1st Lunar Day
P.P. Globa. “What the Moon Hides”
Symbol — a lamp, a light, a lantern, but it can also be Hecate’s altar. Also — Athena Parthenos, who emerges fully armed from Zeus’ head.
Anatomical correspondence: face, forehead.
Action: thought.
Names: lamp, ray, Ashvini, birth of Athena Parthenos. Creative ideas.
Symbolically connected to the first 12 degrees of Aries.
No affairs should be started on this day; it is better to plan them only. What we plan on this day can later be successfully realized, even without our intervention. In this sense, it is a magical day when we can create imaginary images and mental forms in consciousness that will later manifest. To think on the first day of the Moon “about the wrong things” is very reckless: we may create realities that can later bring misfortune. This is a very pure day.
Household influence: neutral; unfavorable for travel and trade.
Mystical influence: Images and thought-forms created on this lunar day are very stable and create focused, unrelenting action. Creative ideas and plans.
Social influence: weakly negative; avoid partnerships, do not seek contact or communication. Important matters should not be started; current ones are better postponed.
Medically, the first day of the Moon is associated with the brain and the facial part of the head: avoid overworking, consuming alcohol, eating spicy or very hot food on this day. Illnesses are long but the patient recovers. Most often, there is an exacerbation of diseases related to stone formation, blockages, etc. Claustrophobia intensifies.
People born on the first day of the Moon always wait for something great; they may live their whole lives without ever seeing their shining hour. Sometimes inspiration strikes them, and they perform a feat: they must engage in activity suddenly and brilliantly. Heroes.
Influence on conception: a child conceived on this day is protected by Heaven. The born are endowed with strong willpower and a long, interesting life. A boy may become a priest. However, for conception on this day, long spiritual and physical fasting is necessary for preparation.
Physiologically, this is a difficult day that compresses the internal organs. If recommendations are violated, energy may be drained into the internal organs, potentially leading to stone formation. While there is no illness yet, it must not be allowed to arise and develop.
On the first day, diamonds and crystal can be worn, but with caution: a diamond is not suitable for everyone.
Meditation: candle.
O. Zarayev. “Interpretation of Lunar Days”
New Moon. The influence is unfavorable for both group and individual activities. The greatest effect of individual work comes from contact with nature, as well as turning to books, advice from relatives or friends. Bio-potential is low, so the risk of acute exacerbation of chronic diseases is high and dangerous. The likelihood of their manifestation is extremely low. Illusions, self-deception, and dreams, as well as a craving for sensory pleasures, often captivate the minds of many people.
“Days from the Birth of the Moon” by Albert the Great
Unlucky for those who fall ill; illnesses are prolonged but not fatal. Dreams on this day are prophetic. A child born on it will be long-lived.
Zyurnyaeva T.M. “30 Lunar Days. Everything About Each Day. Lunar Calendar.” Has three names: “Lamp,” “Icon Lamp,” and “Third Eye,” and thus three levels of manifestation. The process that occurs on this day is the purification of the soul by fire. In the rays of the Sun, the impurities of the soul burn away. Recommended practices:
– Breathing exercises for mental purification;
– Focusing attention on fire, especially if the Moon has entered an air sign — all fears and negative influences burn away.
Therefore, it is beneficial to sit before a candle, a bonfire, or a fireplace. On this day, we bring to the level of consciousness what burdens us. It is necessary to examine all negative situations and grievances from the perspective of learning lessons.
If a person cannot recall anything negative on this day, it means there is nothing burdensome in the soul. If you regularly engage in such practices, the soul will purify itself, you will no longer react to life from the position of past grievances, and you will not suspect others of intending to offend you. Life will become much more joyful, and your reaction to negative situations will improve.
A special practice to perform on this day is the construction of mental models. After cleansing your mind of distracting memories, you can build mental models. On the first lunar day, we are given the opportunity to create a phantom of what we desire, and this phantom will then live independently. Events will naturally attract and contribute to the realization of your desire.
