Sunday, November 30, 2014, 9 Anthesterion, no particular dedication, King Canute claims the English throne 1016 AD, Charles I captured 1648, birthday of St. Gregory 538 AD, of Philip Sidney 1554, of Johnathan Swift 1667, of Mark Twain 1835, of Winston Churchill 1874, of Oberon Zell 1942, death of Oscar Wilde 1900, the start of Advent, 9th night of the Waxing Moon, starting In pisces, then going Void of Course from 3:37 P.M. to 8:13 P.M., then entering Aries, overseen by the 25th Decan, Eregbuo, ruled by Mercury, starting in the 28th Mansion of the Moon Al Risha Batn/Arrexhe, good for increase, travel, love, then entering the 1st Mansion of the Moon, Al Sharatain/Alnath, which is good for dealing with complex systems, regulations, technical matters 8:14 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Sun at 6:59 A.M., and last 47.5 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Jupiter at 4:29 P.M., lasting 72.5 minutes, Sun in Sagittarius, Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. We get to shake off the obstructions of the last two days, when the Moon goes sextile Mars and trine Saturn in the afternoon, supporting our desire for a more active and productive weekend. After the last two days, is it any wonder that there’s a tendency to escape into fantasy land? Mercury square Neptune before midnight ought to allow for some interesting flights of fancy in one’s dreams. With the Mars/Saturn dynamo set in motion today, and the Moon’s passage into the first Mansion, it should be possible to utilize one’s magicks to bring order back to one’s doings.

Saturday, November 29, 2014, 8 Anthesterion, no particular dedication, Erwin Schrodinger publishes his thought experiment (Schrodinger’s Cat”) 1935, U.S. Roman church replaces the Latin Mass with English 1964, Pong is released 1972, birthday of Phyysicist Christian Doppler (Doppler effect) 1803, of C.S. Lewis 1898, 8th night of the Waxing Moon (1st Quarter), in Pisces, overseen by the 25th Decan, Eregbuo, ruled by Mercury, starting in the 27th Mansion of the Moon Al Mu’hir/Algorf, good for material gain, health, overcoming enemies, and aid to the desperate, then entering the 28th Mansion of the Moon Al Risha Batn/Arrexhe, good for increase, travel, love, bad for cherished things, around 9:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Saturn at 6:58 A.M., and last 47.6 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mercury at 4:29 P.M., lasting 72.4 minutes, Sun in Sagittarius, Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Another unsatisfying day, sorry to state. While it starts off well for one’s deams and aspirations, thanks to the Moon being conjunct Neptune, these seeds of hope fall on barren soil. This 1st quarter Moon brings more anxiety than delight, and the Moon squaring Venus in the evening makes it difficult to feel anything but disappointment. So, try to not let the doldrums get to you, as the day will be something like a day in the Carter Administration. This too will pass. This being the case, it might be best to keep one’s magickal work on the back burner today.

Friday, November 28, 2014, 7 Anthesterion, dedicated to Apollo, birthday of John Bunyan 1628, of William Blake 1757, death of Washington Irving 1859, of Enrico Fermi 1954, 7th night of the Waxing Moon, starting in Aquarius, then going Void of Course from 12:14 P.M. to 5:02 P.M., then entering Pisces, overseen by the 25th Decan, Eregbuo, ruled by Mercury, starting in the the 25th Mansion of the Moon, Al Alibiya/Caadulhachbia, good for hindering the activities of others, revenge, then entering the 26th Mansion Al Mukdim/Almiquedam, good for love and health, liberation, just before 1:00 A.M, finally entering the 27th Mansion of the Moon Al Mu’hir/Algorf, good for material gain, health, overcoming enemies, and aid to the desperate, just before 11:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Venus at 6:57 A.M., and last 47.75 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mars at 4:30 P.M., lasting 72.25 minutes, Sun in Sagittarius, Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Well, we had a good run the last few days, and it couldn’t continue. Today starts out with the Moon being in opposition to Jupiter, which is ideal to allow one to throw one’s finances out of kilter by overspending (Black Friday indeed), which is followed by the Moon being square Saturn the afternoon, making the rest of the day feel like being trapped in the traffic jam from hell. Early evening finds the Moon in Pisces, and the Moon square mercury, which may lead to half-hearted and incomprehensible explainations. All in all, this is a day that calls for caution. I would devote one’s magickal activities to molding some careful path through the astrological roadblocks in front of us today.

