Influence and characteristics of the Moon on December 8, 2024

At midday, the Moon is in the Pisces ♓ (+).

It is considered one of the most productive signs of the lunar cycle. Harvests will be abundant, as in Cancer, but stored crops will not last very long. In Pisces it is better to deal with sowing and transplanting any plants, planting on a permanent place of grown seedlings, loosening, moderate rooting and watering. Do not treat plants from diseases and pests, rejuvenating and corrective pruning.

The middle of the day falls on the 8 lunar day ().

The unstable energy of this day imposes certain restrictions on garden and kitchen work. Clear the area of leaves, haulm and other household waste. Remember to water plants well.

Current phase – First Quarter at 3:27:42 pm (+).

A favourable time to sow seeds that will produce above-ground fruit plants. It is also a good time to harvest mature crops.
