Tuesday, September 16, 2014, 23 Maimakterion, no particular dedication, Roald Amunden reaches the South Pole 1906, birthday of Hildegard of Bingen 1098, death of Torquemada 1498, 7th night of the Waning Moon, starting Void of Course in Gemini, then entering Cancer 11:24 A.M., overseen by the 18th Decan, Afut, ruled by Mercury, starting in the 7th Mansion of the Moon, Al Dhira/Aldirah, good for success when contending against authority figures, good for acts promoting gain, love, comfort, then entering the 8th Mansion of the Moon, Al Nathra/Ahaathra, governing positive aspects of love and happiness, around 11:24 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 6:37 A.M., and last 62.25 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 7:04 P.M., lasting 57.75 minutes, Sun in Virgo, Mercury in Libra, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. The same influences that dominated yesterday apply today, in that we are compelled to be our own advocates. However, the lunar shift into Cancer (and the 8th Mansion), allow this to be accomplished with more subtlety and less assertiveness. It does help that it is easier to truly see what others are doing today, observational senses being sharper. As we move into the evening, the Cancer Moon being trine Neptune retrograde can lead to unexpected intuitions and insights. Magickally, the evening is ideal for divination and seeing far.
