Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today the Moon is opposite your sign building to the Full Moon tomorrow. This could trigger tensions between you and close friends and partners. Fortunately, although problems increase as every Full Moon approaches – after it peaks, they diminish or disappear.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

As we approach tomorrow’s Full Moon, you might find it increasingly difficult dealing with coworkers. You might also be at odds with someone about a pet. Or you might feel increasing concerns about your health. This will all fade by Sunday.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Romantic partners must be patient with each other today; and likewise, parents must be patient with their kids because there is a buildup of energy happening today before tomorrow’s Full Moon that can create anxiety in everyone. Stay chill.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The Moon is your ruler, which means you definitely feel the Full Moon. Tomorrow’s Full Moon will be a bit challenging because it is at odds with your sign. After it peaks, things will be easier. But in the meantime, today, be patient with others, especially parents and bosses and authority figures.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be careful today because this is an accident-prone day for you. We’re talking physical accidents as well as verbal accidents. (“Did I just say that?”) Therefore, go slowly and think before you say or do anything. Be cautious.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you might find that financial matters are coming to a head. It could create a bit of angst for you. It’s encouraging to know that after the Full Moon peaks tomorrow, these problems will diminish and possibly, even disappear! (This includes worrying about dealing with something that you own.) Relax.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tomorrow the only Full Moon in your sign all year will take place, which is why you feel some buildup of energy or anxiety within you today. (It’s simply heightened emotions.) Therefore, do what you can to remain calm and grounded. By Sunday, everything will feel much better.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you have to be patient with coworkers, as well as yourself, because of the buildup of energy before tomorrow’s Full Moon. This buildup of energy might create a situation dealing with a pet, or perhaps something related to your health. Everything will improve after the Full Moon peaks tomorrow.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Parents should know that this is a mildly accident-prone day for their kids so please keep an eye on them. That’s because there is a buildup of energy today before tomorrow’s Full Moon. You might sense that people are over animated in social situations. Easy does it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Tomorrow the Full Moon will take place at the top of your chart. This is the only time all year this can happen. This is why today you might have difficulty dealing with bosses, parents, teachers and the police. Everything is a bit tense. Relax. Go with the flow. Things will be much better by Sunday.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because today is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign due to the buildup of the energy before tomorrow’s Full Moon. Do not be hasty. Think twice before endorsing unusual belief systems and theories. Before you agree to what someone else believes, do your own thinking or research about the subject.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Financial matters might be challenging today, especially regarding other people’s money or the responsibility you have for someone else. (This includes wills, inheritances, bills, taxes and shared property.) By Sunday, you will have more clarity in these issues – one hopes.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Maisie Williams (1997) shares your birthday today. You are a goal-oriented person with a strong sense of ethics, who likes to be appreciated. Fairness and justice are important to you. This year is a time of reflection and learning for you. You might explore or renew your spiritual or religious beliefs. This year will become more exciting as it goes along.

 

April 15, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest

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

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on April 15 has an illumination of 98%. 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 April 15 the Moon is 13.37 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.

Spell for Today – A Spell to Request Peace in the World

 A Spell to Request Peace in the World

This can be done at any time, there is so much civil strife and uneasiness that people must remember to ask for peace.

Burn jasmine incense and light a blue candle. Chant:

We strive toward Spirit again and again,
With faltering steps, unsure of the way.
Open the gates of enlightenment.
Make for us a new day
Of karmic purpose and goal,
A path to a new Earth soul.

Sit quietly visualizing a blue cloud of healing and peace slowly covering the Earth. If you have a specific area, work on mentally permeating that area with the blue cloud. Send out vibrations of love, understanding, cooperation, and peace. Do not visualize how this is to be done, just that it will. Follow the blue cloud of peace with a pink fog of universal love. Say:

Let there be peace among all lands.
Let there be harmony among all peoples.
Cosmic love enters every heart and mind.
All strife is replaced by peace.
By the powers of the Supreme Creator within me,
It is so!

The Gator-back Rocks of Mars

Image Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech, MSSS

Explanation: Wind-sharpened rocks known as ventifacts, cover this broad sloping plain in the foot hills of Mount Sharp, Gale crater, Mars. Dubbed gator-back rocks their rugged, scaly appearance is captured in these digitally stitched Mastcam frames from the Curiosity rover on mission sol 3,415 (March 15, 2022). Driving over gator-back rocks before has resulted in damage to the rover’s wheels, so Curiosity team members decided to turn around and take another path to continue the rover’s climb. Curiosity has been on an ascent of Gale crater’s central 5.5 kilometer high mountain since 2014. As it climbs, it’s been able to study layers shaped by water on Mars billions of years ago.
