Saturday, October 26, 2013, 23 Poseidon, no particular dedication, Jacques De Molay and thirty odd Templars forced to confess to heresy 1306, 1st use of a “lead” pencil 1492, death of King Alfred the great 899 A.D., death of Sibyl Leek, 1982 8th night of the Waning Moon, starting Void of Course in Cancer, then entering Leo 12:12 P.M., 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 Saturn at 7:19 A.M., and last 53.4 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mercury at 6:00 P.M., lasting 65.6 minutes. Sun in Scorpio, Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Virgo, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. As it is the Last Quarter, the Moon is square the Sun, and so, those old tensions between desire and accomplishment come closer to the surface. If you made it through yesterday coming out on top, today should be just as fulfilling, with less push-back. If not, try to keep in mind that this too shall pass, and wait for the barrier to weaken before running into it head-on. Magically, a good day to clean up any messes you may have created, or to weave situations back together.
