Gardener's lunar calendar for 2021
The annual lunar planting calendar is based on the synodic month - the period of changing phases of the Moon. It is compiled depending on the impact of the satellite on gardening plants in different lunar phases. This behavior of cultures is explained by tidal forces generated by the Moon (gravity, electromagnetism).
When compiling lunar calendars, they take into account which zodiac sign the Moon is in. Plants develop and bear fruit best if they are planted in the sign of Scorpio, Pisces, Cancer or Taurus. Virgo, Sagittarius and Gemini are considered infertile signs. Therefore, on days when the Moon is in these signs, do not replant plants and it is advisable not to sow seeds.
Lunar calendar and moon phase Pavlodar (Kazakhstan), July 2021
The lunar calendar dates back to time immemorial, when the study of the moon was reduced to simple visual observation. Today we have access to mathematical models that allow us to predict with high accuracy the phase of the moon, its position and many other parameters. This allows you to create a complete calendar of lunar days for a month, a year and any period.
As the Moon moves around the Earth, and the Earth moves around the Sun, the Moon periodically changes the appearance of its illumination, which is called the phase of the moon. The phases are usually divided into quarters: “new moon”, “first quarter”, “full moon”, “last quarter”. Sometimes the phases of the moon are divided into 8 parts, adding after each of the main phases such as “new moon”, “waxing moon”, “waning moon” and “old moon”. Our site allows you to find out what phase the moon is in today, as well as view the calendar of phases by year.
The lunar calendar consists of 29 or 30 lunar days, which are counted during the repetition of the lunar phase, such as the new moon. This method of counting intervals is called the synodic lunar calendar.
Since the lunar day does not coincide with the solar day, the lunar month differs from the calendar month. By analogy with a calendar day, a lunar day begins and ends with moonrise, which can occur at any time of the day.
The lunar calendar has many uses and is useful not only to astronomers and mystics. During the rising and setting of the moon, when it is close to the horizon, an optical illusion is created in which it appears to be much larger than when the moon is high in the sky. Keep this in mind if you want to create a romantic moment outdoors. If you are a photographer, then know that the best shot can be taken at the moment of a supermoon - this is the phase of the full moon at the moment it is at perigee - the point of minimum distance from the Earth. What lunar day is it today that a gardener needs to know, because the gravity of the moon affects all living nature and its biorhythms. Therefore, it is important to know on which lunar day it is better to plant or feed plants. Today is lunar day: 21, moon phase now:
