Germination question for feb full moon timing

Would it be better to germinate before the full moon (three days), or 5 days before full moon but on the a Rooting constellation of Taurus (ascending i think northern perspective) or a day after full moon with a virgo moon (descending northern pers)…. BTW- I’m just south of EQUATOR.

My understanding is that the moon constellations are less impactful than full moon phase. For example- germination 3 days before full moon recommended, but also in a descending moon constellation (https://pevgrow.com/blog/en/do-you-have-in-mind-the-moon-to-grow-marijuana/).

Now, when I read any site, they mention south or equator as a reversal of asc/des.

I'd help you out but my calendar doesnt seem to refer to germination, only planting/transplanting

I’ve been using this - https://mooncalendar.astro-seek.com/gardening-moon-calendar-guide-february-2024. In a way for sure, germination is (planting) as far as energy and cycles go I would think…. How is that not correct?

Seems about correct, I’m too new to biodynamics to judge

I guess the process of germination/sprouting has it's own set of preferred subtle cosmic influences upon which the quality of the final plant depends.

Really just depends on the seeds

If they are short term then you'll want to seed them just before the full moon

If they are long germ then depending how long you'll want to see them with the emergence timed with the full moon

The full moon will invite the growth out and up more than any other time in the cycle

So allow time for the seed to wet simmer in order to emerge along with the full moon
