Astronomy Picture of the Day – Saturn at Opposition

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

2015 May 29

Saturn at Opposition
Image Credit & Copyright: Christopher Go

Explanation: Telescopic observers on Earth have been treated to spectacular views of Saturn lately as the ringed planet reached its 2015 opposition on May 23 at 0200 UT. Of course opposition means opposite the Sun in Earth’s sky. So near opposition Saturn is up all night, at its closest and brightest for the year. These sharp images taken within hours of the Sun-Earth-Saturn alignment also show the strong brightening of Saturn’s rings known as the opposition surge or the Seeliger Effect. Directly illuminated, the ring’s icy particles cast no shadows and strongly backscatter sunlight toward planet Earth, creating the dramatic surge in brightness. Saturn currently stands in the sky not far from bright Antares, alpha star of the constellation Scorpius.

Daily Planet Tracker: Venus in Cancer, Now Until June 5

 

Planet Tracker

Venus in Cancer

Now Until Jun 5, 2015

Venus is a planet of sensitivity and affection. Its entry into the sign of Cancer marks a period of potentially greater intimacy and relationship-building for those willing to feel their deepest needs and share them with others. Venus in Cancer reminds us that love is a great nurturing force, one that binds relationships by the care that we give to one another.

We’re all likely to be more aware of the level of approval and acceptance we’re receiving now. This can enrich our connections with others as subtle patterns of emotional give and take become more apparent. However, it’s also possible that objectivity may suffer as vulnerability and uncertainty surface.

Venus in Cancer has a purity of feeling that puts us in touch with primal needs. Patterns of early childhood may become more evident for those able to step back and see themselves clearly. Others, though, may descend into infantile habits of petulance, withdrawal and denial of self-responsibility. The trick is to reach back in time to see the stream of development that has brought you to this point in your relationships without staying in the past. Cancer, at its best, connects the past with the present.

Water signs, like Cancer, work more from instinct than intellect. Verbal communication, then, may not be sufficiently expressive to match feelings. Venus in Cancer is a time when love and relationships move far beyond words. This is a period in which subtle signals count a great deal. Be alert to what is not being said, if you want to deepen your understanding of those close to you.

Cancer can be a highly nationalistic sign, so it’s no surprise that leaders like Fidel Castro, Yasser Arafat, Menachem Begin and the elder George Bush were all born with Venus here.

Tipper Gore, another person in this category, reflects the protective maternal instincts of Venus in Cancer. Actors need to be able to share their feelings to effectively ply their craft. Ben Affleck, Dustin Hoffman and the incomparable Meryl Streep were all born with Venus in Cancer. Other members of this group include singers Stevie Nicks and Jerry Garcia, comic Steve Martin and Camilla Parker Bowles.

Your Charm for Friday, May 29th is Aries the Ram

Your Charm for Today

Aries the Ram

Today’s Meaning:
This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is adventurous, energetic, pioneering, courageous, enthusiastic, confident, dynamic and quick-witted. This person is probably someone you already know and respect.

General Description:
First sign of the Zodiac, March 21st to April 20th. Mars the ruling planet, and Iron the correct metal. Those born under the influence of Aries were supposed to be brave, ambitious, optimistic, confident, and fond of adventure. The Aries gems are the Diamond, Jasper, and blood stone. The Diamond was always regarded with much veneration in olden times, and was worn to make its wearer bold and daring. Napoleon Bonaparte had the celebrated Regent or Pitt Diamond (136 carats, valued at about 500,000 lbs) set in the hilt of his sword. At one time it was believed that the wearing of very large diamonds brought ill-luck and misfortune on the wearer.

Shuffling the Cards, Your Past, Present & Future Reading for May 29th

Shuffling the Cards, Your Past, Present & Future Reading for Today

 

Past Influence whose impact on your life is waning.

The Tree

The Tree symbolizes spiritual health and growth. The healthy tree is rooted in a rich, nurturing medium, has a strong trunk from which leaf laden branches fan out to capture the sun’s energy. The Tree represents a healthy spirit entrenched in experience and strengthened by wisdom. It is a spirit that is happy with itself, but continues reaching to become even wiser, more complete, happier, stronger. While The Tree represents a strong and independent spirit, it is also a life-force that owes much of its strength and growth to being surrounded by other healthy spirits.

