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 (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.

January 2024 Moon Details

The Full Moon for this month will occur later in the month on Thursday, January 25th. The New Moon is earlier in the month on Thursday, January 11th.

January Full Moon Name

The very first full moon of the year is known in many cultures as the Full Wolf Moon, which is appropriate given the deep, ancient ties between wolves and January’s full moon. For instance, the Gaelic word for January, Faoilleach, comes from the term for wolves, faol-chù, even though wolves haven’t existed in Scotland for centuries. The Saxon word for January is Wulf-monath, or Wolf Month. Meanwhile, the festival of the Japanese wolf god, Ooguchi Magami, is held in January. The Seneca tribe links the wolf so strongly to the moon, they believe that a wolf gave birth to the moon by singing it into the sky. Just why are wolves so strongly associated with January’s full moon?

The most obvious answer is because wolves are much louder and more noticeable in January, which is when breeding season begins. Wolves begin to howl more frequently and aggressively to establish their territory, threatening neighbors and enemies alike to stay far away from their breeding grounds. A small pack of wolves may even try to make themselves seem like a larger pack by howling together. While a lone wolf can sustain a howl for the duration of a single breath, an entire pack may howl in unison for longer than two minutes during breeding season.

While it makes sense for the haunting howls of wolves to be more memorable during January, how did wolves come to be associated with the full moon itself? Everyone is familiar with the iconic image of a wolf raising its head and howling at the full moon – but do wolves actually sing to the moon? While that might be a romantic idea, there’s no scientific evidence that links wolves to the lunar cycle. Humans may have begun to associate wolves with the moon simpy because they are nocturnal animals that are very active at night. In addition, wolves do raise their heads in the direction of the sky so their howls can travel over far distances to reach their pack mates as they roam. Instead of singing to the moon, they’re actually singing to their friends.

In fact, wolves are so well-known for their tight-knit communities that the Sioux tribe called January’s full moon the Moon Where Wolves Run Together. The wolf is often seen as a symbol of loyalty and protection in many cultures. The Wolf Moon is the perfect time for you to reach out to loved ones and reaffirm your connections, in preparation for deepening your bonds and taking on new challenges together over the upcoming year.

That said, lone wolves are also entirely capable of overcoming hostile conditions on their own with their resourcefulness. According to Celtic mythology, the wolf is infused with lunar power, which refers to its ability to sniff out hidden insights or knowledge, and to detect unexpected sources of danger. In some legends, the wolf even swallows the sun so the wolf can bask in the moon’s overflowing lunar power! The Full Wolf Moon is a great time for you to plan out clever ways to achieve your goals for the upcoming year. Trust your wolfish instincts when it comes to decisions, but also be tenacious in searching for useful knowledge that will help you realize your masterplan.

A Thought for Today

May this song touch your heart as it does mine.

Angel Flight

“Angel Flights are the U.S. Air Force planes (C-130’s) used to fly home our Fallen Soldiers. Angel Flight is also their call sign. … Now, of course, there are other flights that have an even higher priority, but in reference to other standard military flights, Angel Flights get number 1 priority.” #AngelFlight

I know there are some who read my blog are former military from different countries. I dedicate this post to the fallen among you. As this year comes to a close please remember not only those in the military who gave their lives, men-women-animals, to keep us civilians and the country they fought for safe and for a better way of life. Also remember their families and friends who sacrificed there military hero for us and in many cases the love ones never get over the loss.

Keep in mind too those that come home from a war zone who have seen things no one ever should that they deserve our thanks and support. Just as their families do.

Join me in saluting not only every military person who is now serving but also all those that have served going back centuries.

All first responders living, or dead deserve our thanks and appreciation for all they do too.

Spell for December “Cold” Full Moon

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

Cold Moon Ritual & Spell (December)

The radiant full Moon is an ancient power for making Magic. December marks the beginning of the cold season in the Northern Hemisphere. Cold Moon is the name traditionally given to the Full Moon closest to the time when the astronomical winter begins: The Winter Solstice (around Dec. 21st).

Also known as Yule, and sometimes called Midwinter, the Solstice is a time to celebrate the return of the sun and the lengthening of days. December is an excellent time to get quiet, reflect, and celebrate. Here’s an easy Cold Moon ritual for introspection and reflection.

How does this spell work?

The color silver represents the Moon. Tonight’s Full Moon ritual will be about opening up intuition and inviting the protective and positive influence of the Goddess. 🌕

The color gold represents the Sun. It symbolizes the strength and confidence of the Sun being reborn in December. It brings warmth, understanding, and energy for growth. ☀️

They will be your guides as you journal and answer questions about this past year. This part of the ritual requires self-reflection and a deeper look inside yourself.

Cast this Cold Moon spell any of the three nights when the Moon is full in December.

A Cold Moon ritual to gather your energies and cast a spell of Magic on December’s Full Moon. Set an intention, call out your guides and meditate.

INGREDIENTS

Your journal or paper
Pen or pencil
1 silver candle
1 gold candle
(Optional) Guided meditation below

HOW TO CAST THE SPELL

Take a moment to calm your inner self by taking three deep breaths.

Light the silver candle. Visualize the power of the Moon coming into yourself and opening your intuition.

Light the gold candle. Visualize the power of the Sun warming your body and filling you with energy. If you have other spirit guides, invite them to your ritual.

Say: “I welcome your Powers to guide me.”

You can play meditative music or follow the guided meditation below to get in tune with the energy of this Full Moon.

When you are ready, take out your journal or Book of Mirrors and answer the questions included in the page below.

Once you have finished writing, take a moment to sit quietly and reflect on what you have written.

When you are finished, extinguish the candles.

NOTES

Practice candle safety. Never leave candles burning unattended.

What Magickal Energies Correspond to the Full Moon? Source: explorewicca.com

What Magickal Energies Correspond to the Full Moon?

Drawing Down the Moon is not the only magick associated with the full moon. There are plenty of energies and correspondences that are strengthened by the full moon and its power. In this section, we’re going to take a look at some of those associations.

The Energies and Magick of the Full Moon

As I mentioned in the section on the Triple Goddess, the Mother (and thus, the full moon) is associated with maternal protection and life-giving energy. So, any sort of spells or rituals that fall within those categories are a good choice for a full moon.

Most commonly, this includes spells relating to fertility and love. However, spells of protection or a blessing for a home would also be a great choice for the full moon–as you can tap into the stability and protection that it provides.

Additionally, if you’re a gardener, the full moon moon is a great time to ask the goddess to bless your plants. The full moon is when she’s at the peak of her life-giving powers.

Full Moon Correspondences

In a nutshell, correspondences are physical depictions of spiritual energy–they’re things like colors, herbs, and symbols which help to add more energy and power to certain types of spells.

And when it comes to full moons, there are plenty of correspondences that will help make your spells as strong as they can be.

In terms of colors, the full moon is closely associated with silvers and whites. However, green could also be an option (as it represents life and growth), as well as red or pink if you’re harnessing the power of the full moon for fertility or love.

There are far too many plants and herbs associated with the full moon to list them all, but here are some of the more common ones, along with their specific energies:

Apples (abundance, life)
Cedar (for honoring or contacting deities)
Goldenrod (guidance and protection)
Red roses (love and passion)
White roses (the Triple Goddess)

Moonstone and selenite are two gems/crystals that are associated with the full moon. However, charging any kind of crystal or gem in the moonlight can help to increase its power.
