The influence of the Constellations
The twelve zodiac constellations (groups of stars) influence by means of terrestrial elements. The passage of the moon in front of these constellations is good for certain plants and certain types of gardening tasks.
These constellations are classified in four categories:
-
Fire groups together the Aries, Leo, and Saggitarius constellations, which favour fruit.
-
Water groups together the Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces constellations, which is good for leaves.
-
Earth groups together the Taurus, the Virgo and Capricorn constellations, which is good for roots.
-
Air groups together the Gemini, the Libra and the Aquarius constellations, which favour flowers.
We can thus identify good days for roots, fruit, flowers and leaves.
During these days we can favour sowing, maintenance or harvesting of plants, exploiting the best time to do so.
