Signs, phases for March 28-April 3

Planting information

Here’s this week’s planting by the phases of the moon and signs of the zodiac information for March 28 through April 3. Be sure to check the average last date for frost in your area if you are planting anything that is frost-sensitive, according to your planting zone and don’t plant if your soil is wet.

The moon is in the dark phase now and that will continue until the new moon at 7:34 a.m. EDT on April 7. If you are planting veggies, make it below-ground producers like potatoes, onions and radishes: what we eat is below the ground. Also, if you are starting your own plants for the garden then likewise be starting below-ground producers.

According to the signs of the zodiac, Monday begins a series of so-so signs that continues through April 3, all with the moon in the dark phase. Specifically, Sagittarius (thighs) first two days; Capricorn (knees) next two days; and Aquarius rounding it out April 1-3. These signs aren’t especially fertile but they’re not destructive either – just so-so.

When you add April 4-5 to the stretch, those two days ruled by the very fertile sign Pisces (the feet), you have an incredibly long stretch for making changes like starting a diet or exercise program, stopping smoking, weaning small animals or children, scheduling elective surgery – anything that involves a change.

I receive a lot of inquiries from folks regarding when the best time is to make whatever change they want to make may be. Well, here you have it beginning March 27 and continuing on through April 5 – nine days. These days fit the formula perfectly with the moon in the dark phase and the signs going out of the body past anything that function, namely Sagittarius/thighs through Pisces/feet.

What you DON’T want to be doing until April 7 is pouring gravel or laying rock because the dark moon is in force until 7:24 a.m. Let’s wait until the moon is in the light phase to put down those rocks.

If you have questions, don’t hesitate to be in touch.
