Influence and characteristics of the Moon on May 24, 2028

At midday, the Moon is in the Gemini ♊ (±).

This sign has neutral fertility. Seeds planted today will develop moderately, producing plants that will require a lot of your attention throughout the growing season. Nor can you expect an abundant harvest, but there will be enough for your modest needs. It is believed that in Gemini it is favourable to plant mainly curly and ampel plants, as well as those with whiskers. It is better to stop work on dipping, weeding, thinning out seedlings, loosening, but it is better to wait with watering. It is a good time to harvest crops for long-term storage and fruit for seedlings, to prepare medicinal herbs, and to preserve, pickle and dry vegetables and fruit.

The middle of the day falls on the 1 lunar day ().

This day can be used for pest and weed control, cutting out weeds and diseased shoots, and pinching vegetables. Seed collection and harvesting will also be successful. Do not plant, loosen and aerate the soil, graft and oculi. Damaged roots will recover very slowly.

Current phase – NEW MOON at 08:17:54 ().

An extremely unfavourable day for working with plants. If possible, devote it to weeding, pest control and various preparatory tasks. A little watering and light tilling of the soil is acceptable.

Influence of the day of the week – Wednesday (+).

Wednesday is ruled by Mercury. It is considered a good day for any work on the property. It is even possible to make a small margin for the second half of the week.
