The moon continues to wane, creating a beautiful crescent moon in the night sky. Today, the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit, known as perigee. In biodynamics, this is considered an unfavorable time for gardening, as the moon's influence is too strong. Ancient cultures were known for their strong relationship with the moon, and great efforts were made by astronomers to record and understand its rhythms. Perigee would have been significant to them as a time when the moon passes closest, greeting the Earth and enhancing intuition.