Wednesday, November 26, 2014

Thursday, November 27, 2014, 6 Anthesterion, dedicated to Artemis, death of Latin Poet Horace 8 AD, of French King Clovis 511, of Athanasius Kircher 1680, 6th night of the Waxing Moon, in Aquarius, overseen by the 25th Decan, Eregbuo, ruled by Mercury, starting in the 24th Mansion of the Moon, Al Sulud/Caaddcohot, good for overcoming those against you, general success, then entering the 25th Mansion of the Moon, Al Alibiya/Caadulhachbia, good for hindering the activities of others, revenge, around 4:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 6:56 A.M., and last 47.8 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 4:30 P.M., lasting 72.2 minutes, Sun in Sagittarius, Mercury in Scorpio, Venus starts in Sagittarius, then moves into Sagittarius 9:26 P.M., Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. As holidays are generally fraught with interciene tensions, one hopes that Uranus is not placed prominently in your chart. It goes sextile at Noon today. It being retrograde, this can have the tendency to crystalize one’s brilliant insights into fact rather than opinion, with the typical clashes of will over the stuffing. Fortunately, the Moon is also setile Venus, so it should be possible to rein it all in. direct that purposeful thought outwards, and utilize your magicks to block the progress of things you don’t care for.
Wednesday, November 26, 2014, 5 Anthesterion, no particular dedication, Octavian, Lepidus and Anthony form the 2nd Triumvirate 43 BCE, Howard Cater officially opens the tomb of Tutankamen 1922 AD, 5th night of the Waxing Moon, starting in Capricorn, then going Void of Course from 10:30 A.M. to 2:22 P.M., then entering Aquarius, overseen by the 25th Decan, Eregbuo, ruled by Mercury, starting in the 23rd Mansion of the Moon, Sa’d Bula/Caaddebolach, good for health, freedom, then entering the 24th Mansion of the Moon, Al Sulud/Caaddcohot, good for overcoming those against you, general success, around 6:30 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 6:55 A.M., and last 48 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 4:31 P.M., lasting 72 minutes, Sun in Sagittarius, Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Excepting the weather, expect pretty smooth sailing today. Cooperative behavior should be in good supply, with the Moon being conjunct Mars and sextile Saturn, Mercury and the Sun. If you don’t accomplish all today, it’s not because the planets were aligned against us. Utilize one’s magicks to clear the air, and to remove blockages.

Monday, November 24, 2014

Monday, November 24, 2014, 3 Anthesterion, dedicated to Athena, Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species” published 1859, birthday of Scott Joplin 1868, of William F Buckley 1925, 3rd night of the Waxing Moon, starting Void of Course in Sagittarius, then entering Capricorn 11:31 A.M., overseen by the 25th Decan, Eregbuo, ruled by Mercury, starting in the 21st Mansion of the Moon, Al Bal’dah/ Elbelda, good for acquiring material possessions, then entering the 22nd Mansion Sa’d da’bih/Caadaldepa, good for health, liberation, around 1:15 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 6:52 A.M., and last 48.33 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 4:32 P.M., lasting 71.66 minutes, Sun in Sagittarius, Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Saggitarius, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. It’s a good day to sit down and work out one’s longer range plans and strategies, what with the Moon being in Capricorn and being trine Neptune. It being in Capricorn allows for tight paramaters to focus the imaginativte explorations engendered by Neptune. One’s magicks may be utilized for most any positive work

Saturday, November 22, 2014

Saturday, November 22, 2014, 1 Anthesterion, dedicated to one’s personal Deities, assassination of President Kennedy 1963, night of the New Moon, the day starting in Scorpio, then going Void of Course from 12:53 A.M. to 7:18 A.M., then entering Sagittarius, first overseen by the 24th Decan, Sentinu, ruled by Venus, moving to the rule of the 25th Decan, Eregbuo, ruled by Mercury just before 7:00 A.M., starting in the 19th Mansion, Al Shaulah/ Exaula, good for all defensive and aggressive work, then entering the 20th Mansion, Al Nalaim/Nahaym, good for compulsion, underhanded dealings, good for travel, around 3:15 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Saturn at 6:50 A.M., and last 48.6 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mercury at 4:33 P.M., lasting 71.4 minutes, Sun starts in Scorpio, enters Sagittarius 7:19 A.M., Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Today could be fraught with exaggeration and evasion, I’m sorry to say. At the minimum, it will seem easier to overestimate what is possible, and to make promises that will be difficult to keep. At the start of today, one’s activities are first bounded by the Moon being conjunct Saturn, and then by it being conjunct the Sun, which gives a push to focusing on things as they are. As we move into the evening, the warm feelings engendered by the Moon being conjunct Venus are blown out of proportion by it also being square Neptune and Jupiter, which leads to the first mentioned difficulties. Have a caution about professing undying love, or promising expensive gifts or vacations. It’s so easy to promise the Moon when you don’t even have a large rock to your name. If you have the self-control to resist this compulsion, remember that those around you may not have the same inner strength. One’s magicks can easily drift to concealment and sustaining a convincing illusion.

