Tuesday 17th March
The Moon rises in Aquarius, a constellation connected with the flower element, bringing a light and airy quality into the garden and lifting our attention toward the blossoms and the spaces above the soil. This rhythm is briefly interrupted today by a lunar node, the point where the Moon crosses the ecliptic path of the Sun, creating a moment of disturbance in the lunar influence. For this reason, the middle part of the day is considered unfavourable for sensitive gardening activities such as sowing or planting. In biodynamic agriculture we work with the rhythms of the Earth and the wider cosmos, seeking to enhance the quality of our produce while caring for the natural world. By working with these rhythms rather than against them, we support both the nourishment of the soil and the nutritional quality of the food it provides.
