Wednesday, August 27, 2014, 3 Maimakterion, dedicated to Athena in the Athenian Calendar, in Roman rites dedicated to Volturnus, overseeing rivers and fountains, the “Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen” published by the French National Assembly 1789, 3rd night of the Waxing Moon, starting Void of Course in Virgo, then entering Libra 5:54 P.M., overseen by the 16th Decan, Thurmis, ruled by the Sun, starting in the 14th Mansion (Al Simak); good for promoting love, health, bad for land travel, good for other modes, then passing into the 15th Mansion (Al Ghafar/Algafra); a good time for treasure hunting and sleuthing, causing friction between people, dealing a blow, around 8:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 6:17 A.M., and last 66.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 7:37 P.M., lasting 53.33 minutes, Sun in Virgo, Mercury in Virgo, Venus in Leo, Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Well, the passions will certainly be stirred up just before Noon, when Venus and Mars square each other, which can lead to heightened emotional responses, both for good and ill. A passionate feeling of attachment can come over one, or, equally as easily, profound loathing. This is tempered during the day, but when the Moon moves into the 15th Mansion, it’s going to be more difficult to keep one’s emotions and responses in check. I really hate it when the day seems to be derived from an Italian opera libretto, particularly when the stars are closely studying Verdi’s Macbeth. And with the day being what it is, one’s magicks can easily turn to mischief.
