But the Moon’s Perigee, which can be compared to a midwinter with the Earth nearer to the Sun, has a very dfferent effect. For seed plants, germination is poor. Most of these plants are inhibited in their growth and are also more subject to attacks from fungus diseases and pests. Apogee days are mainly clear and bright, whilst those at Perigee are mostly dull, heavy or rainy. These principles remain in force today as the basis for biodynamic gardeners who plant by the Moon. 102 Summer solstice Autumn equinox day shortest length, starts gettong longer day and night equal length Longest day, shortest night Day and night equal length Plant forces start getting stronger Greatest growth point, plant now begins orienting itself more towards the root.
Perigees and Apogees PERIGEE AND DISASTERS Most of New Zealand’s major weather-related disasters have occurred around the Perigee. Below are some well known events that have been written into New Zealand’s history books. There are many more; but space does not permit the listing of all. As the Earth passes under the Moon in 24 hours, the reader might care to delve into newspaper reports and see if other areas around the globe received inclement conditions at roughly the same times. COMPARING CYCLES The Perigee/Apogee cycle alternates every 4 years, as can be seen in the next table of Perigees.
