The waxing Moon in Gemini is favorable for new acquaintances, business negotiations, trips and meetings (except on the 3rd and 5th lunar days) — during these lunar days it's good to establish communications, exchange ideas, and plan short journeys. Signing important contracts and agreements is not recommended because inattentiveness and forgetfulness can occur at this time. The mind is generally alert and productive, but attention tends to scatter, so it's helpful to record thoughts, set reminders, and break tasks into short stages.

Nakshatra: Krittika [until 17-04-2010 16:21:53]   Symbol: Axe/razor, flame. Good for purification rituals, breaking old habits, and making quick changes. Activities involving heat or fire, caring for others, honesty, and sincerity. Cooking, shaving, sewing. You can also begin learning something new.

This nakshatra has a mixed nature. It’s best to focus on routine daily or professional tasks — the regular responsibilities you do every day. Avoid starting important new projects.

Tithi: 3, Tritiya [until 2010-04-17 15:14:00]   A favorable day for starting important tasks; marriage, first music lesson, construction.
