Month: April 2022

Printable – April 2022 Northern Hemisphere Gardening/Planting Moon Calendar

Thank you to Dr. Digital Philosophy for giving me the little push I needed to put the idea in my head to post this. I will post whatever other months I can find the month before, hopefully for both hemispheres.

Please read this first:

From Astro-Seek.com

1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:

Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.

  • a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
  • b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days

Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.

2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)

There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:

  • a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
  • b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac

Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

Biodynamic Calendar – Icon Legend
Leaf Days Leaf days (Water Element)

  • It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate plants from which the intention is to use Leaves and Stems.
  • Ex: Cabbage, Salads, Lettuce, Spinach, Green onions, Broccoli, Cauliflower and Celeriac.
  • Leaf plants should be harvested in Flower days (or Fruit days).
  • Harvesting in Leaf days is not recommended (products start decomposing in a shorter time).
  • Beekeeping: Working with the hive is not recommended in Leaf days.
Fruit Days Fruit days (Fire Element)

  • It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate plants that produce Fruits and Seeds.
  • Ex: Cherry, Strawberry, Tomato, Pea, Bean, Corn, Pumpkin, Nut, Cereal, Courgette.
  • Harvesting in Fruit days allows fruits and seeds to have a better storage quality.
  • Leaf plants should be harvested in Flower days (or Fruit days).
  • Beekeeping: Fruit days stimulate the collection of nectar. Bees are also supposed to be more gentle these days.
Root Days Root days (Earth Element)

  • Beekeeping: Bees should be encouraged to build more comb.
Flower Days Flower days (Air Element)

  • Flowers, if cut in these days, have a more intense scent and endure longer.
  • Leaf plants should be harvested in these Flower days.
  • Beekeeping: Flower days stimulate brood activity and colony development. Bees are also supposed to be more gentle these days.

A Thought for Today

I believe in always follow the path of my own drummer not the path my family or society thinks I should follow. The same goes for letting my inner child out to play daily. Yes, I might look silly to others when I decide to take playtime outside with my fur kids, but I do not care as we are all having fun plus it tires them out for a nice long nap.

In what ways to you walk your own path and not one preset for you by family or society?

Blessed be dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests!

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

For the next four weeks, you will be focused more on money, earnings and dealing with your possessions. In fact, at a subtle level you will give more thought to your values in life. In other words, what really matters? It’s important to know this.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Sun enters your sign where will stay for the next four weeks. This happens only once a year and when it occurs it gives you a wonderful boost to your energy. It is your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of year. It also attracts people and favourable circumstances to you. Yay!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

As your birthday looms ahead, this means your personal year is coming to an end. Therefore, the next four weeks are an ideal time for you to do some reassessing about where you are and imagine what you want for your future. Start to strategize a new path.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

For the next four weeks, you will be more involved with friends as well as participating in clubs, groups and organizations. This is the perfect window of time to examine the role that these friendships and relationships play in your life. Remember, your friends are a reflection of you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The Sun will be at the top of your chart for the next four weeks. This can only occur once a year and when it does, it symbolizes that you are in the spotlight. Furthermore, this spotlight is flattering! People are impressed with you even if you don’t do anything special. Good time to make your pitch.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Do whatever you can to broaden your horizons in the next four weeks. Study, explore new experiences, meet new people, travel and learn new things. Do not hide at home. Au contraire! Get out and discover your world!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re heading into a passionate four-week window! Physical, romantic passions will be high. You will also be passionate about other things including finances and jointly-held property. Get stuff done.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

For the next four weeks, the Sun will be opposite your sign, something that can occur only once a year. Because the Sun symbolizes your energy, and now it is as far away from your sign as it can get all year, you will need more sleep. Look for ways to improve close relationships.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You can expect to get a lot done in the next four weeks because the Sun will be travelling through the part of your chart that will make you want to manage your life and examine your duties and your responsibilities to your own health. You will definitely want to “get it together.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your focus on amusement, social occasions, sports related activities, children, fun outings and vacations will be strong in the next four weeks. “I’m outta here!” You want to have fun! This is why your relationships will be more lighthearted and playful.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Home, family and your private life will be your main focus in the next four weeks. Many of you will be more involved than usual with a parent. Memories of the past will be bubbling to the surface of your mind. Good time to see a counsellor.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The pace of your days will accelerate in the next four weeks because you’re busy! You’ve got places to go, things to do and people to see! This is also an excellent time to study and learn. Enjoy meeting new faces and seeing new places.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Kate Hudson (1979) shares your birthday today. You are powerful person. You are creative and have a strong persona. You move fast when you decide that you know what you want. You are also a spiritual person. It’s okay to rest this year. It will be slower paced. Focus on close relationships to discover what really benefits you.

Hexagram Seventeen/17

Sui / Following

Thunder beneath the Lake’s surface.
The Superior Person allows himself plenty of sheltered rest and recuperation while awaiting a clear sign to follow.

Supreme success.
No mistakes if you keep to your course.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Thunder from the Lake — the lulling, rhythmic roar of the faithful tide, eternally wearing away the stone of the shoreline, forever obedient to the phases of the moon.
The pull of the moon on the tide is the Following called for now.
As mighty as the tide is in its own right, it is ever the puppet of the invisible, irresistible gravity of the moon.
What cyclical forces pull you along?
Are you futilely attempting to resist a natural attraction?

