Tuesday, January 14, 2014, 14 Elaphebolion, 14th night of the Waxing Moon, inn Cancer, Massachusetts declares a day of fasting for wrongly persecuting the Salem witches 1699, birth of Mark Anthony 83 BCE, of Nostradamus 1503, death of Edmund Halley 1742, starting in the 8th Mansion of the Moon, Al Nathra/Ahaathra, governing positive aspects of love and happiness, but not advantageous in legal matters, then entering the 9th Mansion of the Moon Al Tarf/ Atarf, a time for baneful and destructive forms of magic, around 9:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 7:18 A.M., and last 47.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 4:50 P.M., lasting 72.44 minutes. Sun in Capricorn, Mercury starts in Capricorn, then moves into Aquarius 4:35 P.M., Venus retrograde in Capricorn, Mars in Libra, Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Today’s a day guaranteed to overheat your brain. While it starts off well, with the Moon being trine Neptune early in the morning, which is great for coming up with intuitive solutions and pleasant reveries, things sour ;later in the day as the Moon squares Uranus and is opposition to Pluto, which can stir up explosive reactions to slights real or imagined. Great care is needed to avoid all out cat-fights, augmented by the Moon’s move into Al Tarf. If you’re out and about, leave the weapons home. Magically, a day better suited to tearing down the dreams of others, rather than building anything positive. Patch up your defenses before you leave the house.
