Understanding biodynamic gardening: A holistic, ecological and ethical approach to gardening and farming that views the garden or farm as a self-sustaining living organism. The cosmic rhythms are one of the key principles where gardening activities are timed according to lunar and planetary cycles. This calendar uses the Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac which takes into account the Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun (1922-2012), an authority on biodynamics, used this Sidereal zodiac.
Biodynamic spraying days are also noted on the calendar - Moon opposition Saturn - further increasing soil activity.