Friday, November 21, 2014

Friday, November 21, 2014, 28 Gamelion, dedicated to Hekate, Judas Maccabaeus begins restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem 164 BCE, Mayflower Compact signed 1620, Edison brings out his talking machine 1877, birth of Voltaire 1694, 2nd night of the Dark of the Moon, in Scorpio, overseen by the 24th Decan, Sentinu, ruled by Venus, starting in the 18th Mansion of the Moon, Al Kalb/Alkab, good for plots and revenge, then entering the 19th Mansion, Al Shaulah/ Exaula, good for all defensive and aggressive work, around 4:30 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Venus at 6:49 A.M., and last 48.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mars at 4:33 P.M., lasting 71.33 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Saggitarius, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. There are levels of drive and ambition, and today should allow you to tap into all of them, thanks to the Mercury being sextile Mars in the morning and the Moon being sextile Mercury and conjunct Mercury in the afternoon. Have a caution about going balls out, however, as it could appear you’re merely a pushy New Yorker (no matter from where you hail), rather than sharp and on point. The Moon being square in the late afternoon can make you take on too much, and promise to fix everything. As for one’s magicks, it’s a powerful day to effect change.

Thursday, November 20, 2014

Thursday, November 20, 2014, 27 Gamelion, dedicated to Hekate, Hera, Zeus telios (of the sacred rites) and Poseidon, Diocletian proclaimed Emperor 284 AD, birthday of Edwin Hubble, astronomer 1889, of Robert Kennedy 1925, death of Leo Tolstoi 1910, 1st night of the Dark of the Moon, starting Void of Course in Libra, then entering Scorpio 12:31 A.M., overseen by the 24th Decan, Sentinu, ruled by Venus, starting in the 17th Mansion of the Moon, Al Iklil/Alichil, good for positive work on plans and situations already in motion, and for establishing new, powerful connections, then moving into the 18th Mansion of the Moon, Al Kalb/Alkab, good for plots and revenge, around 4:30 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 6:48 A.M., and last 48.8 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 4:34 P.M., lasting 71.2 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Saggitarius, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. With the Moon being trine, and Venus being square Neptune this morning, it’s difficult to maintain any stoic indifference. Quite the contrary. One’s desires move to the forefront, looking for expression, for an outlet. If you were searching for a day to strut your stuff, and to act on one’s collecting instincts, today is the day. I see lots of activity on Ebay, Tinder, Grinder and the like. One’s magicks may certainly be employed in glamor work as well as drawing people and things to you. Be sure tokeep up your stamina.

Wednesday, November 19, 2014

Wednesday, November 19, 2014, 26 Gamelion, no particular dedication, Colombus discovers Puerto Rico 1493, Lewis and Clark reach the Pacific Ocean 1805, Lincoln delivers the Gettysberg Address 1863, birthday of King Charles I 1600, 13th night of the Waning Moon, starting in Libra, then going Void of Course from 9:25 A.M. through the rest of the day, overseen by the 24th Decan, Sentinu, ruled by Venus, starting in the 16th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubana/Azubene, good for dealing with hindrances and reversals, then entering into the 17th Mansion of the Moon, Al Iklil/Alichil, good for positive work on plans and situations already in motion, and for establishing new, powerful connections, after 3:15 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 6:47 A.M., and last 49 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 4:35 P.M., lasting 71 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Saggitarius, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. The day starts off at a disadvantage, with the Moon being square Mars, bringing the possibility of a low level irritability and unease. While this impedes the full benefits of the Moon going sextile Jupiter, most of the negative effects of Mars do dissipate. However, as the day becomes more gracious and expansive under Jupiter, you may find yourself looking over your shoulder and checking in your rearview mirror due to the lingering sense of unease. As for one’s magicks, support and nurture work already inprogress.

