Tuesday, April 29, 2014, 1 Hekatombaion, start of the year in the Athenian Calender, dedicated to one’s personal Deities, in Roman rites the 3rd day of the Floralia, dedicated to Flora, Joan d’Arc arrives at the Seige of Orleans 1429, Great Britian formed by the Union of England and Scotland 1701, traditional birthdate for Taliesin 534 AD, of Ed Fitch 1937, New Moon in Taurus, starting in the 4th Mansion of the Moon, Al Deberan/ Aldeberan, good for playing the margins, shaking things up, then moving into the 5th Mansion of the Moon Al Haq’a/Almices, good for healing, building, children, the return of lost things, around Midnight. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 5:57 A.M., and last 69.33 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 7:49 P.M., lasting 50.66 minutes, Sun in Taurus, Mercury in Taurus, Venus in Pisces, Mars retrograde in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn retrograde Scorpio. As a start of a lunar cycle, this should be a fairly good day to move forward from the sure footing that ought to have appeared before you yesterday. As the Moon is not only conjunct the Sun but Mercury as well, communication with the wider world should be uncluttered and easy. Add to this the Moon also being sextile Jupiter, and you ought to be able to make strides in promoting yourself, or changing jobs. As the Moon is also in opposition to a retrograde Saturn, these sucesses will come more easily if you stick to what you already due well, rather than attempting to branch out into new directions. Yous should be able to nurture most any positive magickal workings day (fanning the embers as it were).
