Thursday, January 08, 2015, 19 Elaphebolion, no particular dedication, death of Galileo 1642, of Dion Fortune 1946, 4th night of the Waning Moon, starting in Leo, then going Void of Course from 12:04 P.M. through 5:53 P.M., then entering Virgo, overseen by the 29th Decan, Epimu, ruled by Mars, 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 8:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 7:20 A.M., and last 47 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 4:44 P.M., lasting 73 minutes, Sun in Capricorn, Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Aquarius, Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius. Spending more and enjoying it less seems to be the rule for the day, thanks to the Moon being conjunct Jupiter and square Saturn during the course of the day, while one’s resistance is generally lower due to the Moon also being in opposition to Mars. It’s not a great situation to be in as the holiday bills come due, but there you have it. On the bright side, one’s magicks may be used to ameliorate these situations.
