Influence and characteristics of the Moon on October 21, 2019
At midday, the Moon is in the Cancer ♋ (+).
Cancer is considered the most fertile sign of the zodiac. Plants planted on this day will be particularly productive, but due to the large number of delicious and juicy fruits, taller crops will need additional support and support. It is important to note that the harvested crops are not suitable for long term storage and are not suitable for seed. During this time you can be involved in soaking and sowing, loosening, watering, fertilising, grafting, preparing medicinal herbs, canning, drying and other types of processing of harvested berries, vegetables and fruit.
The middle of the day falls on the 23 lunar day (+).
Extremely favourable time to work on above-ground parts of plants. Prune trees and shrubs, cut back strawberry bushes, thin out shoots, weed, apply fertiliser, carry out the planned fight against pests and diseases of garden plants. It is a good time to sow plants whose main crop is formed underground. But don't water too much yet.
Current phase – Third Quarter at 12:41:36 pm (±).
The middle of the descending lunar cycle is a good time to sow root crops. They will grow safely, will not turn into arrows, and will produce a rich and high-quality harvest.
Influence of the day of the week – Monday (±).
Monday is favoured by the Moon, so rely more on your intuition. Do what your inner voice tells you to do, trust it completely today. If it tells you to weed all the ridges, well, you'll have to do that tedious job, and if it asks you to limit yourself to watering the plants under your control, then you won't have to do anything else.
