Wednesday, November 27, 2013, 25 Gamelion, no particular dedication, death of the poet Horace 8 A.D., death of Clovis 511 A.D., 10th night of the Waning Moon, starting in Virgo, then going Void of Course 6:44 A.M. to 4:59 A.M., then entering Libra, starting in the 14th Mansion (Al Simak); Good for promoting love, health. Bad for land travel, good for other modes, then passing into the 15th Mansion (Al Ghafar/Algafra); a good time for treasure hunting and sleuthing, causing friction between people, dealing a blow, around 7:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 6:56 A.M., and last 47.8 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 4:30 P.M., lasting 72.2 minutes. Sun in Sagittarius, Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Capricorn, Mars in Virgo, Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Today starts with a burst of energy, thanks to the Moon being conjunct Mars in the morning. This might tend towards the full speed ahead, damm the torpedos (or the opinions of others). Mercury being sextile to Venus in the evening ought to allow us to smoothe over the feathers which we might have ruffled during the day, or to put others in their place. Magically it’s a day that encourages one to lay traps and engage in intrigues.
