Influence and characteristics of the Moon on February 12, 2028
At midday, the Moon is in the Virgo ♍ (±).
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.
The middle of the day falls on the 17 lunar day (+).
As the gravitational pull of the celestial satellite increases, the juices and vital energy begin their downward movement towards the roots. This is a favourable time for planting and sowing, especially those whose fruits are formed underground. In the meantime, you can do things like thinning out seedlings and weeding. Passing, cutting, pruning and pinching are still not recommended.
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 – Saturday (±).
Saturday is ruled by Saturn, which is responsible for efficiency and learning. This is a good time to solve accumulated problems in the controlled dacha area.