Tuesday, November 18, 2014

Tuesday, November 18, 2014, 25 Gamelion, no particular dedication, 1st St Peter’s Basilica dedicated 326 AD, current one dedicated 1626, Aleister Crowley initiated into the Golden Dawn 1898, birthday of Loius-Jacque Daguerre 1787, 12th night of the Waning Moon, in Libra, overseen by the 24th Decan, Sentinu, ruled by Venus, starting in the 15th Mansion (Al Ghafar/Algafra); a good time for treasure hunting and sleuthing, causing friction between people, dealing a blow, around 2:00 A.M., finally entering the 16th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubana/Azubene, good for dealing with hindrances and reversals, after 2:30 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 6:44 A.M., and last 49.5 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 4:36 P.M., lasting 70.5 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury Scorpio, Venus in Saggitarius, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Duty and responsibility as a yoke cause some chafing today, with the Sun being conjunct Saturn early in the morning, as the burdens of one’s responsibilities (many of which have been knowingly taken on) multiply. Pressures can force one into some extreme daydreams, thanks to the Moon being in opposition to Neptune in the afternoon. Try to not tweet your revenge fantasies; however, you may use the energies generated by the Moon’s move into the 16th Mansion to organize the flow of responsibilities into a more effective structure.

Monday, November 17, 2014

Monday, November 17, 2014, 24 Gamelion, no particular dedication, Elizabeth I becomes Queen 1558, American Theosophical Society founded 1875, birthday of Emperor Vespasian 9 AD, of Emperor Julian the Apostate 331, of Israel Regardie 1907, death of Giovanni Pico de Mirandola 1494, 11th night of the Waning Moon, starting in Gemini, going Void of Course from 6:11 A.M. to 2:39 P.M., then entering Libra, overseen by the 24th Decan, Sentinu, ruled by Venus, 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 4:40 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 6:44 A.M., and last 49.5 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 4:36 P.M., lasting 70.5 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury Scorpio, Venus in Saggitarius, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Today’s message is that I’ts best to go along to get along, which shouldn’t be too difficult. With the Moon being sextile the Sun and Saturn in the morning, it should be easy to sort out what is necessary and not to be distracted by trivialities. In the afternoon, Venus being sextile the Moon only increases the move towards cooperative behavior. It’s probably better to employ one’s magicks for more subtle effects today, particularly in the afternoon, as the move into the 15th Mansion can make one a bit blind as to what you desire to do being best for all, or merely best for you.

Sunday, November 16, 2014

Sunday, November 16, 2014, 23 Gamelion, no particular dedication, Inkan Emporer captured by Pizarro 1532, 10th night of the Waning Moon, in Virgo, overseen by the 24th Decan, Sentinu, ruled by Venus, starting in the 13th Mansion of the Moon, Al Awwa /Alahue, good for aid, comfort, assistance, around 14th Mansion, Al Simak/ Azimech, good for promoting love, health; bad for land travel, good for other modes, after 12:45 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Sun at 6:43 A.M., and last 49.5 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Jupiter at 4:37 P.M., lasting 70.5 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury Scorpio, Venus starts in Scorpio, moves into Sagittarius 2:04 P.M., Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Things should become less muddled today, in both one’s interior and outer life. Neptune goes direct 2:06 A.M., and combines with the Moon being sextile Mercury and conjunct Mars. It should be easier to get things sorted, and to unlock one’s creative potential. It’s a good day for cleansings and working on health concerns.

Saturday, November 15, 2014

Saturday, November 15, 2014, 22 Gamelion, no particular dedication, artilces of Confederation adopted by Continental Congress 1777, birthday of Astronomer William Herschel 1738, death of Emperor Justinian 565 AD, of Albertus Magnus 1280, of Johannes Kepler 1630, 9th night of the Waning Moon, starting Void of Course in Leo, then entering Virgo 2:08 A.M., overseen by the 24th Decan, Sentinu, ruled by Venus, starting in the 12th Mansion of the Moon, Al Sarfah/Acarfal, good for excellent for friendship and charitable acts, into the 13th Mansion of the Moon, Al Awwa/Alahue, good for aid, comfort, assistance, around 10:30 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Saturn at 6:42 A.M., and last 49.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mercury at 4:38 P.M., lasting 70.33 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury Scorpio, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. There’s a good chance of one’s perceptions being off-kilter today; as Neptune prepares to go direct tomorrow, it is in opposition to the Virgo Moon today. While we won’t be hearing spectral voices, it is all too easy to pick up on disturbing thoughts and amplifying them into actions that do not need to be taken. This is the sort of day when a loved one will have a contentious conversation with you over something that occurred in a dream. Try to analyze situations dispassionately, rather than reacting on pure instinct or impressions, as we are all a bit skittish. At least we are progressing though some of the more stable and supportive Lunar Mansions, so we can work with those energies to manifest calm.

