Tuesday, October 08, 2013, 5 Poseidon, no particular dedication in the Athenian calendar, 5th night of the Waxing Moon, starting in Scorpio, then going Void of Course from 12:54 A.M. to 8:21 A.M., then entering Sagittarius, starting in the 19th Mansion, Al Shaulah/ Exaula, good for all defensive and aggressive work, then entering the 20th Mansion, Al Nalaim/ Nahaym, good for compulsion, underhanded dealings, good for travel, around 5:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 6:59 A.M., and last 57.33 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 6:27 P.M., lasting 62.66 minutes. Sun in Libra, Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Leo, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. This should prove to be another fairly productive day, though not as dynamic as the previous two, as it comes with a small raise in anxiety levels. While the Moon is square Mars (Ruler of the Day), which can bring unease, this is outweighed by the Moon being conjunct Venus, newly ensconced in Sagittarius. The Ruler of the Evening, Saturn, is also conjunct the Moon. Taken together, exhibiting a certain seriousness of purpose and some empathy (real or feigned) should get us all through today sanely. Magically, a day to get ahead by providing distractions and illusions to one’s competitors.
