Influence and characteristics of the Moon on February 27, 2023

At midday, the Moon is in the Gemini ♊ (±).

This sign has neutral fertility. Seeds planted today will develop moderately, producing plants that will require a lot of your attention throughout the growing season. Nor can you expect an abundant harvest, but there will be enough for your modest needs. It is believed that in Gemini it is favourable to plant mainly curly and ampel plants, as well as those with whiskers. It is better to stop work on dipping, weeding, thinning out seedlings, loosening, but it is better to wait with watering. It is a good time to harvest crops for long-term storage and fruit for seedlings, to prepare medicinal herbs, and to preserve, pickle and dry vegetables and fruit.

The middle of the day falls on the 9 lunar day (+).

A good day for gardening. Feel free to plant and transplant above-ground crops, loosen and mulch the soil, weed, root and graft cuttings. This is a good time to water and fertilise, but it is better to hold off on pruning.

Current phase – First Quarter at 8:06:37 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 – Monday (±).

Monday is favoured by the Moon, so rely more on your intuition. Do what your inner voice tells you to do, trust it completely today. If it tells you to weed all the ridges, well, you'll have to do that tedious job, and if it asks you to limit yourself to watering the plants under your control, then you won't have to do anything else.
