Monday, March 03, 2014, 3 Thargelion, dedicated to Athena, first tavern in Boston opens 1634, Tsar Alexander frees the Serfs 1861, the discovery of Insulin announced 1921, death of Saladin 1191, 3rd night of the Waxing Moon, in Aries, starting in the 1st Mansion of the Moon, Al Sharatain/Alnath, which is good for dealing with complex systems, regulations, technical matters, moving into the 2nd Mansion of the Moon, Al Botein/Alboitan, good finding treasure, capturing things, to excite situations, achievement, around 11:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 6:27 A.M., and last 56.75 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 5:48 P.M., lasting 63.25 minutes. Sun in Pisces, Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Capricorn, Mars retrograde in Libra, Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, Saturn retrograde in Scorpio. This could be a great day for retailers, as the general astrological tendency is to just spend, spend spend. This loosening of the pursestrings is brought on by the action of the Moon being conjunct Uranus and square Jupiter, which usually induces a diminuation of impulse control, while the Moon being sextile Mercury later in the day allows one to come up with some fairly glib explanations for one’s behavior. The Moon moving from the 1st to the 2nd Mansion only inforces this tendency, and the better magical course today is to draw things to you.
