AriesThe phase of the Moon on September 09, 2025 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.
The Waning Gibbous in Aries is a moment to pass on what you learned while you were busy pushing forward. Aries would rather show than explain, so let your results speak instead of walking someone through every step. Say what worked in a few blunt words and move on to the next thing.
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.
Aries rules the head in the old almanacs. Regrowth is quick but comes back on the wiry side, and sensitive scalps flare up more easily than usual, which is why these days get handled carefully. A short trim is fine. Save bleach or a perm for another sign.

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.
Fire signs make fruit days in the biodynamic calendar, and Aries is the one usually given over to seed. Sow whatever you're growing for the seed itself, and bring in fruit you mean to keep, which is said to store better cut on these days.

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.
In the Zodiac Man diagram, Aries governs the head, the face and the eyes. The old rule follows straight from that: while the moon sits here, the almanacs steer elective work above the neck to another week and leave the rest of the body alone.
* 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.
