Monday, August 05, 2013, 29 Boedromion, dedicated to Hekate, in the Roman calender the Nones of the month, dedicated to Salus (health/the welfare of the State) 2nd night of the Dark of the Moon, starting in Cancer, then going Void of Course from 2:49 A.M. to 12:57 P.M., then entering Leo, 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 3:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 5:55 A.M., and last 71 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 8:08 P.M., lasting 49 minutes. Sun in Leo, Mercury in Cancer, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Not a day to break any new ground, much as you may like, working under the combination of the Dark of the Moon, with it being Void of Course the first part of the day, and ending with the Moon squaring Saturn 11:54 P.M. This tends to make this a day best suited to defend in place. Fortunately, the move into Leo tends to assure that one has, in fact, a good defensible position. As the Moon is conjunct Mercury most of the day, you should be able to achieve what you wish while in this position. Magically, another good day for eliminating/banishing.
