In this 2025 lunar calendar you can consult When is the Moon full and how do the lunar phases evolve? in the southern hemisphere throughout the year, the eclipses of the year, meteor showers and other astronomical events, but also what are the best days of each month to schedule a haircut or waxing depending on the position of the Moon in the sky.
Both the lunar phases and the dates to get a haircut or wax are valid for Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay and southern Colombia, as well as for other non-Spanish-speaking countries in the southern hemisphere.
The phases of the Moon coincide in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere, once the dates have been adjusted according to the time zone. That is, whenever there is a full moon or new moon in one hemisphere, the same thing happens in the other hemisphere. Now, except in these two lunar phases, the appearance of the moon changessince the Moon waxes or wanes on opposite sides. In the southern hemisphere, the Moon in its waxing phase draws a «C», while when it wanes it draws a «D». In the northern hemisphere it is reversed.
What does not coincide between the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere are haircut and waxing datessince these depend not only on the lunar phase, but also, to a large extent, on the orbit of the Moon, that is, whether it is ascending or descending. AND, When the Moon rises in one hemisphere, it falls in the other.
In biodynamic agriculture, whose criteria serve to establish the best times to cut hair or wax, these astronomical data allow us to establish the so-called leaf periods, root periods or flower periodswhich are considered the most conducive to cutting one’s hair so that it grows quickly or strongly and to shaving.
As these periods occur when the moon’s orbit is descending, and taking into account the height of the Moon as it passes in front of different constellations, they will never coincide with those of the northern hemisphere. Also other celestial factors are taken into accountwhich can make an initially auspicious day become unfavorable, such as planetary conjunctions or eclipses.
