Influence and characteristics of the Moon on May 11, 2021
At midday, the Moon is in the Taurus ♉ (+).
Taurus is a fertile sign. Plants planted today, after an initial delay in sprouting, will give you confident, vigorous growth and a good crop. However, the fruit will not keep well and will not be suitable for obtaining quality seed. With Taurus, the following types of work are optimal: soaking and sowing, moderate loosening, pinching and pruning, watering, drying, canning and harvesting for long-term storage. However, deep loosening that affects the roots and transplanting plants on this day is better avoided.
The middle of the day falls on the 30 lunar day (±).
This is a better day for pruning trees and shrubs and improving the site. Avoid sowing, transplanting, loosening and dipping. Be very careful when using garden tools.
Current phase – NEW MOON at 19:01:33 (–).
An extremely unfavourable day for working with plants. If possible, devote it to weeding, pest control and various preparatory tasks. A little watering and light tilling of the soil is acceptable.
Influence of the day of the week – Tuesday (+).
Tuesday is ruled by the combative Mars, so an uncompromising fight against pests and weeds is paramount on this day. You can also devote your free time to hard work in the vegetable garden. You will recover much faster than usual.
