Influence and characteristics of the Moon on August 7, 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 7 lunar day (+).
It is a good day for most gardening tasks. For example, planting and transplanting, watering and fertilising, preparing cuttings, working the soil, preparing seeds, preparing home-made preparations for winter.
Current phase – First Quarter at 5:32:41 pm (+).
A favourable time to sow seeds that will produce above-ground fruit plants. It is also a good time to harvest mature crops.
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.
