Tuesday, June 22, 2010, 12 Hekatombaion, dedicated to Kronos, for his support of growing crops, Waxing Moon, 3rd Day after First Quarter, Moon in Scorpio; enters 19th Mansion (21 degrees Scorpio), Al Shaulah/Exaula, good for all defensive and aggressive work. Planetary Hours of the Day commence with Mars, Night begins with Saturn. Mercury in Gemini, Venus in Leo, Mars in Virgo (Ruler of the Day), Jupiter in Aries, Saturn in Virgo, all Direct.


This is a day reserved for any of the nastier sendings, continuing the “attitude” of the Solstice, or may be used for other aggressive work to be launched, especially during the Mars and Saturn hours of the Day and Night. With the Moon squaring Venus, breaking others up is easy to do. Definitely a day you need to have your guard up, and your wits about you.



Under the Angel Camael/Samael(He who Sees God)whose sigil is pictured above; according to some sources, he manifests as a leopard, and was the Angel who wrestled with Jacob. Tends to bring pestilence and destruction, and is indicated on some amulets as the Angel of Death. As Samael, he will also instruct you in the occult arts, if invoked at Midnight, and give knowledge of your own guardian spirit as Camael. The Character, as given in the Grimoire of Armadel is the same as that of Phalec. These associations have been ignored in most of the “New Age” speculations dealing with Angels. Other systems assign this day to Michael

New Cover layout

Here is an updated layout for the front cover (the type will probably be gold, the particular chroma of blue is still up in the air. After an afternoon of research, I think i will be publishing this by my lonesone. Quite a career change!

Astrologically, this is an aggressive entry into this quarter, fueling (depending on your viewpoint) demolition, active reconstruction, plans being moved forward and pushed through without regard for others, self-directed and self-centered. Pick any Ayn Rand hero as a template.Planetary Hours of the Day commence with the Moon, Night begins with Venus. Mercury in Gemini, Venus in Leo, Mars in Virgo, Jupiter in Aries, Saturn in Virgo, all Direct.Under the Angel Gabriel (God is my Strength); he Angel of the Annunciation; brings things to light. Everyone seems to be in agreement on this correspondence, and he is the Watcher of the South. The Grimoire of Armadel associates him with the Olympic spirit Phul (which makes sense, also being associated with Monday)
