On May 11 at 12:00 pm the Moon will be in the Waning Gibbous phase in the zodiacal constellation of Sagittarius ♐, according to the calendar it is the 17 lunar day. The percentage of lunar illumination on this day is about 92%. Moonrise will occur at 11:11 pm and sunset at 5:33 am.
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.
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.
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.
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.
