Influence and characteristics of the Moon on March 29, 2027

At midday, the Moon is in the Capricorn ♑ (+).

Capricorn is a moderately fertile sign. The harvest from crops planted on these days will not be record-breaking, but it will be good enough. The fruits will last for a long time. This period is especially favourable for planting seedlings of trees, shrubs and perennials. They will bear fruit for a very long time. From the whole list of possible works in Capricorn it is better to stop at soaking and sowing seeds, planting seedlings and rootstocks, transplanting, pruning, pinching and grafting of cultivated plants, taking cuttings. All root and leaf feeding will be successful today. If you have free time, you can make preparations for winter. Take special care with the roots of plants at this time; it is better to leave them alone if possible.

The middle of the day falls on the 21 lunar day (+).

If possible, try to get rid of anything that might damage the vegetable garden. I warn you that this rule does not apply to your husband and your cat. Devote your free time to cleaning the house, tidying up the greenhouse and the beds. You can concentrate on pruning trees and shrubs and on cutting vegetable plants. Fertilising, especially root fertilising, will be successful today. It is not a good time for picking and pinching vegetables or for heavy watering.

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 – Monday (±).

Monday is favoured by the Moon, so rely more on your intuition. Do what your inner voice tells you to do, trust it completely today. If it tells you to weed all the ridges, well, you'll have to do that tedious job, and if it asks you to limit yourself to watering the plants under your control, then you won't have to do anything else.
