WOTC Quiz: What Type of Psychic are You?

What Type of Psychic are You?

Everyone has four psychic senses, and you can learn to focus on psychic reception areas to enhance all of your psychic abilities. But as you become more adept at the process you will find that one or two of your four psychic senses are dominant–easier and more reliable for you to use.

It is important to know which psychic senses are your best channels for your intuition. Over time you can rely on them to help you keep your bearings. Find out which of the four psychic senses are your special gifts, here:

Know Your Psychic Strengths: Four Types

Gut Feeling: Feelers
Psychic feeling is the most accessible. It is the easiest to open to and to interpret. The hallmarks are “gut” feelings, and uneasy physical feelings that often give you a sense of something not being right, or being right.

All people, places, and objects constantly radiate vibrational patterns, and your physical body is like a large antenna able to register and assimilate their meaning as inner feelings.

Focal Point: In the front of the body, from the top of the diaphragm to just below the naval (the third chakra).

Knowing: Prophetics
The sense of “knowing” is very fleeting, but once you get the message the awareness of the truth is deep and unwavering.

Men and women high in psychic knowing function at an accelerated pace. They are excellent anticipators of problems or difficulties, and they naturally sense how to be at the right place at the right time. They are innovators with limitless creativity.

Focal Point: The crown and top of head (seventh chakra). The insight comes down from the crown into the center of the head to the nerve bundle that connects the two hemispheres of the brain.

Hearing: Audients
Psychic hearing manifests as words, phrases, and inner dialogue. You might even hear a song that gives you a message. Or a warning that comes with words.

People good in psychic hearing can hear when someone is lying to them, and they are good, uncomplicated and direct initiators.

Focal Point: Both sides of the head, just above the ears, in the area of the temporal lobes.

Seeing: Visionary
Seeing messages visually, such as a date, or someone’s energy field. With your eyes shut, your visual awareness shifts upward to your forehead.

Visionaries can often “see” when something is not right, and know what is wrong. They are excellent planners and have a very good sense of time and space.

Focal Point: The third eye.

Astronomy Picture of the Day – The North America and Pelican Nebulas

Astronomy Picture of the Day

The North America and Pelican Nebulas

Explanation: Here lie familiar shapes in unfamiliar locations. On the left is an emission nebula cataloged as NGC 7000, famous partly because it resembles our fair planet’s continent of North America. The emission region to the right of theNorth America Nebula is IC 5070, also known for its suggestive outlines as the Pelican Nebula. Separated by a dark cloud of obscuring dust, the two bright nebulae are about 1,500 light-years away. At that distance, the 4 degree wide field of view spans 100 light-years. This spectacular cosmic portrait combines narrow band images to highlight bright ionization fronts with fine details of dark, dusty forms in silhouette. Emission from atomic hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen is captured in the narrow band image in scientifically assigned colors. These nebulae can be seen with binoculars from a dark location.

Earth Sky News for June 14: Moon and Spica

Moon and Spica on June 14

Tonight – June 14, 2016 – the moon couples up with Spica, the brightest star in the constellation Virgo the Maiden.

No matter where you live worldwide, look first for the moon. The star closest to it on the sky’s dome will be Spica. You might also notice two very bright “stars” nearby. One is Jupiter and one is the red planet, Mars. The moon will be moving toward Mars in the coming few evenings. See a chart showing these planets, below.

Spica ranks as a first-magnitude star; in other words, it’s one of our sky’s brightest stars. But the glare from tonight’s waxing gibbous moon might make Spica look meek this evening. It might be easier to view the planet Saturn and the star Antares in the southeast at nightfall because they’re farther than Spica is from the moonlit glare. And it’ll be hard to miss the evening’s brightest planet, Jupiter, lighting up the western sky on these June evenings. Mars is nearly as bright as Jupiter, and it’s noticeably reddish in color.

Throughout the night, from everyplace worldwide, the moon, planets and stars will go westward across the sky. They go westward throughout the night for the same reason that the sun goes westward during the day. The Earth spins from west-to-east on its rotational axis, causing all these heavenly bodies to appear to travel from east-to-west every day. This apparent daily movement caused by the Earth’s rotation is called diurnal motion.

If you watch the moon from day to day, you can detect its true orbital motion around our planet. Over the course for the next several days, you’ll see the moon moving away Spica, and toward the brilliant planet Mars.

As always, the moon goes full circle in front of the backdrop stars of the zodiac in a little less than one calendar month.

The moon will meet up with the star Spica again on July 11, 2016.

Bottom line: The June 14, 2016 moon is near the star Spica on the sky’s dome and the moon is heading toward the red planet Mars.
