Sunday, March 29, 2015, 10 Hekatombaion, no particular dedication, Palm Sunday, 10th night of the Waxing Moon, starting Void of Course in Cancer, then entering Leo at 1:48 A.M, overseen by the 1st Decan, Senator, ruled by Mars, starting in the 10th Mansion of the Moon, Al Jabhah/Algebhah during the day, good for love and friendship, thwarts criminal activities and evil intentions, moving into the 11th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubrah/Azobra, which is good for reversing negative opinions and judgments, just before 5:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Sun at 6:47 A.M., and last 62.33 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Jupiter at 7:15 P.M., lasting 57.66 minutes, Sun in Aries Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. With the Leo Moon being trine Saturn retrograde in the morning, and trine the Sun in the evening, this should prove to be a straightforward, no nonsense day, with no fancy embellishments or rumination; here’s the task, engage the task, complete the task, then move on to the next.just keep your head down, and keep things simple. One’s magicks should be similarly directed; it’s a good day to trim away nonsense.

Friday, March 27, 2015, 8 Hekatombaion, dedicated to Poseidon, Ponce de Leon stumbles upon Florida 1513, Charles I ascends the throne 1625, 1st Morman Temple dedicated 1836, death of James I 1625, 8th night of the Waxing Moon, in Cancer, overseen by the 1st Decan, Senator, ruled by Mars, starting in the 8th Mansion of the Moon, Al Nathra/Ahaathra, governing positive aspects of love and happiness, but not advantageous in legal matters, then entering the 9th Mansion of the Moon Al Tarf/ Atarf, a time for baneful and destructive forms of magic, around 2:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Venus at 6:48 A.M., and last 62.1 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mars at 7:14 P.M., lasting 57.9 minutes, Sun in Aries Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. The emotional highs generated by this being the 1st quarter, provided by the Moon being square the Sun, are augmented by the Moon being trine Neptune in the morning. This should allow one to bring their insights to bear on a situation. The early afternoon has the Moon sextile Venus, which should aid us to all be more effective collaborators. This warm, cooperative behavior can become quite intense in the evening, with the Moon being square Uranus while Venus is square Jupiter retrograde. This can make it easy to misread a situation, throwing money, gifts and promises about to buy affection or closer ties. The combination of desire and the 9th Lunar Mansion makes this a day for coercive work.

Thursday, March 26, 2015, 7 Hekatombaion, dedicated to Apollo Atropaios (Averter of Evil), Book of Mormon published in Palmyra NY 1830, founding of the Paris Commune 1871, birthday of Joseph Campbell 1904, 7th night of the Waxing Moon, starting in Gemini, then going Void of Course from 8:35 A.M. to 3:44 P.M., then entering Cancer, overseen by the overseen by the 1st Decan, Senator, ruled by Mars, starting in the 7th Mansion of the Moon, Al Dhira/Aldirah, good for success when contending against authority figures, good for acts promoting gain, love, comfort, then entering the 8th Mansion of the Moon, Al Nathra/Ahaathra, governing positive aspects of love and happiness, Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 6:50 A.M., and last 61.9 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 7:13 P.M., lasting 58.1 minutes, Sun in Aries Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. The Moon is sextile to Mars just as it goes Void of Course this morning. While this power boost won’t have us running arpound mad as March hares, it will allow us to get through the days and get done what needs doing, even though your’e running on fumes. One’s magicks are well placed to work on burnishing one’s reputation.

