So, the quality of their further development depends on a specific lunar day on which the plants were planted. In the calendar of moon phases for April 2018, unfavorable days for any agricultural work are indicated: sowing, planting, removing weeds and even plowing the earth. All gardeners are strongly advised to heed such advice. Otherwise, neglect of the instructions of the lunar calendar can entail negative consequences in the form of damage to crops by pests and diseases, slowing plant growth and disturbing the energy balance.

To get a good harvest, it is important to pay special attention to two important points noted in the lunar sowing calendar for April 2018:

1. Planting on your site perennial crops and trees with an expected long life is necessary during the growing moon before the onset of the full moon phase. Such an event with perennial plants is not recommended at the time when the Moon is in a position between the Sun and the Earth, but is in the new moon phase.
2. Crops that were planted before the full moon will differ in height in size. In nature, everything is arranged in an interconnected manner - just as a person should take the initiative for all his undertakings in the phase of the growing moon, so this period will be favorable for plants to give the right course to their development.

April 2018 lunar calendar - fundamental principles of the heavenly sign

Experienced gardeners and vegetable growers already in ancient times revealed a pattern in relation to the effect of the Night Light on the development of various crops. Indeed, the Moon is practically a “beacon” for all the seas and oceans, it controls the water and determines the direction of the currents. In the same way, the Moon is able to influence every drop of liquid contained in living plant cells. Although the process of this effect cannot be discerned without the help of special equipment, nevertheless, the obvious fact of the influence of certain lunar phases on the development and growth of all living organisms cannot be denied.

The moon, passing a specific stage of its cycle, enters one of the zodiac constellations. Together, they begin to work in a positive or, conversely, negative direction for the development of plants. So, in April 2018, the position of the Moon in signs will be favorable:

• scorpion;
• bodies;
• fish
• cancer.

Such a "heavenly combination" of the Night luminary and zodiac signs will bring fertility.

It is worthwhile to beware of the following provisions of the Moon in combination with the signs of the zodiac, which can affect not only the quality of crops grown, but even destroy them:

• with a ram;
• with a lion;
• with the twins;
• with an aquarius.

The moon’s entry into the zodiac constellations will be neutral:

• virgins;
• archer;
• weights;
• Capricorn.

Following the tips of the lunar calendar for April 2018 will avoid undesirable consequences. In particular, it is always worth remembering the days when the dangerous moon rises. During this period, it is highly recommended not to carry out any types of garden work on your site.

What days will the dangerous moon rise?

In the sowing calendar for April 2018, in addition to the dates most suitable for productive work in the garden, adverse days are also indicated that will pass under the auspices of the dangerous Moon:

• On April 14, 16 and 17, 2019, the Moon will go through a new moon phase. So, on the day of its inception, a day before this event and after 24 hours after the appearance of a young star in the dark sky, the whole energy force of nature will only begin to increase;
• On April 29 and 30, 2018, the full moon is expected - such a state of the star, when the whole sky will be illuminated by a bright and large moon ball. Energy stress will reach its peak, which can lead to irreversible consequences if agricultural work is carried out these days.
