Moderately auspicious days and zodiac signs
It is well known that the calendar days of the month and the lunar ones do not coincide a little, and the passage through the signs of the zodiac depends on what dates in the past were the New Moon and the Full Moon.
In October 2019, the passage of the moon through the zodiac constellations determines the cyclical processes and dates of work for those who do not have time to cope in the most favorable time.
- October 1 and 2 - the Moon in Scorpio, which is a fertile sign, so you can transplant seedlings in the greenhouse, plant cabbage and flowers, plant winter garlic and herbs in the garden.
- 2 and 4 numbers - do not bother with seeds and plants, since the advancing Sagittarius is not conducive to this. But you can weed out, take time to harvest for the winter, dig up tubers and bulbs of ornamental plants.
- 5 and 6 - The moon is in Capricorn, and although it is considered a sign of medium fertility, harvesting and sowing greens for distillation will be successful and will give good results. Successful will be the work on landscaping the garden.
- October 7, 8 and 9 are the days of Aquarius, which is considered an infertile sign, but the usual autumn processes - salting, souring, digging the soil will be productive these days.
During the period of prevalence of Pisces, you can do any landing work, since this sign of the zodiac is considered fertile. By the same principle, all planned processes can be planned. Aries and Gemini, Leo and Sagittarius are not the most suitable signs for the usual activities of a gardener and gardener.