Wednesday, March 25, 2015, 6 Hekatombaion, dedicated to Artemis, Venice established 421 A.D., Pope Innocent II establishes the Inquisition 1199, Robert the Bruce becomes King of Scotland 1306, Titan, largest Moon of Saturn, discovered 1655, Triangle Shirtwaist fire 1911, 6th night of the Waxing Moon, in Gemini, overseen by the 1st Decan, Senator, ruled by Mars, starting in the 6th Mansion of the Moon Al Han’ah/Athaya, good for stirring things up, promoting cruel and destructive acts, agricultural disasters, then entering the 7th Mansion of the Moon, Al Dhira/Aldirah, good for success when contending against authority figures, and for acts promoting gain, love, comfort, around 3:30 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 6:52 A.M., and last 61.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 7:12 P.M., lasting 58.33 minutes, Sun in Aries Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. This should prove to be a more workable day than yesterday, or at least it should feel like it. The morning starts out with greater optimism, thanks to the Moon being sextile Jupiter retrograde, and this combines in the early afternoon with it being sextile to Uranus. This combination can manifest as an almost manic burst of enthusiasm, as we are more eager to tackle the situations that come our way as the Sun goes trine Saturn retrograde 3:25 P.M. At least we can see ways to engage the workload coming our way. Of course, we may work ourselves too hard, and the Moon squaring Mercury after 11:00 P.M. can send our brains working overtime on the situations of the day. Try your best to disengage when day is done. One’s magicks can take a more positive tack after the Moon moves into the 7th Mansion. I would work on promoting calm and comfort in oneself and others.

Tuesday, March 24, 2015, 5 Hekatombaion, no particular dedication, James IV of Scotland becomes James I of England 1603, ground broken for the NYC subway system 1900, planet Pluto named 1930, death of Thomas Malory (author of “Le Mort d’Arthur”) 1471, Of Queen Elizabeth I 1603, 5th night of the Waxing Moon, starting Void of Course in Taurus, then entering Gemini 9:22 A.M., overseen by the 1st Decan, Senator, ruled by Mars, starting in the 5th Mansion of the Moon Al Haq’a/Almices, good for healing, building, children, the return of lost things, then entering the 6th Mansion of the Moon, Al Han’ah/Athaya, a day for stirring things up, promoting cruel and destructive acts, agricultural disasters, just before 3:30 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 6:53 A.M., and last 61.50 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 7:11 P.M., lasting 58.25 minutes, Sun in Aries Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. Today is made for the hopeless romantic, with an emphasis on the hopeless part. While this is temporary (as most things are), it can lead to some angst; but then, what is a romantic without angst? Deep wells of emotion are opened up by Venus being sextile Neptune in the afternoon, powered by the Moon being sextile the Sun. as we move towards evening, however, desire is thwarted by the Moon being in opposition to Saturn retrograde while squaring Neptune around Midnight. It’s best to find some distraction to keep your mind from dwelling on what is not occurring in one’s life right now. The magickal tides of the day make it tempting to lash out at those who you perceive as a hinderance.

Monday, March 23, 2015, 4 Hekatombaion, in the Athenian calendar dedicated to Hermes, Aphrodite, Eros, in Roman rites dedicated to Mars, the ritual washing of the martial trumpets, the Tubilustrum, birthday of William Kydd 1645, of astronomer Pierre-Simon Laplace 1749, 4th night of the Waxing Moon, in Taurus, going Void of Course from 10:24 A.M. through the rest of the day, overseen by the 1st Decan, Senator, ruled by Mars, starting in the 4th Mansion of the Moon, Al Deberan/ Aldeberan, good for playing the margins, shaking things up, then moving into the 5th Mansion of the Moon Al Haq’a/Almices, good for healing, building, children, the return of lost things, just before 7:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 6:55 A.M., and last 61.25 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 7:10 P.M., lasting 58.75 minutes, Sun in Aries Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. You might want to consider dialing it back a bit today. The morning starts with the Moon being square Jupiter retrograde while trine Mercury. This can provoke a variety of irrational exuberance, which can lead to you talking your head off, promising to do things you don’t have the resources for, or the time to do. One’s magicks are best focused on bringing order and increase.

Sunday, March 22, 2015, 3 Hekatombaion, dedicated to Athena in the Athenian Calendar, release of the Gutenberg Bible 1457, massacre of settlers at Jamestown 1622, 3rd night of the Waxing Moon, starting Void of Course in Aries, then entering Taurus 6:40 A.M., overseen by the 1st Decan, Senator, ruled by Mars, starting in the 2nd Mansion of the Moon, Al Botein/Alboitan, good for finding treasure, capturing things, exciting situations, achieving things, then entering the 3rd Mansion of the Moon, Al Thurayya/Alzoraya, good for career support, general good luck, and to help or hinder judicial matters, just before 1:00 A.M., finally entering the 4th Mansion of the Moon, Al Deberan / Aldeberan, good for playing the margins, shaking things up, just before 11:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Sun at 6:57 A.M., and last 60.9 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Jupiter at 7:08 P.M., lasting 59.1 minutes, Sun in Aries Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. This should prove a great day to be social; to the lingering effects of yesterday are added the Moon being conjunct Venus in the late afternoon, as well as being sextile Neptune in the early evening. If it’s a “date night”, you should be able to provide it with some extra zing. One’s magicks continue on a transformative tack. Think about the big picture, and work towards creating more supportive circumstances.

