Influence and characteristics of the Moon on September 16, 2021
At midday, the Moon is in the Capricorn ♑ (+).
Capricorn is a moderately fertile sign. The harvest from crops planted on these days will not be record-breaking, but it will be good enough. The fruits will last for a long time. This period is especially favourable for planting seedlings of trees, shrubs and perennials. They will bear fruit for a very long time. From the whole list of possible works in Capricorn it is better to stop at soaking and sowing seeds, planting seedlings and rootstocks, transplanting, pruning, pinching and grafting of cultivated plants, taking cuttings. All root and leaf feeding will be successful today. If you have free time, you can make preparations for winter. Take special care with the roots of plants at this time; it is better to leave them alone if possible.
The middle of the day falls on the 10 lunar day (+).
It is a very favourable day for planting and transplanting trees and shrubs in the garden, also for planting seeds, seedlings and various saplings. Prepare, root and graft cuttings, actively water and fertilise garden plants, but do not rush into cutting and pruning.
Current phase – Waxing Gibbous (+).
This is a good time for sowing plants with above-ground crops. Pruning on this day will have the maximum stimulating effect. Among the favourable types of work at this time are planting and transplanting ornamental, fruit and berry trees and shrubs, rooting cuttings, grafting, watering and fertilising. When working with the roots of plants, try to cause them as little damage as possible.
Influence of the day of the week – Thursday (+).
Thursday is controlled by the giant Jupiter. This is the best day for weeding and transplanting plants. However, any other business will also go well. If you don't have a plan, trust your intuition to tell you what to do first today.
