Influence and characteristics of the Moon on October 28, 2019
At midday, the Moon is in the Scorpio ♏ (+).
A very fertile sign, second only to Cancer in strength. But unlike the latter, plants planted during these days have a stronger stem, and the fruits collected from them are perfectly stored and can be used to obtain quality seeds. When the moon is in Scorpio, soaking and sowing seeds, grafting, watering and feeding plants are favourable. Do not do work such as transplanting, root division, deep loosening and weeding, pruning and pinching.
The middle of the day falls on the 2 lunar day (+).
After a period of rest, plant sap will begin to rise from the roots to the top of the plant. This is a good time for planting seeds and seedlings, transplanting trees and shrubs, watering and feeding plants, grafting and rooting cuttings. It is better not to do any pruning today.
Current phase – NEW MOON at 03:40:14 (–).
An extremely unfavourable day for working with plants. If possible, devote it to weeding, pest control and various preparatory tasks. A little watering and light tilling of the soil is acceptable.
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.
