Tuesday 28th January
The moon shifts from the fire sign of Sagittarius to the earth sign of Capricorn, changing the mood of the day. This transition influences the development of plants below the soil and presents an opportunity to plant garlic, depending on your region. We are deep in winter, a time Rudolf Steiner, the founder of biodynamics, described as when “the formative forces of crystallisation reach their full development in the mineral substances” (15th January to 15th February). We must never underestimate the activities occurring beneath our soils—a complex world of substances, biology, and forces that sustains plants, animals, and people alike.