Numerology

From astrogle.com – Double Digit Numerology Numbers

Seventeen

It is spiritual growth, faith, and balance. It is also wealth or bankruptcy. It is an inner struggle to remain true to spiritual and moral values.

Angel Number

From Angel-Numbers.com

Seventeen

In your thinking you are taking the right path. All is according to your plans and wishes. Very good reason to keep optimistic. This powerful and sacred number represents the Holy Trinity and pyramids.

Stars and Globules in the Running Chicken Nebula

Image Credit & Copyright: Stefan Steve Bemmerl

Explanation: The eggs from this gigantic chicken may form into stars. The featured emission nebula, shown in scientifically assigned colors, is cataloged as IC 2944 but known as the Running Chicken Nebula for the shape of its greater appearance. Seen toward the bottom of the image are small, dark molecular clouds rich in obscuring cosmic dust. Called Thackeray’s Globules for their discoverer, these “eggs” are potential sites for the gravitational condensation of new stars, although their fates are uncertain as they are also being rapidly eroded away by the intense radiation from nearby young stars. Together with patchy glowing gas and complex regions of reflecting dust, these massive and energetic stars form the open cluster Collinder 249. This gorgeous skyscape spans about 60 light-years at the nebula’s estimated 6,500 light-year distance.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM EDT today (4:30 PM to 7:30 PM). After that, the Moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a tricky day! Be careful against impulse spending or rash financial ideas today. Nevertheless, financial benefits might come to you in a sudden and unexpected way. Weirdly, if you act on this advantage, you might end up at odds with a parent or a boss. (Most curious.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today Mercury and unpredictable Uranus are lined up in your sign, which makes you restless and impulsive but also eager for adventure! You want to reach out in any direction for new experiences. Freedom will be important for you today. An unlikely alliance with a friend or a group might surprise you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are ambitious today, which might be why bosses, parents and people in authority will bestow favours on you or give you permission to explore something new. (Their support might surprise you.) Meanwhile, a friend or a group might try to block you. You win some; you lose some.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

A sudden travel opportunity related to publishing, the media, the law or medicine might surprise you today. Romance with someone “different” might blossom. However, power struggles with a parent or a boss might be challenging. Stay flexible and ready to act.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

An unexpected gift, or a financial advantage in a negotiation, or perhaps a tip with shared property might please you today. This could relate to an unexpected conversation with a boss or someone in authority? Steer clear of discussions about politics, religion and racial issues, which could get nasty.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Opportunities to travel or explore educational avenues might drop in your lap today. You might learn something that surprises you. Meanwhile, power struggles about shared property, taxes, debt and insurance issues could be unpleasant. Accept unexpected help from someone.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Something pleasant but unexpected connected to your job or a financial arrangement might please you today. It could be a promotion or assistance of some kind. Meanwhile, be patient with partners and close friends because they might challenge you today. A battle of wills!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A surprise invitation, or unexpected social plans, or something exciting related to the arts might delight you today. (This could also relate to your kids or sports events.) Whatever happens, act quickly if you’re interested. Meanwhile, ego battles at work might occur. (Groan.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A pleasant surprise might occur today that is related to your work or your home and family situation. You might buy something high tech or attractive for where you live. You might suddenly entertain? Be patient with kids because power struggles might take place.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be patient with parents and family members today to avoid nasty arguments. This could relate to something unexpected related to your kids or a sudden vacation opportunity or a boon of some kind relayed to a relative. Be grateful for good things that happen to anyone. Truly. (Life is tough.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Even if you’re at odds with someone, you’re prepared to defend your turf, especially in terms of family and home today. You might spontaneously buy something beautiful or high tech for your home. “This toaster comes with a remote!”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Get ready for a fun surprise. Exciting, unexpected events might take place today. However, a power struggle about money or possessions might arise with someone. Whatever happens, you’re ready to defend your turf. You might buy something unusual to wear today. (One can always use shoes.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Eric McCormack (1963) shares your birthday today. You are a smart, likable, easy-going person. You are sensitive and kind; others find you interesting. You are also very ambitious! This year is the beginning of a fresh, new nine-year cycle for you, which means you must be flexible and have the inner courage to pursue new directions and open any door!

2022 April 18

Stars and Planets over Portugal

Image Credit & Copyright: Miguel Claro (TWAN, Dark Sky Alqueva)

Explanation: The mission was to document night-flying birds — but it ended up also documenting a beautiful sky. The featured wide-angle mosaic was taken over the steppe golden fields in Mértola, Portugal in 2020. From such a dark location, an immediately-evident breathtaking glow arched over the night sky: the central band of our Milky Way galaxy. But this sky had much more. Thin clouds crossed the sky like golden ribbons. The planet Mars appeared on the far left, while the planets Saturn and Jupiter were also simultaneously visible — but on the opposite side of the sky, here seen on the far right. Near the top of the image the bright star Vega can be found, while the far-distant and faint Andromeda Galaxy can be seen toward the left, just below Milky Way’s arch. As the current month progresses, several planets are lining up in the pre-dawn sky: Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Saturn.
