Influence and characteristics of the Moon on August 6, 2021

At midday, the Moon is in the Cancer ♋ (+).

Plants planted on this day will be particularly productive, but due to the large number of delicious and juicy fruits, taller crops will need additional support and support. It is important to note that the harvested crops are not suitable for long term storage and are not suitable for seed. During this time you can be involved in soaking and sowing, loosening, watering, fertilising, grafting, preparing medicinal herbs, canning, drying and other types of processing of harvested berries, vegetables and fruit.

The middle of the day falls on the 28 lunar day (±).

Fertilise the soil, feed the plants, sow crops that produce underground. Refrain from pruning and especially from uprooting bushes and trees. Watering on this day should be moderate. Try not to traumatise the roots.

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.

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 – Friday (±).

Friday is the day of Venus, which means that dacha women should take care of their beauty. It is better to let your favourite man do the physical work in the garden.
