Influence and characteristics of the Moon on March 17, 2028
At midday, the Moon is in the Sagittarius ♐ (±).
Sagittarius is one of the less fertile signs. Planted crops will grow fairly steadily, but the harvest will be modest. However, the fruit you do get will be fully ripe and can be used to produce your own quality seed. Boldly plant today all plants that are primarily decorative, including seedlings of all trees and shrubs (including fruit and berries). Work on this day can focus on weeding, thinning out seedlings, pruning, cutting back whiskers, digging, loosening and dipping. This is a good time to prepare your produce in advance. During Sagittarius it is better to avoid watering, pruning and pinching. The wounds the plants receive may not heal for a long time and become open gates for various pathogens.
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 – Third Quarter at 11:24:58 pm (±).
The middle of the descending lunar cycle is a good time to sow root crops. They will grow safely, will not turn into arrows, and will produce a rich and high-quality harvest.
Influence of the day of the week – Friday (±).
Friday is the day of Venus, which means that dacha women should take care of their beauty. It is better to let your favourite man do the physical work in the garden.
