Friday 17th January
The Moon deepens into Leo, making it an ideal time to tend to fruits, particularly by pruning fruit trees. Each type of fruit tree has its own unique pruning requirements, so for the best results, I recommend consulting a reliable guide or book on pruning. Pruning can feel like sculpting—it blends logical thinking with an eye for aesthetics. With Venus in a 180-degree opposition to the Moon today, it is especially beneficial to focus on pruning fruit trees in the Rosaceae family, such as apples, pears, peaches, apricots, plums, and cherries. These fruits share a special connection to Venus’s journey and may thrive under the influence of this planetary alignment.
