Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 4:29 P.M., lasting 72.6 minutes, Sun in Sagittarius, Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Capricorn, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. There should be more than enough get up and go to get up and go, despite the reversals one may have experienced the last few days. One’s focus ought to improve before sunrise with the Moon being sextile Mercury, followed by the Moon being trine the Sun, which should dispel any lingering lethargy. This is followed by Mars being sextile Saturn around 2:00 P.M., making the rest of the day all about demonstrating one’s abilities and shouldering responsibility. While all of this is not glamorous, the sense of competency and accomplishment should be reward enough. One’s magicks are best devoted to creating secure alliances and removing blockages to one’s career path.
