Wednesday 1st October
This morning the Moon is in Sagittarius, a sign that favours the tending of fruiting plants. By afternoon it moves into Capricorn, drawing the forces down towards the roots. In biodynamic understanding, the plant is like an upside-down human being: the root corresponds to our head and nerve-sense system, hidden in the soil, attuned to the mineral world; the leaves and stems breathe with the air, mirroring our rhythmic and organ systems; while the flowers and fruits express the metabolic and reproductive sphere. As the Moon shifts from fire to earth, we can sense this polarity — from the expansiveness of fruit to the quiet grounding of roots.
