The Moon is strong in her own sign of Cancer and expresses her nature in its most powerful and unrestrained form here.

“[Saturn] rules profound sciences, and the science of laws and seeking out the causes and roots of things and their effects, and speaking of wonders and understanding deep and secret qualities… When he is in good disposition and in his exaltation, however, he signifies purity, length of life, exaltation, joy, honour, wealth, inheritance, and the transmission of inheritances to sons and nephews.” – Picatrix, translated by John Michael Greer and Christopher Warnock
This election is for Saturn dignified in Aquarius and a dark (or eld of) the Moon. The traditional lore suggests a waning moon is beneficial for such things as invisibility, for reducing the influence of a thing, for malefic magic, or – if we think of the moon as old instead of waning – good for prolonging the effect of things or for long life.

The Sun recently ingressed into his own sign of Leo. Here the Sun expresses itself in its most powerful and unrestrained form. Being at home in Leo, the Sun is relaxed, magnanimous and more likely to listen to petitions.
Mars recently entered his domicile in Aries where he is due to remain until 6 January next year. Part of this time, from 9 September to 13 November, Mars will be retrograde, but we can use his direct movement to make talismans for strength, courage, healing, self-defence and protection, and healing from various kinds of illnesses.
“From the operations of Mercury, they made an image at the hour of Mercury, Mercury ascending in Gemini, the form of which was a handsome young man, bearded, having in his left hand a rod in which a serpent is twined about, in his right carrying a dart, having his feet winged. They report that this image confers knowledge, eloquence, diligence in merchandising and gain; moreover to beget peace and concord, and to cure fevers…” – Henry Cornelius Agrippa. Book 2, Chapter 43, Three Books of Occult Philosophy translated by Joseph H Peterson via his Esoteric Archives.
Mercury recently entered his own sign of Gemini recently and will remain in his sign until the 28th of this month. This is a very good time to make talismans and to do magic to increase business, for gambling and speculation, to improve one’s understanding and intelligence, to magnify one’s ability to learn and study, to develop one’s divinatory and precognitive abilities, or to contact spirits through dreams.
“Under the constellation of Pleiades, they made the image of a little virgin, or the figure of a lamp; it is reported to increase the light of the eyes, to assemble spirits, to raise winds, to reveal secret and hidden things.” – Henry Cornelius Agrippa, Three Books of Occult Philosophy, Book II, Chapter 47 (transl. Joseph H. Peterson)
The Pleiades are a combination of seven stars in the shoulder of the bull in the Taurus constellation. In traditional astrological magic, the Pleiades are associated with the uncovering of secrets, with magic, with clairvoyance and the ability to summon and see spirits.

This is a rather pleasant (well, about a pleasant as Saturn is likely to get) election to create a Saturn talisman. Saturn is never going to be an easy planet to deal with, but it is my experience that Saturn in Aquarius is a little easier to manage than Saturn in Capricorn.
