Thursday 4th September
The Moon rises in the constellation of Aries, supporting the fruiting aspect of plants, before moving into Capricorn in the afternoon, which favours the root forces. Every two to three days the Moon crosses the threshold into a new zodiac constellation, completing its journey through all twelve signs each month. In biodynamic agriculture, each constellation corresponds to one of the four elements—earth, water, air, and fire—each in turn nurturing a different part of the plant: roots, leaves, flowers, or fruits. By attuning our work to this rhythm, we are able to support the plant in harmony with the wider cosmic cycle.
