Saturday, August 02, 2014, 8 Pyanopsion, dedicated to Poseidon, Philip II’s Macedonian army finishes the conquest of the rest of Greece 338 BCE, birthday of Pierre L’Enfant, who laid out Washington D.C., 1754, overseen by the 14th Decan, Sic, ruled by Jupiter. 8th night of the Waxing Moon, starting Void of Course in Libra, then entering Scorpio 10:57 P.M., starting in the 16th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubana/Azubene, good for dealing with hindrances and reversals, moving in the evening into the 17th Mansion of the Moon, Al Iklil/Alichil, good for positive work on plans and situations already in motion, and for establishing new, powerful connections, around 1:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Saturn at 5:52 A.M., and last 71.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mercury at 8:11 P.M., lasting 48.33 minutes, Sun in Leo, Mercury in Leo, Venus in Cancer, Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Hopefully you had a chance to rest up yesterday. Today, conversation flows quite freely, perhaps too much so. The Sun’s move into the 14th Decan, ruled by Jupiter, is augmented by Mecury being conjunct Jupiter in the afternoon, provoking torrents of chit-chat. And the conversation keeps on flowing, thanks to Mercury being square Mars in the evening. This aspect cautions us to keep track of what’s being said, and to not steamroll your conversation over everyone elses. Just consider the day a very gabby cocktail party; try to enjoy yourself by listening as well as talking, we all might learn something. One’s magicks can assist in advancing one’s business plans, and as a catalyst to one’s creative endeavors.
