Influence and characteristics of the Moon on August 7, 2021
At midday, the Moon is in the Leo ♌ (–).
During this time it is advisable to take a break from most gardening activities related to planting and growing plants. The only exception is rejuvenation and shaping pruning. The crop harvested in Leo will keep well for a long time. The ripe fruit can be used to harvest its high quality seeds. It is also a good time to prepare the harvest by canning, drying, etc. It is worth avoiding watering and fertilising with organic and mineral fertilisers.
The middle of the day falls on the 29 lunar day (–).
On this day the life energy is concentrated in the roots and at the base of the trunk. If possible, prune trees and shrubs and treat plants for pests and diseases. This is not a good time for planting and transplanting, grafting, deep loosening and other work that can 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. 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 – Saturday (±).
Saturday is ruled by Saturn, which is responsible for efficiency and learning. This is a good time to solve accumulated problems in the controlled dacha area.
