Influence and characteristics of the Moon on October 13, 2023
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 29 lunar day (–).
On this day the life energy is concentrated in the roots and at the base of the trunk. If possible, prune trees and shrubs and treat plants for pests and diseases. This is not a good time for planting and transplanting, grafting, deep loosening and other work that can traumatise the roots.
Current phase – Waning Crescent (±).
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 – 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.
