Agricultural astrology, a type of electional astrology for gardening and for horticulture, advises scheduling the planting, cultivating and harvesting of crops based on moon phases and on astrological signs. Agricultural astrology, a pseudoscience, is often referred to as "planting by the signs" because of its reliance on astrological signs for planting, cultivating and harvesting.^{[1]: 11–12}

The Old Farmer's Almanac regularly features a "planting by the signs" section.^[1]: 13
