Monday, December 08, 2014, 17 Anthesterion, 2nd night of the Waning Moon, in Cancer, Immaculate Conception of Mary promulgated by the Roman Church 1854, U.S. enters WWII 1941, birthday of Horace 65 BCE, of Mary Stuart 1542 AD, of George Melies 1861, murder of John Lennon 1980, overseen by the 26th Decan, Sagou, ruled by the Moon, 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 11:15 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 7:07 A.M., and last 46.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 4:27 P.M., lasting 73.33 minutes, Sun in Sagittarius, Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter in Leo, goes retrograde 3:41 P.M., Saturn in Scorpio. And so, the great sorting out begins, as Jupiter goes retrograde this afternoon. In combination with the Moon being conjunct Mercury and square Uranus, one’s dissatisfactions can move from being vague feelings to being a concrete list and action plan. I know, another task during the holiday season, but there you have it. It’s not that you need to get it all out in the open today, but it’s a good day to begin sorting out what you want, what you expect out of one’s relationships (both personal and professional), and to begin the process of transformation. Have a care with one’s magicks today, there is the temptation towards extreme actions to untangle trivial matters.
