The lunar planting calendar for 2017 is an algorithm that will help you, as one of the many components of Nature, interact with other natural elements as efficiently and harmoniously as possible.

Hint: It will be difficult for a beginner to immediately orient himself and remember dates, phases of the Moon and the influence of Zodiac signs, but there is a simple visual hint. When the Moon grows, plants enter an active growth phase - their ground part rushes upward. When the Moon wanes, the underground part “comes to life” - the roots begin to develop. So before you replant the plant and disturb its roots, look to see if the Moon is on the wane.

What about eclipses? Regardless of whether there is a solar or lunar eclipse, this time is a serious test for all representatives of flora and fauna, as it causes severe stress. Most people do not notice this because they are surrounded by a dense information field that blocks sensitive perception, but animals and plants do not have this blockage, so during eclipses it is better not to work in the garden or on the farm, but to allow your pets to endure this period as calmly as possible.

Gardener's lunar planting calendar for 2017

Now that you already have an idea of why a gardener’s sowing lunar calendar is needed and how the positions of the Moon and the signs of the Zodiac affect plants, we can talk about the main thing. In this part of the article we will provide a detailed description of which dates of which month you can plant various garden crops next year.

February

You can start sowing garden crops as early as February. At this time, many summer residents sow seeds for seedlings in order to immediately plant them in open ground when the weather warms up and get a rich harvest as early as possible. If you wait for warmer weather and sow seeds in the garden beds, it will take longer for the fruits to ripen. These two methods can be successfully combined to get a double harvest per season.

So, on what dates in February can you plant plants:

Plant green onions, parsley, dill and lettuce on the 5th, 12th or 14th;

Flower growers recommend planting summer and autumn bulbous flowers in the spring, and spring flowers in the fall. When planting bulbs, the rule is: the smaller the bulb, the less deeply it needs to be buried. In order to calculate the depth, you can use the advice - you need to multiply the height of the bulb by three. Some perennial flowers grow greatly over time, so if this is necessary, you need to immediately allocate a limited area for them and thin out the plantings over time.

So, the lunar sowing calendar for gardeners and gardeners for 2017- This is a guarantee of a good harvest. We hope that our tips will be useful to you.

The sun is the main luminary, the giver of life. While it is in winter signs, no one is going to plow the land. In any case, on Russian territory. Nature is sleeping. With the transition of the Sun into the signs of spring, revival begins. Pisces, Aries and Taurus dictate the start of agricultural work. The sun in the signs of summer gives the beginning of the harvest, in the signs of autumn the end of work in the garden and vegetable garden. It never occurs to anyone to forget about the Sun.

Another thing is the Moon. Not everyone knows about her. But it is no less important than the Sun in the plans of our gardeners. The fact is that the Moon passes through the signs of the zodiac not like the Sun does in a month, but quickly, the Moon passes through one sign in two or three days. The appearance of the Moon in the zone of a particular sign, as well as the division of the month into lunar quarters, is called the lunar calendar.

The influence of the Moon on sowing and agricultural work

Gardeners have to take into account the phases of the Moon relative to the Sun. They are divided into four quarters. The first quarter begins with the new moon, i.e. since the conjunction of the Moon and the Sun. At this time, the Moon is not visible in the sky. The second quarter is counted from the point where the Moon establishes an angle of 90 degrees relative to the Sun. This quarter ends with a full moon. Then follows the third quarter until the angle is also 90 degrees relative to the main luminary. And the fourth quarter completes the circle. To determine what kind of moon it is today, just look at the starry sky. Look at the sky illuminated by the moon. If the lunar crescent reminds you of the letter “C”, then this is the so-called. The “old” Moon, it is waning in the light and will soon disappear completely. If in the sky you can clearly put a stick to the sickle and get the letter “R”, then this Moon is “Waxing”, it is arriving and it is moving towards the full moon.

There is no moon ─ new moon. A weak crescent appeared ─ the first quarter. The sickle grows and approaches the circle ─ second quarter. The moon is round ─ full moon. The circle is getting smaller ─ the third quarter, it has become very small ─ the fourth lunar quarter is coming to an end.

During the third and fourth quarters, activity in the underground, root part of plants increases. During this period, it is best to plant those crops whose harvest is ripening in the ground. Everything that grows underground for our food: potatoes, beets, carrots, etc. Seeds sown on the waning Moon receive a program for root development.

In the first and second quarters, the pressure comes from the roots upward, so crops that have edible “tops” work better. At the time when the Moon is waxing, plants are about to develop their terrestrial part to the greatest extent. Each lunar quarter has its own recommendations regarding the garden.

