Moon calendar for cutting nails: October 2026
The old moon calendar knows good days for fingernails and toenails too. They depend mainly on the sign the Moon is in.
Good days
Sat 17, Sun 18
When the Moon is in Capricorn, nails are said to stay firm and healthy after cutting. In the tradition, Capricorn stands for everything that gives the body support.
Better not
Thu 1, Fri 2, Thu 22, Fri 23, Wed 28, Thu 29
When the Moon is in Pisces or Gemini, tradition advises against it: the nails are then said to tear easily.
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.
