Influence and characteristics of the Moon on October 16, 2022
At midday, the Moon is in the Cancer ♋ (+).
Cancer is considered the most fertile sign of the zodiac. 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 21 lunar day (+).
If possible, try to get rid of anything that might damage the vegetable garden. I warn you that this rule does not apply to your husband and your cat. Devote your free time to cleaning the house, tidying up the greenhouse and the beds. You can concentrate on pruning trees and shrubs and on cutting vegetable plants. Fertilising, especially root fertilising, will be successful today. It is not a good time for picking and pinching vegetables or for heavy watering.
Current phase – Waning Gibbous (±).
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 – 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.
