Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Keep an eye on your money and possessions today because something unexpected could impact your assets. For example, you might find money or you might lose money. Likewise, something you own might be stolen, lost or damaged. Be alert.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Moon is in your sign lined up with unpredictable Uranus, which will make you feel impulsive and electrically charged. This can give you high energy and enthusiasm. However, it can also make you impulsive and capable of rash actions. Be aware of this and think before you act or speak.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a restless day! You have that feeling that you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. Basically, the Moon is in a hidden part of your chart lined up with unpredictable Uranus, which makes you feel vaguely uneasy. Don’t worry, this feeling is brief. Gone by tomorrow.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

A friend might surprise you today. Or perhaps someone in a group will do something you least expected? If you are caught off guard, the key is not to overreact or say something without thinking. Be cool. Give yourself a chance to have a sober second thought.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

When dealing with parents, bosses and people in authority today, you might feel suddenly defiant or rebellious. Even if you feel this way, what’s the upside? Generally, authority figures don’t like to be threatened. They don’t want discourteous resistance. Remember where your bread is buttered.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Travel plans might suddenly change today. They might be cancelled, delayed or conversely, you might suddenly have to travel when you did not expect to do so. Similarly, the media or something to do with medicine or the law might be the source of a surprise to you as well. Stay chill.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be smart and double check issues related to banking, inheritances, taxes and debt because something to do with these areas could be the source of a surprise for you today. When it comes to money, wealth and assets, be smart and stay on top of things. You snooze, you lose.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Don’t be surprised if a partner or close friend throws you a curveball today. Or perhaps, you will meet someone unusual? Something will occur because the Moon is opposite your sign and it is lined up with unpredictable Uranus, which means the people you encounter might surprise you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your work routine will be interrupted today almost certainly. Staff shortages, power outages, delays, equipment breakdowns as well as surprises when dealing with someone are likely. Therefore, be smart and give yourself extra time so that you have wiggle room to deal with the unexpected.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Parents should be extra alert today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, social occasions might suddenly change. They could be cancelled or – surprise! You receive a fun invitation to go somewhere! Who knew? Could go either way.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Something to do with your home routine will change today. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Perhaps someone unexpected will knock on your door? For starters, get dressed so that you are ready to deal with the unexpected. Stay on your toes.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign, which means you should pay attention to everything and be mindful. Think before you speak or act. You might meet new people today, especially someone unusual. Or someone might intrigue you?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Writer (James Bond creator) Ian Fleming (1908-1964) shares your birthday today. People are drawn to you because you’re interesting, friendly and entertaining. Personally, you have a busy, analytical mind. You observe a lot. This year, you have a strong zest for life! This is why you will socialize more and explore warm friendships with others. You might gain public recognition.

May 28, 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 Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

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

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on May 28 has an illumination of 4%. 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 May 28 the Moon is 27.72 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.

RCW 86: Historical Supernova Remnant

Image Credit & Copyright: Martin Pugh

Explanation: In 185 AD, Chinese astronomers recorded the appearance of a new star in the Nanmen asterism. That part of the sky is identified with Alpha and Beta Centauri on modern star charts. The new star was visible for months and is thought to be the earliest recorded supernova. This deep image shows emission nebula RCW 86, understood to be the remnant of that stellar explosion. The narrowband data trace gas ionized by the still expanding shock wave. Space-based images indicate an abundance of the element iron and lack of a neutron star or pulsar in the remnant, suggesting that the original supernova was Type Ia. Unlike the core collapse supernova explosion of a massive star, a Type Ia supernova is a thermonuclear detonation on a a white dwarf star that accretes material from a companion in a binary star system. Near the plane of our Milky Way galaxy and larger than a full moon on the sky this supernova remnant is too faint to be seen by eye though. RCW 86 is some 8,000 light-years distant and around 100 light-years across.
