Can someone describe for me how to figure out the set/hatch dates, I'm trying to understand the fruitful dates etc

post #153 of 221

There are "fruitful days" between the full and new moons...the dates are listed in a farmer's almanac...I'm not sure exactly how it's figured out!

Do you set or hatch on fruitful dates. Hatch if the word fruitful means abundance and such

Kathy, I have the missing dates, but I figured them out myself from this website. I also looked at all the dates you have listed and some of them are not right on with the moon's signs (or the fruitful signs.)  Please forgive my lack of technical terms. 

 

Mar 29-30

April  7-8, 16-17, 26-27

May 3-4, 7-8, 16-17, 26-27, 30-2

July 6, 27

August 3-4, 13-14, 22-23, 30-31

Dec 9, 19, 27

 

Also, based on the fruitful dates under the waxing moon, the very best dates to hatch on are only about twice a month.

 

Those dates are:

Jan 25-26

Feb 4-5, 21-22

Mar 2-3, 29-30

Apr 26-27

May 3-4, 26-27, 30-31

Jun 1-2, 19-20, 28-29

Jul 25-26

Aug 22-23, 30-31

Sep 1, 18-19, 27-28

Oct 15-16, 24-25

Nov 12-13, 20-21

Dec 17-18, 27-28

 

BTW:  I thought I would share this little story with you.  My husband asked me what I was doing.  I replied, "I am figuring out the best dates of the year to hatch eggs, based on the lunar cycle and the planets locations.  Yep, sounds absolutely CRAZY!
