The Sun's energy is warm and direct, uncomplicated and masculine.
Unlike the quarterly motion of the Moon, the Sun changes phases several times each day and gives the practitioner unlimited opportunities for immediate spellwork.
Even better, the Sun's wide range of properties can be used to handle almost any magical effort normally aided by the Moon.
Sunrise (Young Lord/Newborn Sun): Sunrise provides a good time for efforts involving beginnings, change, and cleansing. It's also beneficial to work that relates to new employment, love, or direction in life. Matters that involve renewing hope and trust, good health, or even mending a broken heart can also benefit from this energy.
Morning (Young Lord/Adolescent): During the morning hours, the energy of the Sun becomes strong and active, so projects that require building, growth, or expansion benefit during this phase. It also provides the perfect energy for expanding upon the positive aspects in your life, resolving situations where courage is necessary, or adding warmth and harmony to your home and relationships. Use it, too, for financial increase or plant magic.
Noon (Horned One/Greenman): The power of the Sun peaks at high noon. That makes it a good time for work pertaining to mental ability, health, and physical energy. It's also great for charging crystals and stones, or metal ritual tools such as athames, censors, and cauldrons.
Afternoon (Father): As the Sun descends, its energy becomes more receptive in nature. For this reason, use it for efforts involving professionalism, business matters, communications, and clarity. It's also beneficial to matters of discovery, exploration, or travel.
Sunset (Ancient One): This is the time to work on anything that requires reduction or alleviation. Try it for removing stress, anxiety, confusion, hardship and depression, the disclosure of deception, and dieting.
