Influence and characteristics of the Moon on August 22, 2021
At midday, the Moon is in the Aquarius ♒ (–).
Aquarius is considered one of the least fertile signs. Plants planted on this day can become permanent survivors. There is no chance of at least a reasonable yield. However, this is a time when a lot of agro-technical work can be carried out successfully. Weeding, loosening, thinning, pruning and pinching of shoots will be favourable today. You can shape the crowns of fruit and ornamental bushes and prune the whiskers of strawberries. Do not water or feed cultivated plants during Aquarius as there is a high risk of root rot and other root system diseases.
The middle of the day falls on the 14 lunar day (+).
This is an energetically rich day when almost everything will work out. All work with the earth, planting and transplanting will be successful. Take your time with harvesting. It is worth waiting to cut, pick, pinch and prune plants. It's not a good time to graft.
Current phase – FULL MOON at 12:02:14 pm (–).
Today the earth is saturated with lunar energy, but such oversaturation does not benefit plants - seeds and seedlings are not planted during a full moon. On this day you can be busy with weed control, weeding, thinning seedlings, perching and mulching beds. It is a good time to harvest your seeds and medicinal herbs. Salting and drying (but not pickling) harvested crops will also be successful. It is not a good time to prune trees and shrubs, graft or pinch plants.
Influence of the day of the week – Sunday (±).
Sunday is under the patronage of the sun. This is the time to rest from pressing matters and spend your free time in joy and fun, in the circle of family, friends and like-minded people. In the garden you can do light work that does not require much effort or energy.
