The Planetary Influence Of Uranus

  

The planet seventh in order from the sun, Uranus rules everything done toward advancement, research, inventions, telepathy, radio, aviation, photography, occultism, electronics, and any concentrated mental effort directed toward new ideas and projects.
Called the Great Awakener, Uranus works in sudden ways, breaking rules and demolishing established patterns or structures, creating sudden-even radical-change. This influence can provide the inspiration needed to fulfill those long dormant dreams which have been pushed further and further away by the daily effort of just to get through the routine of working, eating, sleeping.

Listen to these verses from Dryden's imitation of Horace, hear the words with your heart,
"Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own,
He who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have lived today."

Uranus gives a strong impulse for rebellion, independence, and even shock. Exciting and liberating, Uranus will overturn anything traditional, conventional or orthodox that it deems has outlived its usefulness.

Invocation to the sun, according to the magical treatise Agrusadapariksay,
"Thou art the Sun! Thou art the Eye of Brahma, the Eye of Vishnu, the Eye of Siva: In the morning, at noon, and at night. More precious than anything else, thou art a Jewel of Jewels, priceless watcher over all, hanging in the sky. This is thy power: fertilizer of life, yardstick of Time itself, of days, nights, weeks, years, seasons - all Time. Of all the planets thou art the leader, the most high. Destroyer of darkness, power extending over uncounted millions of miles, golden chariot of the universe, accept my adoration!"

Planetary Hours Guide



The astrological day begins at the moment of local sunrise and the first hour is ruled by the planet which rules the day. Succeeding hours are ruled by the planets in a definite order ~ Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon. Thus, Sunday's first hour from sunrise is ruled by the Sun, the second by Venus, the third by Mercury, etc...
Avail yourself of the planetary influences whenever possible. The ultimate in astrological assistance would be to begin a love spell on Friday (ruled by Venus) at the 1st, 8th, 15th, or 22nd hour after sunrise (since all these hours are ruled by Venus). If Venus' day, Friday is impracticable, start the spell at any other day's Venus hour ~ for instance, on Wednesday at the 7th, 14th or 21st hour after sunrise.
