Work with the energetic forces corresponding to your intended outcome.
For Example: If you are growing carrots to eat, sow and tend them on root days. If you are growing carrots for seed, sow and tend them on fruit/seed days.
Descending Moon
When the moon is descending, plants take root more easily and establish a better connection with the surrounding soil. This is an ideal time for transplanting.
Ascending Moon
When the moon is ascending, climbing higher in the sky, it draws plant sap into the aerial parts of the plant. This is a good time to take cuttings for propagation.
Lunar nodes ☊ ☋
Ascending and descending lunar nodes have a negative effect on plant growth and are unfavorable for gardening.
Eclipses 🝵
Eclipses have a disruptive energetic influence making them unfavorable for gardening.
Lunar Apogee
Apogee occurs when the moon is farthest from the earth. The lunar apogee stimulates flowering and fruiting and is also a good time to harvest food for winter storage as there is less moisture in the plant.
Lunar Perigee
Perigee occurs when the moon is closest to the earth in its cycle. It is unfavorable to garden around the Perigee.
Conjunctions ☌
Occur when two planets occupy the same degree along the ecliptic and has a disruptive effect on plants. Sowing during a conjunction is harmful to plant growth and will damage a plant’s ability to reproduce.
Oppositions ☍
Occur when celestial bodies are 180° apart. Positively stimulate seeds sown at that moment.
Trines △
Occur when celestial bodies are 120° apart. Trine energetics can override the lunar constellation influence when the trine planets are in the same element constellation.
Morning
In the morning, the Earth exhales, which is why we see dew on the grass and plants.
Evening
In the evening, the Earth inhales, making it an ideal time to apply BD 500 and other soil-nourishing perparations.
