What it means for sowing and planting

Planets act in the calendar through trines: when two planets stand 120 degrees apart in front of constellations of the same element, that element overlays the Moon’s day type for a few hours. The time around a planet’s node is unfavourable, twelve hours before and after. What applies on this day is shown above.
