Monday, April 14, 2014, 16 Skirophorion, no particular dedication in the Athenian calendar, in Roman rites the 3rd day of the Cerealia, dedicated to Ceres, Septimus Severus becomes Emperor 193 AD, birthday of astronomer Christian Huygens 1629 (discovered Saturn’s rings), 16th night of the Waxing Moon, in Libra, starting in the 15th Mansion (Al Ghafar/Algafra); a good day for treasure hunting and sleuthing, causing friction between people, dealing a blow, entering the 16th Mansion, Al Zubana/Azubene, good for dealing with hindrances and reversals, around 3:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 6:19 A.M., and last 66.1 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 7:33 P.M., lasting 53.9 minutes, Sun in Aries, Mercury in Aries, Venus in Pisces, Mars retrograde in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn retrograde Scorpio. Most of today’s energy will probably be spent looking for distractions, whether you wish to or not. With the Moon, Mercury and Jupiter all being square or in opposition to each other, nothing will go quite as desired; extraneous matters will intrude into one’s plans. It’s best to call out, and wander the streets. Magickally, it’s best to roll the dice and attempt to bring something beautiful out of this conflicted day.
