Influence and characteristics of the Moon on May 31, 2019
At midday, the Moon is in the Taurus ♉ (+).
Taurus is a fertile sign. Plants planted today, after an initial delay in sprouting, will give you confident, vigorous growth and a good crop. However, the fruit will not keep well and will not be suitable for obtaining quality seed. With Taurus, the following types of work are optimal: soaking and sowing, moderate loosening, pinching and pruning, watering, drying, canning and harvesting for long-term storage. However, deep loosening that affects the roots and transplanting plants on this day is better avoided.
The middle of the day falls on the 27 lunar day (+).
It is a good time to sow plants that will produce their main crop underground. It is possible to prune fruit and berry and ornamental shrubs, graft trees, actively fight pests and diseases. Be extremely careful when working with the roots of plants, from transplanting and picking, as well as deep loosening is better to refuse completely.
Current phase – Waning Crescent (±).
The moon is waning, which means that the active energy is beginning to flow into the lower part of the plants. This is a good time to sow crops that produce underground. The high sensitivity of the roots at this time imposes certain restrictions on careless manipulation with them. Pest control, weeding, thinning out of seedlings, pruning of shoots and whiskers, fertilisation with organic substances can be carried out strictly under the roots. It is a good time to harvest, as the fruit will keep longer.
Influence of the day of the week – Friday (±).
Friday is the day of Venus, which means that dacha women should take care of their beauty. It is better to let your favourite man do the physical work in the garden.
