Influence and characteristics of the Moon on June 21, 2021

At midday, the Moon is in the Scorpio ♏ (+).

A very fertile sign, second only to Cancer in strength. But unlike the latter, plants planted during these days have a stronger stem, and the fruits collected from them are perfectly stored and can be used to obtain quality seeds. When the moon is in Scorpio, soaking and sowing seeds, grafting, watering and feeding plants are favourable. Do not do work such as transplanting, root division, deep loosening and weeding, pruning and pinching.

The middle of the day falls on the 11 lunar day (+).

Today, planting, transplanting, pruning, grafting, rooting and thinning out will be favourable. Cutting and pruning can be done carefully, but it is better to refrain from heavy pruning for the time being. It is advisable to give the plants plenty of water and a moderate amount of organic and mineral fertiliser. At the same time you can loosen and cultivate the soil.

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 – Monday (±).

Monday is favoured by the Moon, so rely more on your intuition. Do what your inner voice tells you to do, trust it completely today. If it tells you to weed all the ridges, well, you'll have to do that tedious job, and if it asks you to limit yourself to watering the plants under your control, then you won't have to do anything else.
