ScorpioThe phase of the Moon on February 11, 2023 was a Waning Gibbous.
The Waning Gibbous follows the Full Moon's peak. The intensity has passed, and what's left is processing what it meant. Share what you've learned or thank the people who helped along the way, and hold on to the insight rather than the tension that came with it.
Scorpio guards its process, and the Waning Gibbous is willing to share only the parts of the story that deserve to be heard. Choose one person who has earned the truth and give them the real version, not the polished one. What you reveal now should matter, not just fill silence.
Today’s recommendations for haircuts, gardening, and surgery are on the Moon Phase Today page.
The cycle has turned and regrowth slows from here. A maintenance trim will hold your current shape without the length racing back at you, which is what most people want out of these days. It's also the stretch people choose on purpose when they want less regrowth, for leg waxing or a beard line. A bigger cut isn't ruled out, but the new shape takes longer to fill in, so go a little less short than you think you want.
Scorpio is the third water sign, and here the lunar calendars disagree with each other. The common reading is that regrowth comes back thick but unruly, so it suits a shave or a very short cut better than a shaped style. Chemical treatments are traditionally avoided on these days.

The light drops and, by the logic of lunar calendars, the plant's effort follows it underground. Root crops go back on the list, and so do perennials. This is the best window in the month for moving things, because a plant that isn't pushing top growth can spend what it has on repairing roots instead. Water deeply after any move, more than feels necessary. Give whatever you've just settled a slow-release feed to find over the next fortnight.
Scorpio is a leaf day with the least trouble attached. It reads as wet without being as soft as Cancer, so leafy crops sown here are said to hold up better afterwards. Good for watering, for the salad bed, and for cuttings that still need to root.

Once the light starts dropping, the tradition reads healing as slowing with it. This isn't a phase the almanacs argue against, just one they rate as modest: fine for minor or non-urgent work, less favored when a quick recovery matters. Follow-up appointments and post-operative checks sit comfortably here. If you're choosing between this week and next for something small, the calendar has no strong opinion either way, which is itself useful to know when you're weighing one week against another.
Scorpio governs the reproductive organs and the bladder. It's the entry the old almanacs treat most seriously and the one repeated most often in later folk calendars. The advice covers elective work in that region and is silent about everything else.
* Lunar timing is folk tradition, not medical advice. No research supports scheduling surgery by moon phase. Always follow your surgeon's recommendation on when to operate.
