On May 22 at 12:00 pm the Moon will be in the Waxing Crescent phase in the zodiacal constellation of Cancer ♋, according to the calendar it is the 4 lunar day. The percentage of lunar illumination on this day is about 8%. Moonrise will occur at 5:19 am and sunset at 11:31 pm.
Cancer is considered the most fertile sign of the zodiac. Plants planted on this day will be particularly productive, but due to the large number of delicious and juicy fruits, taller crops will need additional support and support. It is important to note that the harvested crops are not suitable for long term storage and are not suitable for seed. During this time you can be involved in soaking and sowing, loosening, watering, fertilising, grafting, preparing medicinal herbs, canning, drying and other types of processing of harvested berries, vegetables and fruit.
Sap movement activity increases significantly. Seeds soaked today will swell and germinate faster, and sprouts will grow confidently. In the garden you can do the hard and responsible work you have been putting off for a long time.
This is a good time for sowing plants with above-ground crops. Pruning on this day will have the maximum stimulating effect. Among the favourable types of work at this time are planting and transplanting ornamental, fruit and berry trees and shrubs, rooting cuttings, grafting, watering and fertilising. When working with the roots of plants, try to cause them as little damage as possible.
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.
