How the lunar gardening calendar works
Waxing and waning moon
When we see, at the same time, the moon higher in the sky than the day before, it is the waxing moon. And the opposite, if it is lower and lower, it is descending. When the moon is rising, the sap is also increasing in the plants. These are the days to pick the fruit. On a descending moon, the sap decreases, the lower part and the roots benefit from it. Now is the time to prune, plow, cut wood and grass. This is the best time to mow the lawn to get better roots.
What days ?
When the moon passes through the different constellations, the days are dedicated to different crops and work.
- If it passes through Gemini, it is the day of flowers and flowering vegetables.
- When it crosses the constellations of the aquatic signs: Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces, these are the days of the leaves. So you can take care of the stems and leaves.
- If it crosses the fire signs: Aries, Leo or Sagittarius, these are indeed the days of fruits, fruit vegetables, their seeds.
- If it is in the constellation of earth signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, these are the days of the roots.
It is especially the root crops that we must take care of during the moon in earth signs
Apogee and perigee
The moon describes an elliptical around the Earth, that is to say, it is not always at the same distance from our planet. When it is closest, it is perigee and the Earth is attracted to its strongest. It is at this time that the seedlings wither and when it is in the peak phase, they grow less.
Eclipse and lunar node
When the moon is in Earth’s path around the sun, it is the lunar node. If it falls on a full moon or new moon, it is an eclipse.
When is the moon waning in September?
In September 2023, the new moon is on the 15th. So, it is ascendant from September 15 to 28. On the 22nd, it is growing. The 29th is the full moon. The favorable days for mowing your lawn in September are the 9th, 10th, 11th, 18th, 19th and 20th. You then still have three days left for mowing favorable to your lawn . To make it nice and thick, at a slower growth rate, you need to choose between these dates. Because your herbs will contain less sap.
