On September 21 at 12:00 pm the Moon will be in the Waning Crescent phase in the zodiacal constellation of Leo ♌, according to the calendar it is the 25 lunar day. The percentage of lunar illumination on this day is about 19%. Moonrise will occur at 12:00 am and sunset at 5:00 pm.
During this time it is advisable to take a break from most gardening activities related to planting and growing plants. The only exception is rejuvenation and shaping pruning. The crop harvested in Leo will keep well for a long time. The ripe fruit can be used to harvest its high quality seeds. It is also a good time to prepare the harvest by canning, drying, etc. It is worth avoiding watering and fertilising with organic and mineral fertilisers.
On this day, refuse to set any work records; calm and measured gardening with good breaks to rest and contemplate the beauty of the surroundings is welcome. Planting root-bearing plants, applying gentle organic fertilisers, spraying against pests and diseases. Free time can be used to improve the garden. Now is not the time to pick seedlings, actively weed or loosen the soil, or do anything that could damage the roots. Heavy watering is also not recommended.
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.
Wednesday is ruled by Mercury. It is considered a good day for any work on the property. It is even possible to make a small margin for the second half of the week.
