Influence and characteristics of the Moon on July 24, 2019
At midday, the Moon is in the Aries ♈ (–).
Aries is an unproductive sign. Plants sown on this day will be weak and bear little fruit. Harvested crops will not keep well and will not produce good seeds. Optimal work in the vegetable garden during Aries: loosening, ploughing, weeding, thinning out seedlings, pinching, treating for diseases and pests, collecting and harvesting seeds and medicinal herbs, drying, preserving and processing the harvested crops. In Aries you can quickly plant greens and salads (radish, parsley), annual flowers and siderats. It is not worth in this period to engage in pruning, shaping, picking, transplanting, rooting and pasynkovanie plants. Watering and fertilising are also not recommended.
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 – Waning Gibbous (±).
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 – Wednesday (+).
Wednesday is ruled by Mercury. It is considered a good day for any work on the property. It is even possible to make a small margin for the second half of the week.
