The influence of a lunar day

21 lunar day

21 days is considered universal: you can both harvest and engage in pruning, grafting new shoots to adult plants, cultivating the soil and applying useful dressings to the soil. All nutritious juices are concentrated in the roots of shrubs, trees and small shoots, so care is required only with loosening, excavation of new beds.

The application of fertilizers and mineral complexes to increase soil fertility will be especially effective (but remember that the wrong fertilizer can destroy the entire crop or cause an invasion of pests). Organics will also show good results, because now the roots of the plant are especially susceptible to substances that are quickly absorbed.

Now you can start harvesting roots (the day will be especially productive if you grow ginger), collecting fruits that grow in the soil, for example, radishes, turnips, beets, carrots, potatoes and the like. You can also do the collection of medicinal plants (both those that you grow yourself, and forest or wild), which are full of strength and energy on 21 lunar days.

Positive impact of the day

  • All manipulations to correct the aerial part of the plant are allowed;
  • The period is perfect for root feeding of garden flora;
  • Collecting root crops on 21 lunar days will increase their potential benefits;
  • Now is a great time to harvest medicinal plants and herbs.

Negative impact of the day

  • Watering on 21 lunar days will only harm the plant.

Influence of the day of the week

Sunday

Since ancient times, the last day of the week has been associated with positivity and joy.After all, the sun is the patron saint of Sunday, which means that the day is charged with positive energy, which is best used for rest and entertainment. That is why, it is better to postpone hard, dirty work to the next week.

Experienced gardeners recommend limiting yourself to watering plants and applying fertilizers. It is this stage of work that will fill the plants with strength and charge them with solar energy for further growth and development.

Also on this day you can do aesthetic activities. The creation of flower beds and living fences can be quite successful. Such work will be enjoyable and positive, and the result will exceed expectations.

Digging or plowing work should definitely be postponed. This dirty job is not for Sunday. Better to plan all stages of work on weekdays. It is not yet recommended to engage in thinning beds, removing weeds, cutting or uprooting shrubs.

If there are seasonal fruits and vegetables that need to be harvested, you should limit yourself to the amount that the family can consume that day. It is better to transfer harvesting for the winter and collecting seeds to Monday.

Sunday does not imply parasitism. This day of the week is special and offers the following possibilities:

  • Preparation and scheduling of work on weekdays;
  • Carrying out aesthetic and decorative work in the garden, flower bed or vegetable garden. These are those that bring positiveness;
  • Basic plant care work that requires minimal labor costs;
  • Collection of fruits and vegetables for food.

And in order not to disrupt the positive energy of the day, it is worth warning the execution of the following work:

  • Do not take on hard and dirty work;
  • Planting, thinning, tearing weeds, breaking branches, uprooting shrubs is prohibited;
  • It is better to postpone the collection of gifts for blanks to other days.

No wonder it is said that Sunday is a day of rest and joy. The very energy of this day adjusts to calmness. And if you follow the above rules, you can gain strength and positive energy for a whole week.

Moon phase influence

Waning crescent

This period has one very important difference, namely, a change in the circulation of nutrient juices in plants. At this time, the juices are directed towards the roots from the top. It is worth noting that on the waning moon, plants just slow down growth and activity. That is why from 3 to 8 March it is recommended to carry out manipulations with the aboveground part of the plants, while not touching the roots.

The period is favorable for planting root and bulbous plants, since all their juices are collected in the root part. By planting root crops on the waning moon, you help them gain more strength and become much tastier and juicier.

What not to do

As a rule, on a waning moon, the roots become too vulnerable and prone to various diseases. Therefore, at this time, it is recommended to postpone all work that is related to the ground. These include digging a site, loosening or watering plants.

When watering plants on a waning moon, you need to be very careful, as you run the risk of damaging the roots. Instead, focus on pruning trees or removing shoots. You can also do pest control and weed management for great results.

Work in the garden

If you are gardening, you can devote time to harvesting foliage and uprooting stumps or old trees. Harvesting is recommended only for aboveground plants.

The harvested fruits will be well stored, therefore, for the waning moon, you can make various preparations, as well as drying herbs or fruits.

Influence of the zodiac sign

Capricorn

Capricorn is a symbol of fertility, stability and one of the terrestrial signs. Therefore, if the moon is in this sign of the zodiac, then all work in the garden will definitely give a good harvest, but you should expect medium-sized fruits in large quantities.

During this period, any ground work will be favorable:

  • Sowing seeds of any vegetable crops;
  • Planting bushes and trees, especially fruit trees;
  • Transplanting seedlings;
  • Working with flowers: care, fertilization, watering, planting;
  • Harvesting for long-term storage.

There is an opinion that there is no need to wait for quick shoots during this period. But more time will allow the sprout to grow stronger, which means that a good and stable harvest will be obtained.

It is believed that seedlings will be more resistant to weather conditions, pests and diseases. Fruits and inflorescences, most likely, will not be large, but the quantity will justify the quality.

Flowering crops will have a pronounced aroma, which is better for attracting insects.

Capricorn is considered the patron saint of trees and shrubs. Therefore, all crops will be strong and protected from external factors. Although it is also not worth waiting for large plants to hear. They will bear fruit well for a long time.

It should be added that the new moon in Capricorn is considered a special period when all earthworks will be easy and efficient. Experienced landowners organize loosening, digging, hilling and other dirty work.
