Influence and characteristics of the Moon on September 12, 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 23 lunar day (+).
Extremely favourable time to work on above-ground parts of plants. Prune trees and shrubs, cut back strawberry bushes, thin out shoots, weed, apply fertiliser, carry out the planned fight against pests and diseases of garden plants. It is a good time to sow plants whose main crop is formed underground. But don't water too much yet.
Current phase – Third Quarter at 12:48:04 am (±).
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 – 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.
