Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 5:25 A.M., and last 74.8 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 8:23 P.M., lasting 45.2 minutes, Sun in Gemini, Mercury in Gemini, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn retrograde Scorpio. A day that encourages one to be content in place, to be happy with one’s lot. On the continuum between indolence and manic activity, try to aim somewhere in the middle, it will cause you the least stress. The desire to get on with it, induced by the Moon being square the Sun, is blunted by the Moon also being in opposition to Neptune and sextile retrograde Saturn. Fortunately, the Moon also being trine Venus allows one to sit back and enjoy the view. One’s magickal work is best devoted to improving the small aids and comforts which can be extended to others.
