P.P. Globa. What the Moon Keeps Silent About
Symbolic correspondence: 25th degree Sagittarius – 6th degree Capricorn.
Action: devouring.
Names: chimera, Cerberus, crocodile, crocodile Makara.
Symbol – crocodile Makara, a bloodthirsty half-crocodile, half-fish, half-bird, half-serpent, swallowing, stretching, devouring everything; another symbol – Cerberus. Similar to this image are also Chimera and Echidna.
Mystical influence: Day of repentance, practicing all kinds of self-defense, including “mystical” ones, but only as possibilities, not through active training. Fear and anxiety should be suppressed. Laziness is prohibited; sex and love games are contraindicated, as they may lead to loss of strength.
This period is very difficult – one of the days of temptation. Associated with violence, destruction of the old, and radical reform. On this day, instincts of conquest, insatiable appetite, tendencies to delirium, fights, and adventures easily emerge in a person. The sexual energy of this day undermines health. A day of revelry for vampires and bloodsuckers.
Social influence: Strongly unfavorable, especially communication in crowds or business conversations. Bad for court proceedings, particularly if attempting to condemn an innocent person.
Domestic influence: Neutral for household matters, favorable for protective measures for the home, arranging and cleaning. Neutral for travels, unfavorable for marriage.
This day is a symbol of self-sacrifice, repentance, understanding, and forgiveness. It is dangerous to give in to anger and gluttony; one must not cut nails, undergo surgical operations, or lead a sedentary lifestyle.
A period of fasting and moderation, caution and carefulness, gaining strength and healing abilities. This is a day for protecting the home, during which one should clean and sprinkle with holy water, purify thresholds with candle flame, and fumigate rooms with mugwort and cumin.
This day is also associated with persecution, pursuit, and expulsion; one should beware of confrontation with an enraged crowd, avoid provocations and the temptation of revenge.
On the day of the crocodile, meat food is excluded from consumption; dairy food is recommended – one should drink more milk, eat cheese and other dairy products, and bake vatrushkas, preferably with nuts baked inside.
Medical influence: a difficult day, illnesses are prolonged. Immunity and resistance to diseases weaken. The sexogenic factor intensifies; all kinds of sexual problems flare up on this day. The spine should be the focus of all care: strengthening and healing procedures for the spine are advisable.
For a person born on this day, tenacity and a death grip are characteristic; any matter is brought by them to absolute completion. They move through life like a bulldozer, showing maturity and completeness in everything. If such people are oriented toward noble deeds, they become heavenly protectors and heavenly executioners, dispensers of justice.
People born on the twenty-third day often become true monks, though monasticism is not obligatory for everyone born on this day.
Influence on conception: It is difficult to understand where stinginess and selfishness turn into genius and kindness. Children with genetic mutations may be born – either mentally disabled or extraordinary personalities. Everyone will perceive this person as different from who they truly are. Yet great fame may await them.
Stones – rauh-topaz, black nephrite, crocodilite, sarder.
Meditations: fortresses, training battles.
Signatures: black nephrite. Personal talismans.
O. Zaraev. “Interpretation of Lunar Days”
A dual period, sometimes contradictory, so any agreements and obligations made during this time are tested for stability and require some reevaluation. Therefore, it is difficult to start new ventures and projects now; it is best to complete what has already been begun. In the second half of the lunar day, partnership relations may give rise to jealousy, envy, as well as problems related to unfulfilled desires or expectations.
“Days from the Moon’s Birth” by Albertus Magnus
A fortunate day for achieving honor. Illnesses are prolonged but not dangerous. Dreams are empty. Children are unattractive.
Zyrnyaeva T.M. “30 Lunar Days. Everything About Each Day. Lunar Calendar.”
Symbol – “Crocodile Makara,” a bloodthirsty half-crocodile, half-fish, half-serpent, which swallows, stretches, and devours you. Another symbol – Cerberus; similar to this image are Chimera and Echidna.
A very difficult day, a day of temptation, revelry of bloodsuckers and vampires. It is harmful to doubt the choice of your path; it is better to reflect on these matters on another day. One should convince oneself of the correctness of one’s path, practice repentance, forgiveness, and self-sacrifice.
Sexual moderation is indicated on the 23rd lunar day; this is the second day of prohibition, like the 15th, while other days have limitations but not so strict.
Dairy food is recommended, and best of all – a vatrushka with nuts.
The 23rd day is also a day for cleansing the home and bringing sacred objects into the house. It can be purified by fire, holy water, or fumigation with mugwort. It is very good to place a black stone at the threshold.
Proper use of the energy of the 23rd day reveals healing abilities in a person. On this day, cleansing, healing, and preventive procedures should be performed.
Overeating and anger are prohibited; one must not cut hair or nails, nor undergo surgical operations. Any separation of parts of our body on this day becomes food for vampires. Vampires most often attach themselves to the ankles. If your ankles become ill or you feel burning (the back of the leg belongs to Aquarius) on the outer side, then a vampire has attached itself. We can free ourselves from it by focusing and mentally tearing it off like a leech.
If on another day you feel burning or heaviness in this area, do the same, and you will immediately feel relief. Vampires and bloodsuckers usually attach themselves to the ankles or neck (on other days).
On this day, one must not lead a sedentary lifestyle; one should try to move as much as possible. All events occurring on this day should be tested for temptation, and one should not succumb to provocations that may cause negative emotions. Revenge is especially dangerous. If you take revenge on someone, it may backfire on you.
The spine is associated with the 23rd lunar day. Practices with the spine and manual therapy are recommended. It is favorable to do mutual “dry crunches” (one person sits on another’s back and bounces up and down). This way, blood in the spine is cleansed. One can also jump over another person’s bent back. The person bends over and allows load on the spine; vertebrae may even realign. This day is associated with the Muladhara chakra.
If a person misuses the day’s energy, boils may appear on the body, indicating the spot where a vampire bit. The appearance of a boil or even a small sore on such a day speaks of this.
People born on the 23rd lunar day also vary. Those who live by a high program – heavenly protectors and true monks. People who do not develop are distinguished by a very strong grip; they also possess these energies and know how to approach and seduce a person.
People born on this day must not doubt the choice of their path and should always see things through to the end.
All people on the 23rd lunar day must practice confidence and persistence, then they will not become victims of vampires.
