Auspicious days of the lunar calendar for planting vegetables and flowers

Many people are sure that astronomical bodies influence our life in outer space, where everything is interconnected. The state of health and behavior of most people, the outcome of the most important events, the ebb and flow of ocean waters and favorable days for landing determine the lunar rhythm. This on the moon - you will get a double harvest of plants, as the Russian peasants used to say.

Sublunary plant world

The complete lunar cycle, lasting an average of 29.5 days, represents 8 phases of the illumination of the Moon by the Sun:

1. new moon (the moon is not visible);
2. young (crescent, horns are directed to the left, connecting them with an imaginary straight line we get the letter "p");
3. 1st quarter of the Moon (quarter is illuminated);
4. arriving;
5. full moon phase;
6. decreasing;
7. II quarter of the moon;
8. the aging moon (thin crescent with horns to the right, looks like the letter "c").

Each phase has its own effect on the plants. How the lunar rhythm affects has long been established. Confucius said: "Since we live in the sublunar world, we need a lunar calendar." But many even today doubt this knowledge. Few people use the lunar calendar.

Good to know

American scientist Clark Timmens confirmed the influence of the moon by experimenting with vegetables.

Astrologers say: on the day of the new moon, the plants are at rest and the juices fill the roots. On the days of the waxing moon, sap flows from the roots to the fruits that develop above the ground. In the full moon, the maximum accumulation of nutrients in the fruits is achieved, the color and aroma of flowers are thickened. With the aging moon, sap flow is directed from top to bottom to the roots, there is an accumulation of nutrients in tubers and root crops.
According to the lunar calendar, there are three rules for gardeners.

1. Full moon and new moon - prohibited days for all sowing and planting work.
2. Root plants should be planted on the waning moon.
3. For lush flowers, a good harvest of fruits, vegetables, giving edible tops (fruits above the surface of the earth), the best phase in the lunar calendar will be the growing phase.

Following these rules, farmers only need to take into account the new moon, full moon, waxing and waning moon.

Planetary Impact

The moon is constantly under the influence of one of the 12 zodiac signs. And this influence on plants is transmitted through various energies (magnetic field strength, light pulses, other influences, including unexplored ones).
Astrologers determine the favorable days for planting according to the lunar calendar, depending on which sign of the zodiac the night star is under. Productive lunar days are those when the Moon is in interaction with the "fertile" constellations.

Infertile signs for plants: earthy - Virgo (wet and cold), fiery - Sagittarius (male, moderately dry and warm).
Unfavorable (sterile) signs: fiery - Aries (dry, moderately hot), Leo (hottest, arid); airy - Aquarius (dry, cold), Gemini (dry, warm).
Fire signs (fruits) are unfavorable for sowing and planting plants.

Advice
If, according to the lunar calendar, the moon is today under barren signs, postpone sowing seeds of vegetables, flowers and transplanting seedlings. During this period, there is little benefit - both for plants and for the gardener. You can do other gardening business.

Folk signs

The 1st and 3rd weeks of the month are considered bad (rotten), the 2nd and 4th weeks are good, favorable not only for sowing garden crops and flowers, but also for all new things.

From the days of the week, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday are the best for planting all vegetables, flowers, trees. But if you plant cucumbers on Wednesdays and Fridays, they will be bitter.

The flora calendar served as a reference point for planting in May and June. The oak is blooming - these peas... Aspen, violets are blooming - it's time to sow radish, carrots, onions, dill, parsley... There are earrings on a maple tree - sow beets. Viburnum flower petals fall - you can sow beans on the beds, corn, pumpkin, cucumbers. Daffodils have blossomed - sow lettuce, radish, flower seeds (phlox, lupine, daisies). Blooming peony flowers (end of May, June) - sow pumpkin, cucumbers, beans.

In May and June, according to the church calendar, the days are called saints. The Orthodox people, honoring the memory of the martyrs, using the centuries-old observations of their ancestors, knew on what day what work could be done.

In June, from 1 to 3 and 5, cucumbers were planted. They did not sow, did not plow on June 4 (Basilisk) - they waited out this day so that the grain fields would not be clogged with cornflower. Beans (a culture appreciated by the peasants) can be planted on the 12th (Isaac) and 13th (Eremey). The last planting cucumbers in June - 25th (Petrov's day). You can't plant cucumbers on Akulina (in June it's the 26th) - they will be crooked.

In 2017, believers celebrate twelve holidays:

• May, 25th - Ascension of the Lord;
• June, 4 numbers - Trinity,
• June, 5th - Spirits Day.

Refrain from planting during these holidays.

You can check in practice whether the days of planting flowers, garden crops, fruit trees are favorable or not according to the lunar and church calendars or folk signs. As Plato said, whoever is not convinced himself cannot be convinced.
