Lunar Guidance
Everything is visible now — the beautiful and the uncomfortable. Celebrate what's working. Release what isn't. The full moon reveals truth. Let it.

Gather with others or sit alone under the moon. Acknowledge what you've built this cycle. Then write down what you're ready to release — and burn the paper. Let the smoke carry it.
Garden Almanac
Plant fruit trees, harvest seeds, and tend fruiting crops
Fire sign moons favor fruit and seed production. Ideal for harvesting ripe fruit, saving seeds, and cultivating warmth-loving crops. The energy rises upward.
Phase Action: Harvest and celebrate
Peak moisture in plants. Harvest fruits, vegetables, and herbs for immediate use. Root crops harvested now will have the most flavor. Prune to encourage growth.
Avoid: Avoid transplanting — fire signs can stress tender roots.
Zodiac Season: ♌ Leo

High summer — the Sun at its most powerful. Leo season is the fullest expression of warmth, vitality, and creative self-expression. In nature, fruits ripen. In tradition, this is the time to shine, celebrate, and share generously.

The Buck Moon
Male deer begin growing their new antlers in velvet. The Anishinaabe gathered wild raspberries. In the Celtic tradition, this was a time for asserting rights to land and harvest — a moon of sovereignty.
