Daily Magical Calendar

25 August 2011, 26 Boedromion, no particular dedication, 11th night of the Waning Moon, starting in Cancer, then Void of Course from 9:04 A.M. through the end of the day, starting in the 8th Mansion of the Moon, Al Nathra/Ahaathra, governing positive aspects of love and happiness, but not advantageous in legal matters, then entering the 9th Mansion of the Moon Al Tarf/ Atarf, which makes this an appropriate day for baneful and destructive forms of magic, around 5:00 A.M.
Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 6:15 A.M., and last just over 67 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 7:41 P.M., lasting almost 52 minutes. Mercury retrograde in Virgo, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Aries, Saturn in Libra.
With both Mars and the Moon Square Saturn (and both being in Cancer) this is a fine day for beating yourself up over inability to do everything to perfection. Rather than beating yourself up, use this feeling to do the best you can, rather than feeling helpless; great strides can occur if you apply yourself. After all, Mercury goes direct tomorrow, and Jupiter being sextile to the Moon lends strength to any endeavor. Magically, it’s a day to get down and dirty, undercutting adversaries and such (if you can cope with the consequences of your actions). Not a day for the faint-hearted.
