All Signs

This week generates a wide range of moods that swing from one extreme to the other. Hopeful inspiration and innovative ideas to stubbornness and pigheaded points of view. Oy! Nevertheless, there will be a fun-filled, buoyant energy to most of this week, especially Monday! (Good news for those celebrating July 4th.) This week Mars enters Taurus and Mercury enters Cancer. That’s a shift! We can expect an increased interest in food, restaurants and gardening. (Yum, yum.) Mercury in Cancer will also encourage activity at marinas, and a desire to tinker with engines. Boats or cars. (Obviously, these jobs require basic motor skills.)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Things are going well for you now, and will continue to go well this summer because lucky Jupiter is in your sign for the first time in 12 years. (Not too shabby!) Mars has just entered your Money House, which means you’re going to be tempted to make some big expenditures. Meanwhile, Venus will sweeten your words with everyone. In fact, it will heighten your appreciation of your daily world. (That’s nice.) Meanwhile, both the Sun and Mercury will channel your focus on home and family, especially to areas that need attention – home improvements and home repairs. (“This again? I just fixed it seven years ago!”)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Mars moves into your sign this week to stay for seven weeks. This will boost your energy and make you work hard to further your own interests. You will also assert yourself among others because you want to show the world what you can do. You will be more of a fighter for your own rights than usual. Your physical energy will be high, which is why physical sports and outdoor exercise will be a wise choice, in case you need to blow off any pent-up steam building up within you. You can really use this energy boost to your advantage! Meanwhile, Venus will attract money to you. It will also tempt you to buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. (Taurus loves antiques and fine things.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Fair Venus continues in your sign for the next two weeks making you charming and diplomatic with everyone. This is a good time for you to make peace with others. It’s also an excellent time to relax because Venus always ranks pleasure above work. Take advantage of this influence and shop for wardrobe goodies for yourself. Meanwhile, this week, Mercury joins the Sun in your Money House, which means you will be more concerned with business and commercial affairs than usual. You might negotiate about money, property or possessions. You might also feel the need to define your values to someone else.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The next few weeks are the perfect time for you to formulate goals and start to actively pursue them. Why? For starters, this is the only time all year the Sun is in your sign. (This boosts your confidence and helps you to make a great impression on others.) Furthermore, because it’s your birthday month, you have that sense of “new beginnings”. Plus, Mercury is in your sign as well, which make you chatty and full of lots of ideas! Meanwhile, physical activity with friends, especially athletics, will be an excellent choice for you because Mars likes to be active. In particular, Mars likes to win!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Both the Sun and Mercury are hiding in your chart, which means, you are happy to take a backseat and “hide” yourself. (Ideally, in luxurious comfort with good food and drink. Let’s be real.) Nevertheless, countering this desire to seek peace and quiet, fiery Mars has moved to the top of your chart, and this arouses your ambition! In addition, Venus has just moved into the part of your chart that heightens warm interactions with friends and groups. So, in one way, you want to hide in comfort. Yet at other times, you want to enjoy group settings, conferences and classes because relations with others are cozy and warm! Go figure. Life is full of contradictions.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your popularity continues! You are encountering younger people more than usual in your immediate circle of friends; and you’re keen to exchange ideas and be in the company of others, especially groups. At the same time, your interest in making goals is strong now. You’re giving a lot of thought to your life expectations. No doubt this will include travel plans because you have a strong urge to get outta Dodge! This is why you are looking for ways to travel this summer because you need a change of scenery! Although you might have high hopes of distant travel and thrilling destinations, ironically, you just need a change. You don’t have to go far to get a change. (But you do have to get dressed and get out of your home.