October 21, 2022 Daily Horoscopes

Andromeda in Southern Skies

Image Credit & Copyright: Ian Griffin (Otago Museum)

Explanation: Looking north from southern New Zealand, the Andromeda Galaxy never gets more than about five degrees above the horizon. As spring comes to the southern hemisphere, in late September Andromeda is highest in the sky around midnight though. In a single 30 second exposure this telephoto image tracked the stars to capture the closest large spiral galaxy from Mount John Observatory as it climbed just over the rugged peaks of the south island’s Southern Alps. In the foreground, stars are reflected in the still waters of Lake Alexandrina. Also known as M31, the Andromeda Galaxy is one of the brightest objects in the Messier catalog, usually visible to the unaided eye as a small, faint, fuzzy patch. But this clear, dark sky and long exposure reveal the galaxy’s greater extent in planet Earth’s night, spanning nearly 6 full moons.

October 22, 2022 Current Moon Phase

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

A Thought for Today

Blessed be dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!

October 20, 2022 Daily Horoscopes

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or major decisions from 6:15 AM to 12:45 PM EDT today (3:15 AM to 9:45 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

After the Moon Alert today, you want to get better organized. Important discussions will take place with partners and close friends, and you know that if you’ve done your homework, these discussions will be productive. Check things out.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a solid day for you. Things will tend to go your way. Admittedly, conversations with coworkers might be heated, especially about ideas to improve your job or improve the appearance of something. You might be able to improve your health today. Bonus!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Quite likely, you have a strong focus on home today. Issues with kids might be emotional. (Be patient. Remember you were a kid once yourself.) Romantic issues will be heated today, which could cause a problem because someone feels obsessed about something. Lighten up!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a busy day with intense conversations. In particular, you might have strong feelings about a redecorating project or entertaining at home, which will make family discussions intense. You want to persuade others to see things from your point of view. (So say we all.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today your focus is on money, cash flow and earnings. Nevertheless, a discussion with a colleague, neighbour or sibling will be intense because you want to persuade them to agree with you, or see things from your point of view. You will probably succeed.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

For most of this day, (plus Friday and Saturday), the Moon is in your sign, which gives you an edge over all the other signs. That’s why intense, financial discussions might go in your favour today. Likewise, if you’re shopping and you are keen to buy something, you will probably get it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You have strong feelings today! In fact, you might feel obsessed about something. Possibly, it relates to your appearance or the appearance of something in your immediate surroundings. (Others often fail to understand how you are affected by your surroundings.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today is a bit of a mixed bag. In one way, you want to play things low-key from behind the scenes. That’s just fine. However, a conversation with a female acquaintance will be important to you. It might be a dispute about shared property or shared responsibilities.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today and tomorrow, you will be much more in the public eye than usual. In fact, some people might know personal details about your private life. This might be why you have such an intense discussion with a friend today, perhaps an artistic or creative choice?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

As this day wears on, your desire for adventure and stimulation will grow. Be smart. Satisfy this urge by doing something different! If you can travel, by all means, do so. Go someplace you’ve never been before. Be a tourist in your own town. Talk to people from other backgrounds and different cultures.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today, you might have a passionate encounter with someone from another culture. You might also have strong feelings about travel or legal or medical matters today. Meanwhile, take care of loose details with bills, taxes or shared property. Get your ducks lined up in a row. (Whew!)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

After the Moon Alert today, you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. No biggie. This simply requires accommodation, courtesy and an ability to listen to what someone else is saying, especially if you’re encountering disputes about shared values or shared property.

If Your Birthday Is Today

US Vice President, Kamala Harris (1964) shares your birthday today. You are compassionate, warm and fun-loving. Obstacles do not daunt you. This year is the last year of a nine-year cycle for you, which means it’s time to take inventory; and let go of people, places and possessions that have held you back. Good time to commune with nature.

Pillars of Creation

Image Credit: Science – NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, NIRCam
Processing – Joseph DePasquale (STScI), Anton M. Koekemoer (STScI), Alyssa Pagan (STScI)

Explanation: A now famous picture from the Hubble Space Telescope featured these star forming columns of cold gas and dust light-years long inside M16, the Eagle Nebula, dubbed the Pillars of Creation. This James Webb Space Telescope NIRCam image expands Hubble’s exploration of that region in greater detail and depth inside the iconic stellar nursery. Particularly stunning in Webb’s near infrared view is the telltale reddish emission from knots of material undergoing gravitational collapse to form stars within the natal clouds. The Eagle Nebula is some 6,500 light-years distant. The larger bright emission nebula is itself an easy target for binoculars or small telescopes. M16 lies along the plane of our Milky Way galaxy in a nebula rich part of the sky, toward the split constellation Serpens Cauda (the tail of the snake).

October 20, 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 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 October 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on October 20 has an illumination of 25%. 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 20 the Moon is 24.65 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.

Pagan and Magickal Terms and Definitions

Today’s Word is

Pagan

From moonlitpriestess.com

Formally meant “country dweller” and was used in the same way the terms hick, redneck, or hillbilly are today; often used today to refer to those not of Christian faith. An umbrella term encompassing various religions and spiritual practices and often defined differently among them; followers of polytheistic and non-Christian religions.

