Thursday, December 11, 2014, 20 Anthesterion, no particular dedication in the Athenian calendar, in Roman rites the day of the Agonalia, Mayflower Pilgrims land at Plymouth Rock 1620, Louis XVI put on trial 1792, Bernard Madoff arrested 2008, a sacrifice of a Ram to the guardian deities of the State, 5th night of the Waning Moon, in Leo, overseen by the 26th Decan, Sagou, ruled by the Moon, the whole of the day in the 11th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubrah/Azobra, which is good for reversing negative opinions and judgments. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 7:09 A.M., and last 46.6 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 4:28 P.M., lasting 73.4 minutes, Sun in Sagittarius, Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Capricorn, Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Now, aren’t you glad you took it slow yesterday? Today brings wide open spaces in which to run up a win, or at least to appear that you have it together. Appearances matter, and the Moon being trine the Sun and Mercury during the day, and conjunct Jupiter in the evening, allows us to put on a good show, convincing to others (though not necessarily to oneself). With Jupiter being retrograde, one’s “gains” are somewhat illusory, but we’ll take the day into the plus column nonetheless. Utilize one’s magicks to bring more joy to all and sundry.
