Influence and characteristics of the Moon on May 3, 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 25 lunar day (±).
On this day, refuse to set any work records; calm and measured gardening with good breaks to rest and contemplate the beauty of the surroundings is welcome. Planting root-bearing plants, applying gentle organic fertilisers, spraying against pests and diseases. Free time can be used to improve the garden. Now is not the time to pick seedlings, actively weed or loosen the soil, or do anything that could damage the roots. Heavy watering is also not recommended.
Current phase – Waning Crescent (±).
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.
Influence of the day of the week – Friday (±).
Friday is the day of Venus, which means that dacha women should take care of their beauty. It is better to let your favourite man do the physical work in the garden.
