It is preferable to plant above-ground plants during the water signs of Cancer, Pisces, & Scorpio, and the root plants during the earth signs of Capricorn, Taurus, & Virgo. 

The fire signs of Aries, Leo, & Sagittarius are best for the spicier plants, although oddly enough apples are best planted during a fire sign also. If you really like the spicy peppers, then also use a mild fertilizer during a fire sign. However, a strong fertilizer used during a fire sign will do more harm than good to the plants.

So, when spring arrives you're now ready to plant by the Moon! Good luck and happy gardening!

Blessings!
