The waxing Moon in Gemini is favorable for new acquaintances, business negotiations, trips and meetings (except on the 3rd and 5th lunar days) — during these lunar days it's good to establish communications, exchange ideas, and plan short journeys. Signing important contracts and agreements is not recommended because inattentiveness and forgetfulness can occur at this time. The mind is generally alert and productive, but attention tends to scatter, so it's helpful to record thoughts, set reminders, and break tasks into short stages.

Nakshatra: Rohini [until 08-05-2016 23:36:30]   Symbol: Chariot. Good for things that need stability and long-term commitment, like starting a career, signing long-term contracts, marriage, improving health, or other positive goals. Not good for quick projects or buying a car.

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.
