Wednesday, July 31, 2013, 24 Boedromion, no particular dedication, 9th night of the Waning Moon, starting Void of Course in Taurus, then entering Gemini 11:42 A.M., starting in the 5th Mansion of the Moon Al Haq’a/Almices, good for healing, building, children, the return of lost things, then entering the 6th Mansion of the Moon, Al Han’ah/Athaya, a day for stirring things up, promoting cruel and destructive acts, agricultural disasters, around 5:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 5:51 A.M., and last 71.8 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 8:13 P.M., lasting 48.2 minutes. Sun in Leo, Mercury in Cancer, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Most of the Day continues along as did yesterday. As we approach 5:00 P.M., the sediments of unfulfilled desires and thwarted ambitions begin to be stirred up by the Moon’s entrance into the 6th Mansion. This unease is augmented later in the evening, when the Moon squares our retrograde Neptune, and Mars squares Uranus. This can be a good opportunity, if you have the time, to sit down and really deal with the current course of your life, and sorting out what you wish to continue with, and what you wish to eliminate from your life. Drunk dialing beak-ups are possible. While you may feel an overwhelming desire to have a “frank” conversation, don’t proceed unless you’re comfortable with whatever the results might be. Magically, a day to clear away the underbrush, dislodge others from their comfort zone, to go on the offensive.

Saturday, July 27, 2013, 20 Boedromion, dedicated to Demeter and Persephone, the first night of the Mysteries at Eleusis, 5th night of the Waning Moon, in Aries, going Void of Course 10:19 P.M., starting in the 1st Mansion of the Moon, Al Sharatain/Alnath, which is good for dealing with complex systems, regulations, technical matters, moving into the 2nd Mansion of the Moon, Al Botein/Alboitan, good finding treasure, capturing things, to excite situations, achievement, around 3:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Saturn at 5:47 A.M., and last 72.5 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mercury at 8:17 P.M., lasting 47.5 minutes. Sun in Leo, Mercury in Cancer, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Today is a day where the pervasive feeling might be that no matter what you do, your efforts are not suffciently recognized. While you are go, go, go, thanks to the Sun being trine the Moon, it also being square Saturn leads to this feeling, aided by the Moon being square Mercury, Jupiter, and Mars. My adice would be that, most of this being in your head, try to sit back and just let it (apparently) happen, and stay out of the spotlight. Let others strive for dubious glory, allowing you to be the one who appears in control and self-composed. Magically, a day for stirring things up, working behind the scene.

Friday, July 26, 2013, 19 Boedromion, dedicated to Demeter and Persephone, the procession of Initiates from Athens to Eleusis begins, 4th night of the Waning Moon, starting Void of Course in Pisces, then entering Aries 5:29 P.M., starting in the 28th Mansion of the Moon Al Risha Batn/Arrexhe, good for increase, travel, love, bad for cherished things, then entering the 1st Mansion, Al Sharatain/Alnath, which is good for dealing with complex systems, regulations, technical matters, around 5:30 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 5:46 A.M., and last 72.6 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 8:18 P.M., lasting 47.6 minutes. Sun in Leo, Mercury in Cancer, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. A good day to keep things grounded in the here and now. You may well find yourself confronted with the “how do you feel” conversation, due to Venus being sextile Saturn. On the bright side, you may be able to keep such a conversation to specifics, which will lead to a positive outcome. Magically, a day to reorder/influence the priorities of others to better suit you.

Thursday, July 25, 2013, 18 Boedromion, no particular dedication in the greek calender, in the Latin calender the Furinalia, dedicated to the Goddess Furrina, a deity concerned with the water supply, 3rd night of the Waning Moon, in Pisces, gooing Voidf of Course 2:43 P.M. through the rest of the day, starting in the 27th Mansion of the Moon Al Mu’hir/Algorf, good for material gain, health, overcoming enemies, and aid to the desperate, then entering the 28th Mansion of the Moon Al Risha Batn/Arrexhe, good for increase, travel, love, bad for cherished things, around 9:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 5:45 A.M., and last 72.8 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 8:19 P.M., lasting 47.2 minutes. Sun in Leo, Mercury in Cancer, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. All systems go today, things can get done, and we all wish tio do them. Jupiter Mars and Mercury are all trine the Moon today, which should energize all, open closed doors, and generally make for a smooth pasage towards whatever accomplishments you are engaged in. Magically, a day to burnish one’s reputation.

