Our ancestors paid a lot of attention to the Moon, its influence on the terrestrial life and its cycles. One of the evidences of this that is not widely known nowadays is the fact that different astrological traditions offer more or less detailed descriptions for each day of the lunar month. We'll be referring to the synodic lunar month, as astronomers call it, or the period from one New Moon to the next New Moon.
The average length of a synodic lunar month is 29.531 calendar days, but it is not constant as the speed of the Moon changes quite significantly over time.
Lunar Days — those that are described in the astrological traditions of the World — are quite different from the familiar calendar days. The first lunar day always starts at the moment of the New Moon. Each consequent day begins at the moment of the moonrise in the given location. This means that the lunar days are location-specific. The moment of the moonrise depends on the longitude and latitude of the location and so even if two cities are located in the same time zone (say, New York and Boston), there will be a more or less substantial difference between their lunar days.
Another detail which is important to understand is that the first lunar day can be very brief. Let's imagine that moonrise happened only a few minutes after the New Moon — in this case the first lunar day will be only a few minutes long. From the moment of moonrise, the second lunar day will begin.
Most lunar months will only have 29 lunar days but some of them will have the 30th Lunar Day. It can be quite short, however. So the interpretations that will follow will contain a description for the 30th day as well.
For some lunar days, the descriptions given by different traditions are more or less similar. There are, however, lunar days, for which descriptions coming from different traditions contradict quite substantially.
I recommend you to follow the lunar days and to see for yourself which description of which tradition works for you best of all. With time, you will have your favourite lunar days and also lunar days when you will want to avoid doing anything important.
In this article I will try to give you all the information about the lunar days that was available to me. My two main sources are the book by Sergey Vronsky that was published in Moscow in 1990 and the teachings of the most popular Russian astrologer Pavel Globa. As for the Vedic interpretations, I found them on the Internet several years ago and I mention them from time to time very briefly, simply for the sake of completeness. I have only a very superficial knowledge of the basics of Vedic astrology and if you have a more complete information, please let me know — I will either make a link to it or make it available on the pages of Lunarium.
The next section will tell you a bit more about the sources of information on the lunar days.
My first and the most important source of information about the lunar days was the book written by Sergey Vronsky. It was one of the first books on astrology (if not the first) published in Russia after the beginning of Perestroyka. The title of the book, translated from Russian, was "Astrology — a Superstition or a Science?". It is basically a collection of different bits of astrological information and ideas from various authors.
One of the topics in the book is the interpretations of the lunar days. I remember that these interpretations were associated in some way with Albert the Great, or Albertus Magnus but most recently I couldn't find any details about this. As far as I remember, Vronsky's interpretations were based on those by Albert the Great.
I've translated for you all the interpretations given by Vronsky, including those that mention the characteristics of children that were born during this or that lunar day. Now that you can generate a lunar calendar for any month from the year 1900 to the year 2050, this makes sense.
Since the first version of the online lunar calendar was created for the Russian audience, the second source of information was natural and obvious — the writings of Pavel Globa. Globa is definitely the most well-known astrologer in Russia. If you stop anyone in the streets of Moscow, or some other Russian city, and ask them for a name of an astrologer they know of, I am sure almost everyone will mention Globa.
Globa's astrology school was very prominent in Russia in the 1990s. I am not sure if it is still active now but Globa isn't forgotten, that is for sure. Globa states that his astrology has its source in Avesta, the sacred book of Zoroastrianism. However, some knowledgeable Russian astrologers stated that Globa's astrology has nothing to do with Avesta.
Globa uses a large number of various planets, asteroids, fictional planets and stars in his astrology, as well as some techniques that are close to those of the European Medieval Astrology. Many interpretations by Globa speak about sins, demons, vampires and other dark things. This is perhaps the main reason why I don't like his approach — but many, many other people do like it. So I translated for you everything that I had about the lunar days, written by Globa.
My original brief interpretations of the lunar days, which you see in the Universal Lunar Calendar, when you click on a lunar day, also have the third source of information — Vedic astrology. Several years ago, when compiling the interpretations, I was able to find some information about it and I used it. Since then, however, I lost the link to that information. I also received an email from an apparently knowledgeable person who stated that some of the Vedic interpretations are not correct. As a result, I have decided not to provide any Vedic interpretations in this article — I am simply not competent in them at the moment. However, I have also decided to leave the original brief descriptions as they were written. At that time, they were approved of by the authors of a website devoted to Vedic astrology.
