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 2027
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.
Fruit, root, flower, and leaf days
In the biodynamic tradition (Maria Thun) the moon sign assigns each day a plant part. Use it to time sowing, care, and harvest more precisely.
Fruit days — fire signs ♈ Aries · ♌ Leo · ♐ Sagittarius
Best for fruit and seed crops: tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, beans, peas, pumpkin, corn. Also good for harvesting fruit and seed for storage.
Root days — earth signs ♉ Taurus · ♍ Virgo · ♑ Capricorn
Best for root crops: carrots, radishes, beetroot, potatoes, onions, celeriac. Good days for hoeing, mulching, fertilising, and harvesting roots for storage.
Flower days — air signs ♊ Gemini · ♎ Libra · ♒ Aquarius
Best for flowering plants: roses, sunflowers, lavender, cut flowers, plus broccoli and cauliflower. Also for cutting flowers for tea and dried bouquets.
Leaf days — water signs ♋ Cancer · ♏ Scorpio · ♓ Pisces
Best for leafy crops: lettuce, spinach, cabbage, chard, parsley, chives, herbs. Recommended for watering and leaf care; less suitable for harvesting for long storage.
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.
