Reason and curiosity about the wider world speak up: good days for new ideas and plans for the future. Clinging too hard to ideals invites disappointment.
First quarter
Half of the Moon’s disk is lit—the Moon has completed the first quarter of its orbit. It rises around midday and sets around midnight, so it stands high in the evening sky. Tradition reads the first quarter as a checkpoint: efforts started at the new moon get their first test.
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.

A light, airy day in Aquarius favors teamwork and inventive solutions; the head is clear and quick.
Lunar day 8
The eighth lunar day favors change and forgiveness: settle old disputes and start with a clean slate.
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 waxing Moon, a simple exercise for firmer calves is the day’s practice: hands on hips, rise onto your toes, and slowly come back down onto your heels.
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.
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
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 waxing Moon, keep the good fats modest, tradition says.
In lunar lore, the body builds up in earnest at the first quarter: minerals and vitamins are taken up well, and so are extra calories. Sweets are best kept rare.
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: a handful of nuts instead of a sweet, in keeping with the day.
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.
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 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.
Harvest time: this month belongs to crops such as 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.
