Tuesday, April 08, 2014, 10 Skirophorion, assasination of Emperor Caracalla 217 AD, Venus de Milo unearthed 1820, initiation of William Aynton into the Isis-Urania Temple of the Golden Dawn 1896, first chapter of the “Book of the Law” transcribed by Aleister Crowley 1904, birthday of Ponce de Leon 1460, 10th night of the Waxing Moon, starting Void of Course in Cancer, then entering Leo 5:50 A.M., starting in the 10th Mansion of the Moon, Al Jabhah/Algebhah, good for love and friendship, thwarting criminal activities and evil intentions, moving into the 11th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubrah/Azobra, which is good for reversing negative opinions and judgments, around 9:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 6:28 A.M., and last 64.9 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 7:27 P.M., lasting 55.1 minutes, Sun in Aries, Mercury in Aries, Venus in Pisces, Mars retrograde in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn retrograde Scorpio. This should prove to be a more energetic day than the last few, all things considered, and the pot should get stirred. The Sun’s move into Leo generally brings a surge of forward motion. This is aided by the Moon then being trine Mercury, so communication should be more effective (no breakthoughs, but forward movement). You might want to wear some protective gear later in the afternoon, however, as the Sun falls into opposition to retrograde Mars after 5:00 P.M., turning us all into the sharp-elbowed New Yorkers of myth, jostling for position with sharp elbows akimbo. One should be able to employ one’s magickal talents to support one’s status and position in life.
