Influence and characteristics of the Moon on December 15, 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 22 lunar day (±).
It is a day of peace and tranquillity, so it is better to refuse from Stakhanov labour records today. You can devote your free time to planting root crops and legumes, destroying pests, weeding, trimming the whiskers of garden strawberries, corrective pruning of fruit and berry trees and shrubs. Moderate watering and root fertilising with organic fertilisers is allowed. A good time to make homemade preparations. If possible, avoid picking seedlings and pinching vegetable plants in the greenhouse.
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 – 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.
