Spring growth, by the book
Try this today
- Book your growth trim on Saturday, March 20 or Sunday, March 21, while the waxing Moon is in Virgo.
- If you want more body, take Thursday, March 18 or Friday the 19th, the Leo days.
- Keeping it short? March 29 to 31, the waning Capricorn days, are the best fallback.
If you only follow the Moon calendar once this year, March is a good month to try it. The Moon enters Leo on Thursday, March 18, already about four-fifths lit and still growing. It stays in Leo through Friday the 19th, then moves into Virgo for Saturday, March 20 and Sunday, March 21.
All four days are waxing days in a hair sign, which is exactly what the growth rule asks for. The weekend pair is the real prize: Saturday and Sunday growth days are uncommon, and this is the first time both fall on a weekend in this calendar.
The Virgo days sit close to the full Moon, which lands the next day, March 22, in Libra. Leo is the sign the Moon-calendar books tie to body and thickness; Virgo to shape and structure. If you are growing out layers, the tradition would say Leo for a dusting of the ends, Virgo if you want the shape refined at the same time.
March has no waning hair days at all. If you want a short cut to last, the waning Moon in Capricorn on March 29 to 31 is the neutral fallback: an earth sign, outside the water signs, with the Moon shrinking.
The Moon this month
A Pisces new Moon and a Libra full Moon
The new Moon falls on March 8 at 17° Pisces. The Moon is in Pisces on March 7 and 8, so the cycle starts on two skip days. After that the Moon moves into Aries from March 9 to 11, the first treatment days of spring.
The full Moon arrives on March 22 at 1° Libra. The Farmers' Almanac calls March's full Moon the Worm Moon. Libra is an air sign, and the Moon stays there from March 22 to 24. The tradition's best colour days are waxing Gemini and Aquarius days, which here means March 14 and 15 in Gemini. Libra on the 22nd counts as a fair colour day.
The other skip days are Cancer on March 16 and 17, and Scorpio on March 25 and 26.
