Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or big decisions after 5:30 PM EDT today (2:30 PM PDT). The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Avoid being righteous today, which is a temptation. When it comes to politics, religion or your personal beliefs, you might want to challenge others, especially because you have the support of someone older or more experienced. But what is the point? A pyrrhic victory? Remember: There are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Disputes about some kind of financial arrangement, shared property, taxes, insurance matters or an inheritance might arise today. Perhaps, you will appeal to the authority of someone older or in power. More likely, you will gain ground by joining the efforts of coworkers.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might feel annoyed with a close friend or partner today, especially about traditional beliefs or politics. Instead, focus on fun-loving, entertaining diversions. Why not? Accept invitations to party and socialize. Enjoy sports events and fun activities with kids. Have fun!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a lovely day to entertain at home or to invite people to congregate where you live. You might show off new ways you have improved your home. Admittedly, disputes concerning pets, your health, or your job might sidetrack you. Don’t waste your energy. Go with what works.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Parents might find relations with their kids to be challenging today. It happens. It certainly goes with the territory. Assistance from someone older might help. Meanwhile, interactions with siblings, relatives and neighbours will be upbeat. Enjoy a short trip.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a good day for financial matters plus business and commerce. In fact, you might resurrect old ideas or finish a project, which ultimately leads to increased earnings or a financial boon for you. Don’t waste time on domestic squabbles, especially with female relatives. You don’t need this.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You like harmony around you. (This is why you are a people pleaser.) Avoid arguments with daily contacts today, which might easily arise. Instead, focus on relations with partners and close friends, which will be warm and supportive. Avoid disagreeable people because life is short (and fat.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Steer clear of financial disputes, because they might ruin your day instead. Instead, enjoy quiet times with yourself and a few others in a private way. Good news about your health, as well as fun times with pets, will be a source of pleasure. Be happy!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is the classic day for an irritable exchange with a friend or partner because you’re both annoyed or you disagree with each other. Try to set that aside so that you can focus on interactions with clubs or groups, or a friend who is creative and artistic. This will save your day.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It might be tough dealing with someone today, especially because you feel you can’t speak up. (You’re doing a slow boil behind the scenes, which is frustrating.) Fortunately, relations with parents, bosses and family members are positive. Go with what works.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Difficulties with kids, social situations or sports events might arise today. Your best option is to sidestep these difficult situations, which will only lead to some grief. Instead, talk to relatives, daily contacts and siblings because these interactions will be upbeat and pleasant.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Family squabbles and domestic challenges might take place today. Avoid these if you can. Ironically, this is an excellent day for business and commerce plus financial negotiations. If you play your cards right, money, gifts and goodies will come to you. Go where your bread is buttered! (This is a no-brainer.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

The 38th US President Jimmy Carter (1924) shares your birthday today. You are dignified. Even though are charming and likable, you like to be in control. You are confident and proud of your efforts to work hard. This year you reap the benefits of all your hard work because others notice your talents. You might be in the spotlight!

Scientists Studying Earth’s Trees Issue a Stark Warning to Humanity

From soaring coastal redwoods to dinosaur-era Wollemi pines and firs that make the perfect Christmas trees, even our most revered woody plants are in an awful lot of trouble.

But it turns out that losing some species won’t just endanger local forests; it will threaten entire ecosystems, says a new study.

Last year, a global assessment titled State of the World’s Trees found a shocking one-third of all tree species are currently teetering on the edge of existence.

This amounts to about 17,500 unique tree species that are endangered.

That’s more than double the number of all threatened tetrapods (mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles).

Some trees are so rare that only a single known individual remains, like the lonesome palm in Mauritius, Hyophorbe amaricaulis.

In a new paper, the same team of researchers behind the State of the World’s Trees reports issues a “warning to humanity” about the consequences of these losses, backed by 45 other scientists from 20 different countries.

Conservation biologist Malin Rivers from Botanic Gardens Conservation International and colleagues outline the many impacts these losses will have on our economies, livelihoods, and food.

Most of our fruit comes from trees, as do many nuts and medicines, with non-timber products amounting to about US$88 billion worth of trade.

In the developing world, 880 million people rely on firewood for fuel, and 1.6 billion people live within 5 kilometers (3 miles) of a forest, relying on them for food and income.

All up, trees contribute about US$1.3 trillion annually to the global economy, yet…

Equinox Sunrise Around the World

Collage Image Copyright: Luca Vanzella

Explanation: A planet-wide collaboration resulted in this remarkable array of sunrise photographs taken around the September 2022 equinox. The images were contributed by 24 photographers, one in each of 24 nautical time zones around the world. Unlike more complicated civil time zone boundaries, the 24 nautical time zones are simply 15 degree longitude bands corresponding to 1 hour steps that span the globe. Start at the upper right for the first to experience a sunrise in the nautical time zone corresponding to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) + 12 hours. In that time zone, the photographer was located in Christchurch, New Zealand. Travel to the west by looking down the column and then moving to the column toward the left for later sunrises as the time zone offset in hours from UTC decreases. Or, you can watch a video of September 2022 equinox sunrises around planet Earth.

