Influence and characteristics of the Moon on October 22, 2023
At midday, the Moon is in the Aquarius ♒ (–).
Aquarius is considered one of the least fertile signs. Plants planted on this day can become permanent survivors. There is no chance of at least a reasonable yield. However, this is a time when a lot of agro-technical work can be carried out successfully. Weeding, loosening, thinning, pruning and pinching of shoots will be favourable today. You can shape the crowns of fruit and ornamental bushes and prune the whiskers of strawberries. Do not water or feed cultivated plants during Aquarius as there is a high risk of root rot and other root system diseases.
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 3:30:12 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 – 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.
