O. Zarayev. “Interpretation of Lunar Days
Full Moon. The entire day is favorable, as it significantly amplifies the aura of most people; therefore, creative and spiritual individuals can accomplish the maximum of their plans and manifest their abilities at the highest level without dissatisfaction or even aggression.
“Days from the Birth of the Moon” by Albert the Great
A fortunate day. Especially in trade, particularly in livestock. Dreams are truthful. Children will live long lives.
Zuirnyeva T.M. “30 lunar days. All about each day. Lunar calendar.” It is called “Butterfly” or “Dove”. This is a day of balance between the physical and astral body. On this day, it is useful to perform physical exercises that promote harmony. The simplest one: on half-bent legs, spread wider than shoulders, swing to the right and left. Thus, you balance your central energy axis. In the leg where there will be more load, and there will be an excess of energy. Thus, transferring the body from one leg to the other with a straight back and relaxed spine, we establish a balanced state. On the 16th lunar day, you should engage in peacemaking, conduct ritual ablutions, especially if the Moon is in Aquarius. Ritual washing is performed with consecrated water, i.e. you should wash not under the shower, but from a basin. You need to pour water into a basin and consecrate it with a cross or circles in a clockwise direction (with an open right palm, draw circles over the water 3-10 times, or more). The water temperature is room temperature. Then you start ritual washing. Usually, we wash from top to bottom. Ritual washing is done the other way around. We wash from the legs and move the washcloth from bottom to top, starting from the leg (for a woman – with the left, and for a man – with the right). We make movements all the time from bottom to top. Then we wash the second leg, then the front and back. We also wash our hands, starting from the fingertips. After that, you can wash yourself clean, hygienically, as usual. This process requires attention, and, as a rule, it is a bit annoying, since these are unnatural movements for us. But we must remember that each movement removes, as it were, a skin from us, and there is a cleansing of the physical and astral body. If the water is dirty, it can be changed. Then you wash your head in another water and in another basin, since the body belongs to the earthly, and the head belongs to the divine world. Then, if you want, you can wash under the shower, and after that, you need to perform ritual rinsing. You again pour water into a basin, consecrate it, and pour it over your head. After that, you can pour holy water over your head, which you took in the temple. This is a wonderful remedy, you will feel the result immediately. If you pour holy water before ritual washing, your problems will be replaced by a multitude of small problems. On this day, you cannot shout and behave rudely. You need to maintain calm and not disturb harmony, so that nothing happens to you on this day. That is, you should try to stay in a state of harmony and balance, even if someone has offended you. Violation of harmony on this day (envy, aggression, anger) leads to a fall, even if you cleansed yourself the previous month. This can nullify all previous practices. Sex is contraindicated on this day, but not as unconditionally as on the 15th lunar day. You should not eat mushrooms and animal food. You should not make any deals on this day, there are products that carry phallic symbols, for example, carrots. It is unfavorable to feed birds on this day, although this is the day of the dove. The butterfly undergoes a very strong transformation. First, it is a caterpillar, then a pupa, and then a butterfly. The life of a butterfly lasts only 9 days. This day should become the final of the previous 15 days, the practice of renewal, cleansing. It is good to meditate on the symbols by which the days are named. This will help you focus and reach the depth of those processes that occur every lunar day. Therefore, on this day, it is favorable to look at a butterfly, read about butterflies, about doves. There is a Zodiac, each degree of which corresponds to any animal. The planets that are in this degree will manifest through the specificity of the behavior of this animal. If you were born on the day of the Bull (23 degrees of Taurus) and read about the Bull, then one day you will be able to understand your problems. Similarly, if we think about the symbols associated with the lunar day, our problems will be highlighted in a different light, and we will see what was previously hidden. The 16th lunar day is associated with the spleen. It needs to be cleaned. The Manipura chakra corresponds to this day. Incorrect use of the energy of this day, shouting, anger will lead to blood diseases. If you stained your clothes on this day, it is also a sign of spiritual uncleanness. The butterfly is like the result of a temporary process. Therefore, people born on this day can work with time and can make unconscious corrections to the past. People who do not develop