The Moon was once part of the Earth over 4.5 billion years ago, according to the widely accepted giant impact hypothesis, which proposes that a planetary body collided with the early Earth, leading to the Moon’s formation. In an interesting parallel, Rudolf Steiner also spoke a century ago of the Moon once being united with the Earth and later separating, suggesting that its forces now work from beyond the Earth to bring influences of fertility and growth to the living world. We readily accept the Moon’s visible effects on the tides, so might we also remain open to its more subtle influences on nature, plants, and even ourselves? Where humanity once held an instinctive understanding of these rhythms, they now wait to be rediscovered through a renewed and conscious relationship with the living world
