Wednesday 5th November
On this 5th of November, the full Moon rises in fiery Aries — and, being at perigee, appears larger and brighter than usual: a supermoon. In Britain, this night is marked by bonfires and fireworks in remembrance of Guy Fawkes, who in 1605 attempted to blow up Parliament. Though the flames recall rebellion, they also echo an older rhythm — the lighting of fires as the dark half of the year begins. The supermoon heightens emotion and energy, and we may feel this as restlessness or creative urgency. Yet in the garden, it is best to stay quiet; perigee stirs strong gravitational forces that can disturb the soil and sap flow. Instead, let this night of fire and light mark the turning toward winter — a time to gather inward warmth.
