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: Prune and harvest
Energy moves downward into roots. Good for pruning, harvesting root crops, and preserving. Plant perennials and bulbs. Reduce watering.
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 Flower Moon
Flowers bloom abundantly across most of the Northern Hemisphere. This is Buddha Purnima in the Hindu tradition, celebrating the birth of Siddhartha Gautama. A moon of abundance, beauty, and sensory pleasure.
