Lunar Day 26

The day of Ekadashi is here. It is desirable to wake up with sunrise. If this is not your first fasting experience and you feel confident, you can spend this day with no water and food or drink water in the afternoon; it is also possible to spend the entire day on water. Otherwise, choose a milder type of fasting — exclude meat, fish, eggs, legumes, coffee, tea, chocolate, alcohol, spices, tomatoes, cabbage, garlic, onions, eggplants, mushrooms, honey. You should not eat out today. Practice meditation, help those who are in need, avoid conflicts and be positive and calm. Remember that it is important to consult your doctor before fasting.

During this period people start losing their strength, so you should take care of your health and reduce the amount and intensity of exercise. The same applies to your mental health — try to stay calm and take it easy. A new day will be a lot more peaceful.

Today is quite a difficult day for business and work, so it is better to focus on simple matters. People who will be offering you something today may not be giving you all the information you need or may have bad intentions. Despite this backdrop, the day is good for creative people, judges and lawyers.

Today is a good day for rejuvenation procedures. A new haircut should be put off, though. Suitable options include having large hair coils to refresh your image.

As with the previous day, it’s best to devote time to your inner world. Spend this day alone if possible. You will be able to look at yourself as if from the outside.

If you practice fasting, then the twenty-sixth lunar day is the right time for that. It is important to exclude meat, fish, eggs, seafood and mushrooms. Those who do not fast on a regular basis should make sure their today’s menu is as simple as possible.

The twenty-sixth lunar day is great for pruning, grafting and overgrafting of bushes and trees. Combat pests and diseases. Remove leaves and haulm. General garden work. Avoided excessive watering.

Today’s lunar influence makes it a challenging day for travelers. It’s advised to reconsider even well-planned trips, as delays or difficulties may arise. It's the time when road-related events are more likely to occur, and caution is essential. Consider avoiding travel, including work-related trips, if possible. While it might feel frustrating to postpone your journey, in the long run, you’ll benefit from taking this extra time. Staying safe and grounded today will ensure that you avoid unnecessary complications.

Today is good for creative work, but don't expect a burst of inspiration. The energy may be low, but with focus and persistence, you can make progress on existing projects. Pay attention to your body and avoid overexertion. If you feel tired, take a break—pushing too hard may not lead to the best results. Avoid starting new projects or going to crowded places like grand openings or exhibitions. Focus on steady progress rather than attempts to launch something new today.

On the 26th lunar day, pay close attention to your dreams. They can reveal hidden psychological issues and offer valuable insights into your character. Dreams may highlight tendencies like self-absorption, pride, or greed. If you dream of feeling all-powerful or having an ideal life, it may be a sign to reassess your ambitions. Conversely, if you feel weak or oppressed in your dreams, it suggests a need to work on boosting your self-esteem and self-love. These dreams provide glimpses into your potential future if no changes are made.

Avoid intense training, as it may drain vitality. The 26th lunar day supports moderate activity, but conserving energy is key as the body adjusts to lunar influences. Gentle, restorative movement—such as stretching, relaxation exercises, and mindful gymnastics—helps release tension and restore balance. Massage, breathwork, and yoga are especially beneficial. Spending time outdoors in solitude enhances mental clarity and harmony. Prioritize self-care and mindful movement to align with the day’s energy.

Studying is productive today, with new information being easier to absorb. The 26th lunar day favors independent learning, so self-study will yield the best results. To stay focused, plan your study sessions in advance and stick to a structured schedule. Minimizing social interactions can help maintain concentration—distractions may feel more draining than usual. Exams are well-supported, and careful preparation can lead to strong results.

A good day for light home tasks, but avoid heavy lifting or strenuous work. Small chores like tidying up, cooking, dusting, or tending to plants will be beneficial and help structure your day. Keeping busy is preferable to full rest, but don’t push yourself beyond your limits. If fatigue sets in, pause and engage in something effortless instead. Occasional weakness may arise due to shifting energies—listen to your body and allow it to adjust instead of forcing productivity.
