Monday 29th September
The Moon moves swiftly from watery Scorpio into fiery Sagittarius, carrying us from depth and intensity into openness and expansion. It is the First Quarter, the half-moon, a moment of balance between light and dark when growth begins to push outward with more strength. At the same time the Moon reaches its lowest point on the horizon; from here it begins its two-week ascent, lifting its forces higher each day. In biodynamics this marks the start of the ascending period, when the Moon’s gesture turns upward into stems, leaves, and fruit. It is a time to look above the soil, sowing and tending crops that reach for the light, while sensing in ourselves a rising rhythm that opens toward the wider world.