Sowing and planting should not be done on the days of the full moon and new moon. At this moment, the Moon is struck by our main luminary, the Sun. On a new moon, the Moon is not visible in the sky, it is “burnt,” but on a full moon, it is happy with everything, it doesn’t need or want anything. Development has already reached its maximum. And plants, their development and growth are under the protection of the Moon.

In the table below, the pros indicate a favorable time for a certain type of work. Cons ─ unfavorable. Empty cells ─ the influence of the Moon is neutral.

Agrotechnical work according to the lunar calendar - table

The influence of planets and zodiac signs on sowing and agricultural work

Zodiac signs are divided into four groups: air, earth, fire, water. It is clear that for seeds to germinate, water and heat (fire) are needed. Roots need air. The earth is the mother herself. Everyone is involved in this play called "The Seed and Its Fate." If a seed fell into the soil during the Moon’s passage through fertile signs, it means there will be something to look forward to as a harvest. What is the sign - such is the harvest. At the same time, since ancient times, people have noticed the connection of signs not only with the germination of seeds, but also with fertilization, weeding and the destruction of weeds and pests. Do you want a good harvest? Fertilize and water at the time when our night luminary moves through the signs of Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. This is also a good time to plant plants and seeds. Air signs love climbing plants and various vines. But fire signs are too “hot” for perennial shrubs. Because the moisture will quickly evaporate, the “heat” will remain, and the bush or tree will dry out.

The ancients considered the sign of Cancer to be the patron of gardens and vegetable gardens. The owner of this sign is the Moon itself. Taurus is also favorable to gardeners and gardeners, for there the Moon is in exaltation. Seeds planted in Taurus develop better than others. Virgo is the patron of cultivated fields. This will be useful for farms. Libra is responsible for orchards, palm groves, and cultivated alpine hills. Vineyards and mulberry groves are the places of Scorpio. Sagittarius took over the irrigated gardens. If you are planning to create thickets of bamboo, then there is no better day for the Moon to visit the sign of Pisces.

Each zodiac sign indicates which plants they favor. This means that a seed planted in the ground at the moment the Moon passes the patron sign will bring the best harvest.

When the Moon is in Aries and Sagittarius, Capricorn, plant plants that do not have seeds. In Taurus ─ all trees and plants, except those that do not have seeds in their fruits. Planted in Gemini loves to curl and strive for heights. Smooth, large trees, cedars and mighty sugar cane will be obtained with the Moon in Cancer. Tall trees will be successful with the Moon in Leo. If you need grains and seeds or small trees, plant everything in Virgo.

Fruit crops growing on the tops will develop well in Libra. Trees of medium height are formed in Scorpio. Astrologers of the Middle Ages believed that something could be grown during the Moon in Aquarius, for example, there are recommendations to plant trees near the sea at this time. However, remember that Aquarius is still an unpredictable sign.

When the Moon passes through the sign of Pisces, plant apple trees, plum trees, pear trees, apricot trees, sandalwood trees, camphor trees and all varieties of good fruits. Planting long, even trees is also suitable.

The zodiac signs through which the Moon travels for 28 days (lunar month) have their own owners. Therefore, it is very important to know the peculiarities of the combination of the Moon with these host planets.

If you are planning to grow flowers, choose not only the signs Libra or Taurus, but also the favorable position of the planet Venus.

Do you need a good root system? Throw seeds into the ground when the Moon is in Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus. Plus, a waning Moon is desirable. When it is damaged by Mars, the sprouts die from pests. With unfavorable aspects of Saturn, frosts are dangerous. If the Sun is too strong, it destroys with heat and drought. But Jupiter brings a bountiful harvest, especially if he himself is in the signs of his strength - Pisces or Cancer.

When the Moon is visiting Mercury (these are the signs of Gemini and Virgo), the harvest will be small and meager. Mercury signs are not fertile. Unless you are into growing herbs and vines. The presence of the Moon in water signs (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio) promises a good harvest for those crops that are filled with juice and should be round, soft and juicy.
If you are planting something for prestige and beauty, the sign of Leo is suitable. For those who want the tree to live long, we recommend the sign of Capricorn. Especially if Saturn, the ruler, himself passes through the fertile places of the zodiac.

Another interesting planet flaunts in the sky - Jupiter. Benefactor. If you plant a plant at the moment when the Moon is in conjunction with Jupiter (and in 2017, Jupiter will be in the sign of Libra until autumn), then your tree or flower will grow to gigantic proportions. For Jupiter is the largest planet prone to gigantomania.