Friday, November 14, 2014

Friday, November 14, 2014, 21 Gamelion, no particular dedication, “Moby Dick” published 1851, Albert Einstein presents his quantum theory 1908, 8th night of the Waning Moon (Last Quarter), in Leo, going Void of Course from 9:53 P.M., overseen by the 24th Decan, Sentinu, ruled by Venus, starting in the 11th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubrah/Azobra, which is good for reversing negative opinions and judgments, then entering the 12th Mansion of the Moon, Al Sarfah/Acarfal, good for friendship and charitable acts, around 4:30 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Venus at 6:41 A.M., and last 49.75 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mars at 4:39 P.M., lasting 70.25 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury Scorpio, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. If possible, this is a good day to call in sick, unplug the phone, and occupy your mind with some neglected projects, which you should pursue at your own pace. I make this suggestion because, while the Moon is conjunct Jupiter early in the morning, bringing one’s better instincts to the fore, you can be disappointed by your desires outstripping possibilities (as is often the case during the Last Quarter, with the Moon being square the Sun), with more hinderances being thrown up by the Moon being square Saturn and Venus in the evening. So, as long as you have no pressing business, it’s best to disengage, rather than being disappointed.on the bright side, it’s a fine day to engage in supportive magicks, the Moon being in the 12th mansion.

Thursday, November 13, 2014

Thursday, November 13, 2014, 20 Gamelion,no particular dedication in the Athenian Calendar, in Roman Rites dedicated to Feronia, the vital power of the wild, Fortuna Primigenia, and Jove, birthday of Saint Augustine 354 AD, 7th night of the Waning Moon, in Leo, overseen by the 24th Decan, Sentinu, ruled by Venus, starting in the 10th Mansion of the Moon, Al Jabhah/Algebhah good for love and friendship, thwarting criminal activities and evil intentions, then entering the 11th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubrah/Azobra, which is good for reversing negative opinions and judgments, around 6:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 6:40 A.M., and last 50 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 4:40 P.M., lasting 70 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury Scorpio, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Today is one of those days which may goad us into trying too hard. With the best of intentions, things can go awry, or not have a successful resolution. It’s a rocky road, the day starting with the Moon being Square Mercury, and ending with it Square Jupiter. Rather than taking action (which every fiber of one’s being might be urging you to undertake), it might be best to just let things muddle along without your intervention, as you may find it impossible to come up with solutions…today. Keep a light touch where one’s magicks are concerned, as there is the same tendency afoot to do something, anything, and the effort will be out of proportion to results.

Tuesday, November 11, 2014

Tuesday, November 11, 2014, 19 Gamelion, no particular dedication, Veterans/Armistice Day, World War I ends 1918, first giant duststorm in the Great Plains 1933, priestly ordination in the Church of England approved 1992, birthday of Paracelsus 1493, death of King Clovis 511 AD, of nat Turner 1831, 5th night of the Waning Moon, in Cancer, overseen by the the 23rd Decan, Tepisu, 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, just before 3:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 6:37 A.M., and last 50.4 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 4:42 P.M., lasting 69.6 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury Scorpio, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. While there’s quite a bit of dynamism generated today by the Moon being trine the Sun, it’s all too easy for it to be channeled towards bickering and in-fighting. This occurring during a Cancer Moon, combined with the Moon being in opposition to Mars and square Uranus retrograde, can create a lens under which petty slights (real or imagined) can be magnified all out of proportion. Try to vent your frustrations in a way that you don’t spend the rest of the week making amends. One’s magicks can easily take a left-handed turn.

