Tuesday 23rd September
Today Mars crosses the Sun’s path, unsettling the growth rhythm, so planting is best avoided. Alongside this, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all stand in retrograde — appearing to move backwards across the stars. In biodynamics this gesture is seen as a turning inward: Saturn draws us to reflect on structure, Uranus on change, Neptune on vision, and Pluto on transformation. We may feel slowed, more reflective, even unsettled, yet this pause invites us to review and realign before moving forward again. In the garden it is a day for harvest, care, and steady tasks rather than new beginnings.
