Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

The biodynamic planting calendar assigns every day to a part of the plant. The deciding factor is the constellation in front of which the moon stands. Gemini, Libra and Aquarius belong to the element Light and bring the flower day. The system goes back to Maria Thun.

The moon passes through the twelve constellations once in a good 27 days. In each round the flower day comes up three times, about nine days apart. Before it comes the root day, after it the leaf day.

What to do on a flower day

On a flower day you sow and plant what is grown for its flowers: flowers, plus broccoli and artichokes, because their buds are eaten.

Roses and other flowering shrubs are pruned on a flower day in the descending moon; flowering pot plants such as orchids are repotted on a flower day. Grafting is done in the ascending moon on a flower day. Flowers for tea are picked on flower days.

How long a flower day lasts

The constellations differ in width across the sky, so the periods differ in length. The year has fewer flower days than root days, because Virgo, one of the widest constellations, belongs to the root day. The constellation rarely changes at midnight. The list above gives start and end to the minute.

Hours to avoid

Lunar nodes, perigee, planetary nodes, the occultation of a planet by the moon and eclipses count as unfavourable in the biodynamic calendar, whatever the day type. Which hours these are on a given day is shown in the calendar’s month view.
