Influence and characteristics of the Moon on October 21, 2022
At midday, the Moon is in the Virgo ♍ (±).
Virgo is a sign of low fertility. Seeds sown will develop well and produce plants with a well-developed root system, but the final harvest will be rather mediocre. It is believed that in Virgo, work related to harvesting, transplanting, dividing and pruning of various crops will be successful. This is also a good time for watering, fertilising and preparing medicinal herbs. Soaking and sowing of vegetable seeds should not be done on this day. The exception is soon-to-ripen greens and radishes.
The middle of the day falls on the 26 lunar day (±).
You can prune and graft trees and shrubs, treat plants for pests and diseases, and generally improve the garden. It is obligatory to exclude abundant watering.
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 – Friday (±).
Friday is the day of Venus, which means that dacha women should take care of their beauty. It is better to let your favourite man do the physical work in the garden.
