Main phases this month

The Moon day by day

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.

Beauty and care by Moon phase

  • New moon

    Skin is more sensitive than usual — gentle care and cleansing. Postpone haircuts, colouring and new treatments for a couple of days.

  • Waxing crescent

    A haircut boosts growth. Good for nourishing masks, moisturising and repair; a good time to start a new routine.

  • First quarter

    Haircut for growth and thickness, colouring, restorative treatments. A good time to try a new look.

  • Waxing gibbous

    Good for haircuts, colouring and care that 'adds': nourishment, moisture, volume.

  • Full moon

    Not the best day for injections, deep cleansing, epilation or piercing: skin and blood vessels are especially active. Light care and masks are fine.

  • Waning gibbous

    A haircut keeps its shape longer, hair grows back slower. Good for hair removal, cleansing, peels and detox care.

  • Last quarter

    Good for epilation, brow shaping, cleansing treatments and a haircut meant to keep its shape.

  • Waning crescent

    A rest period for the skin: recovery, gentle cleansing, sleep. Save bold experiments for the waxing Moon.

Haircuts and treatments by the Moon's sign

  • Moon in Aries Haircut: no

    Head and face are sensitive: postpone haircuts and facial treatments. Body care and manicures are fine.

  • Moon in Taurus Haircut: yes

    Good for haircuts and colouring — hair is stronger and easier to style. Good for facial skincare.

  • Moon in Gemini Haircut: okay

    Haircut is neutral: light refreshing changes. Good for hand care and manicures.

  • Moon in Cancer Haircut: no

    Postpone haircuts — hair tends to be unruly. Nourishing and moisturising care and masks are good.

  • Moon in Leo Haircut: yes

    A great day for haircuts and colouring: volume, shine, a bold look. Time for daring experiments with your appearance.

  • Moon in Virgo Haircut: yes

    Good for haircuts and styling, manicures, precise treatments and brow shaping.

  • Moon in Libra Haircut: yes

    The sign of beauty: haircut, colouring, make-up, a new look — all favoured.

  • Moon in Scorpio Haircut: okay

    A haircut strengthens the roots; good for bold colouring, cleansing and hair removal.

  • Moon in Sagittarius Haircut: okay

    Haircut is neutral. Good for body care, spa and massage.

  • Moon in Capricorn Haircut: yes

    A haircut keeps its shape long, hair is stronger. Good for firming skincare.

  • Moon in Aquarius Haircut: no

    Experiments with your looks may turn out unexpectedly — better to postpone haircuts and colouring.

  • Moon in Pisces Haircut: no

    Postpone haircuts. Relaxing care, baths and masks are good; better to reschedule a pedicure.

During void-of-course hours: don't start experiments with your looks: a new haircut or treatment may disappoint.

These are traditional lunar-calendar rules — for inspiration and planning. Weather, good gardening practice and your skin's condition matter more; cosmetic and medical procedures should follow a specialist's advice.
