This sign has above average fertility. For this reason, Libra is often classified as one of the most fertile signs of the zodiac. The harvest from crops planted on this day will be moderately abundant and of very high quality. It will also be possible to use it for harvesting your seeds. Libra is the most favourable time to sow ornamental and berry bushes, as well as bulbous flowers. This is a good time for transplanting, feeding and watering plants under the root, rooting cuttings, loosening, weeding, shaping and rejuvenating pruning, pinching. It is not a good time to start grafting or spraying plants, especially in greenhouses.
Dedicate today to planting and transplanting, loosening and cultivating the soil, feeding and watering the plants. Do not pick or prune.
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.
