Lunar Gardening 2008
The Moon's magnetic force pulls all that contains water: the tides of our oceans,
the blood and fluids of our bodies, and all plant life--it lets you know when to sow,
when to gather, and when to weed.
By learning to flow with the rhythm of the Goddess we are ensuring the best crops,
herbs and flowers and this in turn will resonate within us to create a connection
with Mother Earth such as we have never known before,
and will enrich us spiritually, emotionally, physically and mentally.
The Moon travels through each one of the Zodiac signs about once a month,
she stays in one sign about 2 1/2 days before moving on to the next one.
It's never wise to plant on the day of the New Moon or Full Moon.
If you want your lawn to grow fast, cut it during new or first quarter moon.
If you want it to grow more slowly, cut it during a full or last quarter moon.
