The seed beneath the soil
Hunter's Moon Month — New Moon (dark sky)
Sky Data
Lunar Guidance
This is the void before creation. Set intentions in the dark — they don't need light yet. Write down what you want to call in. Be still. Listen.
Ritual: Intention Setting
Light a single candle in a dark room. Write your intentions for this cycle on paper. Fold it and place it somewhere you'll see daily. The new moon asks: what are you ready to begin?
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: Plan and prepare
Rest the garden. Plan what to plant. Prepare beds, clean tools, and set intentions for the cycle. A quiet day for the soil.
Avoid: Avoid harvesting herbs for drying — moisture content is too high.
Zodiac Season: ♏ Scorpio
The transformer — descent into depth as darkness deepens
Darkness deepens. Scorpio season is the descent — leaves fall, the natural world composts, and what's hidden comes to the surface. In tradition, this is the season of transformation, intensity, and confronting what lies beneath.
Deepening autumn — the biological world enters decomposition and dormancy. Melatonin production rises as nights lengthen, shifting the body toward introspection.
The Hunter's Moon
With fields cleared after harvest, hunters could easily spot deer and foxes fattening for winter. The Cree watched leaves fall and began storing food. Ashwin Purnima marks Sharad Purnima, celebrating the moon's cooling autumn light.
