Wednesday, September 17, 2014, 24 Miamakterion, no particular dedication, destruction of the Library of Alexandria 642 AD, Anton van Leeuwenhoek discovers bacteria with his microscope 1683, adoption of the Constitution be the Philadephia congress 1787, “Bewitched” debuts on ABC 1964, death of Hildegard of Bingen 1179, 8th night of the Waning Moon, in Cancer, overseen by the 18th Decan, Afut, ruled by Mercury, starting in the 8th Mansion of the Moon, Al Nathra/Ahaathra, governing positive aspects of love and happiness, but not advantageous in legal matters, then entering the 9th Mansion of the Moon Al Tarf/ Atarf, a time for baneful and destructive forms of magic, around 9:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 6:38 A.M., and last 62.1 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 7:03 P.M., lasting 57.9 minutes, Sun in Virgo, Mercury in Libra, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. The benevolent aspects of the Moon being sextile Venus are bracketed today by ill-aspected outer planets, the Moon being in opposition to Pluto retrograde in the morning, and square Uranus retrograde late afternoon. This mixture can lead to oneself or others being way too confident that they know what’s best for others, and being rather insistent about it. Have a caution about expressing opinion as irrefutable fact. Magickally, the influence of the 9th mansion late in the evening can lend power to making things conform to one’s will, but this can cause unforeseen consequences.
