Favorable days for new friendships, romance, and partnerships. Take time for yourself and steer clear of emotional clashes; jealousy sits close today.
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 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.

- Clear and windy
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 27
The twenty-seventh lunar day brings calm and insight; it suits a slow pace and undemanding activities.
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.
Under a waning Moon, rest serves the kidneys and hips, and a light evening meal helps the body unwind.
On Libra days, tradition says the kidneys are more sensitive to cold, so keep the lower back warm.
Do not put off a trip to the bathroom today; the bladder prefers not to wait.
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
- 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.
With the Moon waning, tradition favors plenty of plain water or unsweetened nettle tea.
In lunar lore, the last days before the new moon prepare the body for a new cycle.
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: nuts, poppy seeds, and good oils.
Tip of the day: an avocado or nut spread on whole-grain bread is the ideal quick meal today.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Flower
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.
Libra days are flower days: roses, bulbs, and flowering vegetables such as broccoli get the attention.
A waning Moon in winter favors houseplants: repot them, remove dry leaves, and in the cellar you can prepare rootstocks and scions for grafting.
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.
