Moon Phase: Waxing Crescent

Characteristics: The Waxing Crescent phase begins a few days after the New Moon, when a small, curved sliver of light appears. This phase represents growth, building momentum, and the early development of what was initiated during the New Moon. The energy of this period supports taking the first concrete steps toward goals and gradually increasing activity. Physical vitality begins to rise noticeably, and a sense of forward movement emerges.

Specific effects: During the Waxing Crescent, many people experience increasing energy levels, growing motivation, and a natural orientation toward action. Mental clarity often improves, especially regarding practical next steps. The body generally responds well to gradually increased activity and new routines. This creates supportive conditions for beginning the actual work of bringing intentions into reality.

To align with Waxing Crescent energy:

  • Take initial, concrete steps toward goals set at the New Moon
  • Gather resources and information needed for your projects
  • Gradually increase physical activity as energy rises
  • Establish routines that support your intentions
  • Focus on building foundations rather than expecting immediate results
  • Connect with others who can support your endeavors
  • Maintain optimism and patience as momentum builds slowly

Moon in Sign: Gemini

Characteristics: When the Moon is in Gemini, the day fills with intellectual, communicative energy. The need for communication, information exchange, and variety of impressions increases. The emotional background becomes more mobile and changeable. This period favors intellectual activity, learning, social contacts, and solving tasks that require mental flexibility.

Specific effects: Use this period for active communication, learning, and gathering information. Travel, even short trips, will be especially successful. Multitasking and parallel execution of several tasks are effective. However, avoid a superficial approach to serious issues and scattering energy in too many directions.

Lunar Day: 2 lunar day

Characteristics: The second lunar day is associated with accumulation and absorption of energy. Processes of growth and assimilation are activated in nature and humans. This is a time when the energy base for future actions and projects is formed. The day is favorable for receiving information, learning, and nourishment—both physical and spiritual. Receptivity to all types of energies is increased.

Specific effects: Pay attention to the quality of food, information, and impressions you consume. A good day for learning, attending lectures, seminars, or workshops. It's favorable to start courses for health improvement or proper nutrition. Try to avoid negative emotions and toxic information that can become fixed at the energy level.

Day of the Week: Monday

Characteristics: Monday, ruled by the Moon, marks the beginning of the work week. The day of the Moon, the start of the work week. Negatively affects energy—often accompanied by inertia, low vitality, difficulties adapting after the weekend, and emotional instability. This transition can be challenging as we shift from weekend freedom to weekday structure.

Specific effects: Begin the day with gentle activities that gradually build momentum rather than diving into demanding tasks. Extra attention to emotional self-care can help stabilize the lunar influence. Planning the week ahead provides structure, while keeping expectations realistic supports adaptation to the work rhythm.

Each day’s calculations consider multiple factors: possible lunar eclipses, moon phase, lunar day sequence, zodiac sign, and day of the week. When planning activities, note that our lunar calendar is advisory. The final decision is yours, whether in line with or against the opinions of astrology experts.