Saturday, March 21, 2015, 2 Hekatombaion, dedicated to the Agathos Daimon, start date of the Baha’i calendar 1844, death of Pocahantas 1617, 2nd night of the Waxing Moon, in Aries, going Void of Course from 6:51 P.M. through the rest of the day, overseen by the 1st Decan, Senator, also ruled by Mars, starting in the 1st Mansion of the Moon, Al Sharatain/Alnath, which is good for dealing with complex systems, regulations, technical matters, then entering the 2nd Mansion of the Moon, Al Botein/Alboitan, good for finding treasure, capturing things, exciting situations, achieving things, just after midnight Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Saturn at 6:58 A.M., and last 60.75 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mars at 7:07 P.M., lasting 59.25 minutes, Sun in Aries Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. The Moon being trine Jupiter retrograde in the morning should give rise to an abundance of optimism, not necessarily well-founded, but it does help us to get through the day. What an active Aries Moon, transiting Uranus morning and Mars in the evening. These two occulations pull the best of those two planets (insight and energy) our way, while avoiding the negatives (revolutionary zeal and aggressiveness). Go forth and be engaging! With the Moon in the 2nd Mansion, it’s a good day to remove hinderances and blockages. Let the magick fly!

Friday, March 20, 2015, 1 Hekatombaion, start of the year in the Athenian Calender, dedicated to one’s personal Deities, the Astronomical Vernal Equinox/Ostara, Napoleon begins his 100 day rule after escaping Elba 1815, birthday of the Roman poet Ovid 43 BCE, day of the New Moon, starting in Pisces, going Void of Course 5:36 A.M. to 6:28 A.M., then entering Aries, first overseen by the 36th Decan, Uiu, ruled by Mars, rulership moving to the first Decan, Senator, also ruled by Mars, starting in the 28th Mansion of the Moon Al Risha Batn/Arrexhe, good for increase, travel, love, then entering the 1st Mansion of the Moon, Al Sharatain/Alnath, which is good for dealing with complex systems, regulations, technical matters 6:28 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Venus at 7:00 A.M., and last 60.5 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mars at 7:06 P.M., lasting 59.5 minutes, Sun starts in Pisces, moves into Aries 6:45 P.M. Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. There’s quite a confluence of the positive aspects of Mars energy today; Aries being ruled by Mars,as well as the first Decan being under the sway of Mars, the Planetary ruler of the evening being likewise, you guessed it, Mars. Combine this with the Moon being trine Saturn retrograde and the Lunar/Solar conjunction (and Solar eclipse), and you have the ingredients for a perfect day to renw and transform your outlook. It’s not a day for navel-gazing. Despite the snow on the Eastern seaboard of the United States, it is a day to get things done, to implement plans to take charge of your future. One’s magicks may be employed to lay out a path tailored to your needs and to replace complacency. Magically, the action of the Sun entering Aries tends to stir things up, with a certain surprising exuberance and lack of restraint, which is reinforced by the first Lunar Mansion being occupied. This is the time to begin the new, or attempt the audacious or unexpected. Ritually, this season allows the promise of renewal and continued survival, which first manifested during Imbolc, to be revealed. Celebrations of the Vernal Equinox take on some of the colors of Imbolc and Beltane, being a latter addition wedged between the two. The proper symbols here are the Sun wheel and the egg, and the madness of Hares in pursuit of love. Senator may be imagined as a strong man of color, clothed in white, and embodies strength and fortitude.

