Friday 4th July
The moon is now at apogee—its furthest point from the Earth. This can create a sense of distance or lightness in the usual garden rhythms. By the afternoon, an impulse of light, sparked by the apogee, begins to override Virgo’s grounding influence—both in the garden and in ourselves. It’s a subtle but meaningful shift, making it a good time to tend to flowering herbs and ornamental plants. Cut flowers for drying, or gather petals for teas and tinctures.
