Thursday, July 03, 2014, 7 Boedromion, dedicated to Apollo Boedromos (the Rescuer), battle of Gettysburg 1863, birthday of Franz Kafka 1883, death of Maria de’ Medici 1642, of Jean-Jacques Rousseau 1778, 7th night of the Waxing Moon, in Virgo, starting in the 13th Mansion of the Moon, Al Awwa/Alahue, good for aid, comfort, assistance, 14th Mansion, Al Simak/ Azimech, good for promoting love, health; bad for land travel, good for other modes, around 3:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 5:28 A.M., and last 75.25 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 8:31 P.M., lasting 44.75 minutes, Sun in Cancer, Mercury in Gemini, Venus in Gemini, Mars in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn retrograde Scorpio. Navel gazing abounds today, as the dominant force today is the Virgo Moon being trine Saturn retrograde (yes, it’s still retrograde until the 20th). Its rather like the premise behind “Groundhog Day”, and we we all will be sifting through the materials here in the closed loop, trying out new combinations, siftiong and sorting. Magickally, lending what aid one can to others is the ticket; this has been a fairly gentle Vigo Moon, for a change.
