Why 80 points on Tuesday 11 August?
The MoonScore aggregates traditional lunar-calendar rules (Paungger/Poppe, folk tradition, Maria Thun). It does not represent any scientifically established effect.
* Traditions disagree on this rule — it counts at half weight.
When is the next good day for hair cutting?
Tuesday 11 August — Very favorable (80/100).
Why is the Leo moon considered the best day for a haircut?
According to Paungger/Poppe, Leo days strengthen the hair — in this tradition the lion’s mane stands for full, strong hair. Virgo days are also considered favourable, while Pisces and Cancer days are traditionally avoided.
Should I cut my hair during a waxing or waning moon?
It depends on your goal: the waxing moon is said to favour strong hair and fast growth (according to Paungger/Poppe), while the waning moon is chosen when you want the style to last longer.
Is a full moon a good day for a haircut?
The traditions disagree on this one: parts of folk tradition consider the full moon favourable for strong hair, while other accounts give it no special effect. We therefore weight this disputed rule only lightly.
