Monday, March 10, 2014, 10 Thargelion, no particular dedication, end of the first Punic War with the sinking of the Carthaginian fleet 241 BCE, first meeting of John Dee and Edward Kelly 1582, death of EmperorTiberius 37 AD, of Botanist Rembert Dodoens 1585, 10th night of the Waxing Moon, in Cancer, starting in the 8th Mansion of the Moon, Al Nathra/Ahaathra, governing positive aspects of love and happiness, but not advantageous in legal matters, then entering the 9th Mansion of the Moon Al Tarf/ Atarf, a time for baneful and destructive forms of magic, around 9:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Moon at 7:16 A.M., and last 58.33 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 6:56 P.M., lasting 61.66 minutes. Sun in Pisces, Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Aquarius, Mars retrograde in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn retrograde Scorpio. This is a tricky day to navigate. While the Moon is conjunct Jupiter, which is generally propitious in most endeavors, the move into the 6th Mansion, combined with the Moon also being square Uranus and in opposition to Pluto allows for the more amoral among us to talk a good game, and lead one’s followers over the cliff, as it were. Yes, I know, hard to believe that we can be blinded by our own brilliance, but there it is. Coercive magical acts are well supported today; if not your cup of tea, work on propping up your defenses.