Thursday, March 19, 2015, 29/30 Thargelion, dedicated to Hekate, in Roman rites a feast day for Minerva, the festival being the Quinquartus, Scottish Witchcraft Act enacted 1563, making all charged under it subject to the death penalty, Anne Stuart ascends the throne of the UK 1702, 2nd night of the Dark of the Moon, in Pisces, overseen by the 36th Decan, Uiu, ruled by Mars, starting in the 27th Mansion of the Moon Al Mu’hir/Algorf, good for material gain, health, overcoming enemies, and aid to the desperate, then entering the 28th Mansion of the Moon Al Risha Batn/Arrexhe, good for increase, travel, love, bad for cherished things, around 8:30 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 7:02 A.M., and last 60.25 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 7:05 P.M., lasting 59.75 minutes, Sun in Pisces Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. As we coast into spring, today the influences of yesterday carry through today, with slightly less energy. However, it’s nice to have two days in a row in which one is almost compelled to be creative. With the Moon being sextile Pluto in the morning, expect some angst to enter one’s work. As for one’s magicks, it might be best to utilize them them to add another layer of protection around those you care for.

Wednesday, March 18, 2015, 28 Thargelion, dedicated to Hekate, Caligula declared Emperor 37 AD, Jacques De Molay burned at the stake 1314, traditional date for the founding of Tenochtitlan 1325, 1st night of the Dark of the Moon, starting Void of Course in Aquarius, then entering Pisces, overseen by the 36th Decan, Uiu, ruled by Mars, starting in the 26th Mansion Al Mukdim/Almiquedam, good for love and health, liberation, entering the 27th Mansion of the Moon Al Mu’hir/Algorf, good for material gain, health, overcoming enemies, and aid to the desperate, just before 3:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 7:03 A.M., and last 60.1 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 7:04 P.M., lasting 59.9 minutes, Sun in Pisces Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. Within the tight strictures set up by the Pisces Moon being square Saturn retrograde, the small arena in which we play out our day can provide a snug den within which to work, rather than a restraint. Mercury, the Moon and Neptune are all conjunct each other, which makes this the perfect day to block out distractions and create. It doesn’t hurt that the Moon is also sextile Venus; it acts as a catalyst for one’s creative potential. As for one’s magicks, it’s best to employ them to keep things on an even keel.

Tuesday, March 17, 2015, 27 Thargelion, no particular dedication in the Athenian calendar; in Roman rites both the day of the Liberalia, honoring both Liber Pater, a Roman fertility deity and his consort Libera,; it was also the day when young Roman men took on the toga of adulthood, Julius Ceaser defeats the forces of Pompey at the Battle of Munda 45 BCE, Commodus becomes sole Emporer 180 AD, St Patrick is brought as a slave to Ireland 432, death of Marcus Aurelius 180 AD, of St. Patrick 461, 12th night of the Waning Moon, in Aquarius, going Void of Course from 2:18 P.M. through the rest of the day, overseen by the 36th Decan, Uiu, ruled by Mars, starting in the 25th Mansion of the Moon, Al Alibiya/Caadulhachbia, good for hindering the activities of others, revenge, then entering the 26th Mansion Al Mukdim/Almiquedam, good for love and health, liberation, around 6:30 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 7:05 A.M., and last 59.8 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 7:03 P.M., lasting 60.2 minutes, Sun in Pisces Mercury in Pisces, Venus starts in Aries, moves into Taurus 6:15 A.M., Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. Today primes us to make a big splash (or at least provokes us into wanting to make a big one). The Aquarius Moon is first sextile Uranus and then Mars, which should enable one to get some competent action plans down on paper. The difficulty arises with the Moon being in opposition to Jupiter retrograde, which can quickly turn one’s plans into castles in the air. It also can lead to promising more than one can deliver, thus undercutting one’s position. As for one’s magicks, it’s a good day to clear the underbrush, removing obstacles.

