Wednesday, January 22, 2014, 22 Elaphebolion, no particular dedication, Turks conquer Cairo 1517, Egyptian Obelisk “Cleopatra’s Needle” erected in Central Park 1881, birthday of Ivan the Great 1440, 7th night of the Waning Moon, in Libra, going Void of Course from 10:50 P.M. through the end of the day, 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 7:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 7:14 A.M., and last 48.8 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 5:00 P.M., lasting 71.2 minutes. Sun in Aquarius, Mercury in Aquarius, Venus retrograde in Capricorn, Mars in Libra, Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. A little more care and a little less tunnel vision will carry one far today. The tunnel vision is due to the Moon being square Jupiter and Venus the first part of the day, which makes it difficult to see (or care much) about whose hands you step on while climbing the ladder of success. Ambition is torbocharged later in the day, with the Moon then being trine Mercury, then conjunct Mars. Try to keep in mind that one’s triumphs can be achieved without denigrating those of others. Also while what you might be doing may be unique to you, it is not unique in the history of the world (discounting coming up with a sucessful mode of time travel). Magically, this is a day best suited to attracting honor, adding glamor.
