The concept of Lunar Days is one of the most ancient in astrology. Many centuries ago people started to devise descriptions for all the days in the lunar month. As a result, such descriptions existed in every major astrological tradition, but the different traditions do not always agree. We are left to choose the one which best fits our practical experience, and after a period of observation, perhaps you will get to know what works best for you.
So what are the Lunar Days? Basically, they are the periods of time between two consecutive risings of the Moon. Only the first and the last days vary from this.
The first Lunar Day starts at the moment of the New Moon and ends at Moonrise following the New Moon. It can be very short, even just a few minutes long.
The last Lunar Day ends at the next New Moon (when the next lunar month begins). This, too, can be quite short.
Since the laws of the Moon's movement are complicated, the duration of lunar months varies. Some lunar months have all 30 lunar days, others have only 29.
The time of the Moon's rising depends on the longitude and latitude of a place, so strictly speaking, it will be different for different places. That is why you are asked to select your time zone when dealing with Universal Moon Calendar.
Sit down at the table and work out what needs to be done. Draw up a plan and take the very first step forward. There will be other days for everything else.
Different traditions disagree about this day but overall, it is thought to be rather negative. It isn't advisable to undertake anything important, but if you have promised something to someone, make sure you keep your word. Medical treatment is not advisable on this day, especially if it involves surgery.
