At , the Moon moves into Aries.
A good time to be alone with yourself; silence, reflection, and spiritual themes fare better than company. Feelings stay guarded, so do not force trust.
Waning crescent
Only a crescent remains, visible in the eastern sky before sunrise. The lunar cycle is closing. In lunar tradition, these quiet days suit rest and wrapping up—the next new moon is near.
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.

- Wet
A wet water day in Pisces is gentle and slow, suited to reflection and unhurried work.
Lunar day 29
The twenty-ninth lunar day tends to be heavier: postpone important decisions, sleep well, and keep the day simple.
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 feet, soles, and toes.
Under a waning Moon, the feet appreciate rest: put them up for a while in the evening.
Pisces days belong to the feet. A foot massage or acupressure on the soles is the day’s classic practice, tradition says.
The day’s foot massage needs only five minutes before sleep and a drop of oil.
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
Pisces days are starch days. Potatoes, rice, grains, and bread are said to nourish well today, and lettuce is said to be at its juiciest and tastiest. Keep portions modest if bloating is a familiar guest.
With the Moon waning, tradition keeps the starches light; a salad with potatoes suits the day.
In lunar lore, the last days before the new moon prepare the body for a new cycle.
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.
The right day for nettle tea from freshly picked leaves.
Pisces days are leaf days: tradition favors sowing and planting everything grown for its leaves, and generous watering. Herbalists gather leaves on Pisces days too, though tradition rates Cancer and Scorpio days higher.
Sow and plant everything that bears below ground.
Transplant seedlings and prune trees and shrubs.
On this month’s list for the waning Moon: parsnips, radishes, and onion sets.
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.
