Influence and characteristics of the Moon on October 3, 2022
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 8 lunar day (–).
The unstable energy of this day imposes certain restrictions on garden and kitchen work. Clear the area of leaves, haulm and other household waste. Remember to water plants well.
Current phase – First Quarter at 12:15:25 am (+).
A favourable time to sow seeds that will produce above-ground fruit plants. It is also a good time to harvest mature crops.
Influence of the day of the week – Monday (±).
Monday is favoured by the Moon, so rely more on your intuition. Do what your inner voice tells you to do, trust it completely today. If it tells you to weed all the ridges, well, you'll have to do that tedious job, and if it asks you to limit yourself to watering the plants under your control, then you won't have to do anything else.
