Astrological timing

Remember that in each of these operations, if we can work with conscious intent and create a sacred space to work from, the more effective the end result will be. We also want to keep within astrological timings favorable to the plant as much as we are able. 

It has been said that if you wait for the right astrological time to do your working you would be waiting for ever, and that any time should be satisfactory, for it is the operator s Will that is of importance. On the one hand I agree wholeheartedly with this, and on the other hand I do not. It all depends again on what you are doing and, most importantly, what your psyche needs. One could go on for quite some time on the pros and cons of specifics, so I leave the decision... 

In any magical work such as divination, talismatic consecration and even curses and spells, the operator must be very exact in what he requires the magical force to do. He should think very clearly of the purpose, analyse by association the herb needed, utilise the correct astrological time for picking and using, then utilise the herb for the purpose desired. The whole aspect is a very analytical one, with very little time or place for rather vague associations to plants and herbs. 

After you understand the Sun, the Moon, and the planets, you have the basics down. In this part, I apply that information in two ways. In Chapter 19,1 reveal the planetary components of ten different talents. And in Chapter 20, which addresses the fine art of astrological timing, I tell you when to throw a party, when to launch a business, when to buy a computer, even when to get married — by the stars. 

That s what astrological timing is about. It isn t about fate. It s about using the stars to maximum advantage.

I put no particular stock in astrology, but I noted that Dennis is a Sagittarius and Ev a Capricorn. I consulted my star... 

The number seven is considered one of the most magical numbers. It plays an important part in the creation in the Enuma Elish and in the Bible. It is because of these creation stories that there are seven days in the week and the world is still said to have seven continents and seven seas. How this number came to be so important has to do with the sky. The Babylonians and their predecessors spent a lot of time observing the sky for messages from the gods, called omens. This practice led to the development of astrology and the discovery of the seven planets.
