On January 27 at 12:00 pm the Moon will be in the Waxing Gibbous phase in the zodiacal constellation of Taurus ♉, according to the calendar it is the 10 lunar day. The percentage of lunar illumination on this day is about 63%. Moonrise will occur at 10:40 am and sunset at 2:38 am.
Taurus is a fertile sign. Plants planted today, after an initial delay in sprouting, will give you confident, vigorous growth and a good crop. However, the fruit will not keep well and will not be suitable for obtaining quality seed. With Taurus, the following types of work are optimal: soaking and sowing, moderate loosening, pinching and pruning, watering, drying, canning and harvesting for long-term storage. However, deep loosening that affects the roots and transplanting plants on this day is better avoided.
It is a very favourable day for planting and transplanting trees and shrubs in the garden, also for planting seeds, seedlings and various saplings. Prepare, root and graft cuttings, actively water and fertilise garden plants, but do not rush into cutting and pruning.
This is a good time for sowing plants with above-ground crops. Pruning on this day will have the maximum stimulating effect. Among the favourable types of work at this time are planting and transplanting ornamental, fruit and berry trees and shrubs, rooting cuttings, grafting, watering and fertilising. When working with the roots of plants, try to cause them as little damage as possible.
Tuesday is ruled by the combative Mars, so an uncompromising fight against pests and weeds is paramount on this day. You can also devote your free time to hard work in the vegetable garden. You will recover much faster than usual.
