Influence and characteristics of the Moon on June 28, 2023
At midday, the Moon is in the Scorpio ♏ (+).
A very fertile sign, second only to Cancer in strength. But unlike the latter, plants planted during these days have a stronger stem, and the fruits collected from them are perfectly stored and can be used to obtain quality seeds. When the moon is in Scorpio, soaking and sowing seeds, grafting, watering and feeding plants are favourable. Do not do work such as transplanting, root division, deep loosening and weeding, pruning and pinching.
The middle of the day falls on the 10 lunar day (+).
It is a very favourable day for planting and transplanting trees and shrubs in the garden, also for planting seeds, seedlings and various saplings. Prepare, root and graft cuttings, actively water and fertilise garden plants, but do not rush into cutting and pruning.
Current phase – Waxing Gibbous (+).
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.
Influence of the day of the week – Wednesday (+).
Wednesday is ruled by Mercury. It is considered a good day for any work on the property. It is even possible to make a small margin for the second half of the week.
