Moon phase influence
The young Moon, with its powerful energy, affects all living things, including the world of plants. On the indicated days of the lunar cycle, terrestrial representatives of the flora grow, bloom and bear fruit, since the nutrients and liquid contained in them are directed upward.
On the growing moon, plants should be planted in which the part that is located above the ground and what ripens on it is used for food. It's time to sow flowering and medicinal plants and herbs.
According to the lunar sowing calendar, this period should be devoted to gardening work: planting, pruning, grafting shrubs and fruit trees. Such actions on the growing moon stimulate rapid growth, flowering and fruit setting on plants.
The soil will respond favorably to work aimed at increasing its fertility. While the night star is in the first phase, farmers plow their land plots, apply fertilizers and water. During the period of its activity, the night star makes the plants drink a lot of liquid from the soil.
Cuttings planted at this time will quickly take root, transplanting seedlings and removing unnecessary roots will normally take place. On the growing moon, the root system does not respond to minor damage. At the same time, the danger of the roots dying off remains, so you need to treat them with particular care.
Fruits and greens collected under the influence of the growing moon are characterized by nutritional value and juiciness, but are not suitable for long-term storage. A large amount of juice and nutrients leads to rapid spoilage. Berries, fruits, herbs are recommended to be processed into compotes, wine, juices, canned and dried. Vegetables pickled and pickled at this time are delicious.
The energy of the growing moon has a beneficial effect on:
- planting plants with an edible ground part;
- measures that improve the quality of the soil are weeding, digging, fertilization;
- pruning of branches of trees and shrubs, grafting of plants;
- collection of ripe fruits, vegetables, berries, herbs and medicinal herbs for subsequent salting and drying;
- preparation of vegetables and herbs (conservation, salting, starter culture, drying).
Young Moon negatively affects:
- work with the root system - the death of the plant is possible due to damage to the roots;
- harvesting for the winter.
Influence of the zodiac sign
Gemini is a sign of Air. Its main qualities are dryness and low yield. Therefore, this period is not suitable for sowing seeds or planting seedlings. Growing up, such plants develop the root system as much as possible, but to the detriment of all other parts. As a result, they have a very weak stem that needs support. In the future, the taste of the crop also suffers, and the aroma, if there is, is very weak.
Because of all of the above, it is highly undesirable to plant or transplant plants in this lunar phase. Carefully caring for weakened specimens will take a lot of effort, but will not live up to expectations. When the Moon is in Gemini, watering should be avoided. Despite this, a number of gardening works during this period can and should be performed.

Digging of carrots, beets and other root crops is carried out. The roots of medicinal plants are extracted, ripe fruits are harvested.
