The sky today

Moon in Virgo · waning moon

It is Libra season. The Moon is in Virgo today. That means: the small things stand out, the big ones wait. While the moon is waning, from full moon back to new, the same rule turns to what grows below ground: carrots, onions, potatoes, flowering bulbs and perennials. In the old almanacs Virgo counts as a barren sign.

The Moon's day

The Moon meets no one today. The day has no direction, and that is no flaw. Whoever has no plans is right today. And the Moon is without connection all day today: whatever you start today won't come to much.

Saying of the day

“Full Moon in October without frost, no frost till full Moon in November.” An old rule that if the October full moon passed without frost, the next frost would wait for the November full moon.
