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.

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: 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 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.
