Thursday, September 12, 2013, 8 Maimakterion, dedicated to Poseidon, 8th night of the Waxing Moon, in Sagittarius, going Void of Course from 1:08 P.M. through the rest of the day, 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 7:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 6:33 A.M., and last 63.1 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 7:11 P.M., lasting 56.9 minutes. Sun in Virgo, Mercury in Libra, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Leo, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. You know the routine with the Moon squaring the Sun, it being the first quarter today. As usual, it’s a time we look back on our recent accomplishments, and generally feel that things haven’t quite gone as planned (when do they ever). Best to ignore that nagging Debbie Downer voice in the back of your head, and go on with your life, rather than navel-gazing. Magically, a day for money drawing.

The Moon is also sextile Mars today, which lends one’s activities a great deal of energy. A perfect day for land grabs, or running through a flea market, seeking treasures. Magically, a day for working through barriers, jump-starting projects.

Thursday, September 05, 2013, 1 Maimakterion, dedicated to one’s personal Deities, in the Roman calender dedicated to Jupiter Stator, New Moon in Virgo, starting in the 13th Mansion of the Moon, Al Awwa/Alahue, good for aid, comfort, assistance, then entering the 14th Mansion, Al Simak/ Azimech, good for promoting love, health; bad for land travel, good for other modes, around 3 :00 P.M.

Sun in Virgo, Mercury in Virgo, Venus in Libra, Mars in Leo, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio. This should just be a fabulous day, being a New Moon (so the Moon is conjunct the Sun, naturally), and Jupiter is sextile the Moon, making this a perfect day for most any endeavor. Just as a side note, it’s the first time Rosh Hashanah has started on a New Moon in awhile. Magically, a perfect day to commence most any positive work.

Not a lot of room for flights of fancy, or going off script. Magically, a day for repaying debts of honor, returning favors.
