Influence and characteristics of the Moon on March 18, 2022
At midday, the Moon is in the Libra ♎ (±).
This sign has above average fertility. For this reason, Libra is often classified as one of the most fertile signs of the zodiac. The harvest from crops planted on this day will be moderately abundant and of very high quality. It will also be possible to use it for harvesting your seeds. Libra is the most favourable time to sow ornamental and berry bushes, as well as bulbous flowers. This is a good time for transplanting, feeding and watering plants under the root, rooting cuttings, loosening, weeding, shaping and rejuvenating pruning, pinching. It is not a good time to start grafting or spraying plants, especially in greenhouses.
The middle of the day falls on the 16 lunar day (–).
Take a break from active gardening and vegetable gardening. The movement of sap in the plants stops, the breathing of the soil slows down. It is recommended to do some tilling and loosening of beds, weeding. You can apply fertiliser and water moderately, as well as carry out complex treatments against weeds and pests. Do not plant, transplant, pick, cut or prune any plants.
Current phase – FULL MOON at 7:20:36 am (–).
Today the earth is saturated with lunar energy, but such oversaturation does not benefit plants - seeds and seedlings are not planted during a full moon. On this day you can be busy with weed control, weeding, thinning seedlings, perching and mulching beds. It is a good time to harvest your seeds and medicinal herbs. Salting and drying (but not pickling) harvested crops will also be successful. It is not a good time to prune trees and shrubs, graft or pinch plants.
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.
