Good days for a haircut
By the old rule, hair grows back fuller when it is cut under a waxing moon in Leo or Virgo, and not in Pisces or Cancer.
None this month by the classic rule.
Gardening by the Moon
The biodynamic tradition links each day to the element of the Moon's sign:
- Root day (1, 2, 10, 11, 18, 19, 20, 27, 28, 29): sow and harvest carrots, potatoes, onions and radishes.
- Leaf day (5, 6, 7, 14, 15, 23, 24): sow lettuce, cabbage, spinach and herbs; good for watering and the lawn.
- Flower day (3, 4, 12, 13, 21, 22, 30, 31): sow and plant flowers, cut flowers.
- Fruit day (8, 9, 16, 17, 25, 26): sow, tend and harvest fruit, tomatoes, beans and squash.
A rising Moon is said to favour sowing and harvesting what grows above ground; a falling Moon, planting, transplanting and pruning.
The Moon's position and phases are computed; the gardening and haircut rules are tradition, handed down by old moon calendars, not a promise.
