After a very stressful day yesterday that did not end until 2:00 this morning and only getting 4 hours of sleep my whole body hurts and my mind is mush. With a bad fibromyalgia flare and migraine I am in no shape to post today. With some self pampering and rest today I will be back tomorrow.
I wish you all a fantastic Friday. Blessings for health and all positive things to come your way yoday.

I have been using a HotsSpot connection through my cellphone this week because my internet was turned off Monday and I will not have internet service again until October 17th. I spent over an hour on the phone with my internet provider to get hooked back up. Which has given me a migraine and anxiety attack and I am out of my medication for both of them. I still have to call the number for low income internet service help and than call my provider back with an account number or something. I am taking the rest of the day off from posting because I am already ready to blow a casket. If you would send me some calming energy I would really appreciate it.
I am sorry I had the wrong date in the title for today’s daily horoscope. These horoscopes are for today Thursday, October 13, 2022.

Explanation: What are those strange rings? Rich in dust, the rings are likely 3D shells — but how they were created remains a topic of research. Where they were created is well known: in a binary star system that lies about 6,000 light years away toward the constellation of the Swan (Cygnus) — a system dominated by the Wolf-Rayet star WR 140. Wolf-Rayet stars are massive, bright, and known for their tumultuous winds. They are also known for creating and dispersing heavy elements such as carbon which is a building block of interstellar dust. The other star in the binary is also bright and massive — but not as active. The two great stars joust in an oblong orbit as they approach each other about every eight years. When at closest approach, the X-ray emission from the system increases, as, apparently, does the dust expelled into space — creating another shell. The featured infrared image by the new Webb Space Telescope resolves greater details and more dust shells than ever before.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Gibbous Phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon occurs. It lasts roughly 7 days with the Moon’s illumination growing smaller each day until the Moon becomes a Last Quarter Moon with an illumination of 50%. The average Moon rise for this phase is between 9pm and Midnight depending on the age of the phase. The moon rises later and later each night setting after sunrise in the morning. During this phase the Moon can also be seen in the early morning daylight hours on the western horizon.
Visit the October 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
The Waning Gibbous on October 14 has an illumination of 79%. 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 14 the Moon is 19.27 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.
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.

Avoid shopping or major decisions after 5:30 PM EDT today (2:30 PM to 10:15 PM PDT). The Moon is in Taurus.
This is a pretty solid week on the whole; however, today it’s easy for you to overestimate something or promise more than you can deliver. Be aware of this before you volunteer for anything or make an important commitment. Resist that impulse!
Today the Moon is in your sign, which brings you a little bit of extra good luck. This means you will be supported and fortified in your efforts to get your job done today. Form working units or work with groups to get the best results. Don’t be overly ambitious. Be realistic.
Today your ruler Mercury is dancing with Jupiter, which increases your optimism and confidence. This is a good thing. (However, it is possible that things look a bit better than they really are.) Keep this in mind if you’re doing financial transactions or making promises to someone.
Family discussions are upbeat today! Perhaps you are excited about home repairs or redecorating projects or entertaining because you do have a strong focus on home and family at this time. You might be feeding a gang! Be careful about overestimating something today.
Today you are the optimist. You might begin by having such a busy schedule, it will be difficult to do everything including short trips, errands, appointments and talking to siblings, relatives and daily contacts. Oh yes, you want it all! Don’t bite off more than you can chew.
Today you might be focused on financial matters and business negotiations, including a major purchase, perhaps. If this is the case, be careful about going overboard, or expecting too much, or going along with something that looks too good to be true. Maybe it is.
This is a happy, upbeat day for you. Not only is the Sun in your sign, but Mercury is in your sign as well, dancing with lucky Jupiter. Today you will be full of grand thinking and be quick to see the big picture. Others will see you as competent, even cocksure. (Nobody likes smug.)
This is a feel-good day for you because you have a warm feeling in your tummy about things. It’s a relatively low-key day for you, which is why you will prefer working alone or behind the scenes. Nevertheless, you feel optimistic and confident about whatever you’re doing. Order in your favourite take out.
Discussions with friends or groups will be positive today. If you are involved in a conference, or any kind of planning session, or important discussions, you’re ready to think big! All this as well and good but do not forget about the little details. Remember: What the big print giveth, the small print taketh away.
This is an excellent day for discussions with parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and even the police because people feel forgiving, warm hearted and ready to help if they can. Therefore, ask for help if you need it. More than likely, you will get it!
You might be excited about ambitious travel plans today. Similarly, this is an excellent day to pursue opportunities in publishing, the media, higher education and anything connected with medical or legal matters. Do not overlook details!
This is a good money day for you. In discussions about how to divide or share something, you will probably come out smelling like a rose. However, do remember not to give away the farm. Protect your self-interests.
Actress Iris Apatow (2002) shares your birthday today. You are friendly and multitalented. People are charmed by you. Sometimes your enthusiasm tempts you to go overboard. This is an exciting year for you because it is the beginning of a new cycle. Expect adventure, new beginnings and major changes. Be ready to open any door!

