Saturday 22nd March
Today, the moon transitions from the constellation of Scorpio to the constellation of Sagittarius. As it wanes to a half-moon on its way to the new moon, it also reaches its lowest point on the horizon, from where it will begin its steady ascent over the next two weeks. In biodynamics, an ascending moon is a time when the earth breathes out, drawing forces upward. While this is generally not the most favourable time for sowing and transplanting, it supports activities that encourage growth above the soil, such as pruning to shape plants, grafting, and applying horn silica (501) to enhance light absorption. This period can also be used to observe how plants respond to the shift in energy, refining our sensitivity to the rhythms that shape life in the garden.
