NGC 7380: The Wizard Nebula

Image Credit & Copyright: Ioan Popa

Explanation: What powers are being wielded in the Wizard Nebula? Gravitation strong enough to form stars, and stellar winds and radiations powerful enough to create and dissolve towers of gas. Located only 8,000 light years away, the Wizard nebula, featured here, surrounds developing open star cluster NGC 7380. Visually, the interplay of stars, gas, and dust has created a shape that appears to some like a fictional medieval sorcerer. The active star forming region spans 100 about light years, making it appear larger than the angular extent of the Moon. The Wizard Nebula can be located with a small telescope toward the constellation of the King of Aethiopia (Cepheus). Although the nebula may last only a few million years, some of the stars being formed may outlive our Sun.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or major decisions from 5:30 AM to 8 AM EST (2:30 AM 5 AM PST). After that, the Moon moves from Cancer into Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Because you feel sympathetic toward someone today, you might figure out a way to help them, especially in practical or financial terms. You might see a solution? Or perhaps you see a new approach that you can use to reduce your debt or deal with shared property. One can only hope.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

A conversation with a partner or close friend will be mutually sympathetic today. One, or both of you, will want to get down to brass tacks in order to solve a problem. This might involve a serious disclosure about something. “Alright, I’m ready to come clean.” You want the facts.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This can be a productive day at work for you because you will see new approaches to solving problems and introducing reforms. You might have to tear something back down to the basics in order to rebuild it. You are also inclined to want to help a coworker today.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you feel sympathetic to the needs of children. Likewise, you might feel idealistic about a romantic relationship. Certainly, your love of mystery is aroused today, which is why you will want to read whodunit’s or see mystery movies or figure out the plot of something. (The butler in the dining room with the candlestick?)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which will slightly improve your good fortune; however, it will also increase your emotions, (which you will no doubt notice). Today you feel sympathetic to a family member. In a discussion with someone, a secret might be revealed.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a gentle, dreamy day. Your imagination is aroused and your ability to fantasize and visualize is excellent. You will feel sympathetic to others. You might also want to know the truth about something that happened to a sibling, relatives or neighbour. “Hey, what’s the scoop?”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

If shopping today, keep your receipts because you will be tempted to buy luxurious, impractical items. (Of course, one can never have too many coats.) You might investigate a financial situation today because you want the bottom line about something, especially the cost.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today both the Sun and Mercury are in your sign dancing with other planets. This makes you dreamy, sympathetic and yet, at the same time, almost suspicious and scrutinizing. (A curious combination.) You want to know the truth about something.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is an excellent day to do research and discover secrets or answers to problems that you might have. You might use your imagination or you might use your ability to dig deep and find out the truth about what you need to know.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might idealize a friend today. You might also feel sympathetic to a friend and want to help them, if you can. Certainly, conversations with someone will be intense, deep and quite revealing. Possibly, someone will make a confession to you?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Others might appeal to you today because they want your help or your blessing about something. (Possibly, you are the one making an appeal to a boss or someone in a position of authority.) The truth of something will come out today.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Although your idealism is aroused today, you also see the subtext of things, which is why you will not be seduced by clever rhetoric or propaganda. If you trust your intuition, you will not be talked into something that is preposterous or untrue. “Trust the Force, Luke.”

If Your Birthday Is Today

King Charles III (1948) shares your birthday today. Although your love life might be dramatic, you want stability and predictability in your everyday world. You have many talents and are insightful. This year simplicity is your theme. It’s time to create solid foundations in your life, including home repairs. Laziness is not acceptable. Get to work.
