Influence and characteristics of the Moon on October 28, 2023
At midday, the Moon is in the Taurus ♉ (+).
Taurus is a fertile sign. Plants planted today, after an initial delay in sprouting, will give you confident, vigorous growth and a good crop. However, the fruit will not keep well and will not be suitable for obtaining quality seed. With Taurus, the following types of work are optimal: soaking and sowing, moderate loosening, pinching and pruning, watering, drying, canning and harvesting for long-term storage. However, deep loosening that affects the roots and transplanting plants on this day is better avoided.
The middle of the day falls on the 14 lunar day (+).
This is an energetically rich day when almost everything will work out. All work with the earth, planting and transplanting will be successful. Take your time with harvesting. It is worth waiting to cut, pick, pinch and prune plants. It's not a good time to graft.
Current phase – FULL MOON at 8:24:27 pm (–).
Today the earth is saturated with lunar energy, but such oversaturation does not benefit plants - seeds and seedlings are not planted during a full moon. On this day you can be busy with weed control, weeding, thinning seedlings, perching and mulching beds. It is a good time to harvest your seeds and medicinal herbs. Salting and drying (but not pickling) harvested crops will also be successful. It is not a good time to prune trees and shrubs, graft or pinch plants.
Influence of the day of the week – Saturday (±).
Saturday is ruled by Saturn, which is responsible for efficiency and learning. This is a good time to solve accumulated problems in the controlled dacha area.
