Today, the moon transitions from the constellation of Aries to Taurus, shifting from the influences of a fire sign to those of an earth sign. On a clear night, in a place with minimal light pollution, we can witness the moon as it journeys through the fixed stars of the zodiac. This lunar passage is known as the sidereal rhythm, a significant observation for biodynamic agriculture. Easier to discern is the synodic rhythm of the moon, which also holds implications for agriculture and nature. This rhythm governs the phases of the moon; today marks the new moon, signifying a favorable time for new beginnings.
