The seed beneath the soil
Pink Moon Month — New Moon (dark sky)
Sky Data
Lunar Guidance
This is the void before creation. Set intentions in the dark — they don't need light yet. Write down what you want to call in. Be still. Listen.
Ritual: Intention Setting
Light a single candle in a dark room. Write your intentions for this cycle on paper. Fold it and place it somewhere you'll see daily. The new moon asks: what are you ready to begin?
Garden Almanac
Plant and tend root vegetables
Earth sign moons favor underground growth. Ideal for transplanting root crops, amending soil, and composting. The energy draws downward.
Phase Action: Plan and prepare
Rest the garden. Plan what to plant. Prepare beds, clean tools, and set intentions for the cycle. A quiet day for the soil.
Avoid: Avoid pruning above-ground growth or harvesting leaves.
Zodiac Season: ♉ Taurus
The builder — grounding spring's energy into form
What was started in Aries now needs roots. Taurus season is the Earth coming alive — blossoms, warmth, sensory abundance. In tradition, this is the season of grounding, building, and appreciating the physical world.
Peak spring — the natural world reaches full bloom. Gene expression studies show immune function shifting as the body responds to increasing light.
The Pink Moon
Named for the wild ground phlox (moss pink), one of the first spring wildflowers. This moon marks the return of fertility to the land. Many traditions begin their new year with the first new moon near the equinox.
