THE NUMBER OF PLANETS RETROGRADE IN AUGUST MIGHT PUT YOU ON EDGE

The term retrograde gets a bad rap. (Mercury rx, I blame you.) But surprisingly, retrogrades aren’t always earth-shattering events. How life-changing a retrograde tends to be is based on the planet itself and its proximity to the sun, which vary widely. For example, Mercury and Venus retrogrades are often more noticeable, since those planets (aka inner planets) are closer to the sun (and Earth), while the retrogrades of outer planets like Uranus and Neptune aren’t always as apparent. So when I tell you that there are five retrograde planets in August 2022, don’t panic — all of them are outer planets, making the changes they bring up far more gradual.

What Is A Retrograde?

The definition of “retrograde” means to reverse or go backward — but when it comes to the planets, they are actually always moving forward. During this cycle from Earth, however, it appears as if they’re going backward, when in reality they’re just changing speeds.

Every astrological planet retrogrades periodically, except for the sun and moon (since they’re luminaries). The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto), in particular, spend about four to five months every year retrograde. These retrogrades always occur around the time that they form a trine to the sun, which activates the retrograde of the planet. Near the end of the retrograde, the retrograde planet will form another trine to the sun, bringing endings to that period, and usually a revelation.

What Planets Will Be Retrograde During August 2022?

With all five outer planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto — retrograde in August 2022, there will definitely be some reviewing and revising that takes place, but don’t worry, you’ve experienced the retrogrades of each of these planets every single year, so you’re a pro.

What is the August Full Sturgeon Moon?

August’s full moon is called the Full Sturgeon Moon, after the primitive fish that used to be abundant in North America’s lakes and rivers during the summer months. Having remained mostly unchanged since the earliest fossil records, sturgeons are ancient living fossils that can grow up until 3.5 meters long, or as long as two adult humans stacked on top of each other. Nowadays, however, it’s almost impossible to see a sturgeon during the Full Sturgeon Moon. While they used to thrive, sturgeons are now considered the single most critically endangered group of species on earth – and you might be part of the reason why.

Have you ever eaten caviar? Some species of sturgeons are harvested for their roe, which is then processed into caviar. Because of this, wild sturgeons have been exploited to the brink of extinction due to overfishing and illegal poaching. In addition, they are also vulnerable to water pollution, and their breeding grounds are often damaged due to agriculture and lumbering. Though sturgeons are extremely long-lived – the females can live up to be 150 years old – sturgeons might not be around for much longer. They might have survived the dinosaurs, but they might not be able to survive human beings and our hunger for luxurious delicacies like caviar. But there is something even more terrifying than hungry human beings: hungry ghosts.

In China, the Full Sturgeon Moon is known as the Hungry Ghosts Moon. August’s full moon coincides with the Hungry Ghosts Festival, which is when the gates of hell open up and the hungry dead once again walk amongst the living. The Chinese prepare offerings of food and money to satisfy the ghosts’ hunger, make them happy, and prevent them from causing havoc amongst humankind. In Malaysia and Singapore, Chinese communities set up musical stages and host performances, making sure to always leave the front row empty for the honored guests – the hungry ghosts. Under the full moon, people light lotus-shaped water lanterns and float them on lakes, rivers, and pools, in order to provide light for lost souls to find their way safely back into the afterlife.

Despite the macabre atmosphere of the event, the Hungry Ghosts Festival actually originated as a harvest festival during the Han Dynasty, during which farmers would pray to their ancestors and report their autumn harvest to them. Due to Taoist and Buddhist influences, folk beliefs combined with religious ceremonies to form the Hungry Ghost Festival. In Japan, which also had Buddhist influences, this festival is celebrated as the Obon festival. Japanese communities wear yukata, eat and make merry at carnivals, and perform the Obon dance.

In North America, Native American tribes also saw the Full Sturgeon Moon as signifying a time of bountiful harvest. The Cherokee tribes called it the Full Fruit Moon, and many other First Nation tribes referred to it as the Black Berries Moon. The Sioux called it the Moon When All Things Ripen. The Paint Clans, which were known for their medicinal prowess, would harvest herbs and medicines, while the Wild Potato tribes would forage for food. Naturally, they would also catch a lot of sturgeon. You, on the other hand, may want to celebrate the Full Sturgeon Moon by telling your friends about the importance of saving its critically endangered namesake.

August 2022 – Gardening by the Moon, Biodynamic Planting Guide

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. Jobs: Avoid seed sowing. Jobs: Harvest and store crops, Fertilize, Transplant, Destroy weed, Mow lawns & Prune foliage (to reduce growth).

Gardening Moon Calendar – July 2022

July 2022 – Gardening by the Moon, Biodynamic Planting Guide

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.

