Moon opposition Saturn

[Note that this strongly vitalising influence is “in orb” for up to 12 hours either side of the opposition time. It is believed that spraying out biodynamic preparations (late afternoon) and atmospheric preparations (early morning) back-to-back, reinforces the balance between the Moon’s calcium influence and Saturn’s silica influence, giving pasture and crops greater resilience to weather extremes, diseases and pests.]
