O. Zaraev. “Interpretation of Lunar Days” The period is unfavorable, as the sincerity of intentions and plans is being tested. A person is essentially taking an exam in strength of spirit, honesty, and endurance. Discrepancies and conflicts, manifestations of some instability, require adaptability and the ability to achieve competence. Emotional volatility. Sexual contacts and romantic relationships during this period may turn into quarrels, hurt feelings, or unfulfilled desires.
“Days from the Moon’s Birth” by Albertus Magnus An unfortunate day. Nothing should be done. Illnesses are dangerous. Dreams come true. Children are good.
Zyrnyayeva T.M. “30 Lunar Days. Everything About Each Day. Lunar Calendar.” Symbols “Chalice” and “Heart”. On this day, after the transformation of the main life force has taken place, the energy of cosmic love is activated. A person can come to know what cosmic love is. On the 12th lunar day, the process continues of wisdom overcoming the mind and emotions, resulting in inner peace and spiritual strengthening. It is necessary to consciously engage in this process, purify your thoughts, and focus on water. This is a day of solitude, prayer, and self-attention. You should plan it so as to spend some time alone and connect with the corresponding energies, concentrating on the center of the 12th day—Anahata.
Immersing your full attention into this center of love, you should try to visualize your own flower. For some, it is open; for others, withered; for some, covered with thorns, or glowing as if its stamens are shining. Each person must open the flower of wisdom.
This is a day of gifts and grace. On the 12th lunar day, you should give gifts, and also fulfill all requests addressed to you. Then your own requests to your guardian angel will also be fulfilled. The twelfth day is a day of prayer, just like the seventh. You may turn to your angel with a request, but your request must not cause harm to others. It is important to restore relationships with people. This is the most favorable day for a positive response to your initiative, because all people unconsciously sense these energies.
A good beginning is generally not rejected. You should also reconcile if the other person has made a step toward you. This day is called “Heart.” Heart-centered relationships are based on mutual understanding and maturity. This day is also called “Chalice,” by association with the Holy Grail—the wisdom that a person draws from it.
What should not be done on this day? You should not relax, cry, or become angry. You should avoid placing physical strain on the heart. The organ associated with the lunar day always requires protection. There are specific practices for cleansing the heart muscle that should be performed on this day.
The danger awaiting us on this day is pity. Pity must be active. Yes, this is a day of mercy, but we should not parasitize on ourselves. Most often, people do not want to change their situation but merely expect to be pitied, feeding on the energy of those who listen. Therefore, one must be cautious on this day.
If someone tells you about their negative situation on the 12th lunar day, you must immediately suggest ways to change it and observe how the person responds to your advice. If they do not listen, you should end the contact and leave. Of course, you should help a person in a critical situation, but afterward, they must work on their own.
Remember that pity leads to nothing good, as we cannot judge another person’s path. There is a parable: “A man was walking along a road and saw a snail. He thought someone else might crush it, so he picked it up and threw it to the roadside.” But the snail had been crawling all day toward that very spot from which it was removed; it needed to go in the opposite direction. Thus, the compassionate person prevented the snail from moving along its own path. This is exactly what we must learn to distinguish. Generally, you should help only when asked. Each person must work on their own destiny.
The 12th day grants wisdom to rise above emotions and pity, and to strengthen spiritually. You should deal with others’ problems only when it is truly necessary to show them their path, but never do anything for them. Otherwise, you take on part of that person’s karma, as it becomes your choice.
If after communicating with someone your heart aches on this day, you should leave them so they can resolve their problems alone. Pain may also occur in the skull. The skull is the chalice of anger.
If on this day you cry, become angry, or resentful, you will develop a headache. The chalice can be filled with either anger or grace. If you fall ill on the 12th lunar day, it is a sign that you are squandering wisdom and using it incorrectly.
It is recommended to take an infusion of centaury, which helps assimilate these energies. It is beneficial to eat nuts and seeds, but not right before an eclipse. Cleansing procedures for the heart and lungs are advised. It is good to take herbs that promote expectoration for prevention: elecampane, coltsfoot, sage, and violet. This supports cleansing of the upper respiratory tract. The chakra of the day is Anahata.
People born on the 12th day are rarely bad. They live consciously, develop spiritually, and can become healers.
On the 12th day, revelatory dreams often occur.
