Of course the Lagoon nebula is also known as M8, the eighth object listed in Charles Messier’s famous catalog of bright nebulae and star clusters. Close on the sky but slightly fainter than M8, this complex of nebulae was left out of Messier’s list though. It contains obscuring dust, striking red emission and blue reflection nebulae of star-forming region NGC 6559 at right. Like M8, NGC 6559 is located about 5,000 light-years away along the edge of a large molecular cloud. At that distance, this telescopic frame nearly 3 full moons wide would span about 130 light-years.
After 10:45 AM EDT today (7:45 AM PDT) there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The Moon is in Scorpio. (4:45 PM CEST)
Even though you have high energy today, and you’re enthusiastic about starting something – go gently. You might overwhelm someone. Incidentally, this could work the other way: you might attract someone to you who is super enthusiastic about something!
You have a lot of energy to work today. In fact, you’re so enthusiastic, you will probably start to delegate and give orders to others. Easy does it because they might resent this. Ideally, you will work best if you are on your own.
Today you need to be physically active, which is why physical, outdoor sports will appeal. If these activities are competitive – so much the better because you’re keen to win! This energy can also be channeled into working with kids. Romantically, you might initiate something exciting and different! Woot!
A parent or older family member might have something to say today. Of course, you have strong views as well. Use your skilful means to work in cooperation with others to make improvements at home. This can be done if you don’t try to run things. Easy does it.
You are super enthusiastic today, which is why you will easily inspire others to do your bidding. This is a great day for teachers, salespeople or anyone who wants to convince or persuade others to agree with their ideas. Spontaneous short trips will delight. You definitely have something to say!
You’re full of moneymaking ideas that you might want to initiate today. If these are new ideas, wait until Mercury retrograde is over. (Be smart.) Nevertheless, you can still generate enthusiasm and excitement for your plans. You’re ready to work hard to earn money today – and spend it.
Today Mars is lined up with the Sun in your sign, which makes you ready to tackle something new! You want to begin something. You are also ready to compete with anyone. You want the independence to do your own thing because you don’t want anyone bossing you around. Definitely!
Some behind-the-scenes ideas make you excited today. Quite likely, this excitement will be obvious if you’re talking to others. Nevertheless, with Venus in your sign, you will present yourself with diplomacy and charm, even though you’re on a mission!
Relations with friends and groups are upbeat and energetic today! In particular, you will love to be active in physical sports, especially in a competition. (You want to win!) This same high energy will be apparent in meetings with others. Take it easy.
Your ambition is aroused today, which means you intend to achieve something. It’s okay to go after what you want; but make sure you don’t alienate bosses and important people. You will need these people, so make the effort to give them respect. (Be smart.)
Avoid controversial subjects today because you might go overboard due to the fact that you’re super enthusiastic. Instead, channel this energy into making travel plans, or perhaps learning or studying something new. Your best option is outdoors physical activity! Being desk bound is not your best choice today.
You’ll have no trouble defending your own best interests in discussions about inheritances, wills and shared property today. (That’s putting it mildly.) That’s because today you are gung-ho to make a statement, especially with partners and close friends. “Now hear this! Now hear this!”
TV personality Simon Cowell (1959) shares your birthday today. You are a visionary with futuristic ideas. You are intelligent, witty and creative; and determined about going after what you want. Please note: Simplicity is the key to your current year. It’s important to build solid structures in your life both literally and figuratively. Focus on improving your health as well, especially through physical exercise. Remember your practical needs.
OCTOBER 7 birthday horoscope predicts that you are a Libra. You are a Libran who has a serious side as well as a humorous side. You take on life with the attitude that you only live once. You go for the gold. This takes a lot of discipline and dedication.
However, you maintain that family comes first in your life. Without their support, you wouldn’t be where you are and couldn’t achieve the things you want out of life. Mainly, you work so that your loved ones will have a comfortable life. Your friends and family think the world of you.
Libra, you have a lot of talent. As a career, you have many options. The October 7 birthday personality is not afraid to try new things. You find comfort in knowing that you are not limited to one profession. Let’s talk about what you can do.
You can educate, to counsel or to be a social worker. If you were born under this Libra birthday, it is very likely that you want to learn, you love learning! A job in research would not be far-fetched. It is your decision. Whatever you want to do, you can do it.
The October 7 horoscope predicts that you tend to stand up for what is fair or for what’s right. You think that things should be balanced and not just given to a select few. This is natural for you.
This zodiac birthday people usually have their ideas. Typically, they do not dance to the same beat as everyone else. Additionally, you are a person who has dreams, and you could be unrealistic in looking for perfection in certain situations and people. But people admire this quality about you.
October 7 zodiac predicts that you are mysterious. You don’t like to share your thoughts with people not even those closest to you. Today’s birthday horoscope tells that you could be lacking confidence when it comes to love and romance. However, when you do find that you can let your guard down, you trust that person wholeheartedly. Since it is hard to get this Libra to trust, betrayal should not be a consideration.
As a child, you may have had a strict upbringing but an affectionate one. Your parents may have taught you the fine details of budding into a fruitful adult. You get your strength from your childhood and the values that were given to you.
You will likely teach your children what you have learned and teach them your values. You may feel that you must teach children about respect and compassion for others. You want others to benefit from your experiences in life.
If today October 7 is your birthday, you value the earth. You recycle the plastic and aluminum and separate the glass containers. You probably take the subway to work or ride your bike to the corner store. You are an asset to your community and society.
This Libran can be so involved that you tire yourself out. There is generally a petition for a cause that takes up much of your time that you need to find time to refuel your strength and energy. It is likely that you find meditation to be useful.
Another October 7 birthday trait that belongs to a Libra born today is that you have the power of persuasion. You appreciate the simple things in life so; you are not a materialistic person.
On the other hand, you realize the power of money as well. You like what it can do for someone who does not have as much as you do. You feel that someone with the same ability should use it wisely. Making a difference in people’s lives is what drives you out of bed every day, and it keeps you thinking of ways to make their situations better.
Fair and just are just two words that describe this October 7 birthday personality. You typically do not like anything that is dirty or vulgar or things that tip your scale off balance. Those of you born today believe that two heads are better than one.
The October 7th horoscope shows that you like being partnered with someone who cares about the same issues and has the same interest as you. Usually, you are the peacemaker in the family or the workplace. You are truly dedicated to making your world a better place.
