What it means for sowing and planting

In the biodynamic calendar a lunar eclipse is an unfavourable time. Its whole duration is blocked, from the Moon entering the penumbra until it leaves it, even if the Moon sets or rises in the meantime where you live. No sowing and no planting during that time. Before and after, the day type applies. A lunar eclipse always falls on a full moon.
