The day moves at a softer pace, and hunches deserve a hearing. Allow yourself music, water, and a moment of quiet.
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 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 wet water day in Pisces is gentle and slow, suited to reflection and unhurried work.
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 feet, soles, and toes.
Pisces days belong to the feet. A foot massage or acupressure on the soles is the day’s classic practice, tradition says.
The March new moon is the traditional start of spring’s lighter eating: fresh greens, nettle tea, and smaller portions.
The day’s foot massage needs only five minutes before sleep and a drop of oil.
The change of season leaves many people tired; spend time outdoors and get plenty of daylight. Allergy season begins with the first tree pollen.
Food by lunar tradition
- Favored today
- Carbohydrates and starches
Pisces days are starch days. Potatoes, rice, grains, and bread are said to nourish well today, and lettuce is said to be at its juiciest and tastiest. Keep portions modest if bloating is a familiar guest.
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.
March brings the first spring greens: nettle, wild garlic, and watercress. They are the traditional spring tonic after winter; add them to soups and spreads.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: potatoes, barley, and whole-grain bread.
Tip of the day: a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast; carbohydrates are processed well today, tradition says.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Leaf
March opens the sowing season: in the greenhouse or cold frame sow lettuce, radishes, and kohlrabi, and late in the month carrots, peas, and spinach outdoors where the soil has thawed. Tomato seedlings continue indoors. Prune currants and gooseberries, and prepare the beds.
Pisces days are leaf days: tradition favors sowing and planting everything grown for its leaves, and generous watering. Herbalists gather leaves on Pisces days too, though tradition rates Cancer and Scorpio days higher.
On leaf days the leafy vegetables and herbs ask for attention: kohlrabi and spinach.
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.
