Wednesday, October 2, 2013, 28 Maimakterion, dedicated to Hekate, 1st night of the Dark of the Moon, first sustained nuclear reaction managed by Enrico Fermi 1942, Jerusalem falls to Saladin 1187, 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, just after midnight, Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 6:53 A.M., and last 58.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 6:37 P.M., lasting 61.33 minutes. Sun in Libra, Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Leo, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Today is a day best navigated by being serious and purposeful (but not dour), the hallmark of the day being the Moon gong sextile Saturn after 10:15 A.M. Congress could take this example and get something done (but won’t). This doesn’t preclude the rest of us from going about our business, and achieving something. Magically, this is a day for aiding oneself or others to engage in a bit of magical housecleaning, clearing hinderances.
