On February 28 at 12:00 pm the Moon will be in the Waning Gibbous phase in the zodiacal constellation of Libra ♎, according to the calendar it is the 19 lunar day. The percentage of lunar illumination on this day is about 87%. Moonrise will occur at 10:13 pm and sunset at 8:57 am.
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.
Above-ground shoots are now tolerant of minor damage, but roots react acutely to any intervention. It is therefore safe to prune, pluck, graze, pinch and graft plants, but be more careful when weeding and thinning seedlings, and refrain from deep loosening, planting and transplanting plants. Watering and moderate feeding with organic fertiliser is acceptable.
The moon is waning, which means that the active energy is beginning to flow into the lower part of the plants. This is a good time to sow crops that produce underground. The high sensitivity of the roots at this time imposes certain restrictions on careless manipulation with them. Pest control, weeding, thinning out of seedlings, pruning of shoots and whiskers, fertilisation with organic substances can be carried out strictly under the roots. It is a good time to harvest, as the fruit will keep longer.
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.
