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: Vishakha [until 22-08-2015 18:41:14]   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: 8, Ashtami [until 2015-08-23 10:56:00]   A favorable day for starting important tasks; sports, studying arts, matters related to houses or land, learning, construction.
