Saturday, May 31, 2014, 4 Metageitnion, Ramses II becomes Pharaoh 1279 BCE, dedicated to Hermes, Aphrodite, Eros, 4th 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 Saturn at 5:27 A.M., and last 74.33 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mercury at 8:19 P.M., lasting 45.66 minutes, Sun in Gemini, Mercury in Gemini, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn retrograde Scorpio. It’s easier to see the limits bounding one’s circumstances today than to see the possible solutions. While it can be quite lovely here, it still seems to be some form of confinment. The major contributors to this sense of being hemmed in are provided by the Moon being square Mars and Uranus while trine retrograde Saturn, while one’s aspirations to move beyond these limits are fueled by the Sun being trine Neptune and Mars. Not the best day for one’s magickal endeavors, as today’s influences, combinded with the Moon’s passage into the 9th Mansion, can lead one down some fairly dark paths.
