Sunday 15th March
With the Moon moving through Capricorn, the day carries the steady, grounding quality of a root influence. This is a good time to tend root crops and give attention to the deeper foundations of the garden. Compost work is especially suited to this earthy rhythm, inviting us to check the balance of the four elements within the pile. Water asks whether the heap is too wet or too dry, while air reminds us to notice if the compost is breathing well or slipping into an anaerobic state. Fire lives in the warmth of decomposition, prompting us to consider whether the materials have broken down fully or whether turning the heap might reawaken the process. Earth completes the picture, encouraging a good mix of materials so that the compost matures into rich, living soil.
