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”.
