Wednesday, September 10, 2014, 17 Maimakterion, no particular dedication, birthday of Marte Laveau 1801, Carl Weschcke 1930, of Steven Jay Gould 1941, assassination of Empress Elizabeth of Austria 1898, 2nd night of the Waning Moon, in Aries, going Void of Course 8:58 P.M., overseen by the 17th Decan, Ophicus, ruled by Venus, starting in the 1st Mansion of the Moon, Al Sharatain/Alnath, which is good for dealing with complex systems, regulations, technical matters, then entering the 2nd Mansion of the Moon, Al Botein/Alboitan, good for finding treasure, capturing things, exciting situations, achieving things, around 5:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 6:31 A.M., and last 63.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 7:15 P.M., lasting 56.33 minutes, Sun in Virgo, Mercury in Libra, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. We may all find it a bit too easy to forgive less than stellar behavior in others today, thanks to Venus being in opposition to Neptune retrograde this morning. This forgiving nature blends well with Jupiter being sextile Mercury and trine the Moon, supporting our desire to be seen in the best possible light, and to be esteemed. Don’t mistake tolerance for allowing yourself to be a doormat however. Use one’s magicks to shake the bag of possibilities, and see what emerges.
