Sunday, August 31, 2014, 7 Maimakterion, dedicated to Apollo, first “Ripper” Murder 1888, birthday of Caligula 12 AD, of Commodus 161, of Raymond Buckland 1934, 7th night of the Waxing Moon, in Scorpio, overseen by the 16th Decan, Thurmis, ruled by the Sun, starting in the 18th Mansion of the Moon, Al Kalb/Alkab, good for plots and revenge, then entering the 19th Mansion, Al Shaulah/ Exaula, good for all defensive and aggressive work, around 9:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Sun at 6:21 A.M., and last 65.8 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Jupiter at 7:31 P.M., lasting 54.2 minutes, Sun in Virgo, Mercury in Virgo, Venus in Leo, Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. It’s difficult to tamp down one’s aggressive impulses today. The emotional swing is set in motion just after midnight, when the Moon squares Jupiter, which with a Scorpio Moon can make one build on perceived grudges and slights, and this is intensified by the Moon occluding Saturn in the afternoon, magnifying the limitations of a circumstance or situation, while after 9:00 P.M., the Moon is conjunct Mars. All that energy and frustration will seek to ground itself, so try to be cautious and separate how you might be feeling, and what the actual circumstances are, as there will be quite a few people running around on a hair trigger. One’s magicakal endeavors will just slide into aggressive work, even when your intentions are otherwise.
