Influence and characteristics of the Moon on August 5, 2022

At midday, the Moon is in the Scorpio ♏ (+).

A very fertile sign, second only to Cancer in strength. But unlike the latter, plants planted during these days have a stronger stem, and the fruits collected from them are perfectly stored and can be used to obtain quality seeds. When the moon is in Scorpio, soaking and sowing seeds, grafting, watering and feeding plants are favourable. Do not do work such as transplanting, root division, deep loosening and weeding, pruning and pinching.

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 11:07:30 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 – 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.
