March 9, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest
Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Gemini.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
For the next few weeks, you will play your cards close to your chest. You might even be secretive. You definitely will be successful doing research because you will easily discover hidden information and discern the subtext of things. (Don’t leave home without your deerstalker.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You will be more involved with younger people in the next few weeks. This could be a younger friend, but more likely you will be more involved with a group or an organization. This same window of time is an excellent time to define future goals. (Goals help keep you on track and make decision making easier.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs will be ready to listen to you in the next few weeks. It will be apparent to them that you have something to say, and they want to hear it. Personally, you might start to make plans about your general direction in life.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You have a lovely opportunity in the next few weeks to study and learn. You might use this same astrological influence to finish a manuscript or an important paper. Many of you will make travel plans and indeed, some of you will travel.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This year you will benefit more than usual from the wealth and resources of others. This boon might come to you via your partner or from an inheritance or money from the government. In the next few weeks, discussions about shared property might occur.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Expect to have lively discussions with partners and close friends in the next few weeks because your ruler Mercury will be opposite your sign. For some of you, this means you will attract someone to you who is chatty and talkative. Yada, yada, yada.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on with certain tasks in the next few weeks. Some will do this at work; some will do this in your personal life. All of you will accomplish a lot, which could lead to a promotion or a better job. This might also improve your health.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
In the next few weeks, you will enjoy puzzles, mind games, arts and crafts and a chance to express your creative talents, especially mentally or using your hands. You are a trickster and will welcome opportunities for a few pranks. Playful times with kids will delight.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Your focus is on home and family. In the next few weeks, you might tackle home repairs. Family discussions will take place, probably about real-estate opportunities or ways to improve where you live. This could include plans for a residential move.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The pace of your days will accelerate in the next few weeks because you’re busy with appointments, short trips plus increased reading, writing and studying. You will be full of ideas and eager to share your thoughts with others.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
It’s not surprising that in the next few weeks, you will have moneymaking ideas because this year, you will become richer! Something will happen to swell your coffers. Perhaps you will earn more, or you might receive gifts or an inheritance?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your need to talk to others and enlighten them about your ideas and hopes for the future will be very strong in the next few weeks. This is why it’s important to interact with others online or in person because you need to be heard. You have something to say!
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Oscar Isaac (1979) shares your birthday today. You are charming and have a great sense of humour. You are also compassionate and caring for those who are less fortunate. In particular, you have a strong sense of justice. This year is the final year of a nine-year cycle for you, which means you will be letting go of what is no longer relevant in your life.

2022 March 9
A Flower-Shaped Rock on Mars
Image Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech, MSSS
Explanation: It is one of the more unusual rocks yet found on Mars. Smaller than a penny, the rock has several appendages that make it look, to some, like a flower. Although it would be a major discovery if the rock was truly a fossilized ancient Martian flower, there are less spectacular — and currently preferred — explanations for its unusual structure. One theory that has emerged is that the rock is a type of concretion created by minerals deposited by water in cracks or divisions in existing rock. These concretions can be compacted together, can be harder and denser than surrounding rock, and can remain even after the surrounding rock erodes away. The flower structure may also be caused by crystal clusters. The small rock, named Blackthorn Salt, has similarities to previously imaged Martian pebbles. The featured image was taken by the Curiosity rover on Mars in late February. Scientists will continue to study data and images taken of this — and similar — surprising Martian rocks.
