Consult the chart below to see which body parts are associated with which signs and dates.

When is the best time to pickle ears of corn in a churn? I believe the signs are in the head & neck right now.
For the best days for pickling, you can go to the chart on page 240-241 (2018 OFA). On page 240, about the 6th entry, there is a category “Can, pickle, or make sauerkraut.” Our astrologer recommends September 29 and 30, and October 6, 25, 26 as the best times through October 2018. Also found: /bestday/can-pickle-or-make-sauerkraut
Various cooks have different traditions—if you look for a certain Moon’s astrological sign to do pickling, then you can consult the chart on page 239, the Moon’s Astrological Place. For Monday, September 24, 2018, the sign is in Pisces, the feet. On Sep 25, 26, it will be Aries (head) and Sep 27, 28 will be Taurus (neck).
Hope this helps!
