Friday, December 21, 2012, 9 Anthesterion, no particular dedication, 9th night of the Waxing Moon, in Aries, the day of the Winter Solstice, commencing when the Sun moves into Capricorn at 6:12 A.M., the day starting in the 1st Mansion of the Moon, Al Sharatain/Alnath, good for creating discord, overseeing travel, engineering projects, then entering the 2nd Mansion of the Moon, Al Botein/Alboitan, good for finding treasure, capturing things, stirring up situations, and achieving things, around 3:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Venus at 7:16 A.M., and last 46.25 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mars at 4:31 P.M., lasting 73.75 minutes. Sun starts in Sagittarius, then moves into Capricorn 6:12 A.M., Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, Saturn in Scorpio. Yule is finally here, and not a moment too soon, ushered in with the Moon trine Mercury, which makes this a good day for personal interactions. With Saturn, the ruling planet of Capricorn, still being in Scorpio, this can lead to some intense get-togethers over the next few days, more a time for hookups than establishing long term relations (I see many office copiers having their glass cracked from butt scans,and the like). Magically, this is certainly a day for stirring things up!
