Tuesday 2nd September
The Moon shifts from the watery depths of Scorpio into the fiery constellation of Aries, bringing a sense of direction and courage. In the garden, it is a good time to harvest fruits, with apples now especially abundant. Once picked, they can be pressed into fresh juice, enjoyed as it is, or left unpasteurised to begin a natural fermentation into cider. As the process continues, the sugars are slowly eaten away until the cider becomes vinegar, valued both in the kitchen and for its many health benefits. This simple journey of the apple shows how a single harvest can be preserved and transformed to nourish us in different ways through the seasons.
