How often you see it
This minute comes around once a day, in the middle of the night: the calculation, which spreads your glances between 7 am and 11 pm, says nothing about it. If you see it often, it's a time when you're awake: it's up to you to decide what it's telling you.

And the angel of 23:23?
In Lazare Lenain's table (1823), each of the 72 spirits rules twenty minutes of the day, starting at midnight. 23:23 falls in slot 71 of 72, from 23:20 to 23:40.

What you can do with it
Treat it as a one-second pause: what are you doing right now? And if you want a number of your own, your personal day changes every morning.
