Thursday, February 06, 2014, 7 Mounichion, dedicated to Apollo, James II becomes King 1685, France becomes the first country to recognize the independence of the United States 1778, first day of sale of “Monopoly” 1935, birthday of Christopher Marlowe 1564, of Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Barvarian Illuminati 1748, death of Venetian printer Aldus Manutius 1515, 7th night of the Waxing Moon, starting in Taurus, going Void of Course 11:49 P.M., starting in the 4th Mansion of the Moon, Al Deberan/ Aldeberan, good for playing the margins, shaking things up, then moving into the 5th Mansion of the Moon Al Haq’a/Almices, good for healing, building, children, the return of lost things, around 9:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 7:00 A.M., and last 51.58 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 5:19 P.M., lasting 68.42 minutes. Sun in Aquarius, Mercury in Pisces, goes retrograde 4:43 P.M., Venus in Capricorn, Mars in Libra, Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Well, the first part of the day chugs along just fine, with the Moon sextile Jupiter and trine Venus. The first part of the day should be a pleasure. Around 2:30 P.M., the Sun squares the Moon, which can lead to some anxiety about the course of events, but who doesn’t have anxiety? Then mercury goes retrograde (through the end of the month), so we may just as well get used to those disruptions. Late in the evening, the Moon is in opposition to Saturn, so it’s better to just go to sleep, and prepare for the next snowstorm. You should be too tired from trying to get your affairs tidied up the first part of the day to strive to do much more anyway. Magically, I would suggest doing any of your acquisition and attraction work early in the day, realizing that it’s going to be impeded by Mercury and Saturn later, and results will be slower in coming.
