The moon is the only celestial body that constantly accompanies the earth, because it orbits it and is thus omnipresent and can be perceived by us in many different forms.

A lunar calendar is created by first examining the journey through the zodiac signs and in which phase of the moon, i.e. new moon, waxing moon, full moon, waning moon, it is located.

This has an influence on the most diverse areas that affect people and nature. This means that the quality of the influence on us and our environment is determined by the sign of the zodiac and the phase of the moon, which determines whether this quality is favoured or inhibited.

The areas that come to the fore through a lunar calendar are as follows.

Skin, hair, nails

The lunar calendar tells us when it is good to cut and style hair, or to have manicures and beauty treatments. It also tells us when it is best to cut nails or use skin care products. If you do this at an inopportune time, their effectiveness is weaker, hair grows back faster, does not stay in shape, gets greasy faster, or nails grow back again much faster, etc. This means that these activities can certainly be carried out on days other than the favourable ones, but their effectiveness will diminish or be inhibited.

Body and bones

Here one finds the days listed in the lunar calendar on which it is advisable to perform an operation, begin cures, or undertake purification and diets. On unfavourable days, this can mean that wounds heal worse and the body's self-healing processes do not get going.

Plants and garden: the lunar calendar advises when plants should be watered, planted, fertilised, pruned, propagated or repotted in order to accelerate and optimise growth. On the other hand, the lunar calendar advises against times when these activities could cause damage or hinder growth.

This is useful knowledge for houseplants as well as for carrying out upcoming gardening tasks, such as pest control, mowing the lawn or building a compost heap.

Even the quality of wood depends on the right timing of tree felling and recycling.

Home and housework

There are favourable days for certain household chores, such as cleaning windows, washing laundry and airing the house, which are listed in the lunar calendar. You can also find tips on when to preserve or freeze fruit and vegetables.
