Monday 17th February
The moon deepens its descent into the constellation of Virgo, sharpening our attention to detail and enhancing our capacity for focus. In the garden, this is an ideal time to tend to carrots and potatoes, as well as to plant shallots and onions—root vegetables that benefit from the moon’s position in Virgo. However, by the afternoon, the timing shifts in favour of flower care. As the moon reaches apogee, its farthest point from the Earth, the intensified light makes this a particularly good moment for pruning roses and perhaps propagating some cuttings.
