On September 23 at 12:00 pm the Moon will be in the Waning Gibbous phase in the zodiacal constellation of Aries ♈, according to the calendar it is the 17 lunar day. The percentage of lunar illumination on this day is about 94%. Moonrise will occur at 7:04 pm and sunset at 8:18 am.
Aries is an unproductive sign. Plants sown on this day will be weak and bear little fruit. Harvested crops will not keep well and will not produce good seeds. Optimal work in the vegetable garden during Aries: loosening, ploughing, weeding, thinning out seedlings, pinching, treating for diseases and pests, collecting and harvesting seeds and medicinal herbs, drying, preserving and processing the harvested crops. In Aries you can quickly plant greens and salads (radish, parsley), annual flowers and siderats. It is not worth in this period to engage in pruning, shaping, picking, transplanting, rooting and pasynkovanie plants. Watering and fertilising are also not recommended.
As the gravitational pull of the celestial satellite increases, the juices and vital energy begin their downward movement towards the roots. This is a favourable time for planting and sowing, especially those whose fruits are formed underground. In the meantime, you can do things like thinning out seedlings and weeding. Passing, cutting, pruning and pinching are still not recommended.
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.
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.
