Tuesday, December 09, 2014, 18 Anthesterion, no particular dedication in the Athenian calendar, in Roman rites dedicated to Gaia, Belisarius retakes Rome from the Ostrogoths 536 AD, Hugh Bewitt declares himself free of original sin, and so is banished from Massachusett Bay Colony 1640, birthday of John Milton 1608, 3rd night of the Waning Moon, starting in Cancer, then going Void of Course from 7:14P.M. to 10:13 P.M., then entering Leo, overseen by the 26th Decan, Sagou, ruled by the Moon, 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, just before 1:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 7:07 A.M., and last 46.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 4:27 P.M., lasting 73.33 minutes, Sun in Sagittarius, Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. As the day moves into the night, and the Moon enters Leo, today is defined by the Moon being trine Saturn at 7:14 P.M. if you needed to be reminded of one’s physical and mental limitations, that need will be answered today. The best way to positively integrate this information is to concentrate on what can do, rather than worrying about impossibilities (you still won’t have what it takes to be a sports hero; but then, it was never your desire). This can be a time to perceive one’s strengths rather than fritter away time and resources pursuing the unreasonable. One’s magicks can be utilized to illuminate the correct paths, to uncover the best purpose.
