Thursday, February 27, 2014, 28 Mounichion, no particular dedication in the Athenian calendar, in Roman rites dedicated to Mars, one of the days when an Equirria, a horse race, was held in his honor, first Mardi Gras celebration held in New Orleans 1827, anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s Cooper Union speech 1860, of the Reichstag fire 1933, end of 1st Gulf War 1991, birthday of Emperor Constantine 272 AD, 11th night of the Waning Moon, in Aquarius, starting in the 25th Mansion of the Moon, Al Alibiya/Caadulhachbia, good for hindering the activities of others, revenge, then entering the 26th Mansion Al Mukdim/Almiquedam, good for love and health, liberation, around 9:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 6:33 A.M., and last 55.8 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 5:43 P.M., lasting 64.2 minutes. Sun in Pisces, Mercury retrograde in Aquarius, Venus in Capricorn, Mars in Libra, Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Ok, back to work. The Aquarian Moon being sextile Uranus brings one’s ambitions and intuitions to the fore. There’s a fair chance of coming up with something good, but the failure/success rate is fairly high, but the effort is worth it (the Moon being square to Saturn makes this so). The Moon is also conjunct Mercury, so you should be able to get a fair hearing, or at least be noticed (this has been the least disruptive retrograde Mercury I can remember). Magically, it should be possible to engage in some creative elimination of obstacles.
