Lunar Day 23
The twenty-third lunar day is the crocodile. A difficult day, associated in tradition with irritation and aggression.
What to do
Physical work that gives tension an outlet suits it best: cleaning, repairs, sports. Tradition advises deliberately slowing down and not getting drawn into arguments.
What to Avoid
Having it out with people, making decisions in anger and starting new things are not advised on this day. Conflicts on the twenty-third lunar day are believed to drag on longer than usual.
Work and relationships
It's better to do things that release tension: physical labor, working with your hands. Tradition advises postponing disputes with bosses and partners. In relationships, lower your tone and don't nitpick over words.
Home, shopping and haircuts
Repairs and a thorough cleaning are just right; major purchases are not. Haircuts on the twenty-third lunar day are not advised. In the garden, root crops are planted and rhizomes are divided.