The best sign for weeding is Leo. But Aquarius and Gemini will have such an influence on the weeds that it will be difficult for them to sprout after weeding. In the sign of Aquarius, the Sun is in its symbolic fall. Therefore, avoid landings with the Sun and Moon (especially) in Aquarius. The most unfavorable days for sowing or transplanting are days of the new moon, full moon, days when the Moon passes through the sign of Aquarius.

When the Moon is not visible in the sky, you should not plant anything. You risk getting unpredictable results. But now is the time to eradicate midges and aphids. Give them a smoke bomb in the greenhouse when the Moon is about to be burned by the Sun (the day before the new moon).

To prune trees, choose the Moon to transit barren signs (Aquarius, Leo, Aries, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius). What is cut in Aquarius will not grow back. Aquarius is the most problematic sign for plants. Weeding will also be successful; the weeds will have much less chance of reoccurring. However, useful plants should not be replanted. They will die.

In autumn it is time to harvest. Time your efforts to coincide with the appearance of the Moon in earth signs. Then the harvest will last longer. It will taste better and will not be damaged by negative factors. The juiciness of the collected fruits will depend on the Moon in Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio. But if you dig up potatoes on the Moon in these signs, they will be too saturated with water and will rot in winter.

When preserving, also follow simple star cues. Without wanting the lids to explode, do not start twisting when the Moon is in fire signs. The desire to have a supply of canned food for more than one year will lead you to canning during the Moon in Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus. Such preparations will linger in the cellar for a long time, perhaps more than one year. Somehow it will turn out that they simply won’t get around to opening this particular jar. If the preparations are made during the Moon in the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra, then, as a rule, they will not last even a few months, ─ they will be eaten by your household.

Sowing calendar (according to fertile zodiac signs)

Successful cultivation of fruit and vegetable crops depends on the Moon's schedule, i.e. certain work must be carried out on the appropriate days of the month. Then the yield will increase, the number of plant diseases will decrease, and the hassle from weeds will decrease.

Zodiac signs are divided into fertile and infertile. Therefore, the quality of the plants depends on what day the seeds hit the ground. Fertile signs include the signs of Taurus, Scorpio, Cancer, Capricorn, Pisces, Libra. Each of them promotes the growth of a specific group of plants. The table provides examples of the correspondence between the sign and the plant, which will develop better if planted when the Moon is present here.

Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn are involved in the distribution of forces in the roots of plants. Gemini and Libra signs are good for flowers. Seeds are signs of fire. Stems with leaves are water signs.

The table shows the best days for sowing seeds, planting and replanting crops. A list of favorable days of the winter period is given for brave experimental gardeners who want to have a “vegetable garden ─ all year round” on the windowsill. Keep in mind, however, that if the sowing days are favorable according to the Moon, the plants will not have enough sun. For example, February peppers will not develop as quickly and successfully as March ones.

Sowing calendar spring 2017

Depending on the sign of the Moon when sowing, plants are endowed with certain qualities. They can be productive with low-quality seeds or low-yielding with high-quality seeds, tall or short, fragile or strong. Therefore, sowing, planting and replanting plants should be carried out when the Moon is in favorable signs for cultivating the land and watering. When the Moon is in the water signs Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio, water is used more economically for irrigation, i.e. better absorbed by plants. In other signs, plants use more water. We apply organic fertilizers, including fertilizing, on the waning Moon in Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces. On the contrary, it is better to apply mineral fertilizers in the same signs during the waxing Moon.
Have a good harvest in the coming year!

Sowing seeds

The period of time during which the Moon makes a complete revolution around the Earth is called the sidereal month of the Moon. During this time, the Moon passes through all 12 signs of the Zodiac.

Each of the signs of the Zodiac belongs to a certain element, which have their own, very specific qualities.

The signs of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius belong to the element Fire.

To the element Air - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.

To the elements of Earth - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.

To the elements of Water - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

Days of Air and Light – Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.

Heat Days – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.

Cold days – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.

Fruit Days – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.

Days of Roots – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn (fertilize on these days).

Days of Flowers - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius (fertilize on these days - we will get a lot of flowers).

The position of the Moon in the zodiac signs is the external influence of certain types of energies that affect not only the growth and productivity of plants (the greatest fluctuations in yield depending on planting in a certain zodiac sign were seen in potatoes, radishes and legumes), but most importantly - on the condition of the soil .

Depending on the sign in which the Moon was at the time of sowing, the plants are endowed with certain qualities. They can be productive with low-quality seeds or low-yielding with high-quality seeds, tall or short, fragile or strong. Therefore, sowing, planting and replanting plants should be carried out when the Moon is in favorable signs for cultivating the land and watering: Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces, taking into account the phase of the Moon for different plants. At the same time, cuttings, grafting, and rooting of the mustache are carried out.

