Influence and characteristics of the Moon on August 27, 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 1 lunar day (–).
This day can be used for pest and weed control, cutting out weeds and diseased shoots, and pinching vegetables. Seed collection and harvesting will also be successful. Do not plant, loosen and aerate the soil, graft and oculi. Damaged roots will recover very slowly.
Current phase – NEW MOON at 08:16:54 (–).
An extremely unfavourable day for working with plants. If possible, devote it to weeding, pest control and various preparatory tasks. A little watering and light tilling of the soil is acceptable.
Influence of the day of the week – Saturday (±).
Saturday is ruled by Saturn, which is responsible for efficiency and learning. This is a good time to solve accumulated problems in the controlled dacha area.
