During the waning Moon in Scorpio a deep rebirth begins: changes arise from within, revealing what was already seeded before. On the lunar day it’s important not to strain or force events — better to observe, analyze and gently accept what is happening. Scorpio’s energy helps to look into the shadow and release old stereotypes, complexes and prejudices; those clinging to outdated patterns will struggle. These shifts often resemble tiny sprouts — hard to notice at first, but over time they will indicate the path and guide your direction. Use the lunar day for gentle release rituals: keep a journal, meditate, practice simple farewell rituals to the past and spend more time with family — especially since separations are felt particularly painfully during this period.

Nakshatra: Swati [until 16-04-2014 20:36:36]   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.
