Tuesday 27th August
The Moon rises in the constellation of Taurus, an Earth sign with a particular influence on the roots of plants. This makes it an ideal time to harvest root vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes. Notably, as the Moon moves through Taurus, it does so with relative speed from Earth's perspective and will conjunct with Jupiter. Interestingly, while the Moon spends 2 to 3 days in Taurus, Jupiter spends about a year in Taurus and each of the other 11 signs. This means that it takes approximately 12 years for Jupiter to travel through the entire zodiac, mirroring the Sun's journey through 12 constellations in a year.
