On March 19 at 12:00 pm the Moon will be in the Waning Crescent phase in the zodiacal constellation of Aquarius ♒, according to the calendar it is the 28 lunar day. The percentage of lunar illumination on this day is about 8%. Moonrise will occur at 5:43 am and sunset at 3:03 pm.
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.
Fertilise the soil, feed the plants, sow crops that produce underground. Refrain from pruning and especially from uprooting bushes and trees. Watering on this day should be moderate. Try not to traumatise the roots.
The moon is waning, which means that the active energy is beginning to flow into the lower part of the plants. This is a good time to sow crops that produce underground. The high sensitivity of the roots at this time imposes certain restrictions on careless manipulation with them. Pest control, weeding, thinning out of seedlings, pruning of shoots and whiskers, fertilisation with organic substances can be carried out strictly under the roots. It is a good time to harvest, as the fruit will keep longer.
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.
