Influence and characteristics of the Moon on April 15, 2021
At midday, the Moon is in the Gemini ♊ (±).
This sign has neutral fertility. Seeds planted today will develop moderately, producing plants that will require a lot of your attention throughout the growing season. Nor can you expect an abundant harvest, but there will be enough for your modest needs. It is believed that in Gemini it is favourable to plant mainly curly and ampel plants, as well as those with whiskers. It is better to stop work on dipping, weeding, thinning out seedlings, loosening, but it is better to wait with watering. It is a good time to harvest crops for long-term storage and fruit for seedlings, to prepare medicinal herbs, and to preserve, pickle and dry vegetables and fruit.
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 – 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.
