A wish to break out of the everyday grows, and many feel a restlessness they cannot explain. Try stepping out of the usual routine.
Waning gibbous
The Moon is still mostly lit, but the edge that brightened first is now fading. It rises later each evening and lingers into the morning sky. In lunar tradition, the waning weeks favor finishing, clearing, and letting go rather than starting something new.
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.
Element of the day

- Fire
- Day character
- Warm
A warm fire day in Sagittarius is lively; the energy is best spent in motion.
Lunar day 21
The twenty-first lunar day is active and creative: tackle what you have long been putting off.
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.
Break up long sitting more often today; the legs need movement.
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
- 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 lunar lore, the body switches from storing to spending after the full moon.
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: eggs, cottage cheese, and the first spring herbs.
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
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.
Fruit picked today keeps well, tradition says. A good day to turn and spread compost.
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 below ground.
Transplant seedlings and prune trees and shrubs.
Everything that grows below ground is said to do well under a waning Moon; now is the time for parsnips, radishes, and onion sets.
On fruit days everything that bears fruit asks for attention: tomatoes and peas.
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.
