Jupiter’s Energy

Just In Case….

We disappear, blame it on our “Gig Certified Network.” We are having a down pour of rain and it is running slower than a damn snail. I am typing and a few seconds later, what I typed shows up. It has been off-line more than it has been on-line and the whole damn thing sucks. Sorry, but I generally do all of this about 4 or 5 in the morning. We decided we were going to start getting things done earlier. Well guess what? It hasn’t happened for the last few days because their wonderful “Gig Certified Network” is off line.

 
There I feel better I got to bitch and I guarantee you I have done a lot of it to the ISP. So if we disappear it is our wonderful provider working like a dream, HA!

The Sky This Week for January 19 to 22

Dedicated to raysmith42..The Sky This Week for January 19 to 22

 

By Richard Talcott

Thursday, January 19

•  Last Quarter Moon occurs at 5:13 p.m. EST. The Moon doesn’t rise until nearly 1 a.m. local time tomorrow morning, however, by which time it will appear slightly less than half-lit. The Moon spends the morning hours on the border between Virgo and Libra.

•  Mercury reaches the peak of its current apparition this morning. The innermost planet lies 24° west of the Sun at 5 a.m. EST and appears 10° above the southeastern horizon 30 minutes before sunrise. Shining at magnitude –0.2, it shows up nicely through the twilight glow. (If you don’t spot it right away, binoculars will bring it into view.) A telescope reveals Mercury’s 7″-diameter disk, which appears slightly more than half-lit.

Friday, January 20

•  One of the sky’s most familiar constellations rules January’s sky from dusk until the early morning hours. Orion the Hunter appears conspicuous in the southeast after darkness falls and climbs highest in the south around 9 p.m. local time. It then stands about halfway to the zenith from mid-northern latitudes. The night sky’s brightest star, Sirius, trails about an hour behind Orion.

•  Jupiter passes 4° due north of 1st-magnitude Spica, the brightest star in Virgo the Maiden. The brilliant planet shines nearly 20 times brighter than the star.

Saturday, January 21

•  Although Saturn passed on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth in December, it already appears low in the southeast before morning twilight commences. From mid-northern latitudes, the ringed planet lies about 10° above the horizon at the start of twilight. It shines at magnitude 0.5, which makes it the brightest point of light in its host constellation, Ophiuchus the Serpent-bearer.

•  The Moon reaches apogee, the farthest point in its orbit around Earth, at 7:14 p.m. EST. It then lies 251,602 miles (404,914 kilometers) from Earth’s center.

Sunday, January 22

•  Two of the finest deep-sky objects shine prominently on evenings during January. The Pleiades and Hyades star clusters appear highest in the south in early evening but remain conspicuous until well past midnight. The Pleiades, also known at the Seven Sisters and M45, looks like a small dipper to naked eyes. The larger Hyades forms the V-shaped head of Taurus the Bull. Although both look nice with naked eyes, binoculars show them best.

Wishing All Our Brothers & Sisters A Very Beautiful & Blessed Thursday!

witchcraftSong Of The White Witch Of The  Gospel

 

Shatter my misconceptions, Oh God, the Father,
Creator of all that is moving through me,
Empty me of illusions that comfort,
So, the truth I may surely see.

And, I will transcend my limitations,
Build bridges of light to fill the gaps,
Share the love I have here deep inside me,
Walk across uncharted paths.

Transform the sorrow of unfulfillment,
By illuminating the untouched choice,
Empower the forgotten shadowed memory,
Electrify my silent voice.

And, I will transcend my limitations,
Build bridges of light to fill the gaps,
Share the love I have here deep inside me,
Walk across uncharted paths.

Connect me to Earth’s bounteous Mother,
So, each other, in balance, shall we heal,
Transmute my intent into your wisest crystals,
That this work my soul reveal.

And, I will transcend my limitations,
Build bridges of light to fill the gaps,
Share the love I have here deep inside me,
Walk across uncharted paths.

Remember me when I cross over,
I have lived my life as you, too, have done,
Return me to that precious place,
No longer separated, for we all indeed are one.

For, I have transcended my limitations,
Built bridges of light to fill the gaps,
Shared the love I had here deep inside me,
Walked across uncharted paths.