July 2022 Horoscope: Predictions for Your Zodiac Sign

Click on the hyperlink to read your July 2022 Sun Sign horoscope from tarot.com

Get a sneak peek at what’s in store for your zodiac sign this month!

by Maria DeSimone

Our collective energy will go from fast and furious to a slower, more conservative but everlasting burn this month. When Mars enters solid Taurus on July 5, we won’t be pushed or prodded into doing anything! That said, whenever we decide to use our energy for something that is meaningful, we won’t stop until the job is done.

A Full Moon in Capricorn on July 13 highlights our strategies for attaining our most significant ambitions — especially professional ones. We can manifest a significant goal during this time or take any necessary pivots to make our future endeavors go smoothly. Venus enters tender Cancer on July 17, inspiring us energy to nourish deep emotional connections and any romantic happenings. We may all be more open to demonstrations of affection that can satisfy even the deepest emotional hunger.

The month winds down with a spectacular New Moon in Leo on July 18. This lunation is playful, creative, and warm. Our hearts should be filled with joy!

July 2022 Moon Details

From MoonGiant.com

The Full Moon for this month will occur in the second week on Wednesday, July 13th. The New Moon will happen later in July on Thursday, July 28th.

The Full Thunder Moon of July

July’s full moon is called the Full Thunder Moon, after the frequent thunderstorms that roll in during early summer. Thunderstorms are more likely to form in humid environments during summer because of the moist, hot air rising from the ground to the higher, colder parts of our atmosphere. The Full Thunder Moon is, therefore, a warning sign for a surprisingly dangerous time of the year.

Did you know that you are more likely to get hit by lightning twice in your lifetime than win the Powerball lottery, and that summer is usually when most lightning fatalities happen? As the Full Thunder Moon rises to prominence during the warm summer months, people are more likely to be taking part in outdoor activities, which increases their risk of being hit by the frequent thunder and lightning strikes that happen during this period. Everyone knows to avoid trees and bodies of water during thunderstorms, but that basic precaution alone is not enough.

According to experts, you should head inside a safe building immediately when you hear thunder, no matter how safe you think you are. Lightning can strike from up to 10 miles away, and nothing can protect you when you’re outdoors. Wearing rubber soles or crouching down low will not stop lightning from hurting you. Lying down on the ground is an even worse idea, as it’ll make you even more vulnerable to currents traveling through the ground.

If you do get caught outdoors with no way to make it into a building safely, sheltering in a completely closed, all-metal car is an option as long as you don’t touch anything metal. You should also avoid open areas such as fields. Just keep moving as fast as you can until you reach shelter. If you happen to be in a group, spread out so that if one of you gets struck, the others can provide emergency CPR and other help. Remember that it’s completely safe to touch a person after they’ve been struck. Lightning-related deaths are most often caused by the heart stopping due to the sudden surge of electricity, and so it is very important to administer CPR to a lightning strike victim immediately.

Ultimately, the best way to avoid being caught outdoors in a thunderstorm is to take a little of your time each day to monitor the weather situation, and have backup plans for shelter if you’re heading outdoors. That said, being indoor doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you’re safe either. Make sure to stay far away from any plumbing, metal objects, electronic devices and equipment, or anything that might conducts electricity. Avoid windows or doors at all costs. Not even concrete walls and floors are safe, since they contain metal rods that conduct electricity, so never allow yourself to lean against concrete walls or come into contact with concrete floors. The risk of a strike remains for 30 minutes after the last flash of lightning or peal of thunder.

The Full Thunder Moon is a great time for you to brush up on your lightning safety knowledge and educate other people as well. Feel free to head to the wild outdoors to observe deers whose velvety antlers are growing out during this period – which is why July’s full moon is also known as the Full Buck Moon – but also make sure to take the necessary safety precautions.

Gardening by June’s 2022 Moon Phases – Printable

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.

	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.

June 2022 Horoscope: Predictions for Your Zodiac Sign

Click on the hyperlink for your Zodiac sign

We can finally feel as if we’re thinking clearly again this month! Clever Mercury turns direct on June 3 after having been retrograde since May 10. The day after Mercury’s movement, responsible Saturn spins retrograde. These two planets create an excellent time to re-evaluate the structures of our lives. The Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 14 helps as well, heightening our awareness of significant matters in all of our lives.

Then, a New Moon in Cancer on June 28 promises a fresh start regarding how we handle our emotional needs. This can apply to our domestic worlds — but also our love lives. Speaking of which, matters of the heart will be quite a roller coaster in June! An electrifying Venus-Uranus conjunction in Taurus on June 11 could bring an unexpected twist in love or financial matters, while the square between Venus and Saturn on June 18 shows whether or not the potential surprise in this area of our life is sustainable. Venus also slides into Gemini on June 22, making romance more open and playful. Our approach to love can become more curious and no longer stifled by pungent expectations. Things should feel so much lighter.
