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.
