August 2026 Gardening Moon Calendar

Gardening by the Moon Phase, Farmer’s Planting Guide Source: mooncalendar.astro-seek.com

Please read this first:

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.

Gardening by the Moon Zodiac Sign (Element) – Legend

Biodynamic Calendar – Icon Legend
	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 (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 (Earth Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate Root plants and Root vegetables. Ex: Carrot, Turnip, but also Potato, Beet-root, Garlic, Onion, Leek. Crop should be stored in Root days. Beekeeping: Bees should be encouraged to build more comb.
	Flower days (Air Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant, cultivate and harvest Flower plants or herbs used for medicinal purposes. 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.

Gardening by the Moon Phase – Legend
	NEW MOON Time to rest, celebrate and meditate.
	NEW MOON PHASE New Moon -» First Quarter (Waxing Crescent) – Moonlight is increasing – Strongest gravitational pull – Soil releases / Earth exhales / Energy draws UP into upper planets Sow/Plant: Above ground Leaf plants, Cereals, Grains, Lawns, Herbs, Cucumbers. Jobs: Graft, Mow lawns & Prune foliage (to increase growth).
	FIRST QUARTER PHASE First Quarter -» Full Moon (Waxing Gibbous) – Moonlight becomes stronger – Gravitational pull is a little less now – Soil releases / Earth exhales / Energy draws UP into upper planets Sow/Plant: Above ground Fruit plants (with “inside seeds” such as Tomatoes, Peppers, Peas and Bean), Cereals, Grains, Lawns and Flowers. Jobs: Graft, Mow lawns & Prune foliage (to increase growth). Planting and Grafting take best if done two days just before the Full Moon.
	FULL MOON Time to rest, celebrate and meditate. Pick medicinal herbs and plants.
	FULL MOON PHASE Full Moon -» Last Quarter (Waning Gibbous) – Moonlight is decreasing – Gravitational pull is decreasing – Soil absorbs / Earth inhales / Energy draws DOWN into the Roots Sow/Plant: Below ground Root plants such as Potatoes, Carrots & Onions. Plant trees, shrubs, biennials & perennials. Jobs: Harvest all crops, Fertilize, Transplant, Mow lawns & Prune foliage (to reduce growth).
	LAST QUARTER PHASE Last Quarter -» New Moon (Waning Crescent) – Moonlight has decreased – Gravitational pull has decreased – Soil absorbs / Earth inhales / Energy draws DOWN into the Roots Barren phase: Time to rest and prepare for the next New Moon.

Attention:
Surgical operations are generally recommended during the Waning Moon, because human body is healing better after surgery.

However, try to avoid surgeries of the organs under the influence of the zodiac sign the Moon is in on the day of the surgery. These organs are more sensitive when the Moon is passing the sign they are affiliated with and their surgery is not recommended.

Celtic Tree Month – Holly July 8 – August 4

Holly – guards against spirits and witchcraft

In Celtic mythology, the holly was the evergreen twin of the oak.

While the oak was the controller of the light half of the year, the holly controlled the dark, winter months.

It shares another quality with the oak in that it is resistant to lightning, its spikey leaves acting as mini conductors.

It was thus, also associated with the same Celtic and Norse gods of thunder, Taranis and Thor, and was often planted near dwellings to protect folk from lightning strikes.

Protective qualities

Druids believed the holly to possess protective qualities, guarding against evil spirits and witchcraft.

It was thought that bringing the leaves inside during the winter months would provide shelter from the cold for the fairy folk, who in return would be kind to those who inhabited the dwelling.

When new Celtic Chieftains were chosen, a wreath of holly was often used as a crown for good luck and new-born babies were bathed in the water from the leaves to protect them from harm.

Although taking cuttings was encouraged in this way, due to its protective qualities, it was considered unlucky to cut down a whole tree.

Holly formed part of Jesus’ crown of thorns

Today holly is perhaps most associated with Christmas, when, following the old traditions, it adorns the houses as part of yule-tide decoration and festivities.

However, according to Christian beliefs, holly formed part of the crown of thorns worn at the crucifixion.

Tinne, T – At midsummer the Holly King wins his battle with the Oak King and power over the dark months is his. This is possibly why holly appears as the eighth month in the Celtic tree calendar, following oak and holly is the eighth letter in the ogham alphabet, tinne.

It was the blood of Christ that stained the holly berries red and it was the Christians who gave the holly tree its name from the word holy.

Holly berries are poisonous to humans but a good winter food source for birds. The leaves of the holly tree were used to treat colds and fevers largely associated with the winter months.

As a flower remedy holly is said to rid people of jealousy and hatred and open the heart to love.

