I have loved using the Celestial Planting Calendar. It gives me a structure for my tasks and our harvests this year have been outstanding!
Since it was my first year, I kept it simple and just ordered my work according to the colored planting days and then tried to honor the transplanting and harvesting windows as much as I could.
Thank you for all the time you have given to this and the knowledge you are sharing.

Embrace Interconnectedness
Life is a seamless tapestry and all the threads are necessary.
We can observe and harness Nature's brilliance and power. Soil health is necessary for plant health. Microbes in the soil support plant immunity. Healthy plants are nutrient-dense and support your body's microbes.
The elements of fire, air, earth, and water are individually essential, and collectively powerful. Sunlight, temperature, rain, and soil must be considered in agriculture. The cosmic forces of sun, moon, stars, and planets influence the elements and the conditions for growing.
The grower not only nurtures the soil and plants but is an intricate part of the growing experience. With meticulous observation and a deeper insight into challenges and possible solutions, you the grower can foster harmony and balance in the farm organism.
The essential theme of Biodynamic agriculture is interconnectedness – between sky and earth, plant and soil, humans and their environment. Your role of observer is just as crucial as your role as active participant. Your inner nature affects your outer world. This oneness with the farm/garden extends into the community and nurtures all life.

How and Why to Use the
Celestial Planting Calendar
The farming aspect of astrology is primary. Long before it was used for birth charts, astrology was used for weather and agriculture.
In this video interview, the Celestial Planting Calendar astrologer and astronomer Gary Caton discusses the ancient wisdom and modern practicality of astrology in farming and gardening.
Wondering why potatoes and carrots aren’t storing well? You may have harvested them on a water day. The Celestial Planting Calendar charts which days are best for harvest, planting, transplanting, and applying biodynamic preparations.
Maria Thun devoted over 50 years to research these subtle effects on plants. Her father had studied with Rudolf Steiner around 1924, and Maria wanted to explore the finer details of Steiner's teachings related to agriculture.
In addition to healthy plants and increased yields, following the planetary rhythms helps us to connect more deeply with the rhythms and ecosystem of our farm and garden.
Learn How to Use the
Celestial Planting Calendar
In this video, see the experience of using and reading the charts of the Celestial Planting Calendar.
Note that the calendar in this video is a previous year's calendar, and the format is slightly different in 2025.
Calculations are based on the actual constellations, not the tropical zodiac.
Monthly page key information is colour-coded to one of the four elements and the respective weather and plants: Green/Earth/Cold/Root, Blue/Water/Damp/Leaf, Red/Fire/Heat/Fruit, Yellow/Air/Light/Flower.
With unfavourable times to plant/harvest also noted with gray blocks.
Moon Phases and the Moon in Zodiac are graphed. Phases of the moon affect the watery forces within the soil and plants, just as the moon affects tides.
Bright Blessings.
