Knowing that the Moon influences the tides with its movement, For centuries, human beings have observed its influence on other vital processes.especially the development of plants. These observations have traditionally allowed farmers and country people organize your tasks in a more harmonious way with the lunar cycles, in order to sow at the right time, optimize time and provide your crops with the most effective care.
The same calculations that were reflected in the lunar calendar used for this purpose have also been used to determine the best times to carry out other types of tasks related to personal care or home care.
Here we collect the tradition of the biodynamic lunar calendar, developed by Maria Thun and published every year by the Rudolf Steiner publishing house. According to the experts who create this calendar, we can determine the lunar influence depending on the lunar phase, the height of the Moon as it passes through the different constellations, the ascending or descending trajectory of its orbit or the movement of other celestial bodies that populate our celestial vault.
With these elements we can talk about what in biodynamic agriculture is known as root periods, leaf periods, flower periods or fruit periods. Some of these periods, depending on the orbit of the moon, coincide with the most conducive to cutting hair or shaving. We tell you about it below and give you the dates on which they occur in the lunar calendar for June 2025, so you can organize yourself.

Root periods occur when The Moon passes at the height of the earth constellations. The ones conducive to hair cutting because they stimulate strong growth are only those that coincide with the descending orbit of the Moon and we mark them on violet color in our lunar calendar.

Planting them, stimulating their growth by removing the soil, pruning them or transplanting them will give better results. They are also good days to harvest those roots and tubers if they are ready to harvest.
Other root days of June 2025, but with the Moon in ascending orbit, are Sunday the 15th and the morning of Monday the 16th, until 2 p.m. Also on Monday the 23rd from 8 p.m. and all day Tuesday the 24th.