Monday, March 16, 2015, 26 Thargelion, dedicated to Athena, celebrated in the Plynteria, the cleansing of her temples, in Roman rites the first celebration of the Argei, in which sacred and secular State officals went in procession to certain points in the city, from which they gathered small figures woven from plant materials, which were then disposed of in the Tiber, Babylonians capture Jerusalem 597 BCE, 11th night of the Waning Moon, starting in Capricorn, then going Void of Course from4:02 A.M. to 6:13 A.M., then entering Aquarius, overseen by the 36th Decan, Uiu, ruled by Mars, starting in the 24th Mansion of the Moon, Al Sulud/Caaddcohot, good for overcoming those against you, general success, then entering the 25th Mansion of the Moon, Al Alibiya/Caadulhachbia, good for hindering the activities of others, revenge, just after 10:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 7:07 A.M., and last 59.6 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 7:02 P.M., lasting 60.4 minutes, Sun in Pisces Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Aries, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. Today should prove to be a fairly tough as nails day. It’s not so much a matter of of active ill-will as it is cosmic indifference manifesting itself. Things should feel fairly safe within the parts of your life tightly circumscribed by the Moon being sextile Saturn. However, the indifference comes from the Moon being square Venus early in the Morning, as well as Mercury being square Saturn. Don’t expect excuses to cut you any slack, we all have to tough it out, like being on a Marine training course. While the planets might not support underhanded dealings, it’s certainly a day to use one’s magicks to show up the weak-willed among us.

Friday, March 13, 2015, 23 Thargelion, no particular dedication, Sir William Herschel first sees Uranus 1781, Clyde Tombaugh announces the discovery of Pluto 1930, 8th night of the Waning Moon (Last Quarter), in Sagittarius, going Void of Course 7:11 P.M. through the rest of the day, overseen by the 36th Decan, Uiu, ruled by Mars, starting in the 20th Mansion, Al Nalaim/Nahaym, good for compulsion, underhanded dealings, good for travel, then entering the 21st Mansion of the Moon, Al Bal’dah/ Elbelda, good for acquiring material possessions, around 2:30 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Venus at 7:12 A.M., and last 58.9 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mars at 6:59 P.M., lasting 61.1 minutes, Sun in Pisces Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Aries, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius. Today should bring quite a bit of calm pleasure, with the Moon being trine to Mars in the morning and Venus in the evening. It being the Last Quarter, quite a bit of nervous energy or expectation is floating around, looking for a grounding, and the positions of Mars and Venus allow for this to provide satisfaction. One’s magicks may be focused on practical shoirt term results.

Wednesday, March 11, 2015, 21 Thargelion, death of Pharoh Thutmose III 1425 BCE, Goths lay seige to Rome 537 AD, the Great Blizzard hits the Northeastearn U.S. 1888, death of Elagabalus 222 AD, 6th night of the Waning Moon, starting in Scorpio, then going Void of Course from 3:46 P.M. to 7:29 P.M., then entering Sagittarius, first overseen by the 35th Decan, Tepibui, ruled by Jupiter, the oversight moving to the 36th Decan, Uiu, ruled by Mars, around 6:30 A.M., starting in the 18th Mansion of the Moon, Al Kalb/Alkab, good for plots and revenge, then entering the 19th Mansion, Al Shaulah/ Exaula, good for all defensive and aggressive work, just before 9:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 7:15 A.M., and last 58.5 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 6:57 P.M., lasting 61.5 minutes, Sun in Pisces Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Aries, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius. The combination of the Moon being trine the Sun and conjunct Uranus make it easy to have new insights in how to deal with a vexing problem or personal situation, but the Moon also being square Mercury makes this a bad time to share or implement the solution. This doesn’t mean that you can’t get it down on paper, so you can hold onto it as tangible proof to yourself, and which you may use as a template to set things in motion when the time is right. One’s magicks tend toward protecting one’s own assets and positions.

