Sunday 5th October
The Moon deepens into Aquarius before crossing the zodiac threshold into the constellation of Pisces. Though Aquarius is called the Water Bearer, it belongs to the element of Air — the water he pours is a symbol of knowledge and inspiration flowing into the world. This morning, however, the Moon also passes through a lunar node, a moment considered unfavourable for sowing or planting in biodynamics, as cosmic forces are in disturbance. As the Moon moves on into Pisces, a true Water sign symbolised by two fish swimming in opposite directions, the mood shifts. From the afternoon onwards, this becomes a favourable time to harvest leafy greens and to tend to plants such as kale, chard, salads, chicory, and herbs in your garden.
