Saed News: "Moon in Scorpio" refers to the time when the moon is positioned in the constellation of Scorpio. This astronomical phenomenon holds special significance in traditional and religious beliefs, particularly in Islam, and certain actions are considered inappropriate during this period.
According to Saed News' Religion and Beliefs service, among the various calendars and almanacs, some days are recognized as "Moon in Scorpio" days. According to traditional beliefs, these days are considered unlucky, and undertaking important tasks during these times is not advised. But what activities should be avoided during the "Moon in Scorpio," and what can be done to remove the bad luck of these days? Let's explore the answers to these questions.
What is "Moon in Scorpio"?
In every lunar month, the Moon orbits the Earth, and during this orbit, it passes through the constellation of Scorpio once. In some cases, the phenomenon of "Moon in Scorpio" coincides with the Moon's passage across the star of "Heart of the Scorpion," which occurs about once a year and is visible.
What Actions Should Be Done to Remove the Bad Luck?
The bad luck of these days can be alleviated by acts such as giving charity. Charity is not limited to money; any good deed, a kind gesture, or even a smile can be considered as charity. On these days, in addition to giving charity, reciting Ayat al-Kursi and reading prayers and the Quran is also recommended.
Imam Hussein (AS) said in a Hadith: "Whoever gives charity in the morning, Allah will remove the bad luck of that day from him." (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 56, p. 31)
Moon in Scorpio in the Quran
In the Quran, two verses (Surah Al-Qamar, verse 19, and Surah Fussilat, verse 16) refer to the days when punishment was sent upon the people of 'Aad. However, there are various opinions about the nature of the bad luck mentioned in these verses and narrations. Some believe that certain days are indeed unlucky, but this bad luck can be dispelled by relying on God, giving charity, and seeking intercession from God and His chosen ones.
