Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 7:49 P.M., lasting 50.66 minutes, Sun in Taurus, Mercury in Taurus, Venus in Gemini, Mars in Taurus, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. Well, we trade the Moon being square Saturn yesterday with it being square Venus late in the afternoon, so don’t expect many pats on the back, or gold stars. This makes this another day to just suck it up and proceed forward, aided by the strength provided by the Moon also being trine Mars. As a relief from the rigors of the day, you might tap into the creative channels opened by the Sun being sextile Neptune after 7:00 P.M. one’s magick can continue along the same track they have these last few days, most positive work being supported.

Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 6:06 A.M., and last 68 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 7:42 P.M., lasting 52 minutes, Sun in Taurus, Mercury in Taurus, Venus in Gemini, Mars in Taurus, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. Today continues off the pleasant romp yesterday provided, with the Moon being sextile the Sun and trine Neptune, providing us with a well-spring of new ideas and a light heart to implement them. Have a care to not run too far ahead of circumstances. In the late evening, the Moon’s passage into the 9th Mansion can make us all a bit too confident in our opinions (rather like the possession of the One Ring). The temptation in one’s magicks is towards commanding and compelling.

Thursday, April 09, 2015, 21 Hekatombaion, dedicated to Artemis, Septimus Severus becomes Emperor 193 AD, General Lee surrenders at Appomattox Court Hourse 1865, birthday of Tamerlane 1336, death of Francis Bacon 1626, 5th night of the Waning Moon, in Sagittarius, going Void of Course from 1:42 P.M. through the rest of the day, overseen by the 2nd Decan, Senacher, ruled by the Sun, 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 8:00 A.M.

Well, we may not know what to do with ourselves today, circumstances being so changed. Possibilities abound, impediments should fall, talents should manifest. We might even feel better about our circumstances. All this is thanks to a grand cavalcade formed by the Moon being trine, in order, Jupiter, Uranus, Mercury and finally the Sun. go forth and do your best. One’s magicks take a more mundane tack, allowing for assisting in one’s material concerns and creature comforts.

Friday, April 03, 2015, 15 Hekatombaion, no particular dedication, Good Friday, 1st night of Passover, death of Jesse James 1882, 15th night of the Waxing Moon, starting Void of Course in Virgo, then entering Libra 3:07 A.M., overseen by the 2nd Decan, Senacher, ruled by the Sun, starting in the 14th Mansion (Al Simak); good for promoting love, health, bad for land travel, good for other modes, then passing into the 15th Mansion (Al Ghafar/Algafra); a good time for treasure hunting and sleuthing, causing friction between people, dealing a blow, 5:07 A.M.

Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mars at 7:21 P.M., lasting 56.33 minutes, Sun in Aries Mercury in Aries, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Taurus, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. Duty still rules over us all, with the Moon going sextile to Saturn just before 1:00 P.M. it’s possible for quite a few tasks to pile up, without sufficient imput to accomplish them, as the Moon falls in opposition to Mercury just before 6:00 P.M. filling in the gaps with improvisation will not save the day; just find some satisfaction in what has been accomplished. If a person or institution is blocking your forward progress, one’s magicks may be employed today to return the favor, or cut them dowm to size.

Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 7:20 P.M., lasting 56.50 minutes, Sun in Aries Mercury in Aries, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Taurus, Jupiter retrograde in Leo, Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius. Today should provide a more positive focus than the last few. We start with the Moon being trine Venus just before it goes Void of Course, which should allowed for a more settled set of emotions to rule the day. This is combined with Mercury trine Saturn retrograde, which should allow for clear directions being given in one’s business life, while in the afternoon the Sun is trine Jupiter retrograde, which should bring a certain level of contentment and satisfaction. These improvements will likely be incremental, rather than dramatic, but on the whole ttoday belongs in the plus column. One’s magicks can be utilized to fan the embers of hope.

One’s magicks should be similarly directed; it’s a good day to trim away nonsense.
