Monday 18th May
The Moon deepens into Taurus today as it reaches its highest point in its sidereal rhythm, meaning its position against the fixed stars. For the past two weeks, the Moon has been setting higher each day, but from now on it will begin settling lower again in relation to the fixed stars. In biodynamics, this descending rhythm makes the next two weeks especially favourable for transplanting, arriving at a crucial and busy time in the growing season. Let us use this opportunity to transplant our young plants into the garden. With the Moon still in Taurus, there is a strong earthy quality to the day, making it especially supportive for root vegetables. Taurus relates to the root part of the plant, so today is a particularly good time to transplant crops that need strong, healthy root development.
