SAA 08 480. Full Moon on 14th Day, Scorpius in Lunar Halo (RMA 143) [planetary, lunar]
(1) [If] on the 14th day the moon and sun [are s]een together: reliable speech; the land will become happy; the gods will remember Akkad favorably. (4) If the moon and sun are in opposition: the king of the land will widen his understanding; the foundation of the king's throne will become stable. (7) If the moon is surrounded by a halo, and Scorpius stands in it: entu-priestesses will be made pregnant; men, variant: lions, will begin to rage and block the road. (r 2) From Nabû-ahhe-iddin.
