Signs for April 30-May 6

Some of you have asked for a weekly breakdown of the moon’s phases and zodiac signs for the week so you can make your gardening plans. Here’s what’s up for this week beginning today, April 30, and continuing through Sunday, May 6. And it’s a dandy week for planting for sure!

The moon is in the light phase until the last 25 minutes of Saturday, 11:35 p.m. EDT to be precise. Thus through this week proceed with only light-moon activities and above-ground-producing veggie planting. Then beginning Sunday and until the new moon on May 20, only below-ground producing veggies and dark moon activities.

The zodiac signs find a series flowering signs beginning today and continuing through Friday, May 4. Virgo (the bowels) rules the first three of those days, Monday through Wednesday, with Libra (the reins) finishing it out the week on Thursday and Friday.

Saturday the moon moves to the dark phase (at 11:35 p.m.) so most of the day is under the influence of the light moon.

The sign May 5-7 – a WEEKEND – is Scorpio (the secrets). Most all of Derby Day will be with the light moon in force then Sunday and Monday, May 6-7 will be with the dark moon ruling.