often have a feeling that they are being limited. And most often, all their life passes in a struggle with these limitations. Such people should understand that all these limitations are illusory, and in fact, they are the freest people. Such people are given the opportunity to achieve a very high goal, since their soul is free – they were born on the full moon in opposition, the Moon to the Sun. They, of course, have problems between the spirit and the soul, but they are given a huge energy to use this freedom. People of a high spiritual level, who realize these spiritual heights in themselves, are usually very merciful and do not judge others. People born on the 16th lunar day should strive for this. We do not have the right to judge other people, but we can only make our own conclusions about the reaction to our own life. People of a high level, born on this day, love to dress in light clothes and have one unique ability – unconscious construction of a phantom, their mental models often live independently. Suppose, if they see a strong defender in someone, their thought in this way charges this person, and on the astral-mental plane, it will act. But for everything, we receive retribution, including for the created phantom – a reward or punishment. Therefore, people of the 16th lunar day should monitor their thoughts and remember that they may not be able to cope with their models. If you catch yourself on a bad thought, you should immediately get rid of it. How? Everything depends on the element that prevails in you. But you should always strive not to develop bad thoughts. Treatment of hernia. The ritual is performed on the waning Moon. It is better to start from the 16th lunar day. For this, you need one or two copper coins (for a two-sided hernia). You can take copper plates. The cleaner the copper, the better. If the hernia is in a child, then the mother should do it. In any case, it should be a person who has a good attitude towards the patient. When touching the hernia, you should say: “Hernia, hernia, I want to gnaw on you all my life”. Repeat three times. Then this place is applied with a copper plate and attached with a plaster. You should start at sunrise, and the person walks with this plate all day. Then, before sunset, the plate is removed, washed in drinking water. The water is then poured into the toilet. Then the ritual is performed again with the same words. When you glue the plate with a plaster, you should read a prayer to the guardian angel, to the saint or to God: Do this twice a day at sunrise and sunset for three days. At night, sleep with the plate. In the morning, wash it again and put it on again after the ritual. Then do this only at sunset for 4 days. The man walks with this plate until the next sunset. Usually, 7 days is enough. If the hernia does not go away immediately, then you need to repeat the ritual on the next 16th lunar day. As a rule, it goes away quickly. If you do everything, you will connect to the general flow of decline. Ritual in the full moon In the full moon, rituals are performed with the Moon, when you can enter this flow and remove almost any disease. The ritual is performed on the 1st lunar day immediately after the moonrise, but already after the full moon. You need to see the Moon in the open space when it rises. Stand with your back to the Moon, spread your legs wide, lean forward and see the Moon in this position. Looking at the Moon, say to her: “Mother Moon, take with you everything that is extra in me (salt, tumor, etc.)”. Say this three times without taking your eyes off the Moon. This is very effective. The first three days you will feel like something is being pulled out of you. As a rule, it is very difficult to see the full moon. Usually, in the full moon, it rains or is cloudy for 3 days. The Moon hides. They say: “The Moon is washed for three days”.To see the full Moon is great fortune. You can address the Moon directly, but the effect will be lesser, because in its inclined position its energy turns back and activates in reverse. It is very good if you can perform this ritual for three consecutive months. It is quite difficult to see the Moon from this position; you need to be on an elevation or a flat, open space.
If you have pain in a specific place, then, standing in a slanted position and looking at the Moon, you must take a pinch of earth from under your left heel with the hand opposite to the painful spot (in this case, the right hand) and move it clockwise around that place three times. Then throw that earth over your left shoulder and spit there three times. You must do this once so that no one disturbs or interrupts you. If the sore spot is on the right, take a handful of earth with your left hand. All the while, stand with your back to the Moon and look at it upside down. Of course, this looks funny, but many peoples have similar practices.
At the New Moon, it is for the growth of something; at the Full Moon, it is for deliverance from the unnecessary. Addressing the Mother Moon should end with the words: “Let all this go (or grow) with you.”
