Influence and characteristics of the Moon on April 12, 2027

At midday, the Moon is in the Cancer ♋ (+).

Cancer is considered the most fertile sign of the zodiac. Plants planted on this day will be particularly productive, but due to the large number of delicious and juicy fruits, taller crops will need additional support and support. It is important to note that the harvested crops are not suitable for long term storage and are not suitable for seed. During this time you can be involved in soaking and sowing, loosening, watering, fertilising, grafting, preparing medicinal herbs, canning, drying and other types of processing of harvested berries, vegetables and fruit.

The middle of the day falls on the 7 lunar day (+).

It is a good day for most gardening tasks. For example, planting and transplanting, watering and fertilising, preparing cuttings, working the soil, preparing seeds, preparing home-made preparations for winter.

Current phase – Waxing Crescent (+).

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 – 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.
