On the bright side, you may be able to keep such a conversation to specifics, which will lead to a positive outcome. Magically, a day to reorder/influence the priorities of others to better suit you.

Sun in Cancer, Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Venus in Leo, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Certainly, most relationships are generally a work in progress. Today is one of those days where a dialogue is possible, but nothing will be settled.Uranus in opposition to the Moon stirs up some of those hypothetical starter questions which have no safe answer (gentlemen, you know particularly what sort of questions I’m talking about). While Venus is well aspected today, the Moon being Square a retrograde Mercury makes any meaningful advance impossible. As usual in the 1st quarter, there is a stalemate between the forces of desire and action. Just do the best you can, without getting too worked up. Magically, a day for mending fences, creating linkages.

Sunday, July 14, 2013, 7 Boedromion, dedicated to Apollo the Rescuer, 7th night of the Waxing Moon, starting Void of Course in Virgo, then entering Libra 3 :41 A.M., starting in the 14th Mansion, Al Simak/Azimech; good for promoting love, health; bad for land travel, good for other modes, then entering the 15th Mansion of the Moon Al Ghafar/Algafra, good for uncovering/getting to the bottom of things, around 5:00 A.M.

Sun in Cancer, Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Venus in Leo, Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. A day for excessive behavior and acting out, swinging from manic to excessive, in both one’s interior as well as exterior life. This behavior, stimulated by the Moon being square Mars, Jupiter and Pluto, could be even more excessive, except for the tempering effects of this Libra Moon. Magically, a day for achieving effects all out of proportion to the effort put in. Have a care to use the lightest of touches.

Friday, July 12, 2013, 5 Boedromion, the day the Athenians honored their war dead, 5th night of the Waxing Moon, in Virgo, 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, around 1:00 A.M.

Sun in Cancer, Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Venus in Leo, Mars in Gemini, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Finally, a good day to get things done, with the Virgo Moon sextile both Saturn and Jupiter, particularly when dealing with one’s business or trade. Try not to get too far ahead of the curve however, as the Moon being in opposition to a retrograde Neptune, and Mercury itself being retrograde can allow one to show (or appear to show) a certain selfishness. Magically, a day for most any positive work, especially for others.

Thursday, July 11th, 2013, 4 Boedromion, dedicated to Hermes, Aphrodite, Eros 4th night of the Waxing Moon, starting in Leo, then going Void of Course from 3:54 P.M. to 6:11 P.M., then entering Leo, 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 A.M.

Sun in Cancer, Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Venus in Leo, Mars in Gemini, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. Today has a lead up to much hustle and bustle, energized by Mars going sextile the Moon mid-afternoon. Whether it amounts to much of anything is hard to gauge, what with Mercury being retrograde in Cancer. Most of this energy may be directed to repeating oneself, or dealing, once again, with things you believed to be settled. Magically, a day for strengthing connections.
