Friday 20th February
The Moon deepens into the constellation of Pisces, bringing water forces down to Earth and making it a good time to tend to leafy greens. The Moon joins the outer planets Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, and soon Mercury and Venus will also enter this watery realm. Venus takes 225 days to orbit the Sun. From our perspective on Earth, we see Venus trace a rose-like pattern over eight years, completing thirteen orbits in that time. This is known as the Venus waltz. The very same pattern can be glimpsed when cutting an apple horizontally through its middle, revealing the five seed pods within — a quiet mirror of the cosmos held in the fruit.