 

Present Influence whose impact on your life is very strong.

The Sword

The Sword is a a call to action. It indicates challenges are before you and to attain your goals you will have to address them. The Sword does not suggest rash or underhanded behavior on your part. Indeed, while actions indicated by The Sword are decisive, they are based on the power of your wisdom and ethics. The strength of The Sword lies in the moral purity of your actions.

 

Future influence whose impact on your life is growing and will be very strong in the future.

Mars

Mars represents those qualities we commonly associate with the male/yang persona. Mars traits include raw energy, ambition, aggression, confidence, passion, and a sense of adventure. The occurrence of Mars denotes the dominating presence or need of the qualities listed above. Martian influence may have a negative impact unless it is balanced with an influence that can blunt the brashness and impulsiveness of Mars.

 

Your Ancient Symbol Card for May 29th is The Moon

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

The Moon

Although men have stepped upon the moon and scientists have analyzed it almost endlessly, there remains in our collective unconscious a vision of the moon that shrouds it in mystery. And why wouldn’t there be? Being earth’s closest neighbor, having a clear influence on many of earth’s cycles and constantly changing in appearance, it is only fitting that our ancestors endlessly pondered and speculated on our magnificent moon’s powers. The Moon represents the pure feminine nature and the gateway to understanding the mystical world that cannot be explained by science. Its soft glow provides a gentle light in the darkness of night. Metaphorically, the powers associated with the moon supply the seeker with a light to explore the mystical aspects of our world. It empowers the sense of wonder in those open to psychic adventures.

As a daily card, The Moon is indicative of a time when your feminine side and connection to the spiritual world is very strong. Essentially you are “tuned in” spiritually which makes this an ideal time for you to investigate your place in our mystical world.

Your Daily Witches Rune for May 29th is The Birds

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for May 29th is The High Priestess

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for Today

The High Priestess



The completely feminine counterpart to The Magician, the High Priestess is the Gatekeeper of the subconscious, the unknown. She travels in worlds which most of us only glimpse in our dreams. Her realm is that of unseen truths, untapped potentials, and hidden dangers. The Calling of The High Priestess is to go beyond the obvious and visible to tap those powers which are veiled from normal vision. While she is passive by nature, she has the power to uncover unknown potential and is very aware of the infinite potential all humans harbor within them. She is also very patient. She can wait for events to blossom in their own time.

bw-mannazbw-mannazYour Rune For Today
Mannaz

Now is the time for you to explore your inner self and those of others. Your intelligence and creativity are very well honed at the moment. Cooperation from and with others should be very easy to attain.

Additional information about Today’s Rune, Mannaz

mannaz : man, humankind

Phonetic equivalent: m

DIVINATORY MEANINGS: significator, self, family, community, relationships, social concerns

MAGICAL USES:  to represent a specific person or group of people; to establish social relationships

ASSOCIATED MYTHS & DEITIES: Ask and Embla, Midgard

ANALYSIS:  In its broadest sense, mannaz represents all of humanity, and therefore the entire realm of Midgard.  In more practical terms, it is those with whom we have personal connections, from our immediate circle of family and friends to the wider community around us, reminding us of our nature as social animals.  It also represents our connection with the Gods (Ymir), and with nature (the two trees).  It takes the raw energy of ehwaz and controls it through our social conscience, reminding us of those we affect with our deeds both magical and mundane.

The rune itself resembles gyfu with its joining of masculine and feminine elements, but is much more complete.  It is the entire web of human relationships, with the self at the centre, which mirrors the web of fate explored through raiðo.  But while that web joined was more or less fixed, this one is mutable and alive.  Past and present, male and female, self and other – all opposites are joined here and made whole.  Mannaz is our home, and speaks for all those whose lives we touch when we use the gifts we have been given through the runes.

Your Daily Tarot Card for Friday, May 29th is The Chariot

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

The Chariot



The Chariot is the representation of Victory and the personality traits required to attain victory. The Chariot indicates self-awareness and control. Courage—the ability to overcome fear and confront the unknown head on–is a primary ingredient of any victorious campaign and is denoted by the Chariot. So too is force of will. Often success is as much the product of will power and a refusal to surrender as it is anything else. The Chariot also represents the healthy personality of someone who believes in themselves; someone who can take control of the situation and bring events to a positive end. His successes come in competition with others.

