Influence and characteristics of the Moon on December 19, 2023
At midday, the Moon is in the Pisces ♓ (+).
It is considered one of the most productive signs of the lunar cycle. Harvests will be abundant, as in Cancer, but stored crops will not last very long. In Pisces it is better to deal with sowing and transplanting any plants, planting on a permanent place of grown seedlings, loosening, moderate rooting and watering. Do not treat plants from diseases and pests, rejuvenating and corrective pruning.
The middle of the day falls on the 7 lunar day (+).
It is a good day for most gardening tasks. For example, planting and transplanting, watering and fertilising, preparing cuttings, working the soil, preparing seeds, preparing home-made preparations for winter.
Current phase – First Quarter at 6:40:27 pm (+).
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 – Tuesday (+).
Tuesday is ruled by the combative Mars, so an uncompromising fight against pests and weeds is paramount on this day. You can also devote your free time to hard work in the vegetable garden. You will recover much faster than usual.
