Monday, February 25, 2013, 16 Mounichion, dedicated to Hekate and Artemis, night of the Full Moon, the Moon being Void of Course in Leo, then entering Virgo 1:52 A.M., starting in the 12th Mansion of the Moon, Al Sarfah/Acarfal, good for friendship and charitable acts, around 7:00 A.M., finally entering the 13th Mansion of the Moon, Al Awwa/Alahue, good for aid, comfort, assistance, around 11 :00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 6:36 A.M., and last 55.4 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 5:41 P.M., lasting 64.6 minutes. Sun in Pisces, Mercury retrograde in Pisces, Venus starts in Aquarius, then enters Pisces 9:03 P.M., Mars in Pisces, Jupiter in Gemini, Saturn retrograde in Scorpio. It’s best to attempt to strike a balance between an excess of self-control, and abandoning all pretence of the same. The manic/depressive quality that can descend on one during a full Moon is intensified by Venus joining Mars and Mercury in Pisces, all being under the sway of our retrograde Saturn. Best to avoid too much self-reflection, while having a care not to be too effusive about one’s impressions or desires. Magically, if you can be clear and honest about your motives, it is a good day to influence others.
