Influence and characteristics of the Moon on October 17, 2021
At midday, the Moon is in the Pisces ♓ (+).
It is considered one of the most productive signs of the lunar cycle. Harvests will be abundant, as in Cancer, but stored crops will not last very long. In Pisces it is better to deal with sowing and transplanting any plants, planting on a permanent place of grown seedlings, loosening, moderate rooting and watering. Do not treat plants from diseases and pests, rejuvenating and corrective pruning.
The middle of the day falls on the 11 lunar day (+).
Today, planting, transplanting, pruning, grafting, rooting and thinning out will be favourable. Cutting and pruning can be done carefully, but it is better to refrain from heavy pruning for the time being. It is advisable to give the plants plenty of water and a moderate amount of organic and mineral fertiliser. At the same time you can loosen and cultivate the soil.
Current phase – Waxing Gibbous (+).
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 – Sunday (±).
Sunday is under the patronage of the sun. This is the time to rest from pressing matters and spend your free time in joy and fun, in the circle of family, friends and like-minded people. In the garden you can do light work that does not require much effort or energy.
