Well, in the absence of Dusty (anyone heard from her?) I have a calendar that has a lot of moon info, so here it is for January. I'll try to get February's info in later in the week if y'all like this and want me to. I'd much rather someone who has experience would do this, but here is what I have:
NOTE: when the moon is VOC (void of course) it means it's between signs. It can last from seconds to hours and you shouldn't start anything during this period, gardening or otherwise. It's good for finishing up things you've meant to finish (hem that dress, put away the tools from the last project, etc.) Same advice when Mercury is in retrograde.
At the bottom of this there are notes on what you should do during each sign, but factor in whether the moon is waxing or waning! As in, Libra is good for planting, but not when the moon is waning. Waxing: build (plant, etc.). Waning: destroy (cultivate, weed). I just went back through and put "xxx" when the moon is waxing.
Times are CST for my convenience.
The moon is currently waning.
1/3 -- moon goes void of course from 6:32 p.m. until...
1/4 -- ...8:14am, moon enters Sagittarius.
1/6 -- VOC 6:28pm - 7:44pm, then enters Capricorn.
xxx1/8 -- NEW MOON 5:38 am, but VOC from that time until 5:14 am on Wednesday, so just enjoy instead of doing.
xxx1/9 -- moon enters Aquarius 5:14 am.
xxx1/11 -- VOC11:53am - 12:45 pm, then enters Pisces.
xxx1/13 -- VOC 5:42pm - 6:24pm; then enters Aries.
xxx1/15 -- VOC 9:40pm - 10:14pm; into Taurus.
xxx1/17 -- VOC 8:06pm - 12:31am, into Gemini.
xxx1/20 -- VOC 1:47am - 2:46am, into Cancer.
xxx1/21 -- VOC 4:47am until...
1/22 -- ...4:21 am, into Leo. Moon goes full at 7:38am. Putter with other things.
1/24 -- VOC 8:44am - 8:49am (just have your coffee during this period...), into Virgo.
1/26 -- VOC 5:33am - 4:36pm (losing most of your Saturday), into Libra.
1/27 -- Mercury is in retrograde until February 18 and you're working "against the tide" as it were, so maintenance is preferable to actually starting any projects during this period.
1/28 -- VOC 3:49pm until...
1/29 -- ... 3:36am, then into Scorpio.
1/31 -- VOC 2:36 am - 4:09 pm, into Sagittarius.
GARDENING STUFF:
Aries: harvest roots, fruit. Cultivate, destroy.
Taurus: plant, transplant.
Gemini: as Aries. Plant melon seeds.
Cancer: BEST for planting and transplanting. Graft, irrigate.
Leo: as Aries.
Virgo: Cultivate, destroy weeds and pests.
Libra: Plant flowers, vines, herbs. Cuttings.
Scorpio: Transplant sturdy plants and vines.
Sagittarius: harvest roots. Plant onions and fruit trees. Cultivate.
Capricorn: plant potatoes, roots. Prune to grow. Graft. Fertilize.
Aquarius: as Aries, but good for onions.
Pisces: plant, transplant. Good for root growth and irrigation. |
