Thursday, May 15, 2014, 17 Hekatombaion, no particular dedication in the Athenian Calendar, in Roman rites dedicated to Mercury and Jove, torture of heritics authorized by Innocent IV in the Papal Bull “Ad Exstirpanda” 1252, discovery of Cape Cod by Batholomew Gosnold 1602, 1st night of the Waning Moon, starting Void of Course in Scorpio, then entering Sagittarius 1:44 A.M., starting in the 19th Mansion, Al Shaulah/ Exaula, good for all defensive and aggressive work, then entering the 20th Mansion, Al Nalaim/Nahaym, good for compulsion, underhanded dealings, good for travel, around 9:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 5:38 A.M., and last 72.25 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 8:05 P.M., lasting 47.75 minutes, Sun in Taurus, Mercury in Gemini, Venus in Aries, Mars retrograde in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn retrograde Scorpio. An easy, measured day, bounded by the Moon being sexttile Mars while Mercury is sextile Venus. While your sang-froid may seem delusional to some, thanks to the Moon being square Neptune early in the day, this is outweighed by Mercury being sextile Uranus later in the day, which supports one’s impressions and intuitions. It is possible to make a breakthrough today. These configurations support magickal persuasiveness rather than coercion.
