Influence and characteristics of the Moon on March 19, 2026
At midday, the Moon is in the Aries ♈ (–).
Aries is an unproductive sign. Plants sown on this day will be weak and bear little fruit. Harvested crops will not keep well and will not produce good seeds. Optimal work in the vegetable garden during Aries: loosening, ploughing, weeding, thinning out seedlings, pinching, treating for diseases and pests, collecting and harvesting seeds and medicinal herbs, drying, preserving and processing the harvested crops. In Aries you can quickly plant greens and salads (radish, parsley), annual flowers and siderats. It is not worth in this period to engage in pruning, shaping, picking, transplanting, rooting and pasynkovanie plants. Watering and fertilising are also not recommended.
The middle of the day falls on the 2 lunar day (+).
After a period of rest, plant sap will begin to rise from the roots to the top of the plant. This is a good time for planting seeds and seedlings, transplanting trees and shrubs, watering and feeding plants, grafting and rooting cuttings. It is better not to do any pruning today.
Current phase – NEW MOON at 01:26:00 (–).
An extremely unfavourable day for working with plants. If possible, devote it to weeding, pest control and various preparatory tasks. A little watering and light tilling of the soil is acceptable.
Influence of the day of the week – Thursday (+).
Thursday is controlled by the giant Jupiter. This is the best day for weeding and transplanting plants. However, any other business will also go well. If you don't have a plan, trust your intuition to tell you what to do first today.
