During the waning Moon in Capricorn a difficult but productive period arrives for finishing unfinished business and clearing away piles — both physical and energetic. The energies of the Moon day in Capricorn are especially favorable for putting things in order: cleaning the dirtiest and most remote corners, organizing belongings and documents, finalizing projects and doing minor repairs. On an emotional level sensitivity increases and communication may become more difficult, so it’s better to avoid sharp conversations, withdraw into silence and immerse yourself in practical work. Use this time for deep cleansing of your space and removing energetic “tails” — after such a cleanup it will be easier to move forward.

Nakshatra: Uttara Ashadha [until 10-02-2002 19:53:24]   Symbol: Elephant Tusk. One of the best nakshatras for starting almost anything. Good for laying foundations, moving into a new home, organizing life, creative, legal, and political work, business deals, contracts, and spiritual or religious rituals. Marriage and intimacy are favorable. Not good for illegal actions, finishing projects, travel, or rude behavior.

This nakshatra has a steady, stable nature. It’s best for activities meant to bring long-term results — like moving into a new home, taking vows, laying a foundation, planting seeds or trees, etc. Things started now are likely to bring good, lasting results.
