Wednesday, August 06, 2014, 12 Pyanopsion, in the Athenian Calender dedicated to Persephone and Demeter, 2nd day of the Thesmophoria, a fast day, and (seemingly) mirrors the state of Demeter during her search for Persephone, sitting on the ground, sharing grievances, hurling invective, Constitutional Convention first meets 1787, Judge Crater disappears in NYC 1930, death of Ben Johnson 1637, 12th night of the Waxing Moon, in Sagittarius, going Void of Course from 10:52 A.M. through the rest of the day, overseen by the 14th Decan, Sic, ruled by Jupiter, starting in the 20th Mansion, Al Nalaim/Nahaym, good for compulsion, underhanded dealings, good for travel, then entering the 21st Mansion of the Moon, Al Bal’dah/ Elbelda, good for acquiring material possessions, around 1:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 5:56 A.M., and last 70.9 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 8:07 P.M., lasting 49.1 minutes, Sun in Leo, Mercury in Leo, Venus in Cancer, Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. In these troubled times, today should be one of calm, perfect harmony (or we should be able to move towards that state). This rosy state of affairs is thanks to the Moon being trine the Sun and Mercury early this morning, with no conflicting aspects later occurring. It’s a great day to interact with others. One’s magicks are best applied to drawing things towards you, to expand your influence.