Thursday, July 24, 2013, 17 Boedromion, no particular dedication, 2nd night of the Waning Moon, in Pisces, starting in the 25th Mansion of the Moon, Al Alibiya/Caadulhachbia, good for hindering the activities of others, revenge, then entering the 26th Mansion Al Mukdim/ Almiquedam, good for love and health, liberation, around 7:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 5:44 A.M., and last 73 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 8:20 P.M., lasting 47 minutes. Sun in Leo, Mercury in Cancer, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Remain cautious in all your words and actions. Big things are in the works, but can be derailed by tipping your hand or revealing what you know to too many people. You never know who might overhear. Magically, a day for working for oneself on protections, burnishing one’s image.

Monday, July 15, 2013, 8 Boedromion, dedicated to Poseidon, 8th night of the Waxing Moon, in Libra, going Void of Course 11:18 P.M., starting in the 15th Mansion of the Moon Al Ghafar/Algafra, good for uncovering/getting to the bottom of things, then entering the 16th Mansion, Al Zubana/Azubene, good for dealing with hindrances and reversals, around 1:00 A.M. 15th Mansion of the Moon Al Ghafar/Algafra, good for uncovering/getting to the bottom of things, then entering the 16th Mansion, Al Zubana/Azubene, good for dealing with hindrances and reversals, around 1:00 A.M.

Sun in Cancer, Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Venus in Leo, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Certainly, most relationships are generally a work in progress. Today is one of those days where a dialogue is possible, but nothing will be settled.Uranus in opposition to the Moon stirs up some of those hypothetical starter questions which have no safe answer (gentlemen, you know particularly what sort of questions I’m talking about). While Venus is well aspected today, the Moon being Square a retrograde Mercury makes any meaningful advance impossible. As usual in the 1st quarter, there is a stalemate between the forces of desire and action. Just do the best you can, without getting too worked up. Magically, a day for mending fences, creating linkages.

Sunday, July 14, 2013, 7 Boedromion, dedicated to Apollo the Rescuer, 7th night of the Waxing Moon, starting Void of Course in Virgo, then entering Libra 3 :41 A.M., starting in the 14th Mansion, Al Simak/Azimech; good for promoting love, health; bad for land travel, good for other modes, then entering the 15th Mansion of the Moon Al Ghafar/Algafra, good for uncovering/getting to the bottom of things, around 5:00 A.M.

Sun in Cancer, Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Venus in Leo, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. A day for excessive behavior and acting out, swinging from manic to excessive, in both one’s interior as well as exterior life. This behavior, stimulated by the Moon being square Mars, Jupiter and Pluto, could be even more excessive, except for the tempering effects of this Libra Moon. Magically, a day for achieving effects all out of proportion to the effort put in. Have a care to use the lightest of touches.

Friday, July 12, 2013, 5 Boedromion, the day the Athenians honored their war dead, 5th night of the Waxing Moon, in Virgo, starting in the 12th Mansion of the Moon, Al Sarfah/Acarfal, good for friendship and charitable acts, then entering the 13th Mansion of the Moon, Al Awwa/Alahue, good for aid, comfort, assistance, around 1:00 A.M.

Sun in Cancer, Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Venus in Leo, Mars in Gemini, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Finally, a good day to get things done, with the Virgo Moon sextile both Saturn and Jupiter, particularly when dealing with one’s business or trade. Try not to get too far ahead of the curve however, as the Moon being in opposition to a retrograde Neptune, and Mercury itself being retrograde can allow one to show (or appear to show) a certain selfishness. Magically, a day for most any positive work, especially for others.

