Thursday 8th August
Today, the moon reaches its furthest point from Earth, known as apogee. This increased distance enhances the intensity of light, as the smaller moon reflects the sun’s rays more vividly onto our planet. Consequently, there is a brief period during the day when the earthy qualities of Virgo are overshadowed by these intensified light forces. This makes it an excellent time to tend to flowers, especially midway through the day. It’s a perfect moment to prune roses after they’ve finished blooming and to pick and dry flowers for herbal tea infusions, such as calendula, rose, chamomile, and golden poppies.
