Why 85 points on Tuesday 18 August?
The MoonScore aggregates traditional lunar-calendar rules (Paungger/Poppe, folk tradition, Maria Thun). It does not represent any scientifically established effect.
* Traditions disagree on this rule — it counts at half weight.
When is the next good day for lawn mowing?
Tuesday 18 August — Very favorable (85/100).
Should you mow the lawn during a waxing or waning moon?
It depends on your goal: for a dense lawn, folk tradition recommends the waxing moon; for slower regrowth — meaning less frequent mowing — Paungger/Poppe recommend the waning moon.
Which zodiac days are good for mowing the lawn?
Leaf days — the moon in a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) — are considered favourable in folk tradition for both goals, especially when you want a dense lawn.
