Influence and characteristics of the Moon on October 15, 2023
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 2 lunar day (+).
After a period of rest, plant sap will begin to rise from the roots to the top of the plant. This is a good time for planting seeds and seedlings, transplanting trees and shrubs, watering and feeding plants, grafting and rooting cuttings. It is better not to do any pruning today.
Current phase – Waxing Crescent (+).
This is a good time for sowing plants with above-ground crops. Pruning on this day will have the maximum stimulating effect. Among the favourable types of work at this time are planting and transplanting ornamental, fruit and berry trees and shrubs, rooting cuttings, grafting, watering and fertilising. When working with the roots of plants, try to cause them as little damage as possible.
Influence of the day of the week – Sunday (±).
Sunday is under the patronage of the sun. This is the time to rest from pressing matters and spend your free time in joy and fun, in the circle of family, friends and like-minded people. In the garden you can do light work that does not require much effort or energy.
