Influence and characteristics of the Moon on October 11, 2021
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 5 lunar day (+).
Life energy is actively transferred from the roots to the leaves and fruits above ground. On this day, all planting and transplanting, grafting, pruning and pinching will be successful. But today it is better to refrain from significant pruning and transplanting of shrubs and trees.
Current phase – Waxing Crescent (+).
This is a good time for sowing plants with above-ground crops. Pruning on this day will have the maximum stimulating effect. Among the favourable types of work at this time are planting and transplanting ornamental, fruit and berry trees and shrubs, rooting cuttings, grafting, watering and fertilising. When working with the roots of plants, try to cause them as little damage as possible.
Influence of the day of the week – Monday (±).
Monday is favoured by the Moon, so rely more on your intuition. Do what your inner voice tells you to do, trust it completely today. If it tells you to weed all the ridges, well, you'll have to do that tedious job, and if it asks you to limit yourself to watering the plants under your control, then you won't have to do anything else.
