* Traditions disagree on this rule — it counts at half weight.

Sunday 9 August — Very favorable (80/100).
When should you do laundry according to the lunar calendar?
According to Paungger/Poppe, laundry gets most thoroughly clean during a waning moon — dirt is said to release from the fibres more easily then.
Do water-sign days help with laundry?
The traditions disagree: parts of folk tradition consider days with the moon in Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces especially good washing days, while other accounts contradict this. According to Paungger/Poppe, the waning moon matters more.
