Moon calendar health
for February 2019

Astrology, back in the days of Hippocrates, figured out which sign of the zodiac is responsible for certain organs in our body. Focusing on the lunar calendar, you cannot perform operations: when the Moon is in Aries: on the head; in Taurus: neck, tonsils, pharynx, shoulders, vocal cords; in Gemini: bronchi, lungs, arms; in Cancer: breast, stomach, lymph nodes, liver, gall bladder; in Leo: heart, spleen; in Virgo: appendicitis, whole intestinal tract; in Libra: kidneys, groin area, lower back; in Scorpio: genitourinary system; in Sagittarius: thigh, tibia, liver, blood manipulations cannot be done; in Capricorn: all bones of the skeleton, knee joints, tendons; in Aquarius: shin and calf muscles, if possible, avoid surgery of the appendix, brain, nervous system and organs associated with the disorder blood pressure; in Pisces: ankle joints, avoid surgery lymphatic system.

As a rule, there are organs ruled by the opposite sign in relation to that which in this moment the Moon passes, become the least sensitive and therefore, procedures and operations can be performed with them. Opposite signs - for Aries it is Libra, for Taurus - Scorpio, for Gemini - Sagittarius, for Cancer - Capricorn, for Leo - Aquarius, for Virgo - Pisces. For example, the Moon in Aries - favorable time for kidney surgery, Moon in Libra - good for plastic surgery... Moon in Taurus - operations related to the genital area are shown, but it is absolutely impossible to operate on the endocrine glands. Moon in Gemini - all "bleeding" and liver operations are allowed. Moon in Cancer - it is allowed to heal and remove teeth. Operations of knee joints and tendons, etc. are shown.

Operations are best done on the waning moon. Experience shows that complications and infections are more common with a young moon, the healing process is delayed. Full moon is not excluded severe bleeding... Scarring of wounds with a young moon is more problematic, the risk of ugly scars increases. Therefore, the main rule remains: if possible, the operation should be carried out with a defective Moon.

It is advisable to avoid operations when the moon is off course. Try not to fall under the surgeon's knife on lunar and solar eclipses... Avoid unfavorable lunar days. Also, do not have surgery on your birthday, the day before and after.

In the presented calendar (the time is indicated for the city of Moscow), all these basic rules are taken into account. Often this is enough not to get into extremely unfavorable periods for operations and not to harm yourself. It is clear that it is not always possible to choose the day for the operation (there are also urgent cases), but if such an opportunity has appeared, use it.

The table below provides recommendations with an overall rating for each time slot for each day. Moreover, any event (lunar day, moon phase, position of the moon in the zodiac sign, etc.) has a good, bad or neutral assessment. If during the day one type of event (for example, today was the first lunar day and passed to the second), then this is taken into account and as a result, the overall time estimate is displayed. Events and periods of time have a status and are colored: good neutral bad
