Influence and characteristics of the Moon on August 8, 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 30 lunar day (±).
This is a better day for pruning trees and shrubs and improving the site. Avoid sowing, transplanting, loosening and dipping. Be very careful when using garden tools.
Current phase – NEW MOON at 13:50:46 (–).
An extremely unfavourable day for working with plants. If possible, devote it to weeding, pest control and various preparatory tasks. A little watering and light tilling of the soil is acceptable.
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.
