Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Saturn at 5:34 A.M., and last 74.5 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mercury at 8:28 P.M., lasting 45.5 minutes, Sun in Cancer, Mercury in Gemini, Venus in Gemini, Mars in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn retrograde Scorpio. This could be a somewhat exhausting Full Moon, either because of one’s own actions, or those of others. The basic tendency is towards self-indulgent behavior (what a surprise, it being summer and all), but the potential is there to over-do it. The Moon being in opposition the Sun (as it is during a Full Moon) intensifies whatever has been going on during the Lunar cycle it complete. So, if you’ve been having a good time, you’ll just want more of the same. This desire for experience is augmented by the Moon also being in opposition to Jupiter and sextile to Saturn retrograde (which can lock us into just doing more of what we’ve been doing). The reason for this direction causing friction is the level of self-indulgence engendered by the Moon starting the day being square Uranus, and later, square Mars, which can bring on a l;ack of concern about the desires of others. This focus on one’s own needs, however, allows for utilizing the magickal currents to set things out in a pattern pleasing to you.
