Thursday 15th May
The moon rises in the constellation of Scorpio, deepening into it for a third day before transitioning into Sagittarius. In doing so, we move from the element of water to that of fire, bringing a subtle shift in influence both to us and our gardens. Today also marks the moon’s lowest point on the horizon in its sidereal rhythm, from which it will now begin to ascend. In biodynamic gardening, the next two weeks are considered less favourable for transplanting vegetables, as the moon’s forces are less concentrated on root development during this ascending phase. This period encourages focus on tasks that involve above-ground growth, such as pruning, harvesting, and weeding, aligning with the moon's rising influence.
