Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 1 PM to 3:30 PM EST today (10 AM to 12:30 PM PST). The New Moon is in Sagittarius today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today’s New Moon is the perfect chance to set intentions about expanding your world or improving your job through further training, education or travel. When he was 87, Michelangelo said, “I’m still learning.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You are the financial wizard of the zodiac. Today is the only New Moon all year that offers you the chance to set intentions about how to best deal with shared property, inheritances and anything that you own jointly with someone. Write down some ideas.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today the only New Moon all year opposite your sign is taking place, which means this is perhaps the best day of the year to think about what you can do to improve your closest relationships. There is always something. Ideas?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the New Moon is in your sign. This is the only time all year this will occur, and it is an opportunity for you. Every New Moon is a chance to make resolutions and set new intentions. Think about how you can improve your relations with others. Take a look in the mirror and think about how you can improve your image.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Even if we think we don’t believe in anything, that’s what we believe in. In other words, we all have beliefs. Today’s New Moon is a good time to ask yourself what you believe in. What is the highest good to your way of thinking? What really matters?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

We are gregarious creatures. We need friends and people to talk to. We need to see others and we need to be seen. Today’s New Moon is the perfect day to think about what you can do to improve your friendships and interactions with groups. If you want more friends – be friendly!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Everyone cares about the reputation and the impression that they create on their audience. Without exception. Today’s New Moon is your chance to think about your public reputation and your style of relating to authority figures – parents, bosses, teachers and even the police. Is there room for improvement?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is the perfect day to decide how you can improve your life through learning, reading, studying, taking courses or travel. In other words, what can you do to enrich your life and expand your world. Any ideas?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Life is easier if you feel financially secure. Today’s New Moon is in one of your Money Houses. Make plans to reduce your debt or consolidate financial arrangements about shared property and inheritances so that you feel more reassured and confident.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The New Moon today is directly opposite your sign, which is the best opportunity for you all year to think about how you can improve your partnerships and closest friendships. Think about what kind of friend you are to others. How can you be a better friend and a better partner?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is an excellent day to set intentions. In particular, what resolutions would you make that will help you to improve your job or how you do your job? What resolutions might you make to improve your health? Think about this.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

We are a goal-oriented society. However, it’s important to play and enjoy the arts. Today’s New Moon is the perfect time to ask yourself if you have a good balance between work and play. Do you take time to have fun with others, especially children? Do you value your creative talents?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress, singer, songwriter Miley Cyrus (1992) shares your birthday today. You are an idealist. You are creative high spirited and freethinking. You seek adventure and try to avoid a routine. Simplicity is the key to this year for you. Focus on your health or physical exercise and methods to stay grounded. Work hard for what you want.

Novembers 23, 2022 Moon Goddess Current 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 New Moon phase. During this phase the Moon is too close to the sun in the sky to be visible. The moon rises and sets with the sun and is not present in the night sky. Because of this the night sky is darker and an excellent time to view other celestial objects. Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.

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

November 23 Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

2022 November 23

Earthset from Orion

Image Credit: NASA, Artemis 1

Explanation: Eight billion people are about to disappear in this snapshot from space. Taken on November 21, the sixth day of the Artemis 1 mission, their home world is setting behind the Moon’s bright edge as viewed by an external camera on the outbound Orion spacecraft. The Orion was headed for a powered flyby that took it to within 130 kilometers of the lunar surface. Velocity gained in the flyby maneuver will be used to reach a distant retrograde orbit around the Moon. That orbit is considered distant because it’s another 92,000 kilometers beyond the Moon, and retrograde because the spacecraft will orbit in the opposite direction of the Moon’s orbit around planet Earth. Orion will enter its distant retrograde orbit on Friday, November 25. Swinging around the Moon, Orion will reach a maximum distance (just over 400,000 kilometers) from Earth on Monday November 28 exceeding a record set by Apollo 13 for most distant spacecraft designed for human space exploration.

Elder Moon: November 24 – December 23

American Elder Tree

From LearnReligions.com

The winter solstice has passed, and the Elder moon is a time of endings. Although the Elder can be damaged easily, it recovers quickly and springs back to life, corresponding to the approaching New Year. Called Ruish by the Celts (pronounced roo-esh), the month of Elder is a good time for workings related to creativity and renewal. It is a time of beginnings and endings, births and deaths, and rejuvenation. Elder is also said to protect against demons and other negative entities. Use in magic connected to Faeries and other nature spirits.

Ireland Elder Tree

From Ireland-Calling.com

Elder – a tree sacred to the Celts

In Ireland, the elder was considered a sacred tree and, like the hawthorn, it was forbidden to cut one down. The elder tree was prized for its many uses culinary, medicinal and mystical.

Both the flowers and berries of the elder can be used to make wine. Elderflower wine was said to be drunk at the Beltane celebrations and elderberries were made into a wine at Samhain which was consumed to promote divination and hallucinations.

Ogham, the mysterious language of the trees The Origins of the Ogham alphabet are still a mystery for many historians, but it is primarily thought to be an early form of the Irish written Language.
Ruis, R, Elder is the fifteenth letter in the ogham alphabet, Ruis, and the thirteenth and final month of the Celtic tree calendar.

Poisonous

The seeds, bark, leaves and flowers of the elder can be poisonous as is the unripe fruit so special care must have been taken when preparing such beverages.

The superstition of never cutting down an elder bush was not unique to Ireland. In Denmark, peasants never chopped an elder because Hyldemor, The Elder Mother, lived in the trunk.

This belief was possibly brought to the East of England by the Vikings and, even today, in Lincolnshire people ask permission from ‘The Old Lady’ before taking cuttings from the tree.

Christians gave elder a bad reputation

Christians believed that the elder tree was the tree that Judas hanged himself from, therefore making it unlucky. Some also believed the cross was made of elder wood. In fact the Christians gave the elder a bad reputation in general.

It was during Christian times that the elder became most associated with witches and many stories of ‘elder-witches’ spread throughout Ireland and Britain. This developed into an association with the devil.

To burn elder wood in your fire would bring the devil into your house.

Celts believed it protected the from evil spirits

It seems more likely that rather than a tree to be feared the elder was a highly respected tree in the old Celtic land. It was said to protect from evil spirits as well as inviting them.

Cradles were built from elder wood to protect babies and elder bushes were often planted around cattle to keep them healthy. It was believed that planting an elder near your house would also protect it from lightning.

At the same time, a flute made of elder could be used to summon spirits and, in Scotland, if you stand under an elder tree at Samhain you will be able to see the fairies riding by.
