Saturn hours for Vancouver, in PST

Sunrise in Vancouver is 7:09 a.m. PST and sunset is 4:42 p.m. PST on November 7, with sunrise the next morning at 7:11 a.m. PST. Day hours are about 48 minutes each and night hours are about 72 minutes each, so they are not fixed 60 minute hours. The first hour after sunrise belongs to Saturn, and the hours then follow the Chaldean order Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, repeating, following Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy for the planetary hours method.

Saturn hours on Saturday, November 7, PST: 7:09 to 7:56 a.m., 12:43 to 1:31 p.m., 7:06 to 8:19 p.m., and 3:33 to 4:46 a.m. on Sunday morning.

Today the Moon leaves Al-Zubana behind in the early morning, crossing into the 17th mansion, Al-Iklil, the Crown, at about 6:30 a.m. PST, and stays there for the rest of the day, crossing into Scorpio at 2:39 p.m. while still in the Crown. In the Arabic tradition of the Mansions of the Moon, Al-Iklil runs from 25 degrees 42 minutes Libra to 8 degrees 34 minutes Scorpio. Agrippa lists it in the Three Books of Occult Philosophy, Book II, chapter 33: it bettereth a bad fortune, maketh love durable, strengtheneth buildings, and helpeth seamen.

Picatrix note, labelled as Picatrix: the Picatrix gives the 28 Mansions of the Moon their own chapter, Book I, chapter 4, on making images in the mansions, so today's crossing into Al-Iklil is a Picatrix timing a practitioner can actually use, in a Saturn hour. No new Picatrix talisman election is claimed for today beyond the Mansion crossing itself. The next larger timing to watch is the New Moon tomorrow night, November 8, in Scorpio.

Saturday is Saturn's day, and the Moon is void of course through the morning and midday, so this is not a day to start a new venture and hope it holds. It is a day to mend what has gone wrong and make it stand firm. Mercury is retrograde, so this is not a day to launch a new message into the world and hope it lands. Venus, still retrograde, stands close to the Moon before dawn, very low in the east, which suits a quiet mending made before the day gets loud.

Magical use today

In a Saturn hour, mend one bad fortune. Take one thing that has gone wrong: a household matter left broken, a promise gone thin, a debt of fortune still unpaid. Write the fault plainly, in a few short lines: what broke, what is owed, and what mending you require. Then do the mending itself: repair the thing by hand, pay the sum, or renew the promise in writing and seal it. That concrete act is the work, made under a waning Moon in Al-Iklil, the mansion that bettereth a bad fortune, in Saturn's hour, on Saturn's day. Do it in the daytime Saturn hour, 12:43 to 1:31 p.m., or the evening Saturn hour, 7:06 to 8:19 p.m.

A caution from the same mansion: Agrippa says Al-Iklil makes love durable and strengthens buildings, so keep the work to mending what already stands. Do not begin a new love working or a new money working under a retrograde Venus in this mansion, and do not start anything new while the Moon is void of course. The mending is the work, and the rest waits for the New Moon.

A light general note: if the morning feels thin and grey, keep the mending short, and let the evening stay quiet.

System used: tropical Western, with the Arabic Mansions labelled as Arabic tradition, and the Picatrix note labelled as Picatrix.
