Thursday, July 10, 2014, 14 Boedromion, no particular dedication in the Athenian Calendar, in Roman rites dedicated to Apollo, 5th day of Games in his honor, founding of Dublin 988 AD, Telstar launched (1st geosynchronous communications satellite, & only one with its own song) 1962, birthday of John Calvin 1509, death of Emperor Hadrian 138 AD, of El Cid 1099, 14th night of the Waxing Moon, starting in Sagittarius, then going Void of Course from 8:10 P.M. to 11:24 P.M., then entering Capricorn, starting in the 20th Mansion, Al Nalaim/Nahaym, good for compulsion, underhanded dealings, good for travel, then entering the 21st Mansion of the Moon, Al Bal’dah/ Elbelda, good for acquiring material possessions, around 9:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 5:33 A.M., and last 74.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 8:29 P.M., lasting 45.33 minutes, Sun in Cancer, Mercury in Gemini, Venus in Gemini, Mars in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn retrograde Scorpio. We’re all just cats on a hot tin roof, trying to stay on as best we can, the tone being set early in the day with abundant kinetic energy set up by the Moon being trine Uranus and sextile Mars, while concern about the consequences of acting on these impulses being dampened by the Moon being in opposition to Venus. Today is a day which compels risk-taking (whether the results are worth it or not). The evening brings the Moon in opposition to Mercury, which can lead to faltering judgment, or a failure of nerve. As one becomes conscious of one’s situation, you might wonder how you got so far out on this limb. This is a day to utilize ones magicks to draw things to you, for acquisition, in general for hunter-gatherer behavior.
