Dear Readers of Stella Natura,
So many nights I look towards the heavens and am so grateful for this vibrant community of human beings who are finding the moral and practical value of living in alignment with the greater rhythms and wisdom of the stars. Finding earthly humility in our shared striving to partner with the celestial beings and having the courage to explore the unknown and expand our conscious awareness brings wholeness and healing to our lives and our relationships. I write this with deep gratitude as we prepare to meet 2027 and all the benevolent forces which will gracefully bear us forward and honor our earnest efforts in yet another yearly turn around the Sun.
For those who are just getting oriented to Stella Natura, the charts of this calendar offer advice for when to sow seeds and cultivate garden and farm crops to enhance their roots (carrots, beets, etc.), flowers (chamomile, zinnias, etc.), leaves (lettuce, spinach, kale, etc.), or fruits (squash, beans, tomatoes, etc.). This is based on the Moon's passage through the constellations of the zodiac. Unfavorable times for sowing are also indicated, to help avoid those inexplicable crop failures.
In addition to this way of linking our agricultural endeavors with cosmic rhythms, articles by fourteen different authors address such topics as finding a relationship to the spirit in nature; the qualities of stinging nettle; researching biodynamic preparation plants that are suitable substitutes for regions outside of Europe; the formative forces that are expressed in flowers; honeybees as a blueprint for human social life; insights on tempering as one element changes to another; finding a relationship to the total solar eclipse of August 2; the imagination of Michael as it relates to the Sun's passage through the fall constellations; a poetic and sensorial deepening of our relationship to autumn; and a seasoned biodynamic farmer's insights into working with the rhythms of nature and the cosmos.
