Moon Alert

Caution! Avoid shopping or making important decisions after 6:45 AM EDT today and for the rest of the day. (3:45 AM to 10 PM PDT). The Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

There is a Moon Alert today, which means refrain from spending money, except on food and gas. However, this particular Moon Alert is in a creative part of your chart, which means your artistic energy will soar! Use this however you can. You are the artisan of the zodiac.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You can best use today’s energy to hunker down at home and relate to family in a genuine, more open way. That’s because all today is a Moon Alert, which will encourage you to let your hair down and tell it like it is. Postpone important decisions until tomorrow.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a loosey-goosey day! There is a Moon Alert all day, which might make you feel indecisive and unsure of what to do next. It’s a good day to explore new ideas as well as brainstorm thoughts with others. Wait until tomorrow to settle on anything.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Do be aware of the restrictions of today’s Moon Alert because it is taking place in your Money House. Restrict spending to food and gas. Postpone important decisions and financial matters until tomorrow.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today, virtually all day, there is a Moon Alert in Leo! This means your mind is freewheeling and soaring like a helium balloon cut free in the sky. You will more easily grasp creative ideas because you can think outside of the box. But wait until tomorrow to agree to anything important.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because there is a Moon Alert today occurring in a hidden part of your chart, this is an excellent day for meditation, yoga or any quiet activity that helps to calm your mind and make you feel more grounded. Restrict spending to food and gas.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Relations with friends as well as members of groups will be friendly and possibly, more frank than usual because of today’s Moon Alert. Nevertheless, don’t volunteer for anything or agree to anything important.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are high viz. today, which means other people notice you more than usual, especially bosses, VIPs and the police. Because of the Moon Alert, you might make a mistake or be confused. Don’t volunteer for anything. Wait until tomorrow to make any kind of commitment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today there is a Moon Alert in effect all day, which will allow you to explore ideas you don’t normally consider. It will make it easier for you to listen to people whose views are different from yours. Nevertheless, wait until tomorrow to agree to anything important.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The Moon Alert today, which is in effect all day, takes place in your House of Other People’s Money. This means this is a poor day to make decisions about shared property, taxes, debt or insurance issues. Do your research but wait until tomorrow to sign the dotted line.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Relations with partners and close friends will be fuzzy today because there is a Moon Alert happening all day long opposite your sign. This will promote honest and open conversations, but they might be confusing. Don’t hold anyone to anything today. All bets are off until tomorrow.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Issues at work might be clouded and confused because of today’s Moon Alert. Expect shortages and delays. Carry on with business as usual as best you can but wait until tomorrow to make important decisions. (With four planets in your sign, you will all the cards.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Eva Longoria (1975) shares your birthday today. You are hard-working and responsible. You are also very persuasive when you want to be. You are a caring person and always helpful to others. This year there is a strong focus on personal responsibility and service to others, which is why you must take excellent care of yourself. In fact, some of you might even consider a makeover.

March 15, 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

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

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

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on March 15 has an illumination of 91%. 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 15 the Moon is 11.97 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.

March 15 Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

2022 March 15

A Road to the Stars

Image Credit: ESO, Petr Horálek (ESO Photo Ambassador, Inst. of Physics in Opava)

A stunning night view, taken close to the 1.54m Danish Telescope and the 3.6m telescope on the road at La Silla, shows the Milky Way above the horizon, accompanied by the Magellanic Clouds. ESO’s 3.6m Telescope, seen here atop a hill at the centre of the image, is home to HARPS, an instrument dedicated to the discovery of planets outside the Solar System via the radial velocity method. This method enables the detection of a planet by measuring the wobbling motion of the central star caused by the gravitational pull of the planet itself.  The towers on the left are the support structures of the BlackGEM telescopes, which had not been installed yet when this image was taken. BlackGEM is an array of telescopes that will search for the light emitted by the optical counterparts of the most powerful gravitational-wave sources, namely colliding neutron stars and black holes.  On the right of the image, we see the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two irregular dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way at a distance of approximately 160 000 and 200 000 light-years, respectively. In the Mapuche culture of south-central Chile, these neighbouring galaxies were known as lafken, labken or künchalabken (“the lagoons”) as well as rünanko (“the water wells”). [1] The red filamentary emission stretching across the sky in the horizon is called airglow, which is light naturally emitted by atoms and molecules in the atmosphere through various physical and chemical processes. Despite showing up prominently in this image, airglow is invisible to the unaided eye.   [1] Source: Wenumapu. Astronomía y Cosmología Mapuche, Gabriel Pozo Menares & Margarita Canio Llanquinao
Explanation: Pictured — a very scenic road to the stars. The road approaches La Silla Observatory in Chile, with the ESO‘s 3.6-meter telescope just up ahead. To the left are some futuristic-looking support structures for the planned BlackGEM telescopes, an array of optical telescopes that will help locate optical counterparts to gravitational waves detections by LIGO and other detectors. But there is much more. Red airglow illuminates the night sky on the right, while the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy slants across the image center. Jupiter can be seen just above the band near the image center, while Saturn is visible just above the 3.6-meter telescope dome. The two largest satellite galaxies of our Milky Way Galaxy, the LMC and SMC, are seen on the far right. The featured image panorama was built up from multiple 15-second exposures that were captured on 2019 June 30. Two days later, La Silla experienced a rare total eclipse of the Sun.
