Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Jupiter at 6:10 P.M., lasting 65.1 minutes, Sun in Libra, Mercury retrograde in Libra, Venus in Libra, Mars in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. A day set up for flights of fancy. While the last few days should have progressed well, the combination of the Moon trine Pluto and square Neptune retrograde could lead to some interesting flights of fancy, projecting one’s desires along a path the is most satisfying to oneself. Reveries devoted to the fulfillment of one’s desires can be informative; don’t depend on the being an actual blueprint laying out what is to come. As for one’s magicks, this is another day in which one may bring aid and comfort.

Saturday, October 18, 2014, 25 Gamelion, no particular dedication, Mason Dixon Line agreed on 1767, first use of the term cock-tail for a drink, in a New York bar, 1776, U.S takes possession of Alaska 1867, death of Thomas Edison 1931, 8th night of the Waning Moon, starting in Leo, then going Void of Course from9:10 A.M. until 7:07 P.M., then entering Virgo, 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 7:30 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Saturn at 7:10 A.M., and last 55.1 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mercury at 6:12 P.M., lasting 63.9 minutes, Sun in Libra, Mercury retrograde in Libra, Venus in Libra, Mars in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Three good days in a row! While the Moon is square Saturn, this serves as more of a demarcation of the playing field, rather than a limitation per se. the rest of the early morning activity consists of the Moon being sextile the Sun, Mercury (retrograde) and Venus, while trine Saturn. This should bring plenty of joy, contentment and ease. I know, what did we do to desrve this ? Magickally, it’s a day for most all positive work.

Friday, October 17, 2014, 24 Gamelion,no particular dedication, King Cyrus release the Jews from captivity in Babylon 539 BCE, Torquemada made Inquisitor General 1483, Cornwallis defeated at Yorktown 1781, Albert Einstein arrives in the U.S. 1933, birthday of Jerry Siegel (Superman) 1914, 7th night of the Waning Moon, in Leo, overseen by the 21st Decan, Senta, ruled by Jupiter, the whole of the day in the 11th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubrah/Azobra, which is good for reversing negative opinions and judgments. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 7:08 A.M., and last 55.4 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 6:13 P.M., lasting 63.6 minutes, Sun in Libra, Mercury retrograde in Libra, Venus in Libra, Mars in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Yes, we now have two days in a row where one’s talents and abilities can shine; Mercury is still retrograde, of course, but has not been terribly disruptive. It’s conjunct Venus this afternoon, which should bring welcome contact with old friends and the like. Being retrograde, you might read more into their reappearance than is actually the case, but it’s nice to have them back. In the evening, our Leo Moon is conjunct Jupiter, which should make us all the life of the party. But seriously, this should be a day which allows our better natures to come through, and to be appreciated. One’s magicks can be employed to add some additional glamour to one’s activities.

Thursday, October 16, 2014, 23 Gamelion, no particular dedication, Ether first used as an anesthetic in dentistry 1846, John Brown leads unsuccessful raid at Harper’s Ferry 1859, 1st birth control clinic opens (in Brooklyn) 1916, birthday of Oscar Wilde 1854, beheading of Marie Antoinette 1793, hanging of many of the convicted at the Nuremberg War Crimes trial 1946, 6th night of the Waning Moon, starting Void of Course in Cancer, then entering Leo 6:29 A.M., overseen by the 21st Decan, Senta, ruled by Jupiter, starting in the 10th Mansion of the Moon, Al Jabhah/Algebhah good for love and friendship, thwarting criminal activities and evil intentions, then entering the 11th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubrah/Azobra, which is good for reversing negative opinions and judgments, around 11:00 P.M.

Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 6:15 P.M., lasting 63.33 minutes, Sun in Libra, Mercury retrograde in Libra, Venus in Libra, Mars in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Yesterday’s thwarted ambitions today turn into opportunity. While there are usually breakdowns in communication when Mercury is retrograde, its occurrence while in Libra seems to be more a time for fact-checking than absolute disruption. Such is the case today, particularly in the evening, when the Sun is conjunct Mercury and Mercury is sextile Mars. It should be possible to engage in productive conversations that actually go somewhere. You may also climb out of the bunker and employ your magicks to improve the direction of events in your life.

Wednesday, October 15, 2014, 22 Gamelion, no particular dedication in the Athenian calendar, in Roman rites a horse sacrifice was made to Mars, as well as the day being dedicated to Jupiter,many Catholic countries switch from the Julian to the Georgian calender, which involved a shift of ten days, 1582, Napoleon begins his exile 1815, birthday of Virgil 70 BCE, of Mughal Emperor Akbar 1542, 5th night of the Waning Moon (Last Quarter), in Cancer, going Void of Course 7:27 P.M. through the rest of the day, overseen by the 21st Decan, Senta, ruled by Jupiter, starting in the 9th Mansion of the Moon Al Tarf/ Atarf, good for baneful and destructive forms of magic, then entering the 10th Mansion of the Moon, Al Jabhah/Algebhah good for love and friendship, thwarting criminal activities and evil intentions, around 9:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 7:06 A.M., and last 55.8 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 6:17 P.M., lasting 63.2 minutes, Sun in Libra, Mercury retrograde in Libra, Venus in Libra, Mars in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Things are mostly frozen in place today, and there is a tendency towards a certain cold, clinical reaction to situations. Last quarter Moons can be tricky, concerned more with what has not happened than what did, or could. While there’s great enterpirse in the air today, provided by the Sun being sexile Mars early in the morning, this forward motion is impeded by the Moon being square Venus, the Sun (naturally) and finally Mercury retrograde in the early evening. If you don’t manifest great desire, you should be able to get through the day. Otherwise, it’s a day of petty frustrations. This all makes it so tempting to strike out magickally. The same caveats appy as did yesterday, at least until the Moon moves into the 10th Mansion. The power is there to say “screw it” and lash out at impediments, but this could cause an avalance rather than clear a path.

Tuesday, October 14, 2014, 21 Gamelion, no particular dedication in the Athenian calendar, in Roman rites a day dedicated to the Di Penantes, the guardian spirits of the home, anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, the Normans conquer England 1066, Robert the Bruce defeats the English army, keeping Scotland independent 1322, Boston Tea Party 1773, 4th night of the Waning Moon, in Cancer, overseen by the 21st Decan, Senta, ruled by Jupiter, 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 7:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 7:05 A.M., and last 56.1 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 6:18 P.M., lasting 62.9 minutes, Sun in Libra, Mercury retrograde in Libra, Venus in Libra, Mars in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Scorpio. Hopefully, the storms of yesterday have passed overhead, leaving you relatively unscathed (and if you were one of those on the offensive yesterday, shame on you). Today changes the pitch, as the dominant influence is Jupiter being sextile Venus, which has us all seeking love and admiration. At the same time, Neptune and Uranus weigh in, the Moon being trine one and square the other (and both are still retrograde). This can lead to drunk texting, or at least attempts to connect with lost loves (or at least love interests). As we all have learned, the passage of time usually doesn’t reanimate a dead relationship, but do as you like. The Lunar move into the 9th Mansion brings with it a sense of entitlement; combined with the rule of Mars in the day, and Saturn in the evening, it will be difficult to engage in magickal work that doesn’t have a commanding and compelling aspect to it. I find it’s best to direct your efforts to the overthrow of tyrants on days like this, rather than engaging in work concerning those nearer to you. The 21st Decan, Senta, is seen as a man riding a donkey, or a man preceded by a naked man and followed by one carrying bread and wine, and denotes an indulgence in the desires of the flesh.
