Lunar planting calendar: the influence of moon phases on plant development
Knowledge of the relationship between processes occurring in development of different cultures in different phases of the moon and Zodiac signs makes it possible to select the most suitable sowing date.
Each phase has its own effect on the subsequent growth rate of plants. We indicate the information in Table 1.
| Moon phase | How it affects the plant, what can be done |
| New moon | It is considered the most unfavorable time for planting and replanting any crops in the garden. Moreover, the duration of this period covers a total of three days: before, during and after the immediate new moon. |
| Growing | Thanks to the effect of increasing the energy and juices of the plant, which the Moon provides, this period can be called the most favorable for planting. During this period, it is recommended to plant, transplant and graft trees |
| Full moon | This period lasts only one day of the immediate full moon; it is also not recommended for active work in the garden. Transplanting, planting and grafting on this day is strictly not recommended; it is better to loosen the soil: Decreasing - the time of redirection of the current of juices and energy downward. The best phase for working with bulbous plants and root crops. |
| Descending | Time to redirect the flow of juices and energy downwards. The best phase for working with bulbous plants and root crops. |
Depending on the position of the Moon relative to the Earth, the flow of energy and juice in plants can change.
As a result, it is better to focus on those periods in which this current is most active and the plants will quickly grow.
Fertile Zodiac Signs
No less important is Zodiac sign in which the Moon is located during the sowing period. So planting during the reign of fertile soil promises a large harvest.
The most fertile zodiac sign is Cancer. However, despite the large harvest, this crop will not be stored for long, in addition, the seed material from this harvest will not be particularly successful.
Other fertile zodiac signs include: Capricorn, Scorpio, Libra, Taurus and Pisces. They will not bring a huge, but sufficient harvest. At the same time, planting material from such a harvest will be stored much longer.
Fertile zodiacs have a beneficial effect on the quantity and quality of vegetables and root crops produced. It is so important to consider what you want to get: a lot, regardless of the quality of the planting material, or enough while maintaining the fertility of the seeds.
Let's watch an interesting video about fertile and infertile zodiac signs:
Low-fertility zodiac signs
Along with fertile signs that promise large harvests, there are also small ones. This does not mean that they are not at all suitable for landing, no. The result will just be slightly different.
The first three infertile zodiacs: Gemini, Sagittarius and Virgo. Despite the fact that the harvest will not please you with quantity, the planting material will be of different quality.
The second trio of low-fertility symbols are Aries, Aquarius and Leo. These zodiacs are more likely not even infertile, but infertile. When the Moon is in any of them, it is recommended to take time to collect seeds.
This is the best period for harvesting, which promises long storage.
Despite the name, these are not at all terrible periods when you cannot touch any work in the garden. They just have their own characteristics, which are worth paying attention to when creating a work schedule in the garden.
Days unfavorable for planting and sowing
The combination of the phase of the Moon and its location relative to the zodiac symbols can become a beacon indicating unfavorable periods for planting.
So in 2020, the days on which it is better not to touch plants at all include the following, we indicate them in Table 2.
