Influence and characteristics of the Moon on July 21, 2021
At midday, the Moon is in the Sagittarius ♐ (±).
Sagittarius is one of the less fertile signs. Planted crops will grow fairly steadily, but the harvest will be modest. However, the fruit you do get will be fully ripe and can be used to produce your own quality seed. Boldly plant today all plants that are primarily decorative, including seedlings of all trees and shrubs (including fruit and berries). Work on this day can focus on weeding, thinning out seedlings, pruning, cutting back whiskers, digging, loosening and dipping. This is a good time to prepare your produce in advance. During Sagittarius it is better to avoid watering, pruning and pinching. The wounds the plants receive may not heal for a long time and become open gates for various pathogens.
The middle of the day falls on the 12 lunar day (±).
Favourable time for gardening. Sowing and planting plants that are more interested in tops than roots. Work the soil, remove weeds, thin out seedlings, pick seedlings, prune and pinch vegetable crops in the greenhouse. Do not yet prune fruit trees, ornamental shrubs, fruit and berry bushes.
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 – Wednesday (+).
Wednesday is ruled by Mercury. It is considered a good day for any work on the property. It is even possible to make a small margin for the second half of the week.
