Influence and characteristics of the Moon on July 5, 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 25 lunar day (±).

On this day, refuse to set any work records; calm and measured gardening with good breaks to rest and contemplate the beauty of the surroundings is welcome. Planting root-bearing plants, applying gentle organic fertilisers, spraying against pests and diseases. Free time can be used to improve the garden. Now is not the time to pick seedlings, actively weed or loosen the soil, or do anything that could damage the roots. Heavy watering is also not recommended.

Current phase – Waning Crescent (±).

The moon is waning, which means that the active energy is beginning to flow into the lower part of the plants. This is a good time to sow crops that produce underground. The high sensitivity of the roots at this time imposes certain restrictions on careless manipulation with them. Pest control, weeding, thinning out of seedlings, pruning of shoots and whiskers, fertilisation with organic substances can be carried out strictly under the roots. It is a good time to harvest, as the fruit will keep longer.

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.
