Biography

I found True Sidereal Astrology during my own soul search. I’m an obsessive do it yourself type, and after coming across a few random astrology interviews, I started doing my own research. I tend to look for the obscure in their field as they usually think for themselves and have a deeper knowledge of their subject. That is how I found the small niche that is True Sidereal Astrology.

I have often said that I feel like I was born in the wrong century. I strongly gravitate toward a more mechanical, slow food & homesteading lifestyle. I have personally found my purpose through my astrological studies and now understand why I have such a stubborn self-reliant energy.

Experiencing the sense of purpose that astrology has illuminated for me has inspired me to share this gift with others. I invite you to join me on a journey of self-discovery and true self actualization

online calendar with 13 months of 28 days?

I have been working on a reworked calendar and publishing it moonthly in The Homestead Journal. Here is this moonths:

The moon placement is based upon True Sidereal Astrology in which the constellations are asymmetric and map more accurately to the sky. You can read more about True Sidereal Astrology here.

For those that are curious, these are the sun signs in True Sidereal:

Biodynamic Gardening Moon Online Calendar

Since my original post about the zodiacs on here, I have discovered that Maria Thun’s wheel matches the sky with both asymmetric signs and precession taken into account. It is the same wheel I use with my astrology practice.

This is definitely the wheel that resonates with me.

To answer your question, it depends on if you intend to use the cuttings as scion after. By the word, pruning, I would assume you are not. In short, if you prune during a descending moon (moon somewhere between Gemini and Sagittarius in the northern hemisphere) then the energy will be going down into the roots instead of sap flow into the tips. This is the best time to prune, trim hedges and fell timber. The caveat is that if you are trying to cut for scion then you would want that energy to be in the scion and you would cut at the opposite time.

Hand Weeding Sickle, by Truly Garden

Jay Angler wrote:
Yes, I've been chopping and dropping the Burdock and using it for mulch in place or near-by, but some of it is in awkward spots and sometimes it gets too big before I realize and then it's *really* hard to chop the main stem. Sometimes the main stem is so big that my long handled pruners won't go around it, so I'm wondering if you think your tool would "chop" the stem. The specific plant I'm thinking of is in a spot where I couldn't swing a machete without hitting things I don't want to hit. It seems too time consuming to use my collapsible saw and I'm not sure how effective a saw would be on it - would it cut it or just make a mashy mess? I've got two hori hori knives, neither of them from your company, but I wouldn't have thought either would be best for this task. Maybe I'll take a picture and post it and then everyone can weigh in on their approach!

I feel like I need to go take mine up where some burdock is and see what it can do. :) We just moved onto 15+ acres in Panhandle Idaho and there is a lot of wild around to play in. Our focus has been on a shelter for winter though currently. :)

Mike Haasl wrote:Just encountered another opportunity. Maybe this exists already though... I was harvesting cut and come again greens. To collect a salad, a small scissors works. To run a CSA, the drill powered brush/mower/bag machine works great. To harvest a pound of greens is in the middle. Kind of a pain to use the scissors and no where near a large enough job to buy the machine for.

Is there a little sickle or curved scissors or other device that would help you cut greens by the handful so you can harvest efficiently? I'm guessing before they invented the brush machine people used something. Was that the thing I should get? And if so, what was it? If that thing sucked, could Patrick invent something better?

Beats me, just throwing it out there

My husband's off the cuff idea was an electric turkey carver.

It sounds like there is a need for a hand scythe/sickle...I will have to do more research.

This thread has turned out great. I appreciate everyone's ideas!