Explanation: A mysterious squid-like cosmic cloud, this nebula is very faint, but also very large in planet Earth’s sky. In the image, composed with 30 hours of narrowband image data, it spans nearly three full moons toward the royal constellation Cepheus. Discovered in 2011 by French astro-imager Nicolas Outters, the Squid Nebula’s bipolar shape is distinguished here by the telltale blue-green emission from doubly ionized oxygen atoms. Though apparently surrounded by the reddish hydrogen emission region Sh2-129, the true distance and nature of the Squid Nebula have been difficult to determine. Still, a more recent investigation suggests Ou4 really does lie within Sh2-129 some 2,300 light-years away. Consistent with that scenario, the cosmic squid would represent a spectacular outflow of material driven by a triple system of hot, massive stars, cataloged as HR8119, seen near the center of the nebula. If so, this truly giant squid nebula would physically be over 50 light-years across.
Now below sea level, the workplaces and settlements were vital sites of salt production.
Recent excavations of submerged Maya salt kitchens off the coast of Belize indicate that their ancient workers lived on the sites and possibly worked in kin-based teams.
The archaeological site is called Ta’ab Nuk Na, and it was in operation from 600 CE to 800 CE. It’s the largest of 110 submerged Maya sites in Paynes Creek, a nature reserve on Belize’s southern coast. Archaeological analysis of the operations at Ta’ab Nuk Na are published today in the journal Antiquity.
“The discovery of a residence at the site indicates the salt workers were living there instead of commuting daily from somewhere else on the coast or moving to the coast seasonally from inland areas,” said Heather McKillop, an archaeologist at Louisiana State University and the study’s lead author, in an email to Gizmodo.
The Maya mainly produced salt in two ways: evaporating saltwater and boiling brine in briquetage, or coarse ceramic vessels, over fire. The second method was…

I know many people are waiting for the next issue of Life in The Craft magazine but due to a lot of things I have to take it off my plate for now. As I said in yesterday’s post about the brain fog, I am having for a variety of reason and the fibromyalgia flare I am still in, I am barely able to keep up with posting, emails, things for my students, and coven.
I hope to be able to start publishing it again with Imbolc/Lammas 2023. I am sorry if this upsets anyone, but I have to do what I have to do to keep myself from being overwhelmed and out of a deeper depression. Just thinking about working on one for the upcoming Sabbat put me into an anxiety attack not a good place for me to be. I do enjoy publishing the magazine and will return to it.
I am NOT accepting anymore requests for the free issues as I have reached my target of 100 subscribers. I may open it to new subscribers again in January 2023 I will just have to see where I am mentally, emotionally, and physically at that time. Anyone who is on the email list for it now will stay there. The Imbolc/Lammas and Ostara/Mabon 2023 issues will be free after that there will be a subscription price of $3.00 USD per issue or one $21.00 per year USD. I spend between 25 to 30 hours researching and putting together every issue and feel the content plus my time is worth what I will be charging.
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Taurus.
Listen to the advice of someone older or more experienced than you today because it might be valuable for you to do so. After all, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Why not stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you? (Makes life easier.)
You’ll find it easy to be productive at work today because things will flow smoothly. You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and address important issues in a hands-on way. No doubt, this will impress bosses and anyone in authority because they see you as conscientious about getting things done.
This is an excellent day to hone your technique or practice something, perhaps in the arts, or music, or possibly a physical skill related to sports or a particular trade. Today you have the patience to do something again and again until you get it right.
A family discussion, especially with a parent or an older family, member will go well today because all parties concerned want practical results. In particular, this is a strong day to discuss inheritances and well-planned endings. This is also a great day to tackle home repairs and redecorating projects.
This is a wonderful day to make plans for the future. Likewise, it’s a great day to study, because your mind is focused and you’re concerned primarily with practical matters. Discussions with others will be serious. Possibly, someone more knowledgeable than you will give you advice?
This is an excellent day for business and commerce because you will be precise and careful with any financial transactions that you do. Meanwhile, if you’re shopping today, you will want to buy long-lasting, practical items. No ostrich boas for you today!
This is a fabulous day for you. You will find it easy to be disciplined; and you will channel your energies into getting whatever you want, or doing whatever you want to do. Furthermore, you will derive great satisfaction and a sense of fulfilment out of whatever you do, especially getting better organized.
This is wonderful day to do research of any kind because you are focused, patient and persevering. You will leave no stone unturned. In fact, whatever you do might lead to ways to improve your job or get a better job in the future.
A discussion with an older colleague or friend, or perhaps someone who is more experienced than you, will yield positive results today. Listen to what others say. If you are involved in a club or a group, this is a good day to discuss future goals and agree on a mission statement.
This is an excellent day for you! For starters, people admire you and are willing to listen to what you say. Meanwhile, you will demonstrate discipline and self-control. You might have excellent advice to others about how to conserve something or avoid waste.
It will be easy to study today because your mind is focused and your powers of concentration are excellent. You can use this energy to make future travel plans, or to finish an important paper or manuscript. Important discussions about legal or medical matters will go well.
This is a solid day to go through red-tape papers and get better organized, especially related to taxes, debt, inheritances and shared property. That’s because you have the patience and perseverance to deal with things you might usually avoid. Bravo!
Actor Matt Bomer (1977) shares your birthday today. You are a witty, charming, enthusiastic optimist. People enjoy your company. You are thoughtful and well spoken. This year is the final year of a nine-year cycle for you, which means it’s time to take inventory. It’s also time to let go of people, places and possessions or anything that is holding you back.

Explanation: What dark structures arise within the Pelican Nebula? On the whole, the nebula appears like a bird (a pelican) and is seen toward the constellation of a different bird: Cygnus, a Swan. But inside, the Pelican Nebula is a place lit up by new stars and befouled by dark dust. Smoke-sized dust grains start as simple carbon compounds formed in the cool atmospheres of young stars but are dispersed by stellar winds and explosions. Two impressive Herbig-Haro jets are seen emitted by the star HH 555 on the right, and these jets are helping to destroy the light year-long dust pillar that contains it. Other pillars and jets are also visible. The featured image was scientifically-colored to emphasize light emitted by small amounts of heavy elements in a nebula made predominantly of the light elements hydrogen and helium. The Pelican Nebula (IC 5067 and IC 5070) is about 2,000 light-years away and can be found with a small telescope to the northeast of the bright star Deneb.
