Thursday, June 26, 2014, 30 Metageitnion, dedicated to Hekate, Pied Piper lures away children in Hamelin 1284 AD,birthday of astonomer Charles Messier, developer of catalog of visible galactic objects (such as Nebulae, and Galaxies) 1730, death of the Emperor Julian 363 AD, of Francisco Pizzaro 1541, death of one of the developers of the hot air balloon Joseph Montgolfier 1810, 2nd night of the Dark of the Moon, starting in Gemini, going Void of Course from 7:56 A.M. to 5:05 P.M., then entering Cancer, starting in the 7th Mansion of the Moon, Al Dhira/Aldirah, good for success when contending against authority figures, good for acts promoting gain, love, comfort, then entering the 8th Mansion of the Moon, Al Nathra/Ahaathra, governing positive aspects of love and happiness, just after 5:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 5:25 A.M., and last 75.5 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 8:31 P.M., lasting 44.5 minutes, Sun in Cancer, Mercury retrograde in Gemini, Venus in Gemini, Mars in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn retrograde Scorpio. There are subtle currents running through the day, in part provoked by the Moon occulding Mercury just as it goes Void of Course this morning, thus short-circuting the effects of Mercury being retrograde. This allows for the developing of secrets, and the keeping of them. Plot away! Concentrate one’s magicks on subtle effects as well, just changing the probabilities a bit rather than attempting some dramatic change.
