Scorpio days bring a leaning toward criticism and suspicion, especially about money. Perception is heightened, and habits and rituals grow stronger; do not let a small matter become a crisis.
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 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.

A wet water day in Scorpio is an intense one in tradition; feelings tend to run high.
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 reproductive organs and urinary tract.
Scorpio days belong to the lower belly, and lunar tradition advises against hair removal on these days.
The November new moon is a day of inner housekeeping: lighter meals, more sleep, and a slower pace.
Tradition says the belly is more sensitive today; choose looser clothing and comfort.
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
- Carbohydrates and starches
Scorpio days belong to carbohydrates. Whole grains, potatoes, and legumes are the day’s staples, and tradition keeps bread, pasta, and rice to modest portions.
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.
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: potatoes, porridge, and leeks.
Tip of the day: a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast; carbohydrates are processed well today, tradition says.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Leaf
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.
Scorpio days are leaf days: leafy greens, herbs, and watering get the attention. Herbalists gather herbs for the bladder and the reproductive organs on Scorpio days.
At the new moon, leave the plants alone, indoors too: it is a good day to plan the beds and to check seeds and stored produce.
A leaf day supports leafy vegetables and herbs, right now especially leeks and Brussels sprouts.
The harvest is coming in: 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.
