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.

Extremely favourable time to work on above-ground parts of plants. Prune trees and shrubs, cut back strawberry bushes, thin out shoots, weed, apply fertiliser, carry out the planned fight against pests and diseases of garden plants. It is a good time to sow plants whose main crop is formed underground. But don't water too much yet.
Current phase – Third Quarter at 3:32:55 am (±).
The middle of the descending lunar cycle is a good time to sow root crops. They will grow safely, will not turn into arrows, and will produce a rich and high-quality harvest.
Influence of the day of the week – Thursday (+).
Thursday is controlled by the giant Jupiter. This is the best day for weeding and transplanting plants. However, any other business will also go well. If you don't have a plan, trust your intuition to tell you what to do first today.
