Influence and characteristics of the Moon on June 4, 2026
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 19 lunar day (+).
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.
Current phase – Waning Gibbous (±).
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 – 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.
