still. A good day for bold decisions made with perspective.
Last quarter
Half of the Moon is lit again—the mirror of the first quarter. It rises around midnight and stands high in the morning sky. Tradition treats the last quarter as a time to review, release, and clear space before the next cycle.
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.

A warm fire day in Sagittarius is lively; the energy is best spent in motion.
Lunar day 22
The twenty-second lunar day is a day of wisdom: pass on experience and learn from those who have more of it.
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 waning Moon, the thighs and veins appreciate rest and light exercise only.
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.
Stretch the thighs and the backs of the legs slowly and without bouncing.
February is the height of cold and flu season: sleep enough, eat fermented vegetables and citrus, and air out the rooms briefly but thoroughly.
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 waning Moon, a lighter protein day suits the body, tradition says.
In the last quarter, the body is said to shed water more easily. Bitter and diuretic foods are the traditional helpers: chicory, celery, and parsley.
February still draws on the winter pantry: sauerkraut, beets, carrots, and dried fruit. Sprouts on the windowsill are the first fresh vegetable of the year.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: legumes, eggs, and cottage cheese.
Tip of the day: a bean spread or a lentil soup makes a filling meal of plant protein.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Fruit
February starts the seedlings: on a warm windowsill sow peppers, which germinate best at 77–82°F (25–28°C), and the first tomatoes, which are content with 68–77°F (20–25°C). Finish pruning fruit trees on frost-free days and get the cold frame ready. Check tools and potting mix; the season is close.
Sagittarius days are fruit days with a leaning toward seeds: tradition favors sowing and harvesting fruiting crops and collecting seed for next year.
A waning Moon in winter favors houseplants: repot them, remove dry leaves, and in the cellar you can prepare rootstocks and scions for grafting.
A fruit day is made for fruiting vegetables and fruit, right now especially peppers.
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.
