Next Week's Moon Signs

Here are a few tips for those who are interested in gardening by the moon.

The moon goes into the fourth quarter Saturday afternoon (4:47 pm CDT), May 12, 2012. It remains in Aquarius throughout the day, which is a barren, dry, and airy sign. Cultivate, and destroy weeds and pests. Trim plants or cut grass in order to slow its growth. Mulch to suppress weeds. Harvest fruits and root crops for food.

 It is generally recommended during the fourth quarter not to do any planting at all, but to focus entirely on cultivating, turning sod, pulling weeds, mulching, and destroying pests of all kinds, especially while the moon is in Aries, Leo, Virgo, Gemini, Aquarius, and Sagittarius.

The moon enters Pisces on Sunday morning (6:42 am CDT), May 13, 2012. This sign is considered very fruitful, moist and watery. This sign is especially good for root growth. If you have any biennials, perennials, bulbs or roots left to plant (except potatoes), do it now, in spite of the moon being in the fourth quarter. Some people report that potatoes planted in Pisces do not do so well. This would be an excellent time to do last-minute pruning. It is also a good sign to irrigate and fertilize in. If you're caught up with your gardening activities or the weather is unfavorable, go fishing for a while.

The moon leaves Pisces and moves into Aries (at 4:45 pm CDT) on Tuesday, May 15, 2012. This sign is barren, dry, and fiery. This continues to be an excellent time (with the moon in the fourth quarter) to cultivate and destroy weeds and pests. Trim plants or cut grass in order to slow its growth. Mulch to suppress weeds. Harvest fruits and root crops for food.

On Friday, May 18, 2012 (at 5:03 am) the moon moves into Taurus. This sign is productive, moist, and earthy. This is probably the best time within the next two weeks to plant potatoes or other tubers, in spite of it being so close to the new moon. Trim or mow to inhibit growth.

The moon remains in Taurus and in the fourth quarter through Saturday, May 19.

Blessings to all!