Breathing exercises for mental purification.
First exercise. Standing, inhale, filling your lungs, stretch upward, and immediately exhale with complete relaxation of the upper half of the torso. Exhale with a sound and a forward bend, similar to the “HA” breathing technique. The mental body is directly connected to the physical through breath. A person thinks only when they breathe. By interrupting breathing, a person stops the flow of thought. Repeat several times until intrusive thoughts disappear and your mood improves.
Second exercise. Lying down, relaxed, observe your breathing: how the air passes through the nose, throat, fills the lungs, expands the chest, how it falls on the exhale, etc., that is, concentrate on this natural process, which we usually do not notice. Then take a calm inhale and a full exhale with a pause on the exhale. Do not breathe, but observe your body as the chest continues to rise and fall in rhythm with breathing, even though you are not inhaling. You should observe this process with curiosity and tell yourself: “I do not want to breathe, I feel pleasant.” Hold your breath until a pleasant state is achieved, not until suffocation (15–30 seconds). During this time, the chest will rise and fall 2–3 times. The inhale should be slow and calm. After each exercise, balance your breathing. To do this, take several breaths and exhales, then repeat the exercise. Perform the exercise up to three times; it is very powerful. Such breathing can be used when it is difficult to fall asleep — restless thoughts will dissipate, and the mind will clear.
Constructing a mental model
You must imagine yourself as you will be when your desire is fulfilled. This is not the process of fulfilling your desire but the final result. Suppose you have planned to do something. You must see this desired image as if it were a picture. The image may not appear immediately; concentration is required.
When you clearly see your desired image with your eyes closed, frame it in an oval, as if limiting this image with an oval. Surround the oval with a blue glow. (This practice relates to the saying: “What would you like to be brought to you on a saucer with a blue rim?” You can make such a saucer with a blue rim yourself on the first lunar day.)
It is essential to think carefully before wishing what will happen when the desire is fulfilled. In all Eastern schools, they come to the understanding that nothing should be wished for, because every fulfilled desire changes our way of life, and a person may not be ready for it. To make this process go more smoothly, you must hold a stone associated with the first lunar day — lapis lazuli — in your left hand at the level of the first lunar day’s chakra. Lapis lazuli contains the energy of Uranus, Jupiter, and Venus. Jupiter and Venus bring accumulation and expansion, while Uranus introduces a lucky chance. However, the stone must be personal to you and polished, at least on one side. The stone will help accumulate and concentrate the energy of the first lunar day.
On the first lunar day, one should not engage in mass practices or contacts. Spicy and hot food is prohibited. This day is associated with the “Third Eye” chakra. It should not be confused with Ajna, which is located in the center of the forehead. The “Third Eye” chakra is located in the center between the eyebrows, almost on the bridge of the nose.
The first day is associated with the bridge of the nose, eyes, brain, and the entire face. If a person develops a rash on the face or injures their head on the first lunar day, it is a bad sign: they have violated the requirements of the first day. Suppose a person eats improperly, and the elimination process affects the organs corresponding to the lunar day. If a person does not use mental energy as intended and “sours” it, this can lead to the formation of stones in internal organs (kidneys, gallbladder, etc.).
People born on the first lunar day continue to work with the mind only at the subconscious level. As a rule, what is conceived on the first lunar day is realized in their lives, provided, of course, that the desire is pure enough. Such people need to be very careful with their emotions and closely monitor their thoughts. Their thoughts manifest and act more strongly than in other people.
There is a saying: “If you wish with certainty, the desire will come true.” This expression applies to all people, for the essence of magic is FAITH, WILL, ATTENTION. However, a person can only imagine what they know and have an idea about.
You can and should do, consume:
– Mental cleansing
– Recall the past
– Forgive those who have offended you
You should not do or must refrain from:
– Spicy and hot food
– Consuming alcohol
– Overexertion
– Group gatherings
