The moon extends its stay in the constellation of Scorpio, providing an additional opportunity for sowing and transplanting leafy plants. As the moon has nearly reached its lowest point on the horizon in its sidereal rhythm, indicating its upcoming ascent, it facilitates forces that move downward through the plant. This assists in the development of stronger roots, particularly advantageous when relocating plants to a new environment. It's also an ideal time for pruning tasks, such as trimming hedges and felling timber, as the sap movement is slower. Pruning during a descending moon helps prevent sap leakage from the plants, thus retaining their life forces.