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Both the Sun and Mercury are at the top of your chart, which makes you look good! Mercury will encourage you to make plans about your professional life, which might mean new training or new studies. You’re also interested to talk to bosses or employers to advance your position. Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, you want to travel. Oh yes! You love schmoozing in great hotels and resorts with excellent room service. (Your idea of roughing it is when the air-conditioning is weak.) Disputes about inheritances and shared property might occur. Fortunately, because you look so good to people in power, you’re in an excellent position for a favourable outcome. (Use what you got.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You want to travel or do something to get a change of scenery because you’re hungry for adventure! (Some of you will find new studies rewarding and stimulating as well because the discovery of new ideas and new information will be thrilling.) Do make note that if you have disputes with others about inheritances or shared property, you will have the upper hand and the outcome will be favourable to you. In fact, gifts, goodies and favours from others will come your way. Personally, romance is very passionate right now. Not only passionate but deeply affectionate. This is a good thing because with Mars opposite your sign for the next six weeks, you might be irritated with others. (Ouch.) Patience is your best ally.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Lucky you! Mars just moved into your House of Work, which means you’re gung-ho to get things done! This is why you will throw your energy into working hard, and why you will be able to defer tomorrow’s pleasure for today’s work. (I’m impressed.) Nevertheless, fair Venus is opposite your sign, which is the best place for it to be for all of your relationships – love affairs, friendships and professional partnerships. This means that while you are so keen to work, at the same time, you get along well with others. They might even help you! This is perfect because you want to do some outdoor entertaining, as well as enjoy sports events and playful activities with kids. It’s all coming together for you!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Because Mars is now in your fellow Earth sign (where it will stay until late August) your energy is getting a lovely boost! In particular, you will seek out ways to be playful and sportive because you want to have fun and pleasure! Expect to socialize more as you enjoy entertaining diversions, sports events and playful times with kids. This is the perfect time for a vacation! Even romance will be hot and sexy. This is appropriate because with the Sun and Mercury now opposite your sign, you are focused more than usual on partnerships and close relationships. This will help you to discuss matters with greater objectivity, especially how to improve the relationship. Even your health will improve!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are still eager to get organized and work hard to accomplish as much as possible. In fact, now that Mercury has changed signs, you will be more hands-on than ever – digging in to get things done! Small wonder because Mars is stirring things up on the home front. Visiting guests, relatives and family get-togethers will create increased activity where you live, and this demands your attention. Meanwhile, you’re happy to entertain others. In fact, you’re up for good times! Nevertheless, enjoying a vacation, as well as entertaining others, takes work, energy and planning. Fortunately, you now have the energy to make this happen! In addition, you’re in a positive frame of mind, which is the key to every successful operation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Starting this week, you are cranking up your efforts to have a good time. You want to party! You want to enjoy vacations. You want to have time off. This is why you will delight in sports events and enjoy playful activities with kids. Your ability to communicate to others will be forceful and to the point, which is good news for those of you who sell, write, teach and act. Your days will get busier. You will entertain more at home as well as redecorate your digs because you want to make everything to come together! And you want to express your creative energy! And of course, an increase to your earnings and wealth is another reason to be happy! How suite it is.

