Wednesday 11th March
The Moon reaches its lowest point on the horizon today, and from here it will begin to ascend over the next two weeks. This marks a shift in the Moon’s influence, moving from forces working below the diaphragm of the Earth in the soil, toward forces that support the development of plants above the ground. From the vantage point of the southern hemisphere these rhythms appear reversed, and the same moment would mark the beginning of a descending Moon, favouring work such as transplanting and soil cultivation. Here in the northern hemisphere, however, we enter an ascending Moon period, when the focus turns toward supporting the life of the plant above the soil, encouraging growth, flowering, and the upward movement of vitality in the garden.
