Bare in mind that some people [scientists, really; from the general hobnob conglomerate for research and data] assert that Jupiter is "vast radio electric receiver more powerful than the sun" (128, Joly Biodynamic Wine Demystified).
We've simulated a world without the sun and even gone so far as to project a timeframe for which such simulation might be realized. But, is there a word shared with consideration for a world without Jupiter (to name one example)? (My line of thinking follows the idea that Earth without Jupiter may be akin to the status of the human body without iodine.)
Joly cites research on the relationships shared between earthly and cosmic forces with a narrow investigation on the vineyard itself. He concludes (along with other likeminded biodynamic practitioners) the following alliances:
Fruiting is a response to heat impulses.
Blossoming is a response to light impulses.
Leaf growth is a response to water impulses.
Root growth is a response to earth impulses.
In general, giving the vine too easy and comfortable a time--that is, through too much manure, or excessively clean soils without competition from other plants, or planting too widely per hectare--i.e. always giving the soil too much strength--will nurture the vines' leaves excessively, giving rise to a rather feeble and spiritless wine." (22, Joly)
Feeble and spiritless, hey Joly?...
Indulge.
