The influence of a lunar day
On this day, the Moon does not stop its influence on the vital energy of plants, therefore, 8 lunar days have a beneficial effect on the accumulation of strength by trees and other green spaces.
It is believed that this day is already approaching the border between the phases of the moon. For this reason, it is better not to plan serious events in the garden or vegetable garden. The day is favorable for work related to cleaning and removing everything superfluous and unnecessary from the site. The energy between the moon phases is very unstable, therefore, it is not recommended to transplant or plant any plants without urgent need - this will lead to their poor growth, deterioration of flowering and a decrease in the yield of vegetable crops.
Under the influence of lunar attraction, the sap of the Earth continues to rise to the tops of the plants, so they respond well to watering and wait for top dressing. Useful substances from the soil and water are sent to the stems for laying healthy seeds and fruits of plants. The day is suitable for performing various earthworks, in particular, loosening and adding organic fertilizers. Such events provide an excellent basis for the active growth of horticultural and horticultural crops.
It is recommended to carry out work on pruning fruit trees and bushes: such work will not be harmful and will be successful.
On the 8th day of the moon, it is better not to harvest any fruits - it will be very difficult to save it.
Influence of the day of the week
Saturday is one of the days worth dedicating to gardening and gardening.Despite the presence of the heavy energy of Saturn, on Saturday it will be possible to work effectively on the site: to put it in order and do everything that was not possible before.
There are a number of jobs that are recommended for this day.
- You can work on the ground: sowing garden crops, garden plants, weeding them.
- It is also worth planning weed control for this day - and the land will remain clean and well-groomed for a long time.
- Saturday in the summer or fall is a great day for harvesting. The harvested vegetables and fruits will be stored for a long time, remaining fresh and tasty.
- The day is also suitable for preparing the land for the next season.
- You also need to start feeding the soil, improving its quality.
- Pest control will bring excellent results, as well as disease control.
Negative influence
For landscaping, arranging flower beds, flower beds, a lawn, it is worth choosing another day of the week, since this type of activity will be negatively affected by the heavy energy of Saturn.
Moon phase influence
The first quarter of this period is considered the most appropriate time to stimulate organs above the ground, in the vegetative part of the plant. Natural juices and the so-called forces of the earth in the first quarter are concentrated in it, which allows the leaves and stems to actively develop. It is worth thinking about sowing cereals or planting plants whose fruits ripen inside the soil. This stage is considered suitable for the cultivation of medicinal herbs.
Drip application of liquid and fertilizer in low concentrations will be beneficial for your garden and garden flora. And for more intensive growth, it is worthwhile to do the pinching and removal of dying leaves. But you should not engage in aesthetics on the lawn: the grass on the growing moon will recover as quickly as possible. Grafting, planting plants in a permanent place and pinching will be successful, but it is better not to touch young seedlings, because in the first quarter of the lunar cycle they are especially sensitive.
It is better to start harvesting fruits from plants that produce fruits above the ground. It is they who, during the first quarter of the growing moon, are endowed with a pleasant taste and extraordinary juiciness. It is worth thinking about collecting spices, herbs and plants for making homemade tea. Remember also that flowers cut in the first quarter of the growing moon will delight you in a vase for a long time, and vegetables that you fermented or pickled will get a pleasant aftertaste.
The positive impact of the growing moon:
- Planting plants and active watering will have a beneficial effect on the yield;
- The growth of flora stimulates loosening of the soil and the introduction of weak dressings;
- The harvest harvested during the return of the moon to heaven has a delicate taste;
- An excellent time for pickling and pickling vegetable stocks.
Negative influence:
- You should not carry out serious manipulations with seedlings, they are too vulnerable;
- Mature plants run the risk of saping if they interact with their trunks.
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. Careful 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 harvested, ripe fruits are harvested.
