Influence and characteristics of the Moon on March 7, 2023
At midday, the Moon is in the Virgo ♍ (±).
Virgo is a sign of low fertility. Seeds sown will develop well and produce plants with a well-developed root system, but the final harvest will be rather mediocre. It is believed that in Virgo, work related to harvesting, transplanting, dividing and pruning of various crops will be successful. This is also a good time for watering, fertilising and preparing medicinal herbs. Soaking and sowing of vegetable seeds should not be done on this day. The exception is soon-to-ripen greens and radishes.
The middle of the day falls on the 16 lunar day (–).
Take a break from active gardening and vegetable gardening. The movement of sap in the plants stops, the breathing of the soil slows down. It is recommended to do some tilling and loosening of beds, weeding. You can apply fertiliser and water moderately, as well as carry out complex treatments against weeds and pests. Do not plant, transplant, pick, cut or prune any plants.
Current phase – FULL MOON at 12:42:49 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 – 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.