Your Horoscopes for Saturday, May 30th

 

Aries 

Today is strong for discovering new interests or reviving old ones, dear Aries. Ideas that come to you now, particularly about areas ruled by the third house (learning, mental interests, communication, neighbors, connections, and siblings), can be especially important, as they may very well kickstart a long-term interest or pursuit. There can be helpful conversations today about the past or about previously tricky topics. Your advice to someone can be sought and appreciated. You could benefit greatly from looking back at recent ideas or decisions now, as there is new perspective and energy available for doing so. As rational as the day feels, you’re also strongly intuitive now. Friends or networking can be helpful and possibly catalysts for ideas birthed now.

Taurus

When it comes to money, business, valuables, talents, and personal possessions, pay special attention to ideas coming in today and this week, dear Taurus, whether they come from within yourself or from information circling around you. Looking to the past for answers makes sense now, and can even be profitable for some of you! For example, money that you had written off could now come in. There is new, fertile energy with you for reviewing old problems and coming at things from a fresh perspective. Not everything is likely to make sense, as is often the case with new beginnings, but what comes out of conversations and thoughts today can be significant later. You are projecting a lot of warmth and love on a public or professional level today, and this can benefit you greatly.

Gemini

This can be a great day for making a review of sorts, dear Gemini, of recent decisions and ideas. Observations made now can lead to new ideas, improvements, or other developments that you could put into action later. It’s a time for taking stock and thinking about changes you’d like to make. The New Moon in your sign on June 16th will launch an especially good period for implementing your ideas. Even so, today is an important part of the process. What you communicate today has more impact than usual with Mercury in your sign and conjunct the Sun. People are hearing you, but not necessarily seeing the whole picture, so it’s important to be clear and mindful about what you’re saying and writing. Opinions and beliefs heard now can be inspiring.

Cancer

You can be very busy with your memories these days, dear Cancer, and you may be coming to some important conclusions. Ideas can come to you from within, from dreams, and from impressions, but information you come across today can be significant when it comes to letting go of bad attitudes or situations. There could be a secret revealed, a eureka moment, or you could otherwise be seeing old problems or a past matter in a very revealing new light. Discoveries can be rich now, and others supportive. The Moon’s move into your playful solar fifth house today brings out a more expressive side of you. It’s a good time for letting your inner child roam free.

Leo

You can be especially sensitive to what’s going on around you and to what’s said today, dear Leo, with your ruler, the Sun, in alignment with retrograde Mercury. What you communicate has a little more impact than usual, making it important to be mindful of how and what you’re saying/writing. A partner and/or friends can be giving you important feedback, but you’re also gathering valuable information from or through them now. It’s a powerful time for processing, reviewing, and rediscovering old interests, decisions, and ideas. Ideas coming from this period can be significant ones for you in the long term. A friend from the past may reappear in your life, or you could come to a new understanding of an old friendship. Interactions today are encouraging and possibly quite fruitful.

Virgo

This is a strong time for reviewing recent business projects, decisions, or ideas, dear Virgo. Alternatively, thinking about life direction and long-term goals in new ways can be fruitful now, and can also lead to significant new ideas. You could come to a significant conclusion about your next move, or about certain directions your life is taking. There is considerably more impact or punch to what and how you communicate today, so be extra choosy when it comes to your words, manner, and even whether or not to make a statement or observation right now. Work and health matters can benefit from a review or even a brainstorming session now. Think in terms of recycling or reviving old projects or ideas. The Moon moves into your communications sector today, and this brings a busier pace. This position tends to stimulate your curiosity.

Libra

The Moon leaves your sign this morning, Libra, and this tends to settle your emotions. Emotional needs feel less urgent, and this allows you to focus on other concerns. This is an important idea day for you, although a significant idea begun now is likely in a rather raw state. Pay more attention to what information comes in to you now, but also from your own musings. Thoughts might turn to the past, or to recent decisions and plans, but you’re looking at things in a very new light. This can be very helpful. The conversations you engage in now can be inspiring, especially interesting, and possibly quite enlightening. There is no need to force anything – just let your mind go. Children, a romantic partner, or friend can be especially considerate or encouraging now.

