The Astrological Guide to Food Forestry

This book has been written with the hope that it inspires its readers to plant a food forest garden. These complex yet naturally simple projects are living examples of how humanity can structure our societies in more sustainable ways. Living in the city disconnects us from the rules of nature. Resources seem to be finite, food is expensive, waste is treated with disgust and dirt is something to get rid of. In reality, all necessary resources are regenerated, food costs no money, waste builds healthy soil and dirt is the foundation of life. Concrete tricks our feet, making us think we are somehow different from the Earth we live upon. Though we are not.

Food forests give city folk the opportunity to witness how interdependence looks in the “wild”. They display how individuals must invest in their own truest expression and bring their best selves to the table of humanity. They guide us to the significance of family and community and how much we actually need one another. These systems show us that differences are necessary for health, that diversity is the key to balance and that we all nourish one another whether we are aware of it or not. The lessons of the urban food forest are vast and offer true solutions to so many of our modern world's structural and cultural challenges. We can build healthier local communities by aligning with the ways of Mother Earth, by  learning how to plant self-sustaining ecosystems and then by planting them.

And we can do all of this with the guidance of Astrology.

In this book you will learn what a food forest is, how to prepare your land to plant one, what plants will work best in your climate and how you can use the signs of the Zodiac get this work done!
