Recommendations for 19 november 2025
Day evaluation based on multiple factors: 🔴 unfavorable day
Moon Phase: New Moon
Characteristics: The New Moon represents a period of minimal activity and the beginning of a new cycle in the garden. Plants enter a state of energetic rest as sap and nutrients concentrate in the roots. Metabolic processes slow significantly, and growth nearly halts. This is a barren phase for most garden activities related to active growth and development.
Specifics: During the New Moon, plants focus their energy on internal processes and root development. The upward flow of sap is minimal, making the aerial parts of plants less active but allowing the root system to maintain some growth. Seed germination rates decrease, and newly planted specimens show slower establishment. Plants become more susceptible to fungal diseases, particularly those affecting underground parts. The soil microbiome experiences a shift in activity patterns, with some beneficial organisms becoming temporarily less active.
While the New Moon is generally unfavorable for planting and transplanting, it offers excellent opportunities for preparatory and maintenance work. Use this time to focus on soil improvement, garden planning, and pest management. Postpone significant planting projects, but take advantage of this period for tasks that benefit from the downward energy flow.
- Beneficial activities: Soil preparation (tilling, adding amendments, composting), cleaning garden beds, controlling weeds (especially those with deep root systems), pest management (particularly for underground pests like grubs and nematodes), planning and designing garden layouts.
- Suitable plants for necessary planting: If planting cannot be postponed, focus only on root crops intended for long-term storage such as carrots, parsnips, turnips, and storage radishes—though results will still be suboptimal compared to more favorable phases.
- Timing considerations: The New Moon effect is strongest on the actual day and gradually diminishes over the following two days. Plan essential activities accordingly, with the most sensitive operations scheduled furthest from the exact New Moon time.
Despite its general barrenness for growth, the New Moon phase provides an excellent opportunity for deep garden work that sets the foundation for future abundance. This is the ideal time for weed management, as plants removed now—especially when focusing on their root systems—are less likely to regenerate. Some biodynamic gardeners believe that compost turned during the New Moon develops superior microbial activity. Additionally, this quiet phase offers a valuable opportunity to observe your garden's natural rhythms and plan interventions that align with cosmic cycles.
Moon in Sign: Scorpio
Characteristics: When the Moon is in Scorpio, garden plants experience intensified regenerative capabilities and enhanced root development. This fertile water sign activates powerful growth forces that penetrate deeply into soil and plant tissues. Plants demonstrate remarkable recovery from damage and stress, with improved ability to transform nutrients into complex compounds. The garden environment becomes deeply nurturing with heightened microbial activity that supports decomposition and nutrient cycling. Root systems expand aggressively, accessing water and minerals from previously unexplored soil regions.
Specifics: Scorpio energy creates exceptionally favorable conditions for transformative garden operations. This period excels for planting perennials, root crops, and plants propagated through division. Surgery-like garden tasks—such as grafting, pruning for rejuvenation, and plant division—succeed particularly well as healing processes accelerate. Deep watering and application of compost tea or liquid fertilizers show enhanced effectiveness. Pest management strategies targeting soil-dwelling pests yield better results. This phase particularly benefits plants with extensive root systems, those producing underground storage organs, and species known for medicinal properties. The intense regenerative energy makes this an ideal time for rehabilitating damaged or struggling plants.
Lunar Day: 1 lunar day
Characteristics: The first lunar day represents a period of energetic initiation but physical inactivity in the garden. Plants, soil microorganisms, and natural systems operate at their lowest metabolic rate during this time. Nutrient cycling slows significantly, and biological processes remain largely dormant. The garden exists in a state of anticipation rather than active development, with energy concentrated deep in the soil and plant root systems. Seeds remain particularly responsive to intention-setting but resist physical germination.
Specifics: This day creates challenging conditions for most active gardening operations. Plants established now struggle to develop proper root systems and often show delayed emergence or weak initial growth. Root crops develop poorly when planted on the first lunar day, frequently producing forked or stunted specimens. Transplanting operations show high failure rates as plants cannot mobilize sufficient energy to overcome transplant shock. Instead, focus on garden planning, tool preparation, and mental organization of coming activities. The first lunar day particularly favors contemplative observation of the garden space, identifying areas needing attention in the coming lunar cycle, and setting clear intentions for garden development without physical intervention. This reflective approach lays important energetic foundations for successful activity when more favorable days arrive.
Day of the Week: Wednesday
Characteristics: Wednesday, governed by Mercury, introduces variable and sometimes inconsistent energy to the garden. Plant responses become less predictable, with irregular germination patterns and uneven growth rates. The garden environment experiences increased air movement and temperature fluctuations that may stress sensitive species. Communication between root systems and soil microorganisms becomes less efficient, potentially reducing nutrient availability. Plants demonstrate shorter attention spans to environmental stimuli, responding quickly but not sustaining their adaptations.
Specifics: This day creates challenging conditions for most garden establishment activities. Plants sown or transplanted now often develop irregularly or show inconsistent vigor. Root crops frequently fork or develop unusual shapes when planted on Wednesdays. However, the day does favor intellectual garden activities—researching plant varieties, planning garden layouts, labeling specimens, and gathering information about garden challenges. Climbing plants and those with abundant branching like beans, peas, and herbs in the mint family can be successfully established. Wednesday's mentally active but physically inconsistent energy makes it better suited for garden learning and communication rather than critical planting operations for food production.
Each day’s calculations consider multiple factors: possible lunar eclipses, moon phase, lunar day sequence, zodiac sign, and day of the week. When planning activities, note that our lunar calendar is advisory. The final decision is yours, whether in line with or against the opinions of astrology experts.