If with time I will acquire more knowledge about the Vedic lunar days, it will appear in this article in one or another way.
A day for making plans and 'symbolic beginnings'. Do not push forward too actively in a new direction while the Moon is still invisible in the sky. Instead, try to prioritise the activity which you know will be important for you during the coming month. 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.
One should devote the first day to everything that elevates the spirit. This is a day of happiness, it is most favourable for any new beginning.

One can confront sanctimony, vulgar materialism, robbery. One should resist the desire to credit themselves for all achievements. Meeting a person with full bags or buckets is a sign that life is going in the right direction. A thunderbolt in a dream or in reality is a warning about uncontrolled pride or vanity.
An auspicious day in all traditions. The only difference is that Veda doesn't recommend travelling, whilst Globa suggests it is positive for travel, but advises against drinking alcohol.
The day is good for any work, for planting and sowing, for communication with the people of the older generation. A child born on this day will be too spineless, infirm. From the early age his parents should pay a special attention to his proper upbringing, to the strengthening of his will. Illnesses won't be dangerous. Don't pay attention to dreams.
Symbol — a wand. The day of acquiring a hidden knowledge. Meditation, intuitive insight, healing, prayers, verbal magic. One can travel, explore the world. It is better not to look into mirrors. One should not consume alcohol, or fall into illusions.
A happy day. Good for beginning an important pursuit, for getting to know influential people, and for meeting friends. It favours holidays, amusements and pleasures, and it improves health.
This day is successful for beginning new important activities, for various businesses and undertakings. A child born on this day will be very lazy but will have everything he needs provided for him for the whole life. Illnesses will prove to be not dangerous. Dreams should not be taken seriously.
Symbol — the lotus. A beneficial day. Comprehension of higher truths, acquiring the spiritual consciousness, the alchemy of the soul. One can work with the astral body, with clairvoyance, chakras, dreams, gaining through this the knowledge of one's previous incarnations. One should be in an elevated mood, should control one's emotions, peer into oneself. One can be busy with the "earthy" matters — buying a house, making a repair, planting useful plants. One should not cut trees, cut and present flowers.
All traditions agree that this is an inauspicious day, Travel is not recommended, nor should you start anything with the aim of receiving [gain or material benefits]. Do only those things which are absolutely necessary at the moment, and get rid of anything useless.
This day is substantially unhappy for everything. One should not start or undertake anything as everything will go awry. A child born on this day will not live long without someone's help. Dreams are quite truthful.
Symbol — the octopus. A dangerous satanic day. Bacchanalia of devils, astral mist, illusions, deception. Required are responsibility, opposition to satanism, fasting, penance, healing. One should only do the most necessary routine things, cut false connections, discard negative thoughts, cleanse the body, burn candles, smoke the rooms with Labrador tea. Avoid turbid water and darkness. Food must be mostly baked like pies or pancakes. Bathing or cold bath for feet are good before sleep. Cries, sound of trumpet, continuous musical sounds are a warning about the wrong way.
An exceptionally auspicious day, which, unfortunately, does not happen every lunar month. It favours all beginnings, and helps the sick to recuperate and improve. It also favours a successful, smooth ending to all matters which have reached their final stage. It is important to be generous, and to recognise and reward everyone's contribution.
The day is very good and successful for starting new important activities, for new undertakings. A child born then can have limited mental abilities on one or another reason. The one who will fall ill can only be saved by an immediate help from the outside, from someone else. Dreams promise a lot of joy and should be fulfilled.
Symbol — the golden swan. The day of love, forgiveness, penance, rejection of everything unneeded, accepting a spiritual initiation and transition onto the next cycle of development. One should analyze one's path and try to wipe out all sins. It is good to complete activities, to return debts, to give joy to other people. One can work with stones, clean the house, in particular by bringing in talismans, like horseshoe. Food should not be rough. This is the day of sacrifice and summarizing the past month. A barking dog is a warning about a mistake done in the past month.
