Garden Almanac
Water, transplant, and tend leafy greens
Water sign moons are the most fertile planting days. Excellent for watering, irrigating, and transplanting seedlings. Moisture is absorbed more readily.
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 harvesting herbs for drying — moisture content is too high.
Zodiac Season: ♋ Cancer
The nurturer — peak light turning attention to emotional depths
The summer solstice marks the beginning of Cancer season — the longest day, after which light slowly retreats. Ruled by the Moon, this season turns attention inward: home, family, emotional nourishment. Peak light with deepening feeling.
Begins at the summer solstice — the year's peak light. The Moon's rulership here connects lunar and seasonal rhythms most directly.
The Strawberry Moon
The short harvest season for wild strawberries gives this moon its name across multiple traditions. Often the lowest full moon of the year, it hangs amber near the horizon — sometimes called the Honey Moon, the origin of 'honeymoon.'