Tuesday, March 10, 2015, 20 Thargelion, no particular dedication, end of the first Punic War with the sinking of the Carthaginian fleet 241 BCE, first meeting of John Dee and Edward Kelly 1582, death of EmperorTiberius 37 AD, of Botanist Rembert Dodoens 1585, 5th night of the Waning Moon, in Scorpio, overseen by the 35th Decan, Tepibui, ruled by Jupiter, the whole of the day in the 18th Mansion of the Moon, Al Kalb/Alkab, good for plots and revenge. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 7:16 A.M., and last 57.9 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 6:55 P.M., lasting 62.1 minutes, Sun in Pisces Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Aries, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius. While I’m not suggesting that we all need to be humble, the combination of the Scorpio Moon being trine Neptune while Jupiter retrograde square Jupiter and trine Mars should have a tendency to make us over-confident. Despite what goes on in some sports programs, everyone is not a winner, all equally deserving of a reward. With all this self-congratulation going around, it will be hard to sort out who actually is doing the work, and who is just padding the resume. Try to just do the work. Magickally, it’s a day which can allow one to plow right though the opposition.

Monday, March 09, 2015, 19 Thargelion, no particular dedication in the Athenian calendar, in Roman ritual a day in which the 12 Salii carried 12 shields, stored in the Temple of Mars (1 of which was said to have fallen from the heavens) through the streets to renew the defense of the city, first recorded observation by Nicholaus Copernicus 1497, 4th night of the Waning Moon, stating Void of Course in Libra, the entering Scorpio 9 :10 A.M., overseen by the 35th Decan, Tepibui, 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 11:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 7:20 A.M., and last 57.75 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 6:53 P.M., lasting 62.25 minutes, Sun in Pisces Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Aries, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius. No exact aspects today, so the sense of discontent engendered yesterday continues, but with less of a hold on our sensibilities. The move into Scorpio has us searching for the means to feel more in control once again, while the move into the 18th Mansion increases the desire to even the score. One’s magicks have a tendency to move towards “teaching a lesion”.

Sunday, March 08, 2015, 18 Thargelion, International Women’s Day (first celebrated 1945), IRS begins to collect taxes 1913, start of the Russian Revolution 1917, start of the Spanish Flu epidemic 1918, 3rd night of the Waning Moon, in Libra, going Void of Course 9:24 P.M. through the rest of the day, overseen by the 35th Decan, Tepibui, ruled by Jupiter, 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, just before 10:30 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Sun at 7:20 A.M., and last 57.75 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Jupiter at 6:53 P.M., lasting 62.25 minutes, Sun in Pisces Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Aries, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius. Today is yet another day this month wherein ones discontents and thwarted desires burble towards the surface, they being stirred by the Moon being in opposition to Uranus and Venus, while square Pluto. It being a Libra Moon, you might think reason would answer your concerns (which impulse is enforced by the Moon being sextile Jupiter trine Mercury), but you would be wrong. It might be best to continue concealing the depths of your despair over your thwarted desire. On the bright side, the magical tides are in our favor to work on provoking a positive reaction in others.

Friday, March 06, 2015, 16 Thargelion, dedicated to Zeus Epikraios (the rain-giver), Edgar Allen Poe removed from West Point 1831, Battle of the Alamo 1836, first Periodic Table presented by Mendeleev 1869, 1st night of the Waning Moon, starting Void of Course in Virgo, then entering Libra 7:52 A.M., overseen by the 35th Decan, Tepibui, ruled by Jupiter, starting in the 14th Mansion (Al Simak); good for promoting love, health, bad for land travel, good for other modes, then passing into the 15th Mansion (Al Ghafar/Algafra); a good time for treasure hunting and sleuthing, causing friction between people, dealing a blow, just before 9:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Venus at 6:23 A.M., and last 57.33 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mars at 5:51 P.M., lasting 62.66 minutes, Sun in Pisces Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Aries, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius. Today is a day of no exact aspects. Sometimes this can be liberating, but such is not the case today. Entropy rules, and so, we will probably address most things with a disaffected shrug, lacking a firm direction. The move into the 15th Mansion makes it easier to disrupt things magickally rather than do anything constructive.

