The influence of a lunar day
This is a passive time for plants, they grow slowly, not responding to any actions over the ground part. This day of the lunar cycle is successful in order to carry out any garden work that has a beneficial effect on the harvest of underground plants: potatoes, onions, beets, carrots and others.
This period is great for planting, weeding, harvesting and sorting the seeds for the next planting season. Manipulations with the soil will be successful: loosening, feeding, pest control, weeding. On the 25th lunar day, it is forbidden to water the plantings, since they are not able to take in a large amount of liquid.
Experienced gardeners recommend paying attention to shrubs and trees. During this period, you can safely cut off excess and spoiled shoots - this will not harm the plants. It is undesirable to plant and pinch seedlings, as this affects their growth and survival of the shoot.
You can go for medicinal herbs, collect fresh greens and fruits of aboveground plants on your site. The crop harvested on this day is suitable for drying, as the nutritious juices are concentrated in the roots.
25 lunar days have a positive effect on:
- sowing, planting, harvesting root crops and bulbous plants;
- digging, loosening the soil, weeding, feeding and spraying plants;
- pruning trees and shrubs;
- harvesting fruits, vegetables, berries, herbs for drying.
Negative impact of 25 lunar days:
- for watering;
- to work damaging plant roots.
Influence of the day of the week
On the first day of the week, the influence of the moon is paramount on human life. Having the peculiarity of introducing chaos and confusion in all matters, the celestial body can significantly spoil even those plans that did not seem to bring any special difficulties in implementation. Astrologers advise against planning global events for Monday, as the hostess of the day can turn everything upside down.If you cannot transfer the planned affairs, then you should listen to your own attitude. Perhaps the Moon itself will tell you how to behave in a given situation.
In the garden and in the garden, you can do mediocre things, the implementation of which will definitely not be able to harm the future harvest or flowering of plants.
It is strongly undesirable to arrange pruning of trees and shrubs. Such actions may not only fail to bring the expected fruiting and rapid flowering, but also ruin green spaces.
On Monday, new seedlings are not planted, and old plants are not transplanted from one place to another. Even the most favorable weather conditions will not help to overcome the influence of the moon, so survival rate and yield will be defective.
It is better to devote this day to:
- care for existing green crops.
- Cleaning dry foliage,
- fertilization of the soil and control of plant pests.
- picking ripe berries, fruits and vegetables.
Moon phase influence
At this time, the activity of plants begins to gradually decrease, all their energy and power accumulate in the rhizome.
Things to do
Since the plants are not currently disposed to rapid growth and the formation of young shoots, it is worth doing cleaning on the personal plot:
- ground tops;
- fallen leaves;
- weed grass;
- dried plants;
- backyard territory.
Sick or dead shrubs and trees can be uprooted. The formation of the crown, pruning of lateral shoots, branches will have a good effect on the state of garden vegetation.
What is undesirable to do
The moon in the 4th waning phase is not a very suitable time for planting seedlings and sowing seeds of plants with ground-based fruit formation. Planted in a given time period, they will:
- grow weak, short;
- take root badly;
- have less resistance to disease.
To a lesser extent, this applies to bulbous and root crops, in which the underground part is the main one, so they more easily tolerate the negative impact on their upper part.
In the last phase, it is worth abandoning watering, loosening the soil, digging it up. The roots are now sensitive to external influences and can negatively respond to damage, and excessive moisture can trigger the decay process.
Fertilization is allowed. It is allowed to spray the ground parts of vegetation with special agents against diseases and harmful insects.
The harvest of root crops collected during this period will have a short shelf life, the fruits will differ in wateriness. They can be canned, like ground fruits harvested at the same time. But salting or fermenting is not desirable.
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.
What to do during the growing phase
Planting or transplanting ornamental shrubs, flower seedlings, as well as sowing flower seeds will go well. Climbing plants can also be planted. It is recommended to transplant strawberries, strawberries (propagated by a mustache). This is the right time for collecting medicinal herbs, mowing.
What to do in the waning phase
This is a very good time for loosening the soil, applying mulch, hilling potatoes, weeding, removing weeds and weak ovaries. You can do the formation of the crown of trees and shrubs, pruning shoots. Digging of carrots, beets and other root crops is carried out. The roots of medicinal plants are harvested, ripe fruits are harvested.
What is allowed to do on the moon in Gemini

- To plant melons and legumes, garden and forest strawberries.
- Remove mustache from strawberries, thin out the beds.
