Lunar Day 8
The eighth lunar day is the phoenix. A day of cleansing and change, one of the most significant in the cycle.
What to do
Tradition links this lunar day with fire and transformation: a sauna, sorting through your things, giving up a habit that holds you back all fit. A good time to start changing something about yourself.
What to Avoid
Starting undertakings that require stability on the eighth lunar day is not advised: the day itself is in flux. Tradition also discourages heavy food and alcohol.
Work and relationships
Suited to change: close an outdated project, restructure the way you work, drop unnecessary commitments. Long-term, stable undertakings are better postponed. In relationships, it's a good time to forgive and let go of the past.
Home, shopping and haircuts
A time to sort through your things and get rid of what you don't need, not to buy new ones. Tradition considers the eighth lunar day favorable for haircuts and a change of look; the Moon is waxing. In the garden, above-ground crops are sown.
