Garden moon calendar: how to read this page
Favourable days for planting and care
Fertile signs and waxing lunar segments are highlighted as especially useful for planning, sowing, and routine garden work.
Caution in weaker windows
New Moon and certain signs are treated more carefully. When a day is split into segments, trust the coloured intervals more than the date alone.
Why location matters
In-day transition times depend on place. Map and coordinates adapt the garden calendar to your region.
Using the garden calendar for May 2026
For sowing and upkeep
Start from favourable segments — they are more informative than a single daily label when transitions happen mid-day.
For regional calculation
With location data the worker can compute the same month for another area and show local transitions more accurately.
For past months
Archive navigation helps compare older months and seasonal patterns.
Note
The garden moon calendar is astrological planning guidance. Weather, soil, season, and practical garden conditions remain decisive.

FAQ
Why are some signs treated as fertile?
In this editorial logic certain signs are traditionally linked with growth, care, and better rooting.
Why is a whole day not always one label?
If lunar day or sign changes during the day, the calendar shows several real windows instead of one daily average.
