Influence and characteristics of the Moon on August 9, 2025
At midday, the Moon is in the Aquarius ♒ (–).
Aquarius is considered one of the least fertile signs. Plants planted on this day can become permanent survivors. There is no chance of at least a reasonable yield. However, this is a time when a lot of agro-technical work can be carried out successfully. Weeding, loosening, thinning, pruning and pinching of shoots will be favourable today. You can shape the crowns of fruit and ornamental bushes and prune the whiskers of strawberries. Do not water or feed cultivated plants during Aquarius as there is a high risk of root rot and other root system diseases.
The middle of the day falls on the 16 lunar day (–).
Take a break from active gardening and vegetable gardening. The movement of sap in the plants stops, the breathing of the soil slows down. It is recommended to do some tilling and loosening of beds, weeding. You can apply fertiliser and water moderately, as well as carry out complex treatments against weeds and pests. Do not plant, transplant, pick, cut or prune any plants.
Current phase – FULL MOON at 7:57:07 am (–).
Today the earth is saturated with lunar energy, but such oversaturation does not benefit plants - seeds and seedlings are not planted during a full moon. On this day you can be busy with weed control, weeding, thinning seedlings, perching and mulching beds. It is a good time to harvest your seeds and medicinal herbs. Salting and drying (but not pickling) harvested crops will also be successful. It is not a good time to prune trees and shrubs, graft or pinch plants.
Influence of the day of the week – Saturday (±).
Saturday is ruled by Saturn, which is responsible for efficiency and learning. This is a good time to solve accumulated problems in the controlled dacha area.
