Thursday, December 26, 2013, 25 Anthesterion, no particular dedication, 9th night of the Waning Moon, in Libra, 1st Spanish settlement in the New World founded by Columbus 1492, Pilgrims arrive at Plymouth 1620, George Washington defeats the Hessians at Trenton 1776, starting in the 15th Mansion (Al Ghafar/Algafra); a good day for treasure hunting and sleuthing, causing friction between people, dealing a blow, entering the 16th Mansion, Al Zubana/Azubene, good for dealing with hindrances and reversals, around 1:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of Wednesday begin with Jupiter at 7:18 A.M., and last 46.75 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 4:33 P.M., lasting 73.25 minutes. Sun in Capricorn, Mercury in Capricorn, Venus retrograde in Capricorn, Mars in Libra, Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Whatever rush you may have gotten on Christmas day continues through part of today (or possibly the whole of it), depending on how you parcel out your inner resources. Thanks to the Libra Moon being square Jupiter while Mercury is sextile Mercury, we have the chance to at least appear confident and competent. However, the tendency is also there to burn through one’s reserves of energy too quickly, crashing and burning before the day is over. Magically, a day for lending aid, burnishing one’s reputation.
