Saturday 25th April
Today the Moon begins in Cancer, carrying a soft, watery mood that invites care, nourishment, and attentiveness. We may feel drawn to slow down, to work gently, and to notice what needs holding rather than pushing. In the garden, Cancer supports leafy growth, making it a good time to tend salad crops, herbs, brassicas, and other plants valued for their leaf. Watering, transplanting, and quiet tasks of nurture are well met by this influence. Later, the Moon quickly moves into Leo, and with this the mood can shift quite noticeably. What was soft and enclosing may begin to feel warmer, brighter, and more outward moving. We may feel a rise in confidence, direction, or creative fire, as if the day asks a little more of our presence and initiative. In the garden, the emphasis moves from leaf to fruit, making it a favourable time to work with tomatoes, beans, courgettes, peppers, squash, and other fruiting crops. This change from Cancer to Leo can be felt as a movement from care into expression, from tending what is tender into encouraging what wants to ripen, shine, and come into fullness.