A Thought for Today

If today’s posts seem to have chaotic energy in them I apologize. I have my first court hearing for my divorce from  man who’s last name I still carry but have not seen in 21 years. I never had a reason to divorce him before but now that I am reunited with my twin flame, Lord Beltane a.k.a. Big Dawg and we are to be married as soon as we can after my divorce is final (his became final in August from his wife of 28 years) I want to get it over with so we can live the rest of the lifetime united not just by law but by a Handfasting also. Even though my soon to be ex-husband did not accept the paper telling him of today’s Zoom court date I am concerned that something will not go right. An irrational concern probably but I still am feeling that way. At least I get to do this court date from the comfort of my home so my anxiety level is not through the roof but it is still pretty high. Court starts at 10:30 AM CDT if you have read this by than I can use all the positive thoughts you care to send my way. I would have put off posting until after my court appearance but we have a lot of things to do today and I do not know if I would have the time to get both hemispheres posts for tomorrow done.

Please remember this is the annual fundraising time to renew the witchesofthecraft.com domain name. If the renewal fee is not paid by November 17, 2022 we will lose the WOTC domain name and anyone can take it over after 20+ years. Lady of the Abyss started this website when us pagans/witches had to hide in plain sight even more than we do now. WOTC was a pioneering witchcraft website back in the day but Lady Abyss started it after the Goddess told her to spread the word of what real witches/pagans and witchcraft are compared to how we have been stereotyped for centuries. I was blessed to receive this website as a gift from Lady abyss just a little over a month before she crossed into the Spirit Plane. She felt I could and I hope I am carrying on her work. See the post “Annual WOTC Fund Raiser” for more information on how you can help Lady Beltane secure the WOTC domain for another year. No proceeds from this fundraiser will be used for any other purpose but retain our domain name.

Blessed be dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Parents take note: This is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids so know where they are at all times and be extra careful with toddlers. Meanwhile, power struggles with partners and close friends might take place. (Perhaps because social plans are confused and up for grabs.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Your home routine will be interrupted today. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Surprise company might appear at your door. Do your best to keep harmony at home, especially if you work from home. Avoid power struggles.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is a mildly accident-prone day. However, you might be full of new ideas or stimulated by new encounters. Parents need to be patient with their kids. Romantic partners might be challenged. Stay mellow.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Something to do with your assets or your money is unpredictable today. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Avoid arguments with a family member. Keep harmony in the family.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you’re restless and impulsive. Because you might have an argument with someone, perhaps a sibling, relatives or daily contacts, be careful you don’t do something spontaneous that you will later regret. (Like flouncing out and forgetting your cell phone.) So embarrassing.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a restless day for you, and you might not even know why. Don’t worry about this because these feelings are temporary. However, power struggles about money, or about the ownership of something, or about a possession that you already own might arise today. Stay mellow.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today the Sun is in your sign at odds with big daddy Pluto, which is a sure sign of power struggles. These might be related to a surprise that you encounter with a friend, or dealing with a member of a group. It could be anything. Don’t get sidetracked with mind games. Make a plan and stick to it.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you might encounter some kind of upset or a surprise when dealing with parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs or the police. Whatever it is, it could provoke a power struggle. Hey, you don’t need this. Therefore, practice patience because patience is the antidote to anger.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Controversial subjects (like politics, religion or racial issues) might trigger arguments today. Travel plans might be delayed or cancelled; ditto for school schedules. Perhaps this is the reason you find yourself at odds with a friend or a member of a group? Don’t try to prove anything. Look for a solution.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a dicey day to deal with parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police because you might have a clash of personalities or a power struggle. Generally, this means you lose. Whatever happens, never underestimate the power of courtesy. (Meanwhile – check banking and shared property.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Arguments about politics, religion or racial issues might be tough to avoid today, especially because you have opinions about these issues. You are motivated to make the world a better place. (You like petitions. “Sign here, please.”) Don’t let this ruin relations with a close friend or partner today. Stay chill.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Interruptions to your work are likely today. For some of you, this could be a surprise that is health-related, or even something related to a pet. Pet owners should keep their eyes open. Meanwhile, power struggles about shared property, insurance issues or something to do with loans or mortgages might occur. Be careful.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor actress Rebecca Ferguson (1983) shares your birthday today. You are lively, charming and optimistic. You don’t hesitate to express your ideas. This is a strong year for you! Now you will reap the benefits of your hard work. Expect a promotion, acknowledgement, kudos or awards. You are admired.

A Galaxy Beyond Stars, Gas, Dust

Image Credit & Copyright: Howard Trottier; Text: Emily Rice

Explanation: Do we dare believe our eyes? When we look at images of space, we often wonder whether they are “real”, and just as often the best answer varies. In this case, the scene appears much as our eyes would see it, because it was obtained using RGB (Red, Green, Blue) filters like the cone cells in our eyes, except collecting light for 19 hours, not a fraction of a second. The featured image was captured over six nights, using a 24-inch diameter telescope in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in California, USA. The bright spiral galaxy at the center (NGC 7497) looks like it is being grasped by an eerie tendril of a space ghost, and therein lies the trick. The galaxy is actually 59 million light years away, while the nebulosity is MBM 54, less than one thousand light years away, making it one of the nearest cool clouds of gas and dust — galactic cirrus — within our own Milky Way Galaxy. Both are in the constellation of Pegasus, which can be seen high overhead from northern latitudes in the autumn.
