At , the Moon moves into Capricorn.
Capricorn days clear the mind and point it in one direction. Stray thoughts fade, and long-term goals come into focus. Discipline pays off, just not immediately.
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.
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.

- Cold
A cold earth day in Capricorn is steady and persistent, made for work that takes stamina.
Lunar day 3
The third lunar day brings extra energy: it suits active movement and bolder steps.
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 knees, bones, joints, and skin.
Under a waxing Moon, care and strengthening of the joints count for more: warm up well and move gently.
On Capricorn days, tradition favors skin care: shaving, hair removal, and a rich cream are said to have a longer-lasting effect.
The skin appreciates moisture: reach for a body lotion or an oil after the shower.
November takes away light and energy: do not fight an earlier bedtime, and use every ray of sun. Hot teas and root vegetables warm the body.
Food by lunar tradition
- Favored today
- Salts and minerals
Capricorn days belong to minerals and salts. Tradition favors home-cooked root vegetables over anything processed. A salt bath in the evening is said to calm both skin and mind.
A waxing Moon favors mineral-rich meals; leafy greens and seeds are the traditional choice.
As the Moon begins to wax, lunar lore says the body switches to storing, so what you eat matters more.
In November, cabbage, kale, leeks, and root vegetables rule, with nuts and dried fruit on the side. Warming soups are the backbone of the table.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: kale, leeks, and root vegetables.
Tip of the day: a broth of root vegetables with a pinch of unrefined salt, a simple mineral-rich dish from the pot.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Root
November is the time to winterize: spread compost or well-rotted manure on the beds, protect tree trunks from rodents and rabbits, and cover young plants with evergreen boughs. Fruit trees can still be planted until the ground freezes. Carrots and parsnips sown into cold soil before winter can give an early spring crop.
Capricorn days are root days, and in tradition the days for structure in the garden: building beds, paths, and fences. Herbalists gather herbs for the bones, joints, and skin on Capricorn days.
Under a waxing Moon, tradition says, the parts of plants above ground take the lead.
Rootstocks stored in the cellar can be bench-grafted now.
In winter, move lunar gardening indoors: under a waxing Moon, windowsill sowings are said to do well, and cress, sprouts, and potted herbs to grow faster.
On root days it pays to tend what grows underground: parsnips and carrots.
This is the time to harvest leeks and Brussels sprouts.
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.
