Today is ruled by the element Water
Today shapes up to be an emotional, thought-provoking day. Your senses and feelings are heightened. It is a good day for being around trusted friends and family, rather a close circle than the big wide world.
But it is also a great time to look after yourself. Be kind to yourself, take some time out, read a good book, have a bath or go for a walk. Water Days are ideal days to ‘go within’ and meditate. Like with the oxygen mask in the plane, you need to put your ‘own mask on first’ before you can help others. This is not an act of selfishness, but vital to be a happy member of society.
If you struggle with certain issues – seek help. Once you have overcome these struggles and find yourself in a happy, balanced state, return the favor and help those who then in turn seek support. Volunteering for a local charity would be a great use of your time, but if you can’t do that, you may be able to donate. As they say – giving is even more joyous than receiving!
Water Days (as the name suggests) are ideal for watering houseplants, bringing out natural fertilizers, and starting a compost heap. They are very fertile dates for planting, especially during the Waxing Moon.
During a Waning Moon try to get a lot of the washing and deep cleaning done – especially items that you don’t clean too often, like bedspreads, rugs, curtains, and those hidden shelves.
Here is how the elements correspond to the phases of the moon:
Element Air: Waxing Moon – time to network, promote and to create projects/tasks
Element Fire: Full Moon – time to present, love and celebrate
Element Earth: Waning Moon – time to work hard and turn ideas into actions
Element Water: New Moon – evaluate your work and get in tune with your emotions and inner longings.
Life can be overwhelming. This is a gentle nudge to make sure that you are not just swamped with ‘stuff’, but also leave yourself some time, even as little as 30 minutes a day, to follow your heart and spend doing something truly meaningful that is aligned with your core values.
Once this has become a habit, these fleeting moments compound to a substantial change in outlook and quality of life. It will allow you to create a full-filled way of life brimming with happiness.

Today is ruled by the element Air
This is a creative, productive, and positive time. Good for all kinds of cultural experiences, communication, and artistic enterprises. Ideas just flow better and it makes a great day for writing, broadcasting, and blogging.
As communication is highlighted, try to reach out to people you lost touch with or patch up strained relationships (especially during the Waning Moon).
In the home, it is a great time for baking, decorating, airing, and dusting. The decoration element follows into the garden to spend some time with flowers or any flowering bushes/trees. The best time for cutting and pruning is during the Waning Moon. Whereas planting/tending to your plants is best left for the Waxing Moon. The exception is watering your plants. Air days are the least favorable for this task.

THE ELEMENT EARTH
Today is associated with stability, diligence, persistence, and working hard. The element Earth, is as its name suggests, is all about being ‘down to earth and getting the job done’. Fire Days are light, celebratory, and full of energy. Earth Days are the practical, hard-working counterparts. These are not the most glamorous days, but time for checking accomplished tasks off your to-do list. It is the ‘essential stuff’ that will make you move forward.
Apart from New Moon, Earth days are good for detox (especially Waning Moon) and helping your friends and the wider community. It is the energy of the dependable, reliable friend who helps out in a practical way.
