Influence and characteristics of the Moon on May 4, 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 29 lunar day (–).
On this day the life energy is concentrated in the roots and at the base of the trunk. If possible, prune trees and shrubs and treat plants for pests and diseases. This is not a good time for planting and transplanting, grafting, deep loosening and other work that can traumatise the roots.
Current phase – NEW MOON at 22:47:00 (–).
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 – Saturday (±).
Saturday is ruled by Saturn, which is responsible for efficiency and learning. This is a good time to solve accumulated problems in the controlled dacha area.
