A Thought for Today

This is wishing all witches everywhere could come out of the broom closet without fear of being persecuted in anyway even if it is a family member who would shun them.

Until we meet again blessed be dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests.

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today professional and business concerns are your focus. In addition, for some reason, your most intimate and personal life might be on public display. Like what’s with that? Perhaps it’s a public argument? (It’s hard to keep your shirt on when you need to get something off your chest.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you need to get outta Dodge. You want to be free of your daily routine and do something different for some thrills and fun stimulation. Travel would be an obvious choice. Enjoy meeting new friends, especially people who are different.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today your emotional experiences will be more intense than usual. Or possibly, you will attract someone to you who is very intense. (“Hi Darth.”) You might be envious of something that someone else owns because you’re focused on the wealth of others. It happens to us all.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the Moon is opposite your sign, which will draw your attention to your most personal relationships. Because of the placement of the Moon, conflicts will be more emotional. Guard against knee-jerk reactions when talking to others. Stay chill.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you might have to put your own considerations second to the wants and needs of someone else. Don’t worry; you’re not being a martyr, it’s just what’s happening. Nevertheless, you will be productive, and this will give you a sense of reward and satisfaction.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today the Moon is in your fellow Earth sign, which balances your energy and gives you a warm feeling in your tummy. This is why you will project yourself more than usual when dealing with others. You might also feel more protective and nurturing to children.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Grab every chance to slip away to your own private place today so that you can enjoy solitude in beautiful surroundings. Preferably with good food and drink. (One needs sustenance) It might occur to you today just how much your habits control your life.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You have a strong desire to talk to others today and tell them your ideas and share your opinions. You might even want to teach somebody something. Certainly, you want conversations to be real, which is why you will avoid superficial chitchat.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It’s easy to identify with your possessions today. You might feel a strong attachment to something that you own. Certainly, you don’t want to lend something to someone. You might also find yourself having to defend yourself about something, perhaps your values, to someone else.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which can bring you a tiny bit of extra good luck. It also increases your need to relate to friends and loved ones, which is why you will be warm and sympathetic to others. You will be there if someone needs you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you will be happiest working alone or behind the scenes because you need some time by yourself. Nevertheless, don’t hesitate to communicate your deep feelings to someone is willing to listen. We all need to be heard. (Time to send out for dark chocolate?)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your emotional contact with a friend or a member of a group will be highlighted today. In part, this could be because you feel more protective and supportive about someone. Your strong connection with this person is important to you, which is why you might feel jealous if they pay attention to someone else. (Jealousy is all the fun you think they’re having.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Queen Elizabeth II (1926) shares your birthday today. You push yourself hard and in doing so, you inspire others to achieve their goals. Despite your strong work ethic, you are playful and enjoy having a good time. This is a year of construction and building. This might apply in an external way or to internal structures you want to introduce into your life.

Apollo 16 Moon Panorama

Explanation: Fifty years ago, April 20, 1972, Apollo 16’s lunar module Orion touched down on the Moon’s near side in the south-central Descartes Highlands. While astronaut Ken Mattingly orbited overhead in Casper the friendly command and service module the Orion brought John Young and Charles Duke to the lunar surface. The pair would spend nearly three days on the Moon. Constructed from images (AS16-117-18814 to AS16-117-18820) taken near the end of their third and final surface excursion this panoramic view puts the lunar module in the distance toward the left. Their electric lunar roving vehicle in the foreground, Duke is operating the camera while Young aims the high gain communications antenna skyward, toward planet Earth.

A Thought for Today

I saw this quote and knew it would be in time with many of our personal drummers. Always be proud of who you are and hold your head high with your shoulders up and squared no matter what others might say or post on social media about you, or even the way someone looks at you. Remember you are who you are supposed to be and to Hades with what others think about you.

Until we meet again blessed be dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests!

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

For the next four weeks, you will be focused more on money, earnings and dealing with your possessions. In fact, at a subtle level you will give more thought to your values in life. In other words, what really matters? It’s important to know this.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Sun enters your sign where will stay for the next four weeks. This happens only once a year and when it occurs it gives you a wonderful boost to your energy. It is your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of year. It also attracts people and favourable circumstances to you. Yay!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

As your birthday looms ahead, this means your personal year is coming to an end. Therefore, the next four weeks are an ideal time for you to do some reassessing about where you are and imagine what you want for your future. Start to strategize a new path.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

For the next four weeks, you will be more involved with friends as well as participating in clubs, groups and organizations. This is the perfect window of time to examine the role that these friendships and relationships play in your life. Remember, your friends are a reflection of you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The Sun will be at the top of your chart for the next four weeks. This can only occur once a year and when it does, it symbolizes that you are in the spotlight. Furthermore, this spotlight is flattering! People are impressed with you even if you don’t do anything special. Good time to make your pitch.

Do whatever you can to broaden your horizons in the next four weeks. Study, explore new experiences, meet new people, travel and learn new things. Do not hide at home. Au contraire! Get out and discover your world!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re heading into a passionate four-week window! Physical, romantic passions will be high. You will also be passionate about other things including finances and jointly-held property. Get stuff done.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

For the next four weeks, the Sun will be opposite your sign, something that can occur only once a year. Because the Sun symbolizes your energy, and now it is as far away from your sign as it can get all year, you will need more sleep. Look for ways to improve close relationships.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You can expect to get a lot done in the next four weeks because the Sun will be travelling through the part of your chart that will make you want to manage your life and examine your duties and your responsibilities to your own health. You will definitely want to “get it together.”

