The Rowan Moon is associated with Brigid, the Celtic Triple Goddess of Imbolc or Candlemas. Brigid is also a Goddess of spinning and weaving who prepares the never-ending fabric of life and guides the passage of the Sun through the constellations and the seasonal cycles.  Rowan was therefore the wood traditionally used for the making of spindles and spinning wheels.

Irish Druids held Rowan trees sacred and called them “The Tree of Life”.  The Rowan’s old Celtic name is Fid na ndruad which means Wizards Tree and this shows its long tradition of being associated with Druids, sorcerers and …

Flashback 2004 Lammas

(This is written for the Northern Hemisphere in 2004. The date of August 7th is wrong for 2022 the Southern or Northern Hemisphere)

Lammas

Lammas is the first of the harvest festivals, a celebration of ripening grains and grapes. If you celebrate traditionally on the second, the planetary energies offer a for great creative energy, drama, and joy. If you celebrate on the astrologically on August 7 at 15 degrees of Leo, the Moon will aid a ceremony with great magic and mystery.

The Sun is wanning, but still holding sway in the sky. A day of circle dances and foot races will honor the Sun; be certain the music encourages exuberant joy. If you planted wheat in a pot or plot, this is the day to ritually harvest it. Use some to make a Brigid’s cross; save a few stalks to return to the earth as compost next spring and lend continuity from harvest to sowing to harvest.

If corn is your grain of choice, bring ripe ears to the altar and use the husks to make corn dollies for use at Imbolc. Indian corn can be dried, ground, and used in corn bread. Make a fiery incense with dragon’s blood and hot herbs like ginger or galangal. Do a ritual at a sacred spot — a well or tree or sacred hill. Use the colors of green and gold and orange for your altar, and encourage everyone to wear them. The harvest has just begun.

Flashback 2004 Imbolc

 Imbolc

Celebrate this festival by draping the altar in white and silver. Kepp the entire altar white — white candlesticks, white incense bowls, etc. Represent the Goddess with a figure of a horned cow. If you wear robes in ritual, honor Brigid in her guise as the goddess of the dairy by wearing white. With Neptune lending the glamour to your robes to the Sun this time, as glitter to your robes with sliver and “diamonds.” Let your imagination run wild.

Save snow from the last storm, or use crushed ice, and put it out in bowls on the altar. Scrub clean an old milke bottle or cream jar and fill it with fresh milk; freshly made mozzarella cheese will round out your cakes and ale. Nestle all bowls in the snow.

The planetary energies are particularly favorable this sabbat for working magic for world peace. Place all the candles you’ll be using this year on the altar and start this ritual in the dark — this is, without lights. Add your magic to the returning Sun. Dedicate and consecrate all your candles during this festival of lights, and consecrate your agricultural tools for use in the coming cycle of growth. This is the festival of new beginnings.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You might have new, fresh, innovative ideas related to your job or perhaps your health today. Whatever happens, you will see how to improve something, especially to do with technology. Possibly, your clever improvements will apply to how you deal with your pet. It’s an interesting day!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you’re full of creative, original ideas! Surprise invitations to a social occasion or something to do with a creative project might also occur. Alternatively, an appointment might be cancelled. Note: this is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids. Be vigilant.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Something unexpected might impact your home routine today. A small appliance might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Perhaps someone unexpected might knock at the door? Stock the fridge so you’re ready for anything. (Hopefully, the surprise is pleasant.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

There is an unpredictable quality to this day. You might change your daily plans. You might meet someone new who is unusual. You might have bright, clever ideas? However, it is a mildly accident-prone day for you, so be careful. Pay attention to everything you say and do.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might spend your money impulsively today. Therefore, beware spontaneous shopping because you could have later regrets. At least, keep your receipts – and the box. Meanwhile, keep an eye on your money because you might find money or you might lose money.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today has an electric, exciting quality to it because the Moon is in your sign dancing with wild, wacky Uranus. This can make you impulsive and ready to do something at the drop of a hat. Nevertheless, think twice before you act to avoid having later regrets. Be smart.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a vaguely restless day for you. You might not know why. That’s not important because this influence is brief. Don’t worry if you feel unsure of things because in fact, there are subtle and not so subtle changes today taking place everywhere today. If you’re not sure what to do, do nothing.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might meet a real character today. Or possibly, someone you already know will do something that surprises you. A discussion with a friend might also prompt you to reconsider or rethink your long-term goals. Keep an open mind. (But not so open that everything falls out.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A boss, parent, teacher or member of the police might catch you off guard today – be prepared. This is because something to do with authority figures will be unpredictable. In turn, this could make you feel rebellious or inclined to overreact. Be cool. Never underestimate the power of courtesy.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Travel plans might change today. Or possibly, you might suddenly have to travel when you did not expect to do so. You might hear news that is pleasing regarding a course or something related to politics, religion or higher learning. Could be anything.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Double check all details regarding debt, shared property, insurance issues and banking because something unexpected could impact these areas. When it comes to your debt and your wealth, you want to be on top of things and be in the know. Information is power.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

A friend or partner will surprise you today by saying or doing something you didn’t expect. Possibly, you will be introduced to someone, perhaps someone in the general public, and they will be unusual or surprising in some way. Stay off your heels. Be alert.

