Weather By The Moon PLANTING BY THE MOON Early farmers always planted by the Moon. Because rainfall, temperature, and light affect the germination of seeds.it was important to know how the Moon affected weather. When the Moon passed in front of a particular constellation, cultivation, sowing and planting were enhanced. For instance, when the Moon passed in front of the sky region of Leo, not only was the formation of fruit and seed furthered, but the quality of the seeds was improved. The four formative trends appear in the sequence:root, flower, leaf, fruit/seed, and these trends are repeated three times in the course of 27 days. The duration in which each impulse is active varies in length between one and a half and four days. The inner quality though, was considered to be individual to each constellation, which puts the Moon as the reflector of the ever-changing quality of the Sun throughout the course of the year.

Planting by the Moon Moon, her chariots drawn by maidens, exerts her influence over wells, streams and the sea, fishing and boating of all kinds, and even over the travelling mountebank who is performing the cups and balls trick on the table in the distance. -Ronan Picture Library and Royal Astronomical Society 45
