Lunar Guidance
Forgiveness — of yourself and others. This is the great letting go. What habits, thoughts, or relationships are you done carrying? Set them down.
Ritual: Forgiveness Practice
Sit quietly and bring to mind something you've been holding onto — resentment, guilt, a grudge. Say aloud: 'I release this. It no longer serves me.' Repeat until you feel the weight shift.
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: Weed and cultivate
Decreased gravitational pull weakens weed roots. Best days for weeding, tilling, and pest control. Turn compost. Mow lawns to slow growth.
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.