Monday, November 10, 2014

Monday, November 10, 2014, 18 Gamelion, no particular dedication, France ends forced participation in church 1793, Berlin Wall begins to come down 1989, birthday of Martin Luther 1483, death of Arthur Rimbaud 1891, 4th night of the Waning Moon, starting Void of Course in Gemini, then entering Cancer, 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, at 3:38 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 6:36 A.M., and last 50.6 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 4:43 P.M., lasting 69.4 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury Scorpio, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. While one’s imagination may take a dark turn today, at least it will be kicking into high gear, thanks to the Cancer Moon being trine Neptune retrograde after Noon. This combined with the Moon being trine Mercury early in the day ought to provide some intriguing fuel for one’s creative endeavors. Dust off those half-completed projects and start them back up, or better yet, strike out in a new direction and try your hand at an unfamiliar medium, if you’ve been suffering from a blockage. Your magicks should be able to act as a catalyst to leapfrog the linear progress you have heretofore been making in your workings for others.

Sunday, November 9, 2014

Sunday, November 09, 2014, 17 Gamelion, no particular dedication, Napoleon Bonaparte becomes dictator 1799, Kristallnacht 1938, Northeast blackout 1965, death of Pagan Bard Gwidion Pendderwen 1982, 3rd night of the Waning Moon, in Gemini, going Void of Course from 11:22 A.M. through the rest of the day, overseen by the the 23rd Decan, Tepisu, starting in the 6th Mansion of the Moon Al Han’ah/Athaya, good for stirring things up, promoting cruel and destructive acts, agricultural disasters, then entering the 7th Mansion of the Moon, Al Dhira/Aldirah, good for success when contending against authority figures, and for acts promoting gain, love, comfort, just before 5:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Sun at 6:35 A.M., and last 50.75 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Jupiter at 4:44 P.M., lasting 69.25 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury Scorpio, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Today supports a generous, open-handed nature, thanks to the Moon being sextile Jupiter before Noon. The pleasure received by providing aid and assistance is its own reward, of course, but it can sometimnes shade into feeling as though one is Lord of the Manor, or Lady Bountiful, and such is the tendency in the afternoon, when Venus squares Jupiter. Have a care to make promises which you can actually afford to keep, rather than simply saying yes to every request for cash or assistance. One’s magicks may also be employed to increase the bounty for all and sundry.

Saturday, November 08, 2014, 16 Gamelion, no particular dedication in the Athenian calender, in Roman rites the final opening of the “mundus”, a ritual pit connecting the underworld to the upper world, Theodosius declares Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire 392 A.D., Bodleian Library opens at Oxford 1602, 1st library in U.S opened by Benjamin Franklin 1731, Wilhelm Rontgen discovers X-rays 1895, marriage of Patricia and Arnold Crowther 1960, birthday of Emperor Nerva 30 A.D., of Vlad the Impaler 1431, of Edmund Halley 1656, of Bram Stoker 1847, death of Dun Scotus 1308, of John Milton 1674, 2nd night of the Waning Moon, in Gemini, overseen by the the 23rd Decan, Tepisu, ruled by Sun, starting in the 5th Mansion of the Moon Al Haq’a/Almices, good for healing, building, children, the return of lost things, then entering the 6th Mansion of the Moon, Al Han’ah/Athaya, a day for stirring things up, promoting cruel and destructive acts, agricultural disasters, just before 5:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Saturn at 6:34 A.M., and last 50.9 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mercury at 4:45 P.M., lasting 69.1 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury starts in Libra, then enters Scorpio 6:09 P.M., Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. A day conducive to plots and schemes, conspiracies and forming cabals. With Mercury entering Scorpio in the evening and the Moon being square Neptune retrograde in the morning and sextile Uranus retrograde in the evening, the stage is set to not only take stock of the people and situations which are holding you back, but an urge to take sudden and decisive action to deal with them may take hold. With the Sun, Mercury and Venus in Scorpio, as well as the Moon being in the 6th Mansion, this can lead to rash and self-destructive decisions, so its best to stick to the planning and list making rather than acting. One’s magicks can follow the same tendency today, so, if you must do something, direct your will towards a despot or terrorist in the news, rather than blasting the barrista who flubbed your morning order.

Friday, November 07, 2014, 15 Gamelion, no particular dedication, astronomical point for Samhain just after 7:00 A.M. (Sun at 15 degrees Scorpio), Lewis and Clark sight the Pacific Ocean 1805, death of Solomon Luria 1573, 1st night of the Waning Moon, starting in Taurus, then going Void of Course from 11:17 A.M. to 8:44 P.M., then entering Gemini, overseen by the the 23rd Decan, Tepisu, ruled by Sun, starting in the 4th Mansion of the Moon, Al Deberan/ Aldeberan, good for playing the margins, shaking things up, then moving into the 5th Mansion of the Moon Al Haq’a/Almices, good for healing, building, children, the return of lost things, just before 6:00 A.M.

Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mars at 4:46 P.M., lasting 68.9 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury in Libra, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Lock up your credit cards! With the Moon being square Jupiter and in opposition to Saturn in the morning, the day can manifest the sort of frustrations which engender shopping therapy. In this economy, the hangover from indulging oneself can be painful; you’ve been warned. On the bright side , the day being under the auspices of the 5th Mansion make this a good day to provide magickal aid to others, as well as utilizing the energies of the astronomical point of Samhain for divination.

Thursday, November 6, 2014

Thursday, November 06, 2014, 15 Gamelion, no particular dedication, Supernova appears in Casseopia 1572, start of the Bolshevik Revolution 1917, birthday of Suleiman the Great 1494, of Thomas Kyd 1558, Full Moon in Taurus, overseen by the the 23rd Decan, Tepisu, ruled by Sun, starting in the 3rd Mansion of the Moon, Al Thurayya/Alzoraya, good for career support, general good luck, and to help or hinder judicial matters, moving the 4th Mansion of the Moon, Al Deberan / Aldeberan, good for playing the margins, shaking things up, around 6:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 6:31 A.M., and last 51.33 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 4:47 P.M., lasting 68.66 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury in Libra, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. This is a fairly dynamic Full Moon, the day starting with it being sextile Neptune retrograde and trine Mars, so don’t be surprised at great intuitive leaps and the opportunity to act upon them. As we move towards midnight however, the Moon is square Venus, so in the overnight hours and at the start of Friday, opinions and hearts harden a bit, as we become more dispassionate, and and dissatisfied with those who do not live up to our expectations. The tendency of one’s magicks are to clear the path for oneself while entangling those of others, if necessary.

Wednesday, November 5, 2014

Wednesday, November 05, 2014, 14 Gamelion, no particular dedication, death of Physicist James Clerk Maxwell 1879, Guy Fawkes attempts to blow up Parliament 1605, 14th night of the Waxing Moon, starting in Aries, then going Void of Course from 8:25 A.M. to 4:42 P.M., then entering Taurus, overseen by the the 23rd Decan, Tepisu, ruled by Sun, starting in the 2nd Mansion of the Moon, Al Botein/Alboitan, good for finding treasure, capturing things, exciting situations, achieving things, then entering the 3rd Mansion of the Moon, Al Thurayya/Alzoraya, good for career support, general good luck, and to help or hinder judicial matters, around 8:30 A.M.

Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 4:48 P.M., lasting 68.1 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury in Libra, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. The Moon is in opposition to Mercury just as it goes Void of Course, increasing the chances of missing the important points while to busy chatting, so try to pay attention and focus while the others rattle on, forewarned and all that. The main reason to pay attention is that, while communications are a bit rocky, the over-riding influence is the Moon being trine Jupiter, which places concerns about one’s status and position in the lead. Utilize one’s magicks for additional career support, as this is made easier by the Moon’s entrance into the 3rd Mansion.

Monday, November 03, 2014, 12 Gamelion, dedicated to Dionysus of the Winepress, birthday of the poet Lucan 39 AD, first recorded burning of a Witch in Ireland 1324, a servant of Lady Alice Kyteler (she being accused of leading a group of Witches), Petronella de Meath, 12th night of the Waxing Moon, starting in Pisces, then going Void of Course from 4:05 A.M. to 1:53 P.M., then entering Aries, overseen by the the 23rd Decan, Tepisu, ruled by Sun, starting in the 28th Mansion of the Moon Al Risha Batn/Arrexhe, good for increase, travel, love, then entering the 1st Mansion of the Moon, Al Sharatain/Alnath, which is good for dealing with complex systems, regulations, technical matters, just after 11:00 A.M.

Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 4:50 P.M., lasting 68.2 minutes, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury in Libra, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. A day best navigated by adhering to structure and order, staying within the boundaries, thanks to the confluence of the Moon being trine Saturn and it moving into the 1st Mansion. It’s all about sticking to the rule-book. Magically, it’s a day for commanding and compelling, for fending off chaos (or to utilize the tension between order and chaos).

Tepisu is depicted as a man riding a camel, holding a scorpion, and influences things being overturned, brought to ruin
