The waxing Moon in Scorpio is an important Moon day that strongly affects relationships. Partners need support and reassurance that they are on the right path: everything positive you invest during this period will pay dividends later and can help correct past mistakes. People become more receptive and open, making it easier to build trust and resolve conflicts now. Intuition heightens, so emotions need to be sincere and transparent. This is an ideal time for Tantra yoga and deep emotional practices, but the period remains volatile — lying or manipulating is unacceptable, and any insincerity will be amplified.

Nakshatra: Swati [until 17-07-2013 17:55:18]   Symbol: Coral, Sprout. Good for business, finances, public work, and diplomacy — anything requiring a calm and flexible approach. Not good for harsh or aggressive actions.

This nakshatra has a mobile (active) nature. Best for temporary activities that don’t need long-term results — like traveling, meetings, starting studies, starting medical treatment or fasting, repairs, gardening, or buying a car, or changing jobs. Avoid starting projects that require long-term stability.

Tithi: 9, Navami [until 2013-07-17 16:19:00]   An unfavorable day for important tasks; arguments, competition, physical exercise (workouts), working with tools, taking risks.
