Influence and characteristics of the Moon on February 26, 2019
At midday, the Moon is in the Sagittarius ♐ (±).
Sagittarius is one of the less fertile signs. Planted crops will grow fairly steadily, but the harvest will be modest. However, the fruit you do get will be fully ripe and can be used to produce your own quality seed. Boldly plant today all plants that are primarily decorative, including seedlings of all trees and shrubs (including fruit and berries). Work on this day can focus on weeding, thinning out seedlings, pruning, cutting back whiskers, digging, loosening and dipping. This is a good time to prepare your produce in advance. During Sagittarius it is better to avoid watering, pruning and pinching. The wounds the plants receive may not heal for a long time and become open gates for various pathogens.
The middle of the day falls on the 22 lunar day (±).
It is a day of peace and tranquillity, so it is better to refuse from Stakhanov labour records today. You can devote your free time to planting root crops and legumes, destroying pests, weeding, trimming the whiskers of garden strawberries, corrective pruning of fruit and berry trees and shrubs. Moderate watering and root fertilising with organic fertilisers is allowed. A good time to make homemade preparations. If possible, avoid picking seedlings and pinching vegetable plants in the greenhouse.
Current phase – Third Quarter at 11:29:40 am (±).
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 – Tuesday (+).
Tuesday is ruled by the combative Mars, so an uncompromising fight against pests and weeds is paramount on this day. You can also devote your free time to hard work in the vegetable garden. You will recover much faster than usual.
