Influence and characteristics of the Moon on May 2, 2028
At midday, the Moon is in the Leo ♌ (–).
During this time it is advisable to take a break from most gardening activities related to planting and growing plants. The only exception is rejuvenation and shaping pruning. The crop harvested in Leo will keep well for a long time. The ripe fruit can be used to harvest its high quality seeds. It is also a good time to prepare the harvest by canning, drying, etc. It is worth avoiding watering and fertilising with organic and mineral fertilisers.
The middle of the day falls on the 9 lunar day (+).
A good day for gardening. Feel free to plant and transplant above-ground crops, loosen and mulch the soil, weed, root and graft cuttings. This is a good time to water and fertilise, but it is better to hold off on pruning.
Current phase – First Quarter at 2:26:33 am (+).
A favourable time to sow seeds that will produce above-ground fruit plants. It is also a good time to harvest mature crops.
Influence of the day of the week – Tuesday (+).
Tuesday is ruled by the combative Mars, so an uncompromising fight against pests and weeds is paramount on this day. You can also devote your free time to hard work in the vegetable garden. You will recover much faster than usual.
