For a super excellent time to germinate seeds, try Dec 4,after 1:23 pm EST until Dec 6 9:43 pm EST.

FIRST QUARTER OF THE MOON BENEFITS: This quarter is for planting annuals producing their yield above the ground which are generally of the leafy kind.

SECOND QUARTER OF THE MOON BENEFITS: Good for planting crops of the leafy type that produce their seed inside the fruit.

VERY BEST TIME TO PLANT: The moon enters Pisces Thurs. Dec 4 . This is a very fruitful time as the moon is in the 1st quarter.

The moon enters the second quarter at 4:25 pm EST on the 5th. This will slightly decrease seed germination power.

Sat. Dec 6th at 9:44 pm EST the moon enters the barren sign of Aries. Thus planting seed at this time typically reduces the amount of seed that germinates.


Hope this helps anyone interested in the benefits of planting with the moon's signs. This method increases germination rates up to 96% as compared to 56% germination rate without moon's benefit.
