Saturday 13th December
Today the Moon stands in the earthy constellation of Virgo, bringing a mood of care and attentiveness to the land. In biodynamics, the first frosts are understood not as a hindrance but as a cleansing, structuring force that helps break down the soil and prepare it for the coming year. Steiner describes winter as the great in-breath of the earth, when cosmic forces can work more deeply into the ground, and frost plays an essential part in this inward gesture. With the Moon in Virgo, this organising influence becomes especially perceptible, encouraging quiet tasks such as tidying beds or tending compost. The soil rests with purpose, held by Virgo’s order and strengthened by the forming touch of frost.
