Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. Naturally, this will heighten and intensify your feelings, and possibly create stress with partners and close friends. You can counter this by being patient because patience is the antidote to anger.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Mild health issues, as well as feeling vaguely out of sorts, might manifest for you today because of the energy of the Full Moon. Fortunately, this subsides within 48 hours. In fact, some minor problems related to your job might come to a head and be resolved.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Parents must be patient with their kids today; and likewise, romantic partners must be patient with each other because the Full Moon energy can stir things up! Nevertheless, it will not override your desire to socialize and have a fun time. Enjoy yourself.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today, you might feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career or your public reputation. (This is a classic Full Moon dynamic.) You can’t please everyone. In this particular instance, do not ignore home and family, especially a parent.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Pay attention to what you’re doing today, and to what you say to others because the Full Moon is inclined to make you blurt things out that you might later regret. In fact, it can introduce a mildly accident-prone influence for your sign, so be careful. Be alert and mindful.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Money disputes or disagreements about shared property might arise today because of the Full Moon. However, problems always increase before the Full Moon, and then after it peaks, these same problems diminish or even disappear. This might be the solution you need.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today, the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. This will tend to increase tension with those who are closest to you – friends, spouses and partners. Fortunately, you are a diplomat who knows how to steady things. Use your skills, and this tension will quickly pass.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Difficulties at work, or possibly with your health, might arise today because of the Full Moon energy. It’s good to know that in 48 hours, these difficulties will be resolved or greatly reduced. Fingers crossed. Relax. Similarly, you might have difficulties that relate to a pet. Easy does it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Parents need to be patient with kids today. You will also need to be patient with others in social situations, or anything to do with sports and athletics, because today the Full Moon can produce aggression and heightened reactions. Therefore, be forgiving and take everything with a grain of salt.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Dealing with authority figures, parents and the police might be challenging today because of the Full Moon energy. This is a poor day to be stubborn about anything. Instead, show deference and respect to authority figures while this intense energy exists. (Gone in 48 hours.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Pay attention to what you do because today is a mildly accident-prone day for you. Similarly, you might find yourself in an argument with someone about something trivial. This is because of the heightened Full Moon energy taking place in your chart. Relax. No biggie.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Money disputes might arise today. Or perhaps a disagreement about a possession, or something you own, or how to use something that someone else owns? This squabble could be due to the heightened Full Moon energy. After the Full Moon peaks, these problems will resolve themselves. Stay calm.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Organizing expert Marie Kondo (1984) shares your birthday today. You are articulate and you love to debate. (Although you want harmonious relationships with others.) Partnerships are important to you. This year is a time of reflection. Look at past experiences to see what not to repeat. New studies and the exploration of new philosophies and life belief systems will appeal.

Pagan and Magickal Terms and Definitions

Today’s Word is 

Cleansing 

From moonlitpriestess.com 

The act of removing or neutralizing energy in a space, object, or person.

A Thought for Today

Until tomorrow and all through your lifetime dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive! 

I have all of the northern hemisphere’s regular daily posts for tomorrow ready to go. I have the same for the southern hemisphere’s tomorrow. YEAH! I am finally more or less ready to get out of the dark playground in my mind and start living for just today again. The old saying, “If you have one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow you will piss all over today.” I have been straddling today for too long and feel that have been unfair to all of you. I am very grateful to everyone for being supportive, understanding and patient with me not posting as I work through things and illnesses. I will not say my clinical depression and anxiety disorder are totally under control again, but I am working on getting them controlled enough that I am not afraid to leave me home. Yes, I have been staying in my home basically 24/7 unless there is something I have to do that I cannot pawn off onto Lord Beltane. But to leave my home and yard I am picturing myself as a tiny mouse in a maze that no other human can see me in otherwise, I would feel like everyone is staring at me and whispering about me. I truly hope that me writing about my depression and anxiety has reached at least one person to realize they are not alone with how they feel and that I validate their feelings.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping and important decisions from 7 AM to 12:15 PM EDT today (4 AM to 9:15 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Pisces into Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

After the Moon moves into Aries today, you have that feeling that everything is just fine! You’re happy! This is why you will feel generous to others and want to help wherever you can. Others will respond in kind. This is a good thing.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is an excellent day for meditation, introspection and quiet time to think about your values. You might also entertain lighter ideas and decide what makes you happy? What can you do to give yourself a treat today? (You love good food and drink.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a wonderful day to relate to groups and organizations. Time spent with a friend will be rewarding. If you have to speak to a group, you will be convincing. In fact, you can expect support from others because you will rally them to your cause.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You make a wonderful impression on others today. Everyone, especially bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs, will see you as successful, affluent, generous and kind. (It sounds a bit much, doesn’t it?) Nevertheless, enjoy your good press.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you’re keen to travel or have a change of scenery because you want adventure and stimulation in your life! If you can’t travel, then go someplace you’ve never been before. It will also excite you to learn something fascinating or meet interesting people.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

If you’re dealing with financial matters today, especially related to debt, inheritances, important insurance issues – do not sign anything important during the Moon Alert. (See above.) However, these discussions will tend to go your way because you will attract favours and wealth to you today.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is an excellent day to deal with members of the public or talk to large groups because you will easily establish a strong rapport with others. You will intuitively know what to say so that they agree with you. Today you will get what you give, especially in terms of kindness and friendship.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your health will feel invigorated today. You might also have affectionate, playful times with a pet that give you joy. Look for ways to improve your job or get a better job because they do exist. However, agree to nothing important during the Moon Alert. Wait until it’s over.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a great day to schmooze and have fun. In particular, you will enjoy activities with groups or interacting with the general public. This is also a wonderful day to participate in or watch sports events, as well as fun activities with kids.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Do entertain at home today because people are in an upbeat mood. Furthermore, they are generous, which means everyone is open to helping each other. By extension, some of you might discover a profitable real-estate deal today. (Check Moon Alert.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Because you are optimistic and upbeat today, you will enjoy hanging out with relatives, neighbours and siblings, mainly because they will enjoy hanging out with you. This is a great day for a short trip. It is also a good time to study or learn something new.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might see ways to boost your income today or to make a profit or to increase your wealth in some way because these opportunities do exist. However, do nothing during the Moon Alert: from 7 AM to 12:15 PM EDT today (4 AM to 9:15 AM PDT. Wait until it’s over.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Matt Damon (1970) shares your birthday today. You are a creative person who is a charming conversationalist. People like you. You are talented in many areas. You are casual, yet, decisive. This year is about service, especially to family. Therefore, you have to take care of yourself so that you can be a support to others. Time for a makeover?

October 8, 2022 Current Moon Phase

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 Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

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

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on October 8 has an illumination of 98%. 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 October 8 the Moon is 13.32 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.
