Influence and characteristics of the Moon on October 28, 2021
At midday, the Moon is in the Leo ♌ (–).
During this time it is advisable to take a break from most gardening activities related to planting and growing plants. The only exception is rejuvenation and shaping pruning. The crop harvested in Leo will keep well for a long time. The ripe fruit can be used to harvest its high quality seeds. It is also a good time to prepare the harvest by canning, drying, etc. It is worth avoiding watering and fertilising with organic and mineral fertilisers.
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 – Third Quarter at 8:06:43 pm (±).
The middle of the descending lunar cycle is a good time to sow root crops. They will grow safely, will not turn into arrows, and will produce a rich and high-quality harvest.
Influence of the day of the week – Thursday (+).
Thursday is controlled by the giant Jupiter. This is the best day for weeding and transplanting plants. However, any other business will also go well. If you don't have a plan, trust your intuition to tell you what to do first today.
