Sunday, January 06, 2013, 25 Anthesterion, no particular dedication, 9th night of the Waning Moon, starting Void of Course in Libra, then entering Scorpio 1:09 A.M, starting in the 17th Mansion of the Moon, Al Iklil/Alichil, good for positive work on plans and situations already in motion, and for establishing new, powerful connections, then entering the 18th Mansion of the Moon, Al Kalb/Alkab, good for plots and revenge, around 5:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with the Sun at 7:20 A.M., and last 46.8 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Jupiter at 4:42 P.M., lasting 73.2 minutes. Sun in Capricorn, Mercury in Capricorn, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, Saturn in Scorpio. A modicum of self-control is always the best course, but more so today, as the Moon moves into Scorpio, priming the pump by suaring Mars, which tends to put one on a hair trigger. That being said, it’s a grat day to settle scores and take prisoners. Don’t stand too close to anyone else in line or jostle others-unless you mean to. The confluence of Mercury, Saturn and the Moon make it quite a day for revenge. Magically, use a light hand today, as a magnifying effect is in force today.

Saturday, January 05, 2013, 24 Anthesterion, no particular dedication, 8th night of the Waning Moon, in Libra, going Void of Course from 6:13 P.M. through the rest of the Day, starting in the 16th Mansion of the Moon, Al Zubana/Azubene, then moving into the 17th Mansion, Al Iklil/Alichil, good for things already in motion, as well as establishing life-long connections, around 7:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Saturn at 7:20 A.M., and last 46.75 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mercury at 4:41 P.M., lasting 73.25 minutes. Sun in Capricorn, Mercury in Capricorn, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, Saturn in Scorpio. A more graceful day than yesterday, thanks to Venus being sextile to the Libra Moon today. As it is not in an exalted position, don’t expect for a wave of love to sweep the country, merely that it will be less contentious than yesterday. Magically, a day to deal with coping, enduring.

Friday, January 04, 2013, 23 Anthesterion, dedicated to Zeus Melichios, the well-disposed, a chthonic form of Zeus which manifests as a snake, to whom were offered honey cakes in the form of animals (animal crackers will suffice), 7th night of the Waning Moon, in Libra, starting in the 15th Mansion (Al Ghafar/Algafra); a good day for treasure hunting and sleuthing, causing friction between people, dealing a blow, entering the 16th Mansion, Al Zubana/Azubene, good for dealing with hindrances and reversals, around 9:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Venus at 7:20 A.M., and last 46.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Mars at 4:40 P.M., lasting 73.33 minutes. Sun in Capricorn, Mercury in Capricorn, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, Saturn in Scorpio. Mars, Jupiter and the Moon are all trine to each other, which lends great effect to one’s jockeying for prestige and notice, without breaking out the sharp elbows. The notice you desire will come by action, not by blowing one’s own horn (and it won’t do to complain to others how you are underappreciated, as the Moon is also square Mercury today, so everyone’s fretting over imagined slights). Magically, a day for influencing others to show their true colors and intentions.

Thursday, January 03, 2013, 22 Anthesterion, no particular dedication, 6th night of the Waning Moon, starting in Virgo, then going Void of Course from 7:11 A.M. to 8:10 P.M.,then entering Libra, 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 10:00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Jupiter at 7:20 A.M., and last 46.66 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Moon at 4:40 P.M., lasting 73.33 minutes. Sun in Capricorn, Mercury in Capricorn, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, Saturn in Scorpio. A day of inappropriate questions all around, in the guise of solicitude, thanks to the Moon squaring Venus and Mercury squaring Uranus. This can be overcome by thinking before one speaks (and we all know what percentage of the population engages in that behavior). Magically, a day for casting oil on troubled waters, mediating.

Wednesday, January 2, 2013, 21 Anthesterion, no particular dedication, 5th night of the Waning Moon, in Virgo, starting in the 12th Mansion of the Moon, Al Sarfah/Acarfal, good for friendship and charitable acts, around 7:00 A.M., finally entering the 13th Mansion of the Moon, Al Awwa/Alahue, good for aid, comfort, assistance, around 1:00 A.M., finally entering the 14th Mansion, Al Simak/Azimech; good for promoting love, health; bad for land travel, good for other modes, around 10 :00 P.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mercury at 7:20 A.M., and last 46.6 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with the Sun at 4:39 P.M., lasting 73.4 minutes. Sun in Capricorn, Mercury in Capricorn, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, Saturn in Scorpio. A fine revved up day, with plentry of potential for forward movement; the only downside is that Jupiter is still retrograde, in Gemini, which can persuade one to expect things that are better than they are, and so, be a bit profligate with one’s resources. This hinderance fades the end of the month. Magically, a day for most anything except money drawing.

Tuesday, January 01, 2013, 20 Anthesterion, no particular dedication, 4th night of the Waning Moon, starting Void of Course in Leo, then entering Virgo 12:53 P.M., 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 3:00 A.M. Planetary Hours of the Day begin with Mars at 7:20 A.M., and last 46.5 minutes. Planetary Hours of the Night commence with Saturn at 4:38 P.M., lasting 73.5 minutes. Sun in Capricorn, Mercury in Capricorn, Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Aquarius, Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, Saturn in Scorpio. A day for plotting, scheming, planning, or just woolgathering, Mercury rules the head today. If your’e not too hung over, this is an ideal time for long-term planning. That being said, don’t put anything into immdeiate effect, as the Moon in opposition to Uranus, tends to promote some fairly outre thinking. Magically, another day for doing for others, lending aid.
