Tuesday, August 26, 2014, 2 Maimakterion, dedicated to the Agathos Daimon in the Athenian Calendar, Ottoman Emipre takes over Hungary 1541, birthday of chemist Antoine-Laurent Lavoiser 1743, 2nd night of the Waxing Moon, in Virgo, going Void of Course from 10:29 P.M. through the rest of the evening, overseen by the 16th Decan, Thurmis, ruled by the Sun, starting in the 13th Mansion of the Moon, Al Awwa/Alahue, good for aid, comfort, assistance, 14th Mansion, Al Simak/ Azimech, good for promoting love, health; bad for land travel, good for other modes, around 9:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 6:16 A.M., and last 66.9 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 7:39 P.M., lasting 53.1 minutes, Sun in Virgo, Mercury in Virgo, Venus in Leo, Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. This is a difficult day for personal relationships, the tone being set by Venus squaring Saturn, which tends to make one yearn for an impossible response from loved ones, and their response being quite not what one hopes for. So, this is not the day to pop the question, or to have an in-depth conversation where things are going. Should you wish to just go about your professional day, this is the second one in a row where it’s best to lose yourself in it, as the Moon is now sextile Saturn, Mars and Mercury, making us all effective worker bees. It’s nice to have the distraction. Magickally, it’s a better day to keep things from falling apart than to work towards new goals.