Thursday, March 05, 2015, 15 Thargelion, dedicated to Hekate, also Purim, Emperor Julian begins his attack on the Persian Empire 363 AD, the main astronomical text of Nicolas Copernicus is censored 1616, birthday of Geradus Mercator 1512, night of the Full Moon, in Virgo, the Moon going Void of Course at 1:36 P.M. through the rest of the day, overseen by the 35th Decan, Tepibui, ruled by Jupiter, starting in the 13th Mansion of the Moon, Al Awwa /Alahue, good for aid, comfort, assistance, around 14th Mansion, Al Simak/ Azimech, good for promoting love, health; bad for land travel, good for other modes, just before 5:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 6:24 A.M., and last 57.1 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 5:50 P.M., lasting 62.9 minutes, Sun in Pisces Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Aries, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius. Strong emotions comtinue to be stirred up, especially regarding aspects of one’s life which were less than successful. It’s easy to make a laundry list of the paths not taken and be distracted about them. We could all end up throwing a pity party for one. It might be best to tap into the tides of the 14th Mansion to plant new seeds of hope (or at least forward motion).

Wednesday, March 04, 2015, 14 Thargelion, no particular dedication, King Charles II grants charter to William Penn for Pennsylvania 1681, Church of All Worlds incorporates 1968, birthday of Prine Henry the Navigator 1394, of Casimir Pulaski 1747, 14th night of the Waxing Moon, starting Void of Course in Leo, then entering Virgo 6:58 A.M., overseen by the 35th Decan, Tepibui, ruled by Jupiter, starting in the 12th Mansion of the Moon, Al Sarfah/Acarfal, good for friendship and charitable acts, then entering the 13th Mansion of the Moon, Al Awwa /Alahue, good for aid, comfort, assistance, just before 3:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 6:28 A.M., and last 56.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 5:48 P.M., lasting 63.33 minutes, Sun in Pisces Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Aries, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius. Today fans the flames of one’s desire, without allowing them to find an outlet; this Virgo Moon is a tease. In the Morning, Venus is trine Jupiter retrograde and conjunct Uranus, stirring up the passions, and they are then boxed in later in the day by the Moon being square Saturn and in opposition to Neptune. Try to avoid acting on those obsessions; it’s unlikely you’ll receive the answers you want. Let the energies of the 12th and 13th Mansions assist you in directing that pent up desire to a more forward looking goal.

Tuesday, March 03, 2015, 13 Thargelion, no particular dedication, first tavern in Boston opens 1634, Tsar Alexander frees the Serfs 1861, the discovery of Insulin announced 1921, death of Saladin 1191, 13th night of the Waxing Moon, in Leo, going Void of Course from 3 :47 A.M. through the rest of the day, overseen overseen by the 35th Decan, Tepibui, ruled by Jupiter, 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 9:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 6:28 A.M., and last 56.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 5:48 P.M., lasting 63.33 minutes, Sun in Pisces Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Aries, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius. While the Moon being in opposition to Mercury early in the morning makes communication difficult (and what communication there is being on the annoying side), the more interesting confluence is that of Jupiter retrograde being trine Uranus. This can make for a wonderful day for the solitary artist. Ideas pour our easily, and a frenzy of creation is entirely possible. So, it might be nice to have outside lines of communication cut, as there will be fewer interuputions of the creative flow. There’s time enough to share your work, after it’s completed. As for one’s magicks, it’s another fine day for most all positive work, particularly when hoping to bind those in your orbit closer to you.

Monday, March 02, 2015, 12 Thargelion, no particular dedication, Congress bans the slave trade 1807, Puerto Rico becomes a U.S. territory 1917, birthday of Thomas Bodley English diplomat, his collection being the nucleus of the Bodleian Library in Oxford, 12th night of the Waxing Moon, in Leo, overseen by the 35th Decan, Tepibui, ruled by Jupiter, starting in the 10th Mansion of the Moon, Al Jabhah/Algebhah during the day, good for love and friendship, thwarts criminal activities and evil intentions, moving into the 11th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubrah/Azobra, which is good for reversing negative opinions and judgments, around 10:45 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Moon at 6:29 A.M., and last 56.4 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Venus at 5:46 P.M., lasting 63.6 minutes, Sun in Pisces Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Aries, Mars in Aries, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius. Today holds the potential to be productive and successful. The Moon is trine Saturn and Mars in the morning, which should provide more than enough focus and drivewhile in the evening its trine Venus and Uranus while conjunct Jupiter retrograde. This can lead you to turn on the charm a bit too much regarding those you desire, so try to keep your composure. It’s a good day for most any positive magickal endeavor.
