Wednesday, January 14, 2015, 25 Elaphebolion, no particular dedication, Massachusetts declares a day of fasting for wrongly persecuting the Salem witches 1699, birth of Mark Anthony 83 BCE, of Nostradamus 1503, death of Edmund Halley 1742, overseen by the 30th Decan Omot, ruled by Jupiter, starting in the 17th Mansion of the Moon, Al Iklil/Alichil, good for positive work on plans and situations already in motion, and for establishing new, powerful connections, then moving into the 18th Mansion of the Moon, Al Kalb/Alkab, good for plots and revenge, around 10:30 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 7:18 A.M., and last 47.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 4:50 P.M., lasting 72.33 minutes, Sun in Capricorn, Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Aquarius, Mars in Pisces, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius. Of course we’re all wonderful, but sometimes it’s easy for the boundaries of our individual wonderfulness to rub up against each other, and cause some friction. Today is one of those days. Our aspirations are certainly coddled and supported this morning by the Moon being trine Neptune and Mercury being sextile Uranus. So far so good. In the evening however, the sparks fly as egos clash while the Moon is square Mercury as well as Venus, making it easy to feel that one’s perogatives are suffering infringement. The 18th Mansion easily colors one’s magicks with striking out defensively.
