Friday, July 25, 2014, 29/30 Boedromion, dedicated to Hekate in the Athenian Calendar, in Roman rites dedicated to an obscure water deity Furrina, Constantine declared Emperor 306 AD, James IV of Scotland is crowned as James I in England, uniting the two crowns 1603, 2nd night of the Dark of the Moon, starting in Cancer, then going Void of Course from 9:53 A.M. through the rest of the day, overseen by the 13th Decan, Craumonis, ruled by the Sun, the whole of the day in the 9th Mansion of the Moon Al Tarf/ Atarf, good for baneful and destructive forms of magic. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Venus at 5:45 A.M., and last 72.8 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mars at 8:19 P.M., lasting 47.2 minutes, Sun in Leo, Mercury in Cancer, Venus in Cancer, Mars starts in Libra, then moves into Scorpio 10:25 P.M. Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. The tendency of the day is to channel our activities into considering the nuts and bolts, the minutiae. Nose to the grindstone people, and pay attention to the little things. This is provoked by the Moon being trine Saturn, in combination with is being conjunct Mercury. Expect to give and receive detailed instructions, some of which may seem odd, as the morning starts out with the Moon being square Uranus retrograde, which can lead to one’s personal obsessions coming to the fore (though not as badly as Captain Queeg’s with the Strawberries). This tendency can carry over into one’s magickal workings, making lists and evening scores, going for what you think is yours, right or wrong. You may want to back-pedal a bit on this score.