Your focus on amusement, social occasions, sports related activities, children, fun outings and vacations will be strong in the next four weeks. “I’m outta here!” You want to have fun! This is why your relationships will be more lighthearted and playful.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Home, family and your private life will be your main focus in the next four weeks. Many of you will be more involved than usual with a parent. Memories of the past will be bubbling to the surface of your mind. Good time to see a counsellor.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The pace of your days will accelerate in the next four weeks because you’re busy! You’ve got places to go, things to do and people to see! This is also an excellent time to study and learn. Enjoy meeting new faces and seeing new places.

April 20, 2022 Birthday Horoscope Digest

May the next year of your life be better than the past year! 

Click here to read anyone’s birthday horoscope from sunsigns.org

IF YOU ARE BORN ON April 20, you are an Aries birthday individual who is capable of being very logical and considerate. In certain situations, you remain calm when other people would go nuts. That kind of collectiveness is certainly useful in management positions or while parenting.

If today is your birthday, you are likely to think with your heart sometimes instead of your brain. This can give people the impression that you are spacey or wishy-washy even.

The April 20th birthday personality seems to like the tranquility of peaceful and undisclosed settings. This Arian likes to take his or her time and tends to have a soft-spoken and pleasing disposition. You do not like massive crowds nor do you like to be hurried. Some may think that you are a little precarious or moody because of it.

Most of your friends love your warm and caring attitude but more so your imagination. You have always been a curious individual and like to be in control over your state of affairs.

However, there are times when you get a little depressed and feel out of sorts. Nothing, not even a day out with your favorite people would cure you. Treating yourself to a spa day or a picnic would change your mood in no time.

The 20th April birthday horoscope predicts that you are close to your friends and family. You are a valued loved one but there could be a lot of pressure associated with these relationships. Arians born today want to live by their own set of rules and may have developed other values than what was forced upon them as a child.

As an Aries born on this zodiac birthday, you love to be chased. This is unlike most other Arians. In a relationship you look for someone who is loyal, has emotional maturity, and who has compelling urges for momentary pleasures.

The April 20 birthday astrology rightly shows that you can be taxing, at times, persistent and controlling but you try to remain realistic. You give your word… people can count on it. You, as a rule, do not go around making impossible promises.

You who are born on this day have ambitions. With your mind set on living a worry-free lifestyle, you work on achieving financial goals. You know how to use the salary you were given to your advantage but you will accept the highest paid position offered.

Money management is one your best assets. You know when to buy and when to save. Some say that money is evil but you believe that not having enough makes people do desperate things.

The 20 April birthday meanings show that you need to have a balance between eating nutritious meals and fitness. Since you are usually active, you need to eat better food than what they serve at the drive-thru windows. Stay away from those tantalizing dessert trays and make regular appointments with all health care physicians.

Those of you born this day have careers that come with stress so be watchful of signs that something may be wrong. Working out or meditation will be useful tools to help with nervous tension. In addition, it will help maintain that youthful appearance you desire.

The 20th April birthday personality is said to live in their own world. You have the ability to stay calm during stressful times or crises. You have problems, however, staying away from junk foods. Your image is important to you, as you want to live the tranquil life of one who is respected and successful.

This Aries prefer the peaceful sounds of the country rather than the hustle and bustle of city life. If you were born on April 20, your birthday characteristics show that you are good with handling money.

You know how to save for rainy days, as you are no stranger to disappointment and setbacks. Aside from bouts with slight depression, you are in excellent mental health.

Planet Line over New York Bridge

Explanation: There’s an interesting sky to see if you wake up before the Sun. Lined up on toward the eastern horizon are four planets in a row. The planets are so bright they can even be seen from the bright sky inside a city. In fact, the featured image was taken from New York City, USA, with the foreground highlighted by the RFK (TriboroughBridge. Pictured, the planets are, left to right, JupiterVenusMars, and Saturn. The planets all appear in a row because they all orbit the Sun in the same plane. This plane, called the ecliptic plane, was created in the early days of our Solar System and includes all planets, including Earth. The morning planet parade will continue throughout April and May, and will even be joined by Mercury in June.

A Great Website for Irish Pagan Information

I have been following this website Irish Pagan School for about two years and have taken a couple of courses through them about Irish Celtic Paganism. The first course I took was on Ogham and even though I have been reading ogham Staves for years I learned somethings I was doing wrong that would affect a reading and some new ways to go about using the Ogham alphabet. Their courses are do not cost a lot for the information you can gain plus you can go back to the material time and time again.  You will get almost daily information usually in the form of a video through youtube.com. You can find the list of a variety of topics here by Irish Pagan School Videos I highly recommend watching a few if you are all interested in Celtic Paganism. Even with their Irish accent they are easy to understand.

Yesterday’s email announced a new way to gain information and I am really looking forward to listening to their podcasts. Here is the email I received including the link for the podcasts.