Scorpio

There can be wonderful energy with you for delving into your own psychology, intimate thoughts, and feelings, dear Scorpio. You can be quite self-absorbed, but in the good sense of the word, as you could be making some important discoveries now. Conversations about intimate or taboo matters can be helpful and particularly creative. Loved ones may be a little more open and considerate than usual. You could be coming to important conclusions, or gaining clues, to a mystery or other investigation now. New insight into an old relationship or into your own psyche can be helpful and enlightening. The Moon enters your sign this morning, reawakening emotions or emotional needs that you’ve recently set aside.

Sagittarius 

Illumination about a relationship matter can occur around now, dear Sagittarius, and it’s about looking at something (or someone) from the past in a new way. You won’t have all the facts or answers right now, but this is a time for some serious rethinking of matters. Today is strong for opening up conversations, particularly about the past, as there is more consideration for both sides of a situation. These conversations, whether about or with a significant other, can be important ones, even if you don’t yet see their significance. Counseling and advice can be in focus and helpful. The Moon moves into your privacy zone today, signaling the need for rest and emotional recuperation.

Capricorn

There can be a real desire to put everything into order today, and especially your thoughts, dear Capricorn. You can also feel the need to help or support others with information you’ve gathered for them, or with your own advice. Watch, however, for pressure to do things or to come to a conclusion too quickly. Let intuition work for you. Do take the time to consider problems, as you’re inclined now to come at them from a new angle and this can be very helpful. You might gain important insight into a work or health issue. Ideas born now can have significance later. This is also a fine time for dreaming up marketing strategies.

Aquarius

This can be a day of creative inspiration, dear Aquarius, and you might experience an epiphany of sorts about a creative or romantic matter. Reviewing old ideas can lead to a positive recycling experience, as new methods can come to light, which can be very important in the months to come. You are especially receptive to the advances of others and this openness can bring new opportunities into your life. This might also have to do with new “old” opportunities, as someone from your past could reappear and an old issue might be wrapped up or clarified. Whether this happens in the flesh or in your mind, it’s helpful and serves a good purpose. There is strong energy today for showing others you care.

Pisces

There is a strong inclination today to analyze, sort, and make sense of matters from the past, dear Pisces, particularly with (or about) family. In some respects, this is the case for the whole week. Try not to push for answers, but do some gentle exploration now, as ideas that come out of your conversations and reminiscing now can in fact be significant later – possibly even defining. Your communications, and what others are expressing as well, have more punch than usual. As such, it’s important to be mindful of what you’re saying, but also to let intuition in. This is a good day for releasing a problem through conversation with someone you trust.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, May 29th

 

Aries 

You may be taking special interest in a project, idea, or topic today, dear Aries, particularly one that you may have toyed with or begun in the past but for whatever reason left unfinished. It’s a powerful time for researching, learning, sharing, or teaching, and networking can be especially fruitful, stimulating ideas or reinvigorating your motivation levels. This is also a strong time for connecting with a partner. You tend to love pioneering your way through life, and frequently do things independently, but today, the benefits of a friend, partner, or support system becomes obvious.

Taurus

After a rather hazy and possibly lazy early day, dear Taurus, your motivation and dedication builds. It can be a powerful time for discovering information you may have missed in the past, particularly related to finances, and for some, you might find a lost object or discover a resource that you never knew you had. You are especially resourceful now. You might be in an advantageous position at work or otherwise be “in the know”. The key today is to look at things in a new way, and to concentrate on those things that truly matter to you.

Gemini

Your mind is super sharp today and tomorrow, dear Gemini, and these days are powerful for generating significant ideas, strategies, and goals. You’re seeing things that you completely overlooked before, or that were hidden from you. You’re also seeing those things that are less than obvious, and you can find a lot of benefit in learning these things. Some of you could find a lost object. You might thoroughly enjoy investigation and research today, and resolving a conflict or solving a mystery can be especially satisfying now.

Cancer

You have been especially imaginative in recent days, dear Cancer, but today, you’re especially able to channel this creative energy into something productive. You are particularly insightful about matters of the past, things that are hidden from sight, and areas of your own psyche that may have been holding you back from enjoying yourself. Seeing an old problem in a new way can be liberating on some level today. Others may be supportive or allow you the space to come to your important conclusions.

