At , the Moon moves into Scorpio.
Scorpio days bring a leaning toward criticism and suspicion, especially about money. Perception is heightened, and habits and rituals grow stronger; do not let a small matter become a crisis.
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 descending: seen from the Northern Hemisphere, each day it crosses the sky a little lower than the day before. In planting tradition, the descending Moon draws strength toward the roots—a time for planting, transplanting, and pruning.

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 reproductive organs and urinary tract.
Scorpio days belong to the lower belly, and lunar tradition advises against hair removal on these days.
The October new moon favors a lighter day before winter: soups and teas suit both digestion and mood.
Yarrow or lady’s mantle tea is the traditional herbal companion on Scorpio days.
October opens the season of coughs and colds: frequent hand washing and fresh air are the cheapest prevention. Raw weather calls for warm feet and dry shoes.

- Favored today
- Carbohydrates and starches
Scorpio days belong to carbohydrates. Whole grains, potatoes, and legumes are the day’s staples, and tradition keeps bread, pasta, and rice to modest portions.
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.
October belongs to pumpkins, apples, nuts, and cabbage. Warm dishes of root vegetables suit the shorter days.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: pumpkin soup, potatoes, and chestnuts.
Tip of the day: a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast; carbohydrates are processed well today, tradition says.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Leaf
October closes the harvest: late apples, pumpkins, cabbage, and the last root vegetables go into storage, and the walnuts come down. Plant garlic and overwintering onions; it is also a good time to plant fruit trees and shrubs. Dig over the beds and put the garden to bed for winter.
A good day for gathering spices and herbs of every kind.
Scorpio days are leaf days: leafy greens, herbs, and watering get the attention. Herbalists gather herbs for the bladder and the reproductive organs on Scorpio days.
On leaf days the leafy vegetables and herbs ask for attention: cabbage.
Harvest time: this month belongs to crops such as late apples, pumpkins, and cabbage.
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.