The day of sowing a seed is the time when it touched the ground, or the time when we put it in water to soak. That is, as soon as moisture began to flow through the seed shell to the embryo, we can talk about the beginning of awakening. On this day, the plant’s harvest program is set, which cannot be changed during transplantation. Transplantation can only correct the condition of the plant. So, for example, if you sowed in Cancer, then picking in Virgo or Capricorn can make the root system and stem of the plants less fragile.

There is one very important rule in agroastrology: if the zodiac sign is suitable for sowing, but the phase of the Moon is not suitable, then you need to focus on the sign and carry out the work on the last day of the Moon’s stay in this favorable sign. For example, Taurus is a good sign for sowing carrots, but we are not happy with the waxing phase of the Moon. Then we sow in Taurus, but on the last day the Moon is in this sign. The phase of the Moon on this day will have almost no effect on the growth and harvest of carrots in the future.

Watering plants

Water is used more economically for irrigation, i.e. It is better absorbed by plants when the Moon is in the water signs Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio. The phase of the moon does not matter for watering. In other signs, plants use more water.

In the Northern and Northwestern regions, we mainly water plants in closed ground and ridges in open ground while the plants are still small. If the leaf apparatus has grown, it collects night moisture well and watering is not necessary. After rain, the soil on the ridges must be loosened, not allowing the moisture to evaporate. But if the leaves of neighboring plants are closed, then loosening may not be necessary. In swampy areas, with constant watering, all the humus that we ourselves create is washed away, and only dust remains.

For example, we planted tomatoes in open ground and filled the holes with organic matter and mineral fertilizers. When planting, we water the seedlings abundantly, so that the water barely drains away. Then we sprinkle the surface around the plant with dry soil so that the moisture does not evaporate, and that’s it. During the summer we never water or feed, we only loosen it after rain and shape it. Such tomatoes have time to turn red by mid-August.

Feeding

We apply organic fertilizers, including fertilizing, on the waning Moon in Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces. On the contrary, it is better to apply mineral fertilizers in the same signs during the waxing Moon.

For example, you need to feed the weeds with slurry or infusion. We make an infusion on the waning Moon after the Full Moon in a plastic barrel (can be placed in a greenhouse). After 3-5 days the infusion will ferment - it’s time to feed it. We feed this infusion twice during the season, rarely three times. In open ground - only leeks.

Simple rules for the gardener:

Mineral fertilizing can be carried out during the waxing Moon.

Organic fertilizing is best done during the waning moon.

Harvesting hay

To facilitate drying, it is recommended to mow grass under the Moon in a dry sign (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, Aquarius). Hay can rot from being mowed in water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Grass cut near the New Moon dries faster, but the hay will be depleted of nutrients. This hay can be used as biofuel or as bedding for livestock.

But in rainy summers there is no time for biodynamics; here they use any sunny day for mowing.

The lunar calendar shows Moscow time

In the first month of spring, the most important thing is the beginning of sowing work. Even if it’s on the windowsill, you need to take them seriously, because the size and quality of the future harvest will largely depend on the quality of the grown seedlings.

The arrival of spring for gardeners is a period of preparation for spring work in gardens and berry fields. In mid-March the snow begins to melt. The main task at this time is to retain melt water in the areas. For this purpose, scatter the snow under the crowns of trees and shrubs, on ridges with strawberries and raspberries, clearing the rows or individual areas from it (for sowing early vegetables), so that the soil here thaws earlier and can absorb melt water, which, as a rule, drains quickly on frozen ground.
The first month of spring has arrived, which we all have been looking forward to. Its Latin name comes from Byzantium, where it was named after the god of war, Mars. Its Slavic names (sushets, sokovik, berezen) reflect the low amount of precipitation, the beginning of sap flow in the trees and the swelling of birch buds.

Growing seedlings for a new harvest
The seedling method is used when it is necessary to grow heat-loving plants that are afraid of frost and have a long growing season, so that they produce the main harvest before the onset of severe autumn cold. For example, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes

Since ancient times, the ancient inhabitants of planet Earth took into account the influence of the Moon on the animal world. This pattern applied to living organisms and to the watery part of the planet’s surface. The lunar phase affects the water level in seas, rivers and lakes. The flora, which includes grass, trees, shrubs, and so on, is no exception. This pattern has been confirmed by gardeners since ancient times.

Therefore, it is clear why most plant growers rely on the lunar calendar during sowing. A person who expects good yield from his garden uses his knowledge and listens to the opinions of other gardeners. A large number of summer residents look at the lunar calendar. That is why it is so popular nowadays among those who want to get maximum yield in 2017.

