Monday, June 09, 2014, 13 Metageitnion, 12th night of the Waxing Moon, no particular dedication in the Athenian calendar, in Roman rites the principal day of the Vestalia, dedicated to Vesta, naturally, Emperor Nero commits suicide 68 AD, Book of Common Prayer adopted by the Churh of England 1549, birthday of Peter the Great 1672, death of Astrologer William Lilly 1681, starting Void of Course in Libra, then entering Scorpio 6:38 A.M., starting in the 17th Mansion of the Moon, Al Iklil/Alichil, good for positive work on plans and situations already in motion, and for establishing new, powerful connections, then moving into the 18th Mansion of the Moon, Al Kalb/Alkab, good for plots and revenge, around 11:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 5:24 A.M., and last 75.1 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 8:25 P.M., lasting 44.9 minutes, Sun in Gemini, Mercury retrograde in Gemini, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn retrograde Scorpio. So, Neptune has now gone retrograde until mid December, making us more intuitive, more capable of picking up the more subtle clues being dropped around us, which can become rather complicated today, as the Moon will be trine retrograde Mercury and Neptune today, as we will be provided with these insights but not be provided with an effective way to deal with them. This plays into the Moon’s passage into the 18th mansion tonight however, and can help to fuel some fairly dark work in one’s magicks, if you dare.
