Influence and characteristics of the Moon on July 13, 2021
At midday, the Moon is in the Virgo ♍ (±).
Virgo is a sign of low fertility. Seeds sown will develop well and produce plants with a well-developed root system, but the final harvest will be rather mediocre. It is believed that in Virgo, work related to harvesting, transplanting, dividing and pruning of various crops will be successful. This is also a good time for watering, fertilising and preparing medicinal herbs. Soaking and sowing of vegetable seeds should not be done on this day. The exception is soon-to-ripen greens and radishes.
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 – 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.
