The Moon day by day

Garden: "plant" — favourable for sowing, "okay" — neutral, "tend" — no sowing, weeding and harvesting only, "rest" — new or full moon. ↑ waxing Moon — above-ground crops, ↓ waning — root crops and bulbs.

Haircut: "yes" — favourable, "okay" — neutral, "no" — better to postpone. On a waxing Moon hair grows faster; on a waning Moon a cut keeps its shape longer.

What is a void-of-course Moon

It is the time between the Moon's last exact aspect to the planets and its entry into the next sign. Things started then often don't unfold as planned, so important launches are better moved.

Good for: routine, rest, finishing current tasks, reflection. Better to avoid: signing contracts, starting important things, big purchases, job interviews.
