TaurusThe phase of the Moon on September 12, 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.
Taurus trusts what it can touch and repeat, and the Waning Gibbous asks you to hand down what actually held up under pressure. Share the routine or method that proved solid rather than the theory behind it. Stay patient with anyone slower to catch on than you were.
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.
Under Taurus the regrowth comes in slow and dense. That suits a short cut which has to hold its shape between appointments, and it's the traditional advice for hair that goes limp a week after the salon. Length is not what these days give you.

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.
Taurus is a root day, and the steadiest of the three. Carrots and beets go in now, along with anything else that matters below the soil line. Earth days are also read as the ones that settle a plant fastest, so this is a good afternoon for transplanting.

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.
Taurus takes the neck and the throat, which puts thyroid and tonsil work on the list the tradition wants moved. Nothing else is affected by the rule. A Taurus day is only awkward if the operation happens to fall in the wrong place.
* 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.
