It’s all about attending to business today. To the best of your ability, whether overtly or behind the scence, take command. The predominant influence today is the Lunar conjunction with Saturn. Additional support comes from all the inner planets being in eithr Leo or Scorpio. One’s magicks are best employed today in setting circunstances to one’s liking. The 15th Decan, Futile, the 3rd Face of Leo, is generally depicted in the Picatrix as a swarthy man eating fruits and meat, carrying a cauldron. Despite this appearance, this is a benevolent aspect, under Mars, dynamic and active. You might consider the attributes of Heracles or Chango as being sympathetic to this Decan.
