Garden Almanac
Tend flowers, harvest blooms, and seed ornamentals
Air sign moons favor flowering plants and pollination. Good days for cutting flowers, deadheading, and applying natural pest deterrents.
Phase Action: Prune and harvest
Energy moves downward into roots. Good for pruning, harvesting root crops, and preserving. Plant perennials and bulbs. Reduce watering.
Avoid: Avoid heavy watering — air signs prefer lighter moisture.
Zodiac Season: ♒ Aquarius
The visionary — innovative thinking as light slowly returns
Mid-winter — the cold persists but the light is noticeably returning. Aquarius season carries a detached, visionary energy. In tradition, this is the time for innovative thinking, collective vision, and questioning the status quo.
Deep winter with returning light. The gradual photoperiod increase begins triggering hormonal shifts — the body starts its slow transition toward spring.
The Snow Moon
The heaviest snowfalls of the year give this moon its name. Bears stir in their dens, dreaming of spring. The Algonquin called it a time when hunting was most difficult, urging careful rationing of stores.
