“Saturn, Please grant us the Serenity to accept the things we can not change,
The Courage to change the things we can,
And the wisdom to know the Difference.”
Intro:It’s the Day of Helios and hour of Mercury, I’m Rev Dev and your listening to Selene’s Gateway: Morning Edition
Hym of the Day: We’re once again sticking to the Thomas Taylor Translations of the Orphic Hymn for today as we sing the praise of the Sun and it goes as follows.
Hear, golden Titan, whose eternal eye
With matchless sight illumines all the sky.
Native, unwearied in diffusing light,
And to all eyes the object of delight:
Lord of the Seasons, beaming light from far,
Sonorous, dancing in thy four-yok’d car.
With thy right hand the source of morning light,
And with thy left the father of the night.
Agile and vig’rous, venerable Sun,
Fiery and bright around the heav’ns you run,
Foe to the wicked, but the good man’s guide,
O’er all his steps propitious you preside.
With various-sounding golden lyre ‘tis thine
To fill the world with harmony divine.
Father of ages, guide of prosp’rous deeds,
The world’s commander, borne by lucid steeds.
Immortal Jove, flute-playing, bearing light,
Source of existence, pure and fiery bright;
Bearer of fruit, almighty lord of years,
Agile and warm, whom ev’ry power reveres.
Bright eye, that round the world incessant flies,
Doom’d with fair fulgid rays to set and rise;
Dispensing justice, lover of the stream,
The world’s great master, and o’er all supreme.
Faithful defender, and the eye of right,
Of steeds the ruler, and of life the light:
With sounding whip four fiery steeds you guide,
When in the glittering car of day you ride,
Propitious on these mystic labours shine,
And bless thy suppliants with a life divine.
The Tides for the day are as follows:
The First tide was a low tide at 5:27 AM
The Second Tide as the first high tide for the day peaks at 8:30 AM
The next Low tide bottoms out at 6:21 pm
The Last High tide will peak at about 10:29 pm
As always the tide times are the same for each times zone and don’t need to be adjusted for Zone because they’re relative to where the Moon is in your area.
The Shadow Hour for the Day time is from 6:30 pm till nightfall and will be felt strongest by those with the lunar nodes in Leo or the Sun co present with the nodes.
The Shadow Hour for the Night time is from 11:56 pm till 1:06 am
This time will be felt strongest by those with the Nodes in Libra or Taurus or with Venus copresent the Nodes
As always these are great hours to work on remediation and to simply observe the frustrations that may occur.

For the Transit of the day:
5/5/26 Tuesday:
Moon: ☾ into ♑︎ (12:06 pm), ☾ ♑︎ □ ♆ ♈︎
Mercury: ☿ ♉︎ □ ♇ ♒︎ (3:08 pm)
Mercury is about communication, the magick of words, numbers, and images. The impressions we leave on others and take into ourselves. Mercury helps us through all of life’s transitions and is the divine messengers from all realms
Pluto brings the necessary things to the surface. The cycles don’t always have to be ruptures or patterns of drastic transformation but if Pluto goes unwatched or its messages get ignored then breakthroughs may happen when they are least invited. Because the western mind sees darkness as evil then it tends to hide from the topics that could be the most healing and transformative for us as a collective. This also means that actual corruption and corrosion gets to mask or shield itself and uses things like Sexuality, Death, and Fear as ways to distract or mask it’s presence among us. Like fear of the wolf in the forest instead of the one in sheeps clothing.
The Tarot Card for the Day: The Wheel of Fortune
KeyWords: Destiny, Fortune, Success, Luck, Felicity, Increase, abundance, and Superfluity
On the Journey of Oz and Wonderland we get the catalyst for the whole Alice in Wonderland story, the White rabbit surrounded by the clocks that vex him so much.
Here’s from the author: Keywords: Fate, Destiny, Time, Mystery, Chance, Curiosity, Luck, Fortune, Cycles, Divine Timing, Karma
“Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she hadd never before seen a rabbit with a watch, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit hole under the hedge.”
The White Rabbit, ever-tardy, dashed through the forest, late for the Mad Hatters tea party at 2 o’clock. He tripped but swiftly recovered. A curious little girl by the river watched as he continued to scurry away.
The White Rabbit symbolizes embracing new experiences amid uncertainty. Trust in the universes timing and have faith that the opportunities, even the mad ones, contribute to personal growth.
When in reverse the white rabbit signifies fear of change and a need for control, leading to anxiety and stagnation. Embrace change as it is an inevitable part of life’s karmic flow.
As always We’ll wrap up just as we had begun as a way to close the circle.
“Saturn, please grant us the serenity to accept the things we can not change,
The Courage to change the things we can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.”
May the fire inside guide you
