The waning Moon in Pisces favors finishing small tasks and thoughtfully setting priorities on the lunar day. Act calmly and with reason — sharp emotions, emotional overflow or hasty choices can produce the opposite effect. This period gently nudges the subconscious toward change: a clarity arises about what has served its time and no longer contributes to growth. It’s an excellent time for water practices and cleansing rituals — washing, contrast showers, or meditation by water can help gently release unnecessary desires. Walks and contemplation of clean bodies of water, breathing exercises, and keeping a journal to clarify intentions are recommended. Be mindful of information sources, drinks and online content — excessive stimulation can disturb your inner balance.

Nakshatra: Uttara Bhadrapada [until 24-08-2013 05:02:51]   Symbol: Twins. Good for peaceful, quiet activities, meditation, developing intuition, teamwork, intimacy, starting artistic projects, and healing. Not good for legal cases or activities requiring fast reaction.

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.

Tithi: 18, Tritiya [until 2013-08-23 22:07:00]   A favorable day to start important tasks; marriage, the first music lesson, construction.
