What the ratings mean

excellent A cut for growth and shine. Tradition says this is a powerful day for haircuts that support healthy growth and a refreshed look. You can treat a visit to the hairdresser as a small ritual of renewal, aligning outer change with inner intention.

good Favorable for a tidy refresh. Signs point to a smooth, uncomplicated haircut day, good for maintenance and small style updates. It’s a practical moment to neaten your look without expecting dramatic symbolic shifts.

neutral Do it if you must. Lunar tradition treats this timing as neither lucky nor unlucky for haircuts. If you simply need a trim, go ahead, but there is no special emphasis on growth, beauty, or symbolism today.

avoid Better to postpone the cut. Old lunar notes suggest this is not the most harmonious time for changing your hair. If you can, delay major cuts or drastic experiments so you don’t tie your new look to a restless or unstable moment.

How it is calculated

Each rating follows lunar tradition applied to the real position of the Moon on that day. A waxing Moon is said to speed up regrowth, a waning Moon to keep a cut in shape longer. The Moon in Leo, Virgo, Taurus and Libra is traditionally the best for hair. Lunar days 9, 15, 23, 29 and 30 are traditionally days to avoid a haircut. This is folklore, not medical advice.