Leo

This can be a day in which others seek your guidance, advice, or support, dear Leo, and you’re especially happy sharing your ideas and generous with your time. There can be wonderful inspiration or more practical help for your work through friends or networks right now, and a conversation or bit of news can inspire you to reinvigorate an old project that has strong potential for following through as well as for success. Pay special attention to information coming in and to your instincts.

Virgo

This can be an especially fertile time for work, business, and other practical ideas, dear Virgo, and also strong for research into techniques for managing your health and wellness. Mercury’s retrograde is enabling a new perspective on old problems, projects, and approaches, particularly related to work and long-term goals. Today and tomorrow, you’re especially creative, imaginative, and eager to discover unique ways to manage your life better. You could be giving someone a needed pep talk or offering practical support. This is a strong day for insights and discoveries that truly help and empower you.

Libra

The Moon continues to transit your sign all day, dear Libra, and you’re attracting some nice attention your way. You’re also inclined to take things a little more personally right now. Today, people are especially interested in your conversation, ideas, and opinions, and you may be leading the way in some manner amongst friends and associates. This can be a good day for looking at past ideas and projects in a new way. You are more resourceful than usual, and could easily gather inspiration from people in your life.

Scorpio

Today and tomorrow are particularly strong days for mental insights, dear Scorpio, and these mostly revolve around your personal life, intimate relationship with yourself, awareness of your fears, addictions, and attachments, and dependencies on others. Your vision of these things can suddenly improve, and ideas and strategies for better managing your life and dealing with problem areas can come to you in a wonderful flash now. There can be a renewed feeling of affection with a family member today, and the sharing of helpful ideas and support.

Sagittarius 

This is a strong day for coming together with others, dear Sagittarius, and making agreements. There is a feeling of being on the same page with a significant someone, and wonderful new insights into finances and home life. Through a conversation, you might come to new conclusions about old, nagging problems, and arrive at good, solid strategies for better dealing with your life. It’s a strong time for getting to the very core of a problem, and for seeing things you missed in the past, but that are vital to seeing the complete picture.

Capricorn

While the day can get off to a hazy start, as it advances, you can be feeling especially motivated and energized mentally, dear Capricorn. You are ready to take on almost anything now, and ideas for work or health are especially fertile now. You might solve a mystery or find the final piece of an old puzzle or problem. There can be a lot of satisfaction in offering your practical support, largely through information or your skills. Strategies for increasing your income may come to you now.

Aquarius

Today and tomorrow are strong for coming to a new perspective about a matter revolving around the fifth house, dear Aquarius, which can be about a child, a creative project, a romance, or a hobby. Your mind is especially fertile, and you’re in a good position to help others, particularly younger people, with your advice or information, or in a mentor capacity. You may be nurturing others through your words now. Your thinking is also strong for seeing resources that you’ve overlooked in the past. Drawing upon your natural talents comes easily and is appreciated by others today.

Pisces

This can be a strong time for rethinking home and family affairs, dear Pisces, and coming to new strategies to improve things. It’s also a good time for sharing personal thoughts and memories with people you trust. You may be working especially well with a group or team, or with a fiend, towards a common goal or cause. You could renew an interest in an old project or return to something you’ve left unfinished. There is generally good judgment with you today, particularly when it comes to opportunities. You may very well find new meaning and purpose in something you’re doing now. There is a good sense of when to take the lead and when to let others do so.

 

An Overview of Your Weekend Love Horoscope for May 29 – 31

 

Weekend Love Horoscope

May 29-31: Mostly Cloudy

It doesn’t really matter what the Moon is doing this weekend because the planet Neptune will overwhelm each of us with his nebulous fog. On Friday, the Moon will be in relationship-oriented Libra, but she won’t exactly be at peace. Adding to the mix will be a square between communication planet Mercury to Neptune. Mercury is also retrograde. Ouch! Conversations in love will not only be misleading, but you might feel like you keep repeating your words to deaf ears.

Then, on Saturday the Moon enters Scorpio, but is overshadowed by a square between the Sun and Neptune which is exact on Sunday morning. You might feel extra intensity in the emotional department, but you’ll also feel confused — as if you can’t trust what you feel. Second guessing yourself in matters of the heart will be par for the course this weekend. Be gentle with yourself and remember; the Sun is always behind the clouds.

This Weekend’s Romantic Rating*

Heart ratings are based on the lunar cycle. They range from low to full, with low indicating a rocky weekend for romance and full indicating plenty of passionate potential.
