In Hyatt's HCWR at pp. 1914-1930 is an interesting interview with informant 1445 from Fayetteville, North Carolina, entitled "She Observes the Astro'mical Signs". "If yo' wanta use a man's photograph, as well as ah kin undahstan', yo' take dis photograph. Fust find de signs, astro'mical signs. Yo know we have twelve signs an' dose signs have sevens days in de month-yo's a man, see. Yo ketch dis sign whilst it in dis man's brain, if yo' want to change his mind fo' any purpose. If de sign is on de han' today, well yo cain't do no business -not until dat sign come back nex' week till de nex one come..." The informant then goes on to say, "Well yo' couldn't take no day tuh work it on no man except de sign was on dat day." Hyatt then asks "The day you work it, you have to have the sign for that day? You have to have the sign for that day and you draw that sign on the photograph?" The informant answers, "Dat's right" Under Time and Hoodoo Spell Hyatt also has a section for use of the Zodiac and Moon. Of course these are very simplified methods of astrological timing. If you only rely on one or two factors you may not really be helping yourself that much. If I had to pick just one factor is would be Moon phases. In traditional (pre-1700) European astrology and philosophy the Moon rules over the generation and corruption of all things here on Earth and connects the sublunary with the celestial spheres. I wouldn't chose Moon in Libra for a love spell as the Moon is weak as she is peregrine there, not being in her sign, exaltation or any other dignity. Venus in Libra or Taurus, definitely. Really what's necessary is to look at many, many astrological factors for a particular time. In addition, you really need to look at the natal (birth) charts of the parties involved. This question inspired me to add a page to my website. If you want a good date and time for a love spell, to start a permanent relationship or get married check out: http://www.renaissanceastrology.com/marriageelectionexample.html This is an almost classic marriage (i.e. 7th house as opposed to a love affair, 5th house) election. I recommend it highly. Venus is strong, Mars is strong, the Moon is strong and they're all making applying trines from good houses. Take advantage of it because this is unusual.
