LibraThe phase of the Moon on December 13, 2025 was a Last Quarter.
The Last Quarter is for closing loops before the next cycle starts. Whatever hasn't worked over the past two weeks doesn't need forcing any further. Tie off what's finished and clear space instead of starting anything new.
The Last Quarter in Libra pushes you to make the call you've been putting off. Libra dreads choosing sides, but a relationship or negotiation stuck in limbo needs a decision now, not more deliberation. Pick an answer and let the rest go.
Today’s recommendations for haircuts, gardening, and surgery are on the Moon Phase Today page.
Length is the wrong goal today. Regrowth runs at its slowest through the second half of the cycle, and most lunar calendars steer bigger cuts away from these days. Spend the time on the things that don't involve scissors: a deep conditioning treatment, or a wash that clears out product buildup. Taking damaged ends off is still worth doing, and arguably better timed here than in a waxing phase, because what you remove stays gone for longer.
Looks are what Libra gets chosen for. A cut made now is said to hold its shape and shine, which is why the sign turns up in advice about weddings and anything else you'll be photographed at. The regrowth itself is unremarkable.

Nothing new goes in the ground. The old reading is that the soil is at its emptiest now and won't carry new growth, so the month's maintenance gets done instead: weeding, mulching, cutting out dead or diseased wood. Pruning is well timed here, since a cut made while the plant is quiet bleeds less and heals cleaner than the same cut in a waxing phase. Leave the beds tidy and they're ready to sow the moment the next cycle starts.
Libra is a flower day, usually the one recommended for flowers you intend to keep: cutting, drying, arranging. Ornamentals sown now are said to come on strongly, while anything grown for its root or its fruit gets a better day elsewhere in the month. Leave the vegetable beds alone.
Gardening Moon Calendar
The almanacs mark this stretch down. Healing capacity is read as dropping off and the cycle as favoring rest, so the old advice is that an operation which can wait should wait for a waxing phase. Note the condition in that sentence. It applies to elective procedures with a movable date and to nothing else, because an operation scheduled for medical reasons should happen when your surgeon scheduled it. Small work that can't be postponed isn't something the tradition objects to either.
Libra takes the kidneys and the lower back. Almanacs advise against operating there while the moon passes through, which in practice touches a narrow set of procedures. For everything else the sign is neutral and the phase is what the tradition would have you look at.
* 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.
