Today, the Moon descends below the elliptical plane of the Sun's path around the Earth. This phenomenon is known as a lunar node and occurs twice a month. In Biodynamics, such days are considered unfavorable for working in the garden due to this cosmic alignment. With the Moon in the sign of Virgo, it's a good time to get organized at work and home; beekeepers can take advantage of this period to check equipment and prepare spare hives for catching swarms in early spring.
