The wish for harmony grows. Libra days favor relationships, beauty, and compromise. Decisions come harder than usual.
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.

A light, airy day in Libra is easy and sociable, a fitting time for meetings and for work that needs a good eye.
Lunar day 1
The first lunar day favors setting intentions: put into words what you want from the new cycle. Leave big deeds for later.
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 hips, kidneys, and urinary bladder.
On Libra days, tradition says the kidneys are more sensitive to cold, so keep the lower back warm.
The September new moon calls for a simpler table as autumn begins: light soups and warm teas suit the change of season.
Slow hip circles and a stretch for the sides make a simple routine for the day.
September is a good time to get used to cool showers, while the weather is still mild. The work and school rhythm returns; regular sleep helps.
Food by lunar tradition
- Favored today
- Fats and oils
Libra days belong to fats and oils. Tradition favors good fats such as nuts, seeds, and fish, and advises caution with fried food, which can feel heavy today.
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.
September brings grapes, apples, pears, and plums, and the squash season begins. Autumn fruit is a natural source of energy as the days grow cooler.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: the first walnuts and autumn salads with oil.
Tip of the day: a handful of nuts instead of a sweet, in keeping with the day.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Flower
September belongs to the fall harvest: apples, pears, grapes, potatoes, and root vegetables for storage. Sow spinach and corn salad to overwinter. Start a compost pile from the crop residue.
In the herb-gathering tradition, Libra days are for herbs meant for the kidneys, the bladder, and the joints.
Libra days are flower days: roses, bulbs, and flowering vegetables such as broccoli get the attention.
The harvest is coming in: pears, grapes, and potatoes.
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.
