began seeds during sidereal gemini moon, tropical gemini moon as well. I do find that I tend to align the moon to the same sign based on both methods of chart calculation (tropical accounts for the difference in physical size of constellations by dividing the length by the procession of seasons vs. ayanamsa lahiri sidereal which uses the equinox and solstices)
planting at 7:36pm EST, sidereal cancer moon.
tropical planting chart: first house libra ruled by venus conjoining saturn in the sixth house of illness and injury. cancer moon just past exact with mars. mars is past the midheaven, weakening it; mars is the worst planet for this plant (malefic contrary to sect in my inception for germination) so i am avoiding mars in a strong place. midheaven within 3 degrees of trine to saturn-venus. not super worried about saturn as the malefic contrary to sect in this chart due to 1. inception chart and 2. mitigation in relation to midheaven.
Edit: i SHOULD have been worried about saturn as the malefic contrary to sect… developed a small insect problem.
this week ugh… so my grow light went out a few days ago and i had to order a new one. pine tree kush made her displeasure at the low light known by becoming extremely leggy. Just got and introduced the new light today, slowly re-extending the light cycle over the next week to go back to 16+ hrs to avoid stressing her out by transitioning too quick.
She’s had a calmag foliar spray on the saturn-moon opposition (sidereal), and then the micro grow bloom from cronk.
cronk is ok. i’m not sure i like the white cast it leaves on my soil afterwards though. like i bet if i tried putting some of this soil on my tongue it would be salty, you know? i am thinking of trying gaia after this but i’m still reading reviews.
LST has begun!
So for my tropical elections, I do consult my hellenistic astrologer. Usually I give him a window of time and he gives me a precise minute to start my tasks. Some element of this is predictive; the goal is if you can pick a time to start the grow where the alignment of the planets is fortuitous or mitigated as opposed to negative / containing much maltreatment, you can influence the outcome of the task. Another part of the philosophy is that earth’s closest companions, especially the moon, have an impact on plants due to gravity. For some tasks, like LST, I only use a sidereal moon to chose when to do tasks. This is because LST is much lower stakes than germinating a seed. I do still keep track of the precise time I perform actions for my own observation but I will not be including those charts here.