A number of definitions

“A prosperous day for sowing” is a concept that everyone has heard more than once. Only a few seriously thought that such days were directly related to the Earth’s natural satellite.

The moon controls the water level on the earth's surface, the life cycles of living organisms, and the process of plant life. The main rule for sowing, if you rely on the lunar calendar, is the phase of the outgoing and new moon. When leaving, plant plants that grow downward, and during the young phase - above-ground deciduous crops. Plant growers explain this factor by the fact that during the waning moon the root system is actively strengthened, and deciduous crops develop slowly. When the moon is waxing, plants grow faster than root crops.

Is it rational to use the lunar calendar?

Do I need to use the 2017 sowing calendar to grow certain types of plants? Most likely not, this knowledge is not required for all gardeners or gardeners. You can engage in crop production by relying only on the climatic conditions for a particular area. Nature will take care of these issues with her own hands.

Lunar sowing calendar for 2017 - table

Moon calendar according to zodiac signs

The 2017 sowing calendar is influenced not only by lunar dates, but also by the 12 signs of the Zodiac. They are located on a specific date for each event of the lunar calendar. Based on this data, a sowing schedule is constructed and work related to crop production is listed.

Therefore, the movement of constellations across the sky seriously affects the development of plants. In 30 days, the Moon visits all constellations. Each position has a noticeable impact on the environment. Some constellations are more favorable than others.

Fertile Zodiac Signs

The female signs are Cancer, Taurus and Pisces. Endurance and vitality are characteristic of Scorpios. The last lines in fertility were assigned to Virgo and Capricorn. The time when the Moon moves through favorable signs is suitable for planting and replanting all types of plants. At this time, watering and fertilizing will be beneficial. When the Moon is in Pisces, over-watering is not recommended as it will cause rotting.

Masculine signs are not very suitable for sowing. Only the constellation Libra has a beneficial effect on the development of ornamental and climbing plants. It is recommended to moderately water and feed the seedlings. On the day of Gemini influence, nothing needs to be done, not even watering and other little things.

Sagittarius and Aries are characterized by low productivity. But they are not suitable for large volumes of work. Leo and Aquarius are the signs when it comes to cultivating the land and getting rid of pests. It is useless to perform other types of work, since the signs for them are unfavorable. Under the influence of Aquarius, you need to take care of the sprout; if you damage it even a little, it will not grow.

Regardless of fertility, each zodiac sign has a personal favorable type of plant. You need to adhere to all recommendations completely, and not selectively. For example, it will not be enough to plant a seedling on the right day, but it also needs to be properly cared for: watered, fertilized and harvested on time.

Aries doesn't like landings on his days. Getting rid of weeds and destroying pests at this time will bring the desired result.

Taurus benefits planted plants. The yield will be high, and the root crops will be a sight to behold during the waning Moon. The waxing Moon loves sowing land plants and pruning trees.

Cancer during the waxing Moon is a phase for plants that feed a lot of moisture. This includes cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, currants, raspberries and so on. The waning moon has a positive effect on root vegetables. The yield will be at the highest level, but this harvest will not be stored. The seeds are unsuitable.

Lions are great for weeding and getting rid of pests. Planting is not recommended.

The constellation Virgo has a good effect on vegetation care work. If you plant crops at this time, there will be no result. It is better to plant long-lived bushes and herbs. Virgo will save them from all adversity.

Libra Day is the day of seedlings. Plant cucumbers, legumes, trees and bushes during the waxing Moon, and root vegetables and onions during the waning Moon. Productivity is average, storage is good, seeds are suitable for further planting.

On Scorpio's day, seedlings, herbs, peppers and eggplants are planted. The waning phase is suitable for root vegetables, garlic and trees. The harvest is normal, stored for a long time, the seeds are of high quality.

Sagittarius is an unfavorable constellation for planting plants, so it is better to work on cultivating the soil and getting rid of harmful insects.

During the period of Capricorn's influence, seedlings, winter seeds and perennial plants, including trees, are planted. The waning moon has a positive effect on planting onions and root crops. This is a good time to sow legumes, cabbage and herbs. The yield is average, but the fruits are of high quality and are stored for a long time.

Aquarius time is suitable for cultivating the soil and exterminating insect pests. You can't deal with seedlings.

Fish. Trees should not be pruned at this time. Planting horseradish, tomatoes, cucumbers and eggplants should be done only on the waxing Moon, and on the waning Moon - carrots, radishes and flowers. The yield is good, but it is not stored well. The seeds are not of the best quality.
