Influence and characteristics of the Moon on August 2, 2021
At midday, the Moon is in the Gemini ♊ (±).
This sign has neutral fertility. Seeds planted today will develop moderately, producing plants that will require a lot of your attention throughout the growing season. Nor can you expect an abundant harvest, but there will be enough for your modest needs. It is believed that in Gemini it is favourable to plant mainly curly and ampel plants, as well as those with whiskers. It is better to stop work on dipping, weeding, thinning out seedlings, loosening, but it is better to wait with watering. It is a good time to harvest crops for long-term storage and fruit for seedlings, to prepare medicinal herbs, and to preserve, pickle and dry vegetables and fruit.
The middle of the day falls on the 24 lunar day (+).
This is a good day for gardening. You can plant and sow plants, prune and graft trees and shrubs, do general landscaping of the property, make the planned fertilisation. If possible, avoid picking seedlings today.
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.