Tarot Card

From The Celtic Dragon Tarot by D.J. Conway

Pages 140 – 141

King of Cups – A Minor Arcana Court Card

Emotional events

A regal, older man stands before a throne made of shell. He wears a crown with pearls on the spiky tips. In one he holds a chalice trimmed with scallop shells. His other hand lies wrapped around the throne. The throne stands on a beach, strewn with shells, starfish, and driftwood. The King of Cups has moved to a state of being where he is no longer ruled by the tides of emotion. He has earned his throne, which represents security and stability in the mist of emotions (the water of the sea). His crown with pearls symbolizes spiritual enlightenment found in the sacred center of every human, the discovery of which enabled him to escape the emotional extremes of life. The shells (continuing life from one cycle to another) and the starfish (pentacle of protection) have come from the sea, which is the cauldron of creation and rebirth. Through the King’s companionship with the Water dragon he has learned how to use emotional energy in a more positive way.

Divinatory Meaning: This card represents a loving and caring masculine influence. There is a possiblity of a journey across water. You may experience an episode of up and down emotions.

The Self

Remain modest – that is the right of the oracle.  Be in the world, but not from the world.  Stay receptive to impulses, that come out of the divine in the inner and outer sphere.  Seek  to live the usual life in an unusual manner.

Beith/Beth

Beith, or Beth, corresponds to the letter B in the alphabet, and is associated with the Birch tree. When this symbol is used, it is representative of new beginnings, change, release, and rebirth. In some traditions, it also has connections with purification.

Birch trees are hardy. They’ll grow just about anywhere, including on bare soil. Because they tend to grow in clusters, what may be just one or two seedlings now can be practically an entire forest in a few decades. In addition to being a sturdy sort of tree, the Birch is useful. In days gone by, it was used for infants’ cradles, and is still harvested today to make cabinets and furniture.

From a magical perspective, there are a number of uses for Birch. The branches are traditionally incorporated into the construction of a besom, and are used for the bristles. Use the white outer bark in ritual in place of paper or parchment–just be sure you only harvest the bark from a fallen Birch tree, not a living one. Ancient herbalists discovered that various parts of this tree can be used for medicinal purposes. Bark was once brewed into a tea to fight fevers, and the leaves were used alternately as a laxative and a diuretic, depending on how they were prepared.

Beith Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: When this symbol appears, it means it’s time to get rid of all those negative influences you’ve been carrying around with you. Figure out what things are bad in your life, which relationships are toxic, and find a way to leave them behind. Instead of being dragged down by the negative, focus on the positive things you have in your life, the blessings and abundance. Use these things as a focus, rather than the harmful or damaging ones.

Magical Aspects: Consider the property of renewal and rebirth, as demonstrated by the Birch. Use this as a tool for spiritual and emotional regrowth, and developing your own ability to regenerate where there has been emptiness or devastation.

Hexagram Fifty – Nine 59

Huan / Dissolution

Wind carries the Mists aloft:
Sage rulers dedicated their lives to serving a Higher Power and built temples that still endure.

The King approaches his temple.
Success if you stay on course.
You may cross to the far shore.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Walls meant to protect have instead separated and isolated.
Your defenses have kept you apart from those whom you most need to touch.
Whatever the reason for discord between you, it is time to lay down your arms.
Dispel the inflexible demands and fears of the Mind so that you may reunite in the Heart.
If you have begrudged, forgive.
If you have torn down, repair.
If you have injured, heal.
If you have judged, pardon.
If you have grasped, let go.

Nine

Nine, as one of the core numerological numbers, implies idealism turned into the main principle of life. Figuratively speaking, you do not pretend to understand the purpose of the Creator, but hope that things are arranged reasonably and end well. Everything else is derived from this. You are kind as you don’t feel entitled to increase the amount of evil in the world. You display exceptional intuition and insight because you are afraid of accidentally causing someone harm or doing someone wrong. You love people because you think this is the only opportunity to make them happy.

The main positive qualities of the Nine are good will to all people without exception, the ability to be sympathetic and to show mercy to those who need it.

Moreover, you have natural charm, the ability to awaken good feelings. Apparently, this quality is granted to you as an additional tool for the promotion of your views of life.

It would be fair to say that you also use this feature for other purposes. Sensual component of…
