Lunar Guidance
Your intentions are germinating. Take the first small action. This isn't the time for grand gestures — it's the time for the quiet first step that makes everything else possible.

Choose one intention from the new moon and take a single concrete action toward it today. Even the smallest step counts. Water the seed.
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: Sow seeds above ground
Rising energy favors germination. Plant leafy annuals, herbs, and grains. Sap is beginning to rise — new growth is supported.
Avoid: Avoid heavy watering — air signs prefer lighter moisture.

The transition to summer's longest days. Research shows attention and cognitive flexibility peak as we approach the summer solstice.
