Monday, February 09, 2015, 21 Mounichion, no particular dedication, birthday of Constantine XI Dragases, last Byzantine Emperor 1404, 6th night of the Waning Moon, in Libra, going Void of Course 6:58 A.M. through the rest of the day, first overseen by 32nd Decan, Cratero, ruled by Mercury, then moving to the 33rd Decan, Tepis, ruled by the Moon, around 6:00 A.M., starting in the 16th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubana/Azubene, good for dealing with hindrances and reversals, then entering 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, around 4:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 7:58 A.M., and last 51.9 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 5:21 P.M., lasting 68.1 minutes, Sun in Aquarius, Mercury retrograde in Aquarius, Venus in Pisces, Mars in Pisces, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius. With most of the day being Void of Course in Libra, a certain latitude of action is available to us. While you shouldn’t allow it to devolve into an “anything goes” attitude, a certain fuzzy logic will carry through the day, fueled by the Moon being sextile Jupiter retrograde and trine the Sun. while everything might not go your way, it should still be a fun time getting there. Magickally, it’s a good day to renew one’s protections against melancholia and despair. The 33rd Decan can be represented as a man of a dark, melancholic appearance, or as a decapitated man obscured by an old woman. The Decan tends to have a malign influence.
