Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Saturn at 6:41 A.M., and last 54.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mercury at 5:37 P.M., lasting 65.33 minutes. Sun in Pisces, Mercury retrograde in Aquarius, Venus in Capricorn, Mars in Libra, Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. While today might find you bursting at the seams to share confidences or prospective good news, it might be best to maintain a poker face, and not share everything with everyone. The Moon being in opposition to Neptune around Noon puts one in the state of mind to dwell on one’s present circumstances, while the Sun being conjunct the retrograde Mercury (in the afternoon) encourages oversharing of secrets. If you can curb these impulses, you will maintain a better position from which to act. Magically, the day goes to those who can best maintain self-control.
