Wednesday, January 08, 2014, 8 Elaphebolion, dedicated to Poseidon and Asklepios, 8th night of the Waxing Moon, Vikings attack Lindisfarne 794 A.D., first telegrapgh message sent 1838, death of Galileo 1642, starting in Aries, then going Void of Course from 11:22 A.M. to 9:23 P.M., then entering Taurus, starting in the 2nd Mansion of the Moon, Al Botein/Alboitan, good for finding treasure, capturing things, exciting situations, achieving things, then entering the 3rd Mansion of the Moon, Al Thurayya/Alzoraya, good for career support, general good luck, to help or hinder judicial matters, around 1:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 7:20 A.M., and last 47 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 4:44 P.M., lasting 73 minutes. Sun in Capricorn, Mercury in Capricorn, Venus retrograde in Capricorn, Mars in Libra, Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. A day of thwarted ambition, so it’s best to just expect to be disappointed, and if the Moon’s shift into the 3rd Mansion brings any benefits or rewards, be plesantly surprised. In the course of the day, the Moon is first square Venus, and later Mercury, making for unsettling social interactions, followed by Mars squaring Jupiter, which can lead to a self-defeating state of mind. Forewarned is forearmed, however, and so, if you don’t expect much from the day, any positive notes will be a pleasure. Magically, this is a day best spent tangling other people up in their own nonsense.
