26th Lunar Day
P.P. Globa. “What the Moon Hides”
Symbolic correspondence: 1st–12th degree of Aquarius.
Action: chatter.
Names: swamp, frog.
Symbol — frog, swamp. Like the serpent, the frog embodies wisdom, yet wisdom that brings no benefit to man, for it is lured by the false temptation of one’s own achievements. This is one of the most critical, dangerous days (though not satanic), when people argue, fuss pointlessly, and expend much energy on idle talk. On this day a person may overdraw their energy and strength. Hence, all sacred texts warn against wasting energy. It is better on the 26th day to refrain from active pursuits, rest, or act wisely and sparingly in matters involving energy expenditure. This is a day of temperance and fasting, though temperance is less obligatory than fasting. One should strive for knowledge of life, the worst in people, for a sober assessment of reality, and the shedding of all “masks.” Otherwise, we will be persecuted, mocked, with sanctimoniousness and crude materialism exposed.
Social influence: unfavorable for any communication, favorable for lawyers.
Mystical influence: effective for working on texts and books. It is better to avoid overexertion or working with unverified material. Pride often follows sorrow. One can work on these traits. Energy is easily squandered, so all work must be done cautiously.
On the 26th lunar day, there is a high likelihood of theft. If, when leaving home, you meet a person with full bags or buckets, you may consider yourself on the right path; if you see lightning in a dream or waking life, it is a warning that pride and vanity remain unchecked.
People born on this day are destined to remain silent all their lives, to make vows, promises, and fulfill them, to embrace any austerity. A difficult life, marked by pride.
Influence on conception: A child born on this day will be wealthy. They are destined for fame, great achievements, and honors. Yet dangerous self-love lurks, for everything must be paid for.
Stones — auripigment, yellow jade, jadeite, chrysoprase.
Meditation: lightning, silence.
Signatures: jadeite, chrysoprase.
O. Zaraev. “Interpretation of Lunar Days”
Last sextile. A favorable period allowing one to expand opportunities and prospects. Mediation by friends, relatives, and their advice can be highly effective. Creative proposals and new solutions to old problems can bring support from superiors and material success. Relations with partners reach a new level. Vital potential, sociability, charm, and a sense of humor increase.
“Days from the Birth of the Moon” by Albert the Great
An unlucky day. Illnesses are dangerous. Nothing should be begun, and for those already ill, danger lurks. Dreams come true. Children are fortunate.
T.M. Zyurnyaeva. “30 Lunar Days. Everything About Each Day. Lunar Calendar.”
Has the names “Frog” and “Swamp.” On this day, the process of temptation by one’s own achievements continues. A very dangerous day for us. One must be extremely attentive in contacts and communicate only out of genuine sympathy. On this day, energy is usually lost in conversation, so excessive talking is not recommended.
On the 26th lunar day, temperance, fasting, and rest are advised. Do not have teeth extracted. Starting any endeavor on this day is futile; everything will bog down like in a swamp. Beneficial are baths, massage. Through sweat, deep cleansing occurs. Try to avoid smoke, which can distort self-perception; illusions also hinder a correct self-assessment.
The 26th lunar day is dangerous for thefts, including not only physical but also the “theft” of thoughts and emotions. Therefore, do not rush about, display vanity, or pride.
On the 26th lunar day, avoid eating round vegetables (cabbage, turnips, etc.). The best foods are potatoes, fish, and herbs.
On the 26th lunar day, we have access to a Teacher; therefore, one must be selective in contacts. This is the person who will say what is needed at the right moment.
On the 26th lunar day, pay attention to those who praise you or force you to deceive. It is better to accept criticism from someone who tells you that you are wrong.
It is very auspicious to see a person with full buckets or bags, especially when leaving home for the first time. There are special practices for leaving the house. While inside the house, you are under protection; when stepping outside, consciously close the door behind you. As you cross the threshold, mentally acknowledge that you have protection in the other world. Reciting protective words as you cross the threshold is beneficial. The threshold is a place of purification; if worked with properly, it will not let enemies pass.
Yet we often leave the house casually. Always look in the mirror and take your double with you. If you return, look in the mirror again. You can also glance at your nails. Fingers and nails are outlets of energy channels. If you join all four fingers, press your thumb against them, look at both hands, and say, “Bare nails, bare the eyes of evil people,” this will protect you from the evil eye for the entire day; then spit three times over your left shoulder. This can be repeated three times. On the left side dwells the demon, on the right — the guardian angel. Whenever you hear something negative, do not take it upon yourself; many people wish to jinx you. It is better to say, “Chur me.”
The 26th day is associated with the Kundalini chakra. Incorrect self-assessment can be observed in how people treat us on this day. If a person is overly tempted by praise, they will be mocked over trifles and in the grand scheme of things.
A very good practice: do not identify with anything, accept everything, and perceive it as passing, especially if the 26th lunar day falls on a Monday. Imagine yourself as a stone on the road, around which events unfold. This is a Monday practice, highly beneficial on the 26th lunar day. Do not identify with anything; perceive what happens as if on a stage.
People born on the 26th lunar day live very difficult, hard lives, as they are constantly engaged in an inner process of self-assessment. They are better off remaining silent, for conversations drain their energy. Such people usually sense this intuitively and stay quiet. One way for those born on the 26th lunar day to elevate their spiritual level is by fulfilling their promises. This helps channel the energy they possess. It is difficult but necessary. In general, people born in the fourth lunar phase have vast experience; they have been tempted many times and thus understand how to live correctly.
