At , the Moon moves into Gemini.
Not a day for risks or big changes, especially with money. What you decide now tends to last and is hard to take back.
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.
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 Taurus favors patient, concentrated work. Hurrying does not pay today.
Lunar day 16
The sixteenth lunar day favors balance and moderation: calm work, a clean space, and order in your things.
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 throat, vocal cords, thyroid, teeth, jaw, neck, tonsils, and ears.
Under a waning Moon, rest serves the throat and neck best. A gargle with warm salt water and an early night are the traditional measures.
Taurus days are the throat days of lunar tradition. The teeth and ears are said to be more sensitive now.
The teeth appreciate a little more attention today: floss, interdental brushes, and a gentle gum massage.
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
Taurus days are the days of minerals and salts in lunar tradition. Mineral-rich vegetables, leafy greens, seeds, and nuts are the day’s focus; the craving for salt may be stronger, so season with a light hand.
Under a waning Moon, tradition keeps the salt light and the water plentiful.
In lunar lore, the body switches from storing to spending after the full moon.
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: steam vegetables or cook them in little water, so more of their minerals stay on the plate.
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.
Taurus days are root days: carrots, beets, potatoes, onions, and garlic get the attention. Herbalists who follow the Moon gather herbs for the throat and ears on Taurus days.
A waning Moon in winter favors houseplants: repot them, remove dry leaves, and in the cellar you can prepare rootstocks and scions for grafting.
Today’s root day favors everything that grows below ground, right now especially carrots and parsnips.
The harvest is coming in: Brussels sprouts and leeks.
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.
