At , the Moon moves into Aquarius.
Thinking loosens up and invites experiment. Aquarius days favor new ideas, technology, and friendships. Routine feels tighter than usual.
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.

- Air
- Day character
- Clear and windy
A light, airy day in Aquarius favors teamwork and inventive solutions; the head is clear and quick.
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 calves, shins, heels, ankles, and veins.
Under a waning Moon, the lower legs appreciate rest.
Aquarius days belong to the lower legs. A draft is unwelcome today, tradition says, and varicose veins can complain. Lying on your back with your legs up against a wall is the traditional rest for tired legs.
When sitting for long, circle the ankles and flex the toes now and then.
February is the height of cold and flu season: sleep enough, eat fermented vegetables and citrus, and air out the rooms briefly but thoroughly.
Food by lunar tradition
- Favored today
- Fats and oils
Aquarius days are fat-and-oil days. Seeds, nuts, good oils, and avocado are the traditional staples; greasy fast food is said to weigh on the body today. Tradition also calls this the best day for pressing oil from seeds.
Under a waning Moon, fats are said to sit more lightly.
In lunar lore, the last days before the new moon prepare the body for a new cycle.
February still draws on the winter pantry: sauerkraut, beets, carrots, and dried fruit. Sprouts on the windowsill are the first fresh vegetable of the year.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: nuts, sunflower seeds, and flaxseed oil.
Tip of the day: a spoonful of good cold-pressed oil, flaxseed or olive, on a salad; tradition says the body makes the best use of fats today.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Flower
February starts the seedlings: on a warm windowsill sow peppers, which germinate best at 77–82°F (25–28°C), and the first tomatoes, which are content with 68–77°F (20–25°C). Finish pruning fruit trees on frost-free days and get the cold frame ready. Check tools and potting mix; the season is close.
Aquarius days are flower days, and in tradition the least favorable days for sowing and transplanting; use them for the ornamental garden and for cutting flowers.
Under a waning Moon, tradition says, the parts of plants below ground take the lead.
A waning Moon in winter favors houseplants: repot them, remove dry leaves, and in the cellar you can prepare rootstocks and scions for grafting.
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.
