Moon calendar for cutting hair: November 2026
Cutting hair by the Moon is the most familiar rule of the old moon calendars. It distinguishes two aims: strong growth and a cut that lasts a long time.
For strong growth
No day this month by this rule.
When the Moon is waxing in Leo or Virgo, hair is said to grow back strong and full after a cut.
For a cut that lasts
Sun 1 (Leo), Mon 2 (Leo), Tue 3 (Virgo), Wed 4 (Virgo), Thu 5 (Virgo), Sun 29 (Leo), Mon 30 (Leo)
When the Moon is waning in Leo or Virgo, hair is said to grow back more slowly, so the cut keeps its shape for longer.
Better not
Wed 18, Thu 19, Thu 26, Fri 27, Sat 28
When the Moon is in Pisces or Cancer, the old calendars advise against a cut: the hair is then said to be hard to manage.
The Moon's position is computed for every day at noon, Central European Time. The rules are tradition, as the old moon calendars hand them down, not a promise. The whole calendar: moon calendar.
