Frequently asked questions
- What are fruit, root, flower and leaf days?
- An old gardening tradition links the zodiac sign the Moon stands in to the part of the plant to tend: fire signs are fruit days, earth signs root days, air signs flower days, water signs leaf days. The calendar marks them; whether it helps your garden is a matter of tradition, not of science.
- What is an ascending Moon?
- For about two weeks the Moon passes a little further north in the sky each day — higher, seen from the Northern Hemisphere — then for two weeks further south. The calendar computes it from the Moon’s real position and marks the days it turns.
- Why does my sowing calendar differ by a day or two?
- Some calendars use the star constellations instead of the zodiac signs, which run about 24° behind; this one uses the signs, like most moon calendars.
- Are the phases exact?
- Yes, within about a minute, computed with the methods almanacs use and given in your time zone.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The PDF is made in your browser.