Holly Moon: July 8 – August 4 from learnreligions.com

Although the Oak ruled in the previous month, its counterpart, the Holly, takes over in July. This evergreen plant reminds us all year long about the immortality of nature. The Holly moon was called Tinne, pronounced chihnn-uh, by the Celts, who knew the potent Holly was a symbol of masculine energy and firmness. The ancients used the wood of the Holly in the construction of weapons, but also in protective magic. Hang a sprig of Holly in your house to ensure good luck and safety to your family. Wear as a charm, or make Holly Water by soaking leaves overnight in spring water under a full moon — then use the water as a blessing to sprinkle on people or around the house for protection and cleansing.

JUN. 24: TEMPLAR HOLY DAY. In the Roman calendar this day was thought to be Summer Solstice. The Church renamed this pagan holiday to St. John the Baptist Day. Templars revered it highly. On Jun 24, 1314 a mysterious band of knights joined Robert the Bruce of Scotland on the battlefield making his victory at Bannockburn possible. These knights could only have been the a troop of disbanded and now in-hiding Templars who had fled to western Scotland. St. John’s day was used by Freemasons in 1717 to found the first public (non-Scottish) Order of Freemasonry in London. Masonic teachings are said to descend from the esoteric Christianity of Templarism. St. John the Baptizer was beheaded because he wouldn’t give in and sacrifice his principles. This is a Templar ideal, as is the constancy and regularity — order out of chaos — of the solstices and equinoxes. So for both reasons, Christian and “pagan,” we observe this day.

Please read this first:

1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:

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.

Gardening by the Moon Zodiac Sign (Element) – Legend

Biodynamic Calendar – Icon Legend
	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 (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 (Earth Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate Root plants and Root vegetables. Ex: Carrot, Turnip, but also Potato, Beet-root, Garlic, Onion, Leek. Crop should be stored in Root days. Beekeeping: Bees should be encouraged to build more comb.
	Flower days (Air Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant, cultivate and harvest Flower plants or herbs used for medicinal purposes. 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.

Gardening by the Moon Zodiac Sign (Element) – Legend

Biodynamic Calendar – Icon Legend
	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 (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 (Earth Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant and cultivate Root plants and Root vegetables. Ex: Carrot, Turnip, but also Potato, Beet-root, Garlic, Onion, Leek. Crop should be stored in Root days. Beekeeping: Bees should be encouraged to build more comb.
	Flower days (Air Element) It is the appropriate time to sow, transplant, cultivate and harvest Flower plants or herbs used for medicinal purposes. 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.

Celtic Tree Month – Hawthorn Tree May 13 – June 9

Hawthorn Tree – Spring

The Hawthorn is a prickly sort of plant with beautiful blossoms. Called Huath by the ancient Celts, and pronounced Hoh-uh, the Hawthorn month is a time of fertility, masculine energy, and fire.

The Hawthorn is also associated with the realm of Faerie, and when the Hawthorn grows in tandem with an Ash and Oak, it is said to attract the Fae.

As it is considered a fairy tree, it is believed to be extremely bad luck to cut one down, remove branches, or even hang things upon it (except at Beltane when this was customary) in case you disturb the little folk.

This belief has survived into modern times.

In 1999 work was interrupted on the main road from Limerick to Galway because a fairy tree stood in its path. The road had to be rerouted and construction was delayed for 10 years.

In 2009 there were numerous sightings of an ancient ghost thought to reappear in Tyrone after the felling of a fairy tree.

Few people will speak of the fairy tree out of a mixture of fear and respect and even fewer would ever remove or damage a hawthorn standing alone.

Couples fell in love under the hawthorn blossom

Contrary to these beliefs, in Britain, the hawthorn was associated with love and …

The Worm Moon

The Worm Moon is the traditional name for March’s full Moon, originating from Native American and European folklore. It marks the time of year when the ground begins to thaw, and earthworms and beetle larvae emerge, signaling the arrival of spring. This natural awakening represents rebirth, renewal, and the transition from winter’s stagnation to growth and movement.

(One Persons Point of View) March 2026 Information on The Worm “Blood” Moon

(I apologize that I could not get this information posted yesterday for you.)

March’s Full Worm Moon Comes With a Rare Lunar Eclipse

Written By:Catherine BoeckmannExecutive Digital Editor and Master Gardener

The Full Worm Moon reaches its peak on the morning of Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at 6:38 A.M. ET. This year’s March Moon is especially notable because it coincides with a total lunar eclipse. The eclipse reaches its greatest point at 6:33 A.M. ET—just minutes earlier—and during totality, the Moon can take on a coppery red or orange glow.

You don’t need any special equipment to enjoy this celestial pairing. Simply step outside and watch as the Full Moon changes color over several hours. For a detailed explanation of what’s happening in the sky, see our guide to what happens during a total lunar eclipse.
