After the bit Saturnian kickoff on the 5th, a quieter week doesn’t sound like a bad idea at all.

Sunday, January 6 — For gain and winning

This day has both the sun and moon in Capricorn and might be a good day to make sure you make good on any promises you made for the new moon yesterday. Sometimes consecutive days align neatly to create opportunities for longer magic/ritual. This weekend is like that. This is the first full week of the new year, it’s a good time to start as you would continue.

Thursday, January 10th — For beneficial judgments

It’s a Thursday with Saturn in Sagittarius, which will be auspicious for most of the rest of the year. In addition, the moon is in Pisces. If you have performance reviews or are angling for a promotion (or are embroiled in a legal matter of any kind) this is the day to get the stars to align in your favor. Hour 10 is good for everything, but hour 24 (right before dawn on Friday) is specifically for the decision of a tribunal. So set your alarm early.

Saturday, January 12 — For finding treasures in the earth

Among other things, Saturn is associated with buried treasure and with both he and the Sun in Capricorn, this would be a good day for building your own treasures. Hour 6 is specifically for finding treasure so everyone who’s looking at earning, saving, and growing wealth this coming year could benefit from this day.

The following week is also reasonably quiet, but those of you looking for love this year should mark January 20th down for magic to make yourself more appealing. More on that in a future Week in Magic.
