Globular Star Cluster 47 Tuc

Image Credit & Copyright: Bernard Miller

Explanation: Globular star cluster 47 Tucanae is a jewel of the southern sky. Also known as NGC 104, it roams the halo of our Milky Way Galaxy along with some 200 other globular star clusters. The second brightest globular cluster (after Omega Centauri) as seen from planet Earth, 47 Tuc lies about 13,000 light-years away. It can be spotted with the naked-eye close on the sky to the Small Magellanic Cloud in the constellation of the Toucan. The dense cluster is made up of hundreds of thousands of stars in a volume only about 120 light-years across. Red giant stars on the outskirts of the cluster are easy to pick out as yellowish stars in this sharp telescopic portrait. Tightly packed globular cluster 47 Tuc is also home to a star with the closest known orbit around a black hole.

Moon Alert

Caution! Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 11:30 AM EST for the rest of the day (8:30 AM to 11:30 PM PST). The Moon is in Gemini.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Because of the Moon Alert today, your mind is full of creative ideas! Although you have the benefit of the flexible mind today, wait until tomorrow to sign important papers or to agree to anything.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Be careful! Today the Moon Alert is in your Money House, which will tempt you to shop for many things! But this is a poor day to spend your money on anything other than food and gas. See Moon Alert above for your time zone. Be smart.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Most of this day is a Moon Alert, which is taking place in your sign. (Oh yeah.) The good news is you will feel free and more in touch with your creativity. You will be imaginative and full of fun impulses. The bad news is you can’t trust your judgment. Restrict spending to food and gas.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Very likely, you feel indecisive today. You might not be sure what to do. Pay attention to this quality and postpone important decisions until tomorrow. That’s because most of this day is a Moon Alert. This is a fine day to talk to people; but don’t agree to anything important.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You will enjoy schmoozing with friends in person or online today. You will also be happy to be in touch with fellow members of groups and organizations. However, because today there is a Moon Alert for most of the day, postpone important decisions until tomorrow.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today’s Moon Alert is taking place at the top of your chart, which means that you are more high viz. than usual. Unfortunately, you might appear indecisive or unsure what to do. Worse yet, you might make an important decision that later backfires. Put things on hold until tomorrow. Don’t volunteer for anything.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a creative day for you, especially in terms of doing academic research and exploring ideas or philosophical concepts. For example, your mind will be open to ideas you might usually resist. However, don’t agree to anything important.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today the Moon Alert, which exists for most of the day, is in one of your Money Houses. Definitely, do not sign important papers. Do not agree to decisions about inheritances, insurance settlements or shared property. Wait until tomorrow.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today the Moon Alert is directly opposite your own sign, which means you will have a candid, even unpredictable, conversation with a partner or close friend. This could be a good thing because people will put their cards on the table. Nevertheless, wait until tomorrow to agree to anything important.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Shortages, delays and silly mistakes might occur with your work today. You might also feel confused about health issues or something to do with a pet. That’s because the Moon Alert might create hesitancy and confusion. Keep things light. Tomorrow, it’s all systems go.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a fabulous, creative day for you! It’s also a wonderful day to schmooze with others and in particular, to enjoy playful activities with children. Your mind is full of original concepts. Write them down and run them up the flagpole tomorrow to see who salutes.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is the perfect day to cocoon at home and relax. Attend to usual tasks. Do not shop for anything for your home except for food and sundries. A family conversation will be honest and enjoyable. Postpone important decisions until tomorrow.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Sharon Stone (1958) shares your birthday today. You are attractive and charming when dealing with others. Nevertheless, you are ambitious and determined to achieve your goals. You’re very aware of the impression you create on others. This is an exciting year for you because it’s a year of fresh new beginnings. Be courageous. Open any door! Explore new opportunities!

March 10, 2022 Daily Correspondence Digest for the Northern Hemisphere’s Moon Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From Moongiant.com

Today and tonight the Moon will be in a First Quarter phase. This phase occurs roughly 7 days after the New Moon when the moon is one quarter of the way through its orbit around the earth. Exactly half the moon will be illuminated and half dark. On the day of the First Quarter phase the moon is high overhead at sunset and is visible until mid-night when it sets in the west. The First Quarter phase is a one-day event and in the following days enters a Waxing Gibbous phase becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon.

Visit the March 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s First Quarter Phase

The First Quarter on March 10 has an illumination of 50%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On March 10 the Moon is 7.43 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

The 8 Lunar Phases

There are 8 lunar phases the Moon goes through in its 29.53 days lunar cycle. The 4 major Moon phases are Full Moon, New Moon, First Quarter and Last Quarter. Between these major phases, there are 4 minor ones: the Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous and Waning Crescent. For more info on the Moon Cycle and on each phase check out Wikipedia Lunar Phase page.

Familiar visualization spell

Visualizations are a great way of manifesting the reality you desire. Visualizations, like all magic, are based on the law of attraction principle. You can manifest almost anything you desire: a new job, new girlfriend/boyfriend, new magical pet? It’s up to you.

The key to making this work is pouring as much energy into your visualization as possible. This is where ceremonial magic and ritual items can be very helpful. For summoning a familiar I recommend this visualization spell:

  • Light a candle in a dark and quiet room
  • Use a magical wand or a dagger to draw an inverted pentagram in the air above the candle
  • Next, use the same ritual item to draw the shape of the animal spirit you wish to summon
  • Now, close your eyes and point the ritual item at the candle flame. Visualize the familiar manifesting in reality the candle flame as you pour your energy through the wand/dagger into the flame.
