Influence and characteristics of the Moon on December 12, 2021
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 9 lunar day (+).
A good day for gardening. Feel free to plant and transplant above-ground crops, loosen and mulch the soil, weed, root and graft cuttings. This is a good time to water and fertilise, but it is better to hold off on pruning.
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.
