Influence and characteristics of the Moon on July 3, 2023
At midday, the Moon is in the Capricorn ♑ (+).
Capricorn is a moderately fertile sign. The harvest from crops planted on these days will not be record-breaking, but it will be good enough. The fruits will last for a long time. This period is especially favourable for planting seedlings of trees, shrubs and perennials. They will bear fruit for a very long time. From the whole list of possible works in Capricorn it is better to stop at soaking and sowing seeds, planting seedlings and rootstocks, transplanting, pruning, pinching and grafting of cultivated plants, taking cuttings. All root and leaf feeding will be successful today. If you have free time, you can make preparations for winter. Take special care with the roots of plants at this time; it is better to leave them alone if possible.
The middle of the day falls on the 15 lunar day (+).
Energy on this day is bubbling and often out of control. It is better to concentrate on loosening the soil, making beds, applying organic and mineral fertiliser and harvesting. If possible, avoid picking, pruning, cutting and grafting.
Current phase – FULL MOON (SUPERMOON) at 11:40:29 am (–).
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 – 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.
