Influence and characteristics of the Moon on December 9, 2021
At midday, the Moon is in the Aquarius ♒ (–).
Aquarius is considered one of the least fertile signs. Plants planted on this day can become permanent survivors. There is no chance of at least a reasonable yield. However, this is a time when a lot of agro-technical work can be carried out successfully. Weeding, loosening, thinning, pruning and pinching of shoots will be favourable today. You can shape the crowns of fruit and ornamental bushes and prune the whiskers of strawberries. Do not water or feed cultivated plants during Aquarius as there is a high risk of root rot and other root system diseases.
The middle of the day falls on the 6 lunar day (+).
Dedicate today to planting and transplanting, loosening and cultivating the soil, feeding and watering the plants. Do not pick or prune.
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 – 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.
