The Moon in the zodiac: Leo
The Moon in Leo: a fire sign, a fruit day in the gardeners' tradition; a barren sign. The sign changes every two to three days; what each means in the garden is on the planting calendar.
A fire sign, barren. Fruit day by element, but the tradition uses Leo for weeding, cutting hay and lawns, and pruning to slow growth.
