18th Lunar Day
P.P. Globa. “What the Moon Keeps Silent”
Symbolic correspondence: 25th degree of Libra – 6th degree of Scorpio.
Anatomical correspondence: kidneys.
Action: purification.
Names: Hanuman, mirror, ice.
Symbol – mirror, ice, monkey, image of the sacred Egyptian baboon dedicated to Anubis; Hanuman, the noble leader of monkeys in the Indian epic, is also associated with this day.
The day is passive, difficult for some people, as it can become a day of falling into sin. A person who does not wish to struggle with their lower instincts is tormented by nightmares and temptations; hidden obstacles manifest, creating the impression that someone is trying to divert you from the true path.
Social influence: Dangerous. The sense of subordination, one’s own and others’ imperfection, is heightened. Any mood strongly affects the situation. Good for those with acting talents.
Household influence: Slightly unfavorable. Bad for marriage. Good for travel.
Mystical influence: A day of deception, intrigue, and machinations. It is necessary to practice purification of the body and mind. Strong mimicry, imitation, and the ability to transform and change images prevail. Avoid planning, avoid labeling. The day is associated with imitation, mimicry, and passive adoption of others’ thoughts. Everyone must work on their bad and impure thoughts; developing an objective view of the world, try to see yourself from the side, abandon illusions, and reject base instincts. What happens on the eighteenth day can be illustrated by the following image: the surrounding reality is like a mirror reflection of our inner essence, our thoughts, and actions. Each of us deserves our own mirror: one is crooked, another is smooth and pure, a third seems to have a shard of mirror in their eye, so they see everything distorted. In short, the mirror shows us what we have worked on during this lunar phase.
On this day, everyone must renounce vanity and egoism. Drinking and smoking are contraindicated; it is beneficial to cleanse the intestines; many spiritual teachers recommend fasting.
From a medical standpoint, attention should be paid to the kidneys: they weaken on this day. Skin diseases may appear, hidden wounds may open (with any diagnosis and treatment, extreme caution is required). If something like this happens, it means the person has violated the law of cosmic evolution.
It is recommended to cleanse the skin, massage, wash, rejuvenate, steam baths with good steam, sleep less – otherwise, you may end up exhausted. It is undesirable to consume meat – nuts and more vegetable oil (including as a massage oil) are better.
People born on this day have acting talent, mostly comedic; they bring everything to absurdity, seeing the world upside down. These are people “without backbone,” who can imagine themselves as the crown of creation – and then their path will be pitiful and low: they may descend into complete cynicism and destruction. They often get entangled in their own illusions and show no mercy to either the guilty or the innocent.
High individuals, i.e., those who walk the high path, are like pure mirrors, capable of reflecting the mystery of Hanuman, whose task is to serve a lofty ideal; these are creative people, capable of self-sacrifice and heroic deeds, yet they can remain modest and unnoticed; healers.
Influence on conception: A child conceived on this day may be unhealthy, but will be wealthy. They will be intelligent and hardworking. Such people are respected by others. The main thing is not to let them consider themselves absolute, otherwise, illusions will collapse, and loneliness awaits them in the future.
Meditation: theater.
Signatures: white agate, opal, amethyst, spinel.
Stones – white agate, opal, purple amethyst, spinel.
O. Zarayev. “Interpretation of Lunar Days”
The first half is disharmonious and fraught with the emergence of aggression and the appearance of unexpected problems “out of nowhere.” Business connections and contacts may be difficult, and vanity, self-conceit, and egoism can drive away reliable partners, superiors, or authorities. Problems can be resolved through negotiations, and even by the emergence of new plans or ideas.
“Days from the Birth of the Moon” by Albert the Great
The day is quite fortunate. Dreams come true. Children born on this day will be hardworking and wealthy (will prosper).
Zyurnyaeva T.M. “30 Lunar Days. Everything About Each Day. Lunar Calendar.” The names of this day are “Mirror,” “Monkey,” “Ice,” “Aspid.” Aspid is one of the vampires. This day is considered not very favorable. It involves the cognition of man, the process of anthropogenesis. It is implied that after achieving inner harmony, a person can realize themselves, their development, and who they are. Each person has their own mirror in which they see the world. And from what happens to us on the 18th lunar day, we will be able to assess what kind of mirror we have: crooked, enlarged, diminished, or even a shattered fragment that distorts reality. Everything that happens to us on this day reflects our essence. This will also be indicated by our reactions: what we respond to positively and what negatively. However, we must still evaluate any situation as a reflection of our essence. Our life is as we perceive it and how we react to it. The only way to change something is to change our reaction to life.
Events of the 18th lunar day reflect our complexes and actions. It is essential to control our thoughts. Not only should we work on ourselves on this day, but we should also help others in this process, as our actions toward others will serve as a mirror for them as well.
The 18th lunar day is a day of assistance and protection, so we should sleep less on this day. Fasting and cleansing the intestines are favorable. If you feel inclined to go to bed early, it is a signal that you are being excluded from conscious work. Once you start working with lunar days, obstacles will immediately begin to interfere, but you must overcome them. As soon as a person makes a conscious choice toward good, dark forces will arm themselves against them.
On this day, it is good to visit the bathhouse, cleanse the skin, perform individual ablutions, especially if the Moon is in Aquarius or another air sign. Massages are beneficial. You should not display vanity, egoism, or negative emotions. It is not recommended to consume animal food, tobacco, or alcohol; nuts and oil are beneficial.
This day is associated with the kidneys and the Svadhishthana chakra, located above the pubic bone, which generates the universal energy Udana, directed toward the development of higher centers. Therefore, the process of the human subconscious can also manifest through sexual energy and the energy of Udana. It is beneficial to cleanse the kidneys. If you misuse this energy, you may encounter obstacles on this day, attempts to mislead or seduce you.
Nightmares may occur if you do not strive to know yourself. This can also affect the skin: rashes, even eczema. Purulent wounds may open on this day.
People born on the 18th lunar day can vary greatly, depending on their spiritual choice. Those who are ready to recognize their actions and live wisely are people who see the world as it is. Since they have a correct understanding of the world, they can guide others. If such a person gives you advice on this day, you should listen to them. Such people can be healers (from the word “whole,” to help a person become whole). They have a clear, direct mirror and are always ready to help others.
People who do not work on themselves tend to be hypocritical. On the day of the Monkey, they may mimic others, enjoy turning everything upside down, and have a crooked mirror in their eye. They are often possessed and impose their distorted worldview on others. They are very dangerous; such people must be recognized. When speaking with such a person, they distort the meaning of your words because they are incapable of understanding you.
