Wednesday, October 15, 2014, 22 Gamelion, no particular dedication in the Athenian calendar, in Roman rites a horse sacrifice was made to Mars, as well as the day being dedicated to Jupiter,many Catholic countries switch from the Julian to the Georgian calender, which involved a shift of ten days, 1582, Napoleon begins his exile 1815, birthday of Virgil 70 BCE, of Mughal Emperor Akbar 1542, 5th night of the Waning Moon (Last Quarter), in Cancer, going Void of Course 7:27 P.M. through the rest of the day, overseen by the 21st Decan, Senta, ruled by Jupiter, starting in the 9th Mansion of the Moon Al Tarf/ Atarf, good for baneful and destructive forms of magic, then entering the 10th Mansion of the Moon, Al Jabhah/Algebhah good for love and friendship, thwarting criminal activities and evil intentions, around 9:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 7:06 A.M., and last 55.8 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 6:17 P.M., lasting 63.2 minutes, Sun in Libra, Mercury retrograde in Libra, Venus in Libra, Mars in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Things are mostly frozen in place today, and there is a tendency towards a certain cold, clinical reaction to situations. Last quarter Moons can be tricky, concerned more with what has not happened than what did, or could. While there’s great enterpirse in the air today, provided by the Sun being sexile Mars early in the morning, this forward motion is impeded by the Moon being square Venus, the Sun (naturally) and finally Mercury retrograde in the early evening. If you don’t manifest great desire, you should be able to get through the day. Otherwise, it’s a day of petty frustrations. This all makes it so tempting to strike out magickally. The same caveats appy as did yesterday, at least until the Moon moves into the 10th Mansion. The power is there to say “screw it” and lash out at impediments, but this could cause an avalance rather than clear a path.
