On October 26 at 12:00 pm the Moon will be in the Waning Crescent phase in the zodiacal constellation of Virgo ♍, according to the calendar it is the 27 lunar day. The percentage of lunar illumination on this day is about 13%. Moonrise will occur at 4:30 am and sunset at 4:47 pm.
Virgo is a sign of low fertility. Seeds sown will develop well and produce plants with a well-developed root system, but the final harvest will be rather mediocre. It is believed that in Virgo, work related to harvesting, transplanting, dividing and pruning of various crops will be successful. This is also a good time for watering, fertilising and preparing medicinal herbs. Soaking and sowing of vegetable seeds should not be done on this day. The exception is soon-to-ripen greens and radishes.
It is a good time to sow plants that will produce their main crop underground. It is possible to prune fruit and berry and ornamental shrubs, graft trees, actively fight pests and diseases. Be extremely careful when working with the roots of plants, from transplanting and picking, as well as deep loosening is better to refuse completely.
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.
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.
