Wednesday 9th July
The Moon rises in the constellation of Scorpio before quickly transitioning into Sagittarius. This shift coincides with the Moon reaching its lowest point on the horizon, from which it will begin ascending over the next two weeks—each day climbing to a higher zenith in the sky, as seen from Earth in relation to the fixed stars. This ascending phase is an ideal window for harvesting the bounty of the garden. With the Moon in Sagittarius, it is an especially opportune time to harvest fruits and fruiting crops. Sagittarius brings an expansive, adventurous mood—lifting our spirits and encouraging optimism, exploration, and outward movement both in the garden and in ourselves.