Thursday, July 11th, 2013, 4 Boedromion, dedicated to Hermes, Aphrodite, Eros 4th night of the Waxing Moon, starting in Leo, then going Void of Course from 3:54 P.M. to 6:11 P.M., then entering Leo, starting in the 11th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubrah/Azobra, which is good for reversing negative opinions and judgments, then entering the 12th Mansion of the Moon, Al Sarfah/Acarfal, good for friendship and charitable acts, around 9:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 5:34 A.M., and last 74.5 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 8:28 P.M., lasting 45.5 minutes. Sun in Cancer, Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Venus in Leo, Mars in Gemini, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Today has a lead up to much hustle and bustle, energized by Mars going sextile the Moon mid-afternoon. Whether it amounts to much of anything is hard to gauge, what with Mercury being retrograde in Cancer. Most of this energy may be directed to repeating oneself, or dealing, once again, with things you believed to be settled. Magically, a day for strengthing connections.

Wednesday, July 10, 2013, 3 Boedromion, dedicated to Athena, 3rd night of the Waxing Moon, in Leo, in the 11th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubrah/Azobra, which is good for reversing negative opinions and judgments, the whole of the day.

Sun in Cancer, Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Venus in Leo, Mars in Gemini, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. A good day for reputation repair, and forging new alliances, under the assistance of the Moon being conjunct Venus in the early afternoon. Natural affinites will express themselves, so go with the flow, rather than attempting to sweet-talk yourself into a situation or social gathering. Magically, a day for bringing equilibriumpeace and calm.

Tuesday, July 09, 2013, 2 Boedromion, dedicated to the Agathos Daimon, 2nd night of the Waxing Moon, starting Void of Course in Cancer, then entering Leo 6:46 A.M., starting in the 10th Mansion of the Moon, Al Jabhah/Algebhah good for love and friendship, thwarting criminal activities and evil intentions, then entering the 11th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubrah/Azobra, which is good for reversing negative opinions and judgments, around 11:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 5:32 A.M., and last 74.75 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 8:29 P.M., lasting 45.25 minutes. Sun in Cancer, Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Venus in Leo, Mars in Gemini, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Another day of chomping at the bit ; it seems so unfair, having Saturn go direct, just to be square the Moon today. Expect one’s minor past defeats to preoccupy one’s mind, to no good purpose. These self-doubts are magnified by the Sun being conjunct a retrograde Mercury. How nice for us to each carry our own internal gadflies ; try to ignore them, find a distraction, as their voices will diminish with time, and they won’t tell you anything useful. The magical currents are unstable today, most work will fall short due to self doubts ; stick to the small stuff.

1 Boedromion

Monday, July 08, 2013, 1 Boedromion, dedicated to one’s personal deities, New Moon in Cancer, going Void of Course 7:44 A.M. through the rest of the day, starting in the 9th Mansion of the Moon Al Tarf/ Atarf, good for baneful and destructive forms of magic, then entering the 10th Mansion of the Moon, Al Jabhah/Algebhah good for love and friendship, thwarting criminal activities and evil intentions, around 9:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 5:32 A.M., and last 74.75 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 8:29 P.M., lasting 45.25 minutes. Sun in Cancer, Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Venus starts in Leo, Mars in Gemini, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn retrograde in Scorpio, goes direct 1:12 A.M. On the bright side, it’s a New Moon, and Saturn is no longer retrograde, so we will soon have some impediments fall away. While the Moon is conjunct the Sun, it also occludes Mercury just as it goes Void of Course, which makes this a fairly feeble New Moon. All this adds up to providing us with the opportunity to build castles in the air, or to contend with paper tigers, rather than accomplishing anything. It is, however, a good day to run scenarios without implementing them, a practice run as it were. Magically, a day for wrapping things up, breaking things off.

Sun in Cancer, Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Venus starts in Leo, Mars in Gemini, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn retrograde in Scorpio.

Saturn and Neptune are trine the Moon, and Saturn is preparing to go direct tomorrow. As for Uranus and Pluto, the first is square the Moon, and the second in Opposition. All of this serves to stir up anxieties ; while the day may seem outwardly calm, on the inside we are preoccupied. Magically, a day for bending the will of others, scrambling for a more advantageous position.

Expect the usual communications breakdown, whether it involves the house phone, negotiations, or face to face speech, with the day’s ruling planet, Mercury, being retrograde and sextile to the Moon. Friendships can be frayed by misunderstandings, but more likely you will merely be confounded by what is being said.. Magically, a day for bringing things to light, uncovering secrets.
