Influence and characteristics of the Moon on December 9, 2027
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 12 lunar day (±).
Favourable time for gardening. Sowing and planting plants that are more interested in tops than roots. Work the soil, remove weeds, thin out seedlings, pick seedlings, prune and pinch vegetable crops in the greenhouse. Do not yet prune fruit trees, ornamental shrubs, fruit and berry bushes.
Current phase – Waxing Gibbous (+).
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.
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.