If Your Birthday Is Today

JANUARY 21 birthday horoscope predicts that you are irreplaceable! The January 21 birthday zodiac sign is Aquarius – the Water Bearer. You give the appearance of being one cool cat. You have this internal magnet that draws people toward you. You cannot go anywhere that people do not know you. You walk into a room and own it. You are one famous personality.

As people have this impression of you, those that do not know you would say you are stuck on yourself. In all actuality, you are entertaining loving, humorous and lovable individuals. Aquarius, you seem to encompass many attractive qualities or so says the January 21 horoscope.

The January 21 birthday personality are smart and beautiful, but you can be somewhat unconventional in your way of thinking and doing things. You have significant close relationships with friends and family. They are your source of strength and companionship.

January 21 zodiac, you are number eleven in the astrological tree. This zodiac sign is known as the Water Bearer. My dear Aquarius, you are a natural born leader. Even though your personal life is important to you, you place it on the back burner for your career.

You are too intelligent and talented for your abilities to go to waste. You think that your talents should be used for the greater good of the people so, you share the rewards with others. You love it when people are attracted to you for your brain rather than your sex appeal.

The January 21 horoscope says that you are more traditional in romantic affairs than other Aquarians. You very much want to pair up rather than be another notch on the post. When someone sparks your interest, you are passionate and hopeful that it results in a love commitment.

Because of your popularity and your emotional brick wall, it is hard for you to maintain a new romantic relationship. It is as if those with January 21 birthday push people away or choose those that they cannot have to begin with. Can it be that when things start to go your way, you mess it all up? It is something to think about. Otherwise, you are a reasonable and objective Aquarian.

You are the “go-to” person. Friends, family and your subordinates know they can count on you. With your charm, you possess those qualities to rub noses with the right people. Your tireless pursuit of success, money and perhaps, notoriety, keeps you busy. You need to take some time off too.

With all you have going on, January 21 birthday personality can be moody at times and understandably so. In your quest for these goals, you hate to hurt anyone’s feelings, so you feel bad when you lash out at someone you love. The truth of the matter is that the ruthless nature of success is that other people get hurt. You want to live a lifestyle uncommon to your upbringing, so you take with you a determination to beat the odds.

The Aquarius birthday astrology analysis for today says that you have to be resourceful to come up with new and profitable ideas as those born on January 21. Most of which are risky. You always have had a flair for the unusual. The future of person who born on 21 January will be unique and different.

You need to advance, and so, you try to come up with new ways of improving, building or manufacturing things. Being the observant Aquarius that you are, you have learned important life lessons. It could be where you developed your leadership qualities.

What your birthday says about you is that you have come quite a long way. But you still have not found that one thing that drives you out of bed in the morning. There are many job opportunities you want to involve yourself in.

You are talented enough to become an instructor, a politician, speaker, or someone in the healthcare industry. You could be a gifted songwriter or have the ability to sing. The decision lies with you. Whatever it ends up being, you will be great!

Some would say that being born on January 21 makes you a stimulating Aquarius. I would say so! Your energy is incredible. You juggle different goals and give each your best. It would drive some other Aquarians crazy, but it is your sanity.

Speaking of your sanity, you tend to hold grudges. Aquarius you need to let go. It is in the past. Make your peace with it and move on. Do a little spring-cleaning so you can get something new in its place. Get a haircut or a new color while you are at it. Change can be good.

Young Star Jet MHO 2147

Image Credit & License: International Gemini Observatory / NOIRLab / NSF / AURA Acknowledgments: L. Ferrero (Universidad Nacional de Córdoba)
Explanation: Laser guide stars and adaptive optics sharpened this stunning ground-based image of stellar jets from the Gemini South Observatory, Chilean Andes, planet Earth. These twin outflows of MHO 2147 are from a young star in formation. It lies toward the central Milky Way and the boundary of the constellations Sagittarius and Ophiuchus at an estimated distance of some 10,000 light-years. At center, the star itself is obscured by a dense region of cold dust. But the infrared image still traces the sinuous jets across a frame that would span about 5 light-years at the system’s estimated distance. Driven outward by the young rotating star, the apparent wandering direction of the jets is likely due to precession. Part of a multiple star system, the young star’s rotational axis would slowly precess or wobble like a top under the gravitation influence of its nearby companions.
