In its monthly orbit around the earth, the moon comes under the influence of each of the twelve sun sign constellations of the solar zodiac for approximately two and a half days each. Each of the twelve sun sign constellations has the predominance of one of the four principal elements—earth, water, fire, and air.

As the moon comes under the influence of one of these twelve solar constellations in its monthly orbit, the primary element of that constellation (earth, water, air, or fire) has an influence on the moon and, in turn, on all values of plant life.

This gives us a formula for growing according to the stars. For example, when the moon passes through the constellations of Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio, one can observe an influence that enhances the growth of leaves.
