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Scorpio’s energy helps to look into the shadow and release old stereotypes, complexes and prejudices; those clinging to outdated patterns will struggle.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: Vishakha [until 09-02-1999 06:56:31]   Symbol: Arch, Potter’s Wheel. Good for strong, decisive action and activities requiring focus, goal-setting, or leadership. Also good for ceremonies and celebrations. Not good for travel or anything requiring tact and diplomacy.

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: 23, Ashtami [until 1999-02-09 04:12:00]   A favorable day to begin important tasks; sports, studying the arts, matters related to houses or land, learning, construction.
