Moon Alert

After 2:45 AM PDT today there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The New Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Note: Parents should be vigilant today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, social plans might catch you off guard. Something might be cancelled or you might receive an unexpected invitation to go somewhere? Sports events will have a surprising outcome. Good day for beginnings.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today’s New Moon is a good time to start a home project or begin something to do with real estate. However, family discussions will be erratic, possibly nerve-racking. Meanwhile, surprise company might drop by. (Stock the fridge so you’re ready for anything.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is an accident-prone day for you. Nevertheless, you are full of clever, genius-like ideas today! In fact, this is an excellent day to initiate a new project or begin something new and fresh. (Just be careful.) Ideas?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Watch your money and your belongings today because something unexpected could impact them. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Protect what you own from loss, theft or damage. Meanwhile, a new financial venture might begin.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the only New Moon in your sign all year is taking place, which means it’s the perfect day for you to begin something new or start a new adventure. Nevertheless, you might find yourself at odds with a parent, boss or someone in authority. (Duck and cover.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You feel restless today. You have that feeling that you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. (Invariably, ugly and in the wrong size.) Possibly, you are disturbed by social media, or something in the news, or someone’s political ideas or religious philosophy. Welcome to the club, we number millions.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might meet a real character today, which could be interesting. Or perhaps someone you already know will do something that surprises you? Something about your relationship to a group or an organization might also catch you off guard. Meanwhile, this is a good day to set new goals.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

“Do not trifle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.” This is a not-so-subtle warning for you today to steer clear of authority figures – parents, bosses and the police – who might be on the rampage. Don’t go looking for trouble today. It will find you!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Travel plans might suddenly change today. Likewise, issues related to the law, medicine and higher education might suddenly be reversed or go in a new direction. Whatever happens is anyone’s guess. Nevertheless, it’s an excellent day to make new plans. (Go figure.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Double check banking details and anything to do with shared property and inheritances because something might suddenly change today; and it could impact your wealth. Therefore, be in the know! (You snooze, you lose.) This is an excellent day to try a new arrangement. (See Moon Alert above.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Conversations with partners and close friends will be stimulating and fascinating today. Ideas are flashing through your head at an amazing speed, which is why exchanges with others will be impulsive and fast-paced. Don’t make promises without a Get Out of Jail card. A new relationship might begin today.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Interruptions because of staff shortages, or the breakdown of equipment, machinery problems, computer glitches and late deliveries might be frustrating today. Nevertheless, you might have some clever, new ideas about how to improve things for the future. Speak up with your suggestions because they might be worthwhile!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Humanitarian Terry Fox (1958-1981) shares your birthday today. People notice you because you are free-spirited and optimistic. It shows. You are compassionate because you understand the needs of others. You have amazing perseverance. This is a year of change and increased personal freedom for you. Be ready to meet new friends and explore new horizons!

July 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 New Moon phase. During this phase the Moon is too close to the sun in the sky to be visible. The moon rises and sets with the sun and is not present in the night sky. Because of this the night sky is darker and an excellent time to view other celestial objects. Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.

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

The New Moon on July 28 has an illumination of 0%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day.

A Thought for Today

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today until 8:45 PM EDT (5:45 PM to 11:45 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Cancer into Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be patient with family members today, especially female relatives (this includes Mom) because this entire week is challenging for relations with others. People are quick to argue! Situations are volatile! Be smart. Be nice to family and relatives.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It’s important to be aware that fiery Mars is in your sign for the next four weeks. (This happens only once every two years and when it occurs it makes you aggressive, energetic and active!) Meanwhile, today, emotional disputes with others might occur. Be nice to the little people.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Disputes with others might arise today; or perhaps they are arguments about something that you own or something related to your earnings? Because you are tempted to spend money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones, someone might object to a recent purchase? Stay calm and keep your receipts.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign opposing Pluto, which is a strong indication that you’ll have power struggles with others. These power struggles can be manipulative and guilt inducing. Or they might just be tiny struggles of one upmanship. (Oy vey.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are empowered now because both the Sun and Mercury are in your sign. This makes you confident and articulate – ready to state your views to anyone. Nevertheless, today something going on behind the scenes might put you off. Just let it pass. (Drink lots of water.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Power struggles with a friend or a member of a group are likely today, especially with a female. Perhaps this is about goals or ideologies, or the direction or mandate of a club or a group, especially a nonprofit association. (Sometimes you have to go along to get along.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Power struggles with bosses, parents or the police might take place today. Fortunately, your ruler Venus is high in your chart, and this will increase your ability to be diplomatic and charming. Charm can diffuse a difficult situation! (Never underestimate the power of courtesy.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Powerful forces are at work today, which is why you might have an intense encounter with someone, especially about issues in the media or something to do with politics, religion or race. Whatever happens, these will reveal the inner workings of you both. (Oh yeah.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Get your facts straight before you go out on a limb or argue issues related to shared property, inheritances and insurance disputes because these kinds of power struggles might take place today. Do your homework so that you’re prepared to defend yourself with facts.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might encounter guilt, jealousy or over-possessiveness today when dealing with a friend, partner or spouse. All that nasty stuff. Basically, it’s probably about power and control. Try to be objective. With encounters like this, there are no winners.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Heated debates about issues at work might take place today. They might be about introducing reforms or better ways of doing things, while others resist because they like the way things have always been done. Or you might disagree with someone about health-related issue. “Stay calm and carry on.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Quarrels or difficulties dealing with your kids are something you might encounter today. Or perhaps a power struggle about a social situation – how something is done, when you leave, where you go, who picks up the tab – that sort of thing. Cope as best you can and be gracious.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress, comedian Maya Rudolph (1972) shares your birthday today. You are friendly, upbeat and warm when dealing with others. You are also observant and alert. People like your cheerful playfulness. This year you are working hard to build important foundations in your life. They might be physical structures or structures within that strengthen you. Be open to business dealings and new projects.

Crepuscular Moon Rays over Denmark

Image Credit & Copyright: Ruslan Merzlyakov (astrorms)

Explanation: This moon made quite an entrance. Typically, a moonrise is quiet and serene. Taking a few minutes to fully peek above the horizon, Earth’s largest orbital companion can remain relatively obscure until it rises high in the nighttime sky. About a week ago, however, and despite being only half lit by the Sun, this rising moon put on a show — at least from this location. The reason was that, as seen from Limfjord in Nykøbing Mors, Denmark, the moon rose below scattered clouds near the horizon. The result, captured here in a single exposure, was that moonlight poured through gaps in the clouds to created what are called crepuscular rays. These rays can fan out dramatically across the sky when starting near the horizon, and can even appear to converge on the other side of the sky. Well behind our Moon, stars from our Milky Way galaxy dot the background, and our galaxy’s largest orbital companion — the Andromeda galaxy — can be found on the upper left.
