Monday, August 18, 2014, 24 Pyanopsion, no particular dedication, death of Genghis Khan 1227, Urbain Grandier burned for Socery in Loundon France 1634, 7th night of the Waning Moon, in Gemini, overseen by the 15th Decan, Futile, ruled by Mars, starting in the 5th Mansion of the Moon Al Haq’a/Almices, good for healing, building, children, the return of lost things, then entering the 6th Mansion of the Moon, Al Han’ah/Athaya, a day for stirring things up, promoting cruel and destructive acts, agricultural disasters, around 1:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 6:08 A.M., and last 68.6 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 7:51 P.M., lasting 51.4 minutes, Sun in Leo, Mercury in Virgo, Venus in Leo, Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Despite the day being in the 6th Mansion of the Moon, this could be a fairly fun day, it’s tendency being more transformation than destruction. Mercury and Neptune retrograde are square the Moon today, and in opposition to each other. This confluence can lead to some fairly nimble thinking and baroque conversational flourishes erupting. As the Moon is sextile Jupiter and Venus, andconjunct each other, this should prove more endearing than annoying. Underneath the awkwardness there is sincerity. One’s magicks are best employed to hold the more negative aspects of the day at bay, or to neutralize them.