A Thought for Today

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!

Moon Alert

avoid shopping and important decisions from 5:45 AM until 8:45 AM EDT today (2:45 AM until 5:45 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you want to get things done. You want to be efficient, practical and productive. This attitude alone could help you resolve loose ends that have been a challenge this week. With your ruler, fiery Mars in your sign, you’re all systems go!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Make today a day of rest because you need it. Take time to replenish and restore yourself with recreational activities and a fun escape of any kind, preferably a mini-vacation. Social diversions and playful activities with kids will delight.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You have been busy socializing because your ruler Mercury and Venus are in your sign making you charming, diplomatic and eager to talk to others. Today you want to escape the busyness around you and cocoon at home. Find ways to kick back and relax.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

With the Sun still in your sign, you continue to make a fabulous impression on others. Today in particular, you’re eager to talk to someone at a “gut level” of communication. You don’t want to waste time on superficial chitchat.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today it’s easy to identify with your possessions, which is why you will like to be surrounded by the things that you own and enjoy. (Obviously, you might not want to lend something to someone.) Nevertheless, relations with younger, creative people are positive. Your desire to travel is still strong.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You feel more emotional than usual today because the Moon is in your sign. However, this will tend to improve your good luck. You can use the advantage you have talking to bosses, parents and VIPs because they will be ready to listen to you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re happy to keep a low profile today. You prefer to work alone or behind the scenes if possible. Note: You might not pull this off because the Sun at the top of your chart is casting you in a flattering spotlight, which will attract others to you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’re doing your best at work or with whatever task that you set for yourself. (Give yourself a pat on the back. Too often, we think of our faults instead of our accomplishments.) Today a warm conversation with a female acquaintance could be meaningful. It might make you change your goals.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Something to do with your professional or business life might be tested today. Certain secrets about yourself might be revealed. Be careful not to blur the lines of authority because you feel friendly with a boss. This is a tricky situation. Friendly is good; chummy – not so much.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Do something to “get away from all this” if you can because you need to escape. You need a change of scenery so you can emotionally kickstart yourself. Keep in mind that this month you need more sleep than usual.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re in a lovely position right now because you want to work hard, and get better organized. This means you have the motivation. But in addition to this, the placement of Mars and Jupiter in your chart will give you the positive energy and follow through that you need to do the job. Yay!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today you have to go more than half way when dealing with others. That’s just the way it is. This is no biggie. It simply means you have to be cooperative, accommodating and ready to listen. You can do this.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Tom Cruise (1962) shares your birthday today. You are a perfectionist who sets high standards for yourself. You are versatile, charismatic and intelligent. You are private, even shy about your personal life. This year is the last year of a nine-year cycle, which means it’s time to wrap things up and let go of what is no longer relevant in your world.

Pagan and Magickal Terms and Definitions

Today’s Word is

Ceremonial Magick

From moonlitpriestess.com

Typically less religious and more philosophical and intellectual in nature; often focused on Western Mystery traditions; characterized by emphasis on prescribed sets of rituals, formulaic words, tools, symbols, etc. May be referred to as “high magick” which was a classist term used to differentiate the ceremonial magick of the elite classes from the folk magick of peasants.

Phobos: Doomed Moon of Mars

Image Credit: HiRISE, MRO, LPL (U. Arizona), NASA

Explanation: This moon is doomed. Mars, the red planet named for the Roman god of war, has two tiny moons, Phobos and Deimos, whose names are derived from the Greek for Fear and Panic. These martian moons may well be captured asteroids originating in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter or perhaps from even more distant reaches of our Solar System. The larger moon, Phobos, is indeed seen to be a cratered, asteroid-like object in this stunning color image from the robotic Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, with objects as small as 10 meters visible. But Phobos orbits so close to Mars – about 5,800 kilometers above the surface compared to 400,000 kilometers for our Moon – that gravitational tidal forces are dragging it down. In perhaps 50 million years, Phobos is expected to disintegrate into a ring of debris.

The Sun Is Being Weird. It Could Be Because We’re Looking at It All Wrong

Something weird is going on with the Sun.

So far, almost every day in 2022 it has erupted in flares and coronal mass ejections, some of which were the most powerful eruptions our star is capable of.

By itself, an erupting Sun is not weird. It erupts regularly as it goes through periods of high and low activity, in cycles that last roughly 11 years.

The current activity is significantly higher than the official NASA and NOAA predictions for the current solar cycle, and solar activity has consistently exceeded predictions as far back as September 2020. But a solar scientist will tell you that even this isn’t all that weird.

“We can’t reliably predict solar cycles,” solar astrophysicist Michael Wheatland of the University of Sydney, Australia told ScienceAlert.

“We don’t completely understand the solar dynamo, which generates the magnetic fields seen at the surface as sunspots, and which produce flares. This is one of the outstanding problems in astrophysics; the inaccuracy in the prediction is unsurprising.”

Unsurprising, sure. But what if that very lack of surprise – that we expect to be bad at predicting solar cycles – means we need to completely rethink how we do it? What if we’re basing our predictions on the wrong metric?
