18th Lunar Day
P.P. Globa. “What the Moon Keeps Silent” Symbolic correspondence: 25th degree Libra – 6th degree Scorpio.
Anatomical correspondence: kidneys.
Action: purification.
Names: Hanuman, mirror, ice.
Symbol – mirror, ice, monkey, image of the sacred Egyptian baboon dedicated to Anubis; also related is Hanuman – noble leader of monkeys in Indian epic. This is a passive day, difficult for some people, as it may become a day of moral downfall. Those who do not wish to struggle with their lower instincts are overcome by nightmares and temptations; hidden obstacles manifest – creating the impression that someone is trying to divert you from your true path.
Social influence: Dangerous. Sensitivity to subordination, one’s own and others’ imperfections, intensifies. Any mood has strong impact. Favorable for those possessing acting talents.
Domestic influence: Slightly unfavorable. Unfavorable for marriage. Good for travel.
Mystical influence: Day of deception, intrigues, manipulations. It is necessary to practice purification of body and mind. Mimicry, imitation, ability to transform and change images are especially strong this day. Avoid making plans or assigning labels.
This day is associated with imitation, mimicry, passive adoption of others’ thoughts. Everyone must work with their negative and impure thoughts; developing an objective view of the world, one should try to see oneself from the outside, renounce illusions and base instincts. What occurs on the eighteenth day can be illustrated by the following image: surrounding reality is like a mirror reflection of our inner essence, our thoughts and actions. Each of us deserves our own mirror: one person’s is distorted, another’s straight and clear, while a third has a mirror splinter in the eye, thus seeing everything in a warped manner. In short, the mirror shows us during this lunar day what we have cultivated.
On this day, everyone should renounce vanity and egoism. Alcohol consumption and smoking are contraindicated; cleansing the intestines is beneficial; many spiritual teachers have recommended fasting.
Medically, attention should be paid to the kidneys: they are weakened on this day. Skin diseases may appear, hidden wounds may open (one must be very cautious with any diagnosis and treatment). If something like this happens, it means the person has violated the law of cosmic evolution.
Skin cleansing, massages, washing, rejuvenation, steam baths with good vapor are recommended; sleep less – otherwise you may wake up feeling drained. Consumption of meat is undesirable – nuts and more vegetable oil are preferable (including as massage oil).
People born on this day possess acting talent, mostly comedic; all who carry things to absurdity, seeing the world upside down. These are people “without a backbone,” who may imagine themselves as the crown of creation – and then their path becomes pitiful and low: they may descend into complete cynicism and destruction. Often they become entangled in their own illusions and begin to care neither for the innocent nor the guilty.
Elevated individuals, that is, those who walk the higher path, are like pure mirrors; in them may be reflected the mystery of Hanuman, whose task is service to a high ideal; these are creative individuals capable of self-sacrifice and heroism, yet may remain humble and unnoticed; healers.
Influence on conception: A child conceived on this day may be unhealthy, but wealth awaits. Will be intelligent and hardworking. Such people are respected by others. The main thing is not to allow the child to consider themselves absolute, otherwise disillusionment and loneliness lie ahead.
Meditation: theater.
Signatures: white agate, opal, amethyst, spinel.
Stones – white agate, opal, lilac amethyst, spinel.
O. Zaraev. “Interpretation of Lunar Days” First half – disharmonious and prone to emergence of aggression and unexpected problems appearing “out of nowhere.” Business connections and contacts may be hindered, while self-admiration, vanity, and egoism may alienate reliable partners, superiors, or management. Problems can be resolved through negotiations, and even lead to emergence of new plans or ideas.
“Days from Moon’s Birth” according to Albertus Magnus A fairly fortunate day. Dreams come true. Children born will be industrious and wealthy (will become rich).
Zyrnyayeva T.M. “30 Lunar Days. Everything About Each Day. Lunar Calendar.” Names of this day – “Mirror,” “Monkey,” “Ice,” “Aspid.” Aspid is one of the vampires. This day is considered not very favorable. It involves human self-perception, the process of anthropogenesis. It implies that once a person achieves inner harmony, they become capable of recognizing themselves, their development, and their true nature. Every person has their own mirror in which they see the world. And from what happens to us on the 18th lunar day, we can assess what kind of mirror we possess: distorted, magnifying, minimizing, or merely a fragment that distorts reality. Everything that occurs on this day is a reflection of our essence.
Our reactions will also indicate this: what we respond to positively and what we react to negatively. Nevertheless, any situation must be evaluated as a reflection of our essence. Our life is exactly as we perceive it and how we react to it. The only way to change anything is to change our reaction to life.
Events of the 18th lunar day reflect our complexes and actions. It is essential to control your thoughts. We must not only work on ourselves this day but also help others in this process, since our actions toward another person will serve as a mirror for that individual.
The 18th lunar day is a day of assistance and protection, therefore one should sleep less. Fasting and intestinal cleansing are favorable. If you feel drawn to go to bed early, it is a signal that you are being disconnected from conscious work. As soon as you begin working with lunar days, obstacles will immediately arise, but you must overcome them. As soon as a person makes a conscious choice toward good, dark forces will be armed against them.
On this day, it is beneficial to visit a sauna, cleanse the skin, and perform individual ablutions, especially if the Moon is in Aquarius or another air sign. Massages are also beneficial. Vanity, egoism, and negative emotions must not be expressed. Consumption of animal food, tobacco, and alcohol is not recommended. It is beneficial to eat nuts and oil.
This day is associated with the kidneys and the Svadhisthana chakra, located above the pubic bone, which produces the universal energy Udana, directed toward the development of higher centers. Therefore, the subconscious process in a person may also proceed through sexual energy and Udana energy. It is beneficial to cleanse the buds.
If you misuse this energy, you will encounter obstacles on this day, attempts to divert you from your path and seduce you.
Nightmares may occur if you do not strive to know yourself. This may also manifest in skin conditions: rashes, even eczema. On this day, abscesses may open.
People born on the 18th lunar day vary greatly, depending on their spiritual choice. Those who are ready to become aware of their actions and live wisely are individuals who see the world as it truly is. And since they possess a correct perception of reality, they are capable of guiding others.
If such a person gives you advice on this day, you should listen carefully. Such individuals can be healers (from the word “whole,” helping a person become whole). They possess a clear, straight mirror and are always ready to help others.
People who do not work on themselves tend toward hypocrisy.
On the day of the Monkey, they may mimic others, enjoy turning everything upside down, and possess a distorted mirror in their eye. Often, they are possessed and impose their incorrect 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.
