Egyptian Art

In 1986, the band “The Bangles” sang about “all the old paintings on the tombs” where the figures they depict are “walking like an Egyptian.” Though he was neither an art historian nor an Egyptologist, songwriter Liam Sternberg was referring to one of the most striking features of ancient Egyptian visual art — the depiction of people, animals and objects on a flat, two-dimensional plane. Why did the ancient Egyptians do this? And is ancient Egypt the only culture to create art in this style?

Drawing any object in three dimensions requires a specific viewpoint to create the illusion of perspective on a flat surface. Drawing an object in two dimensions (height and breadth) requires the artist to depict just one surface of that object. And highlighting just one surface, it turns out, has its advantages.

“In pictorial representation, the outline carries the most information,” John Baines, professor emeritus of Egyptology at the University of Oxford in the U.K. told Live Science. “It’s easier to understand something if it is defined by an outline.”

Moon Phase

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. 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. This September Full Moon will be the forth and final supermoon of 2023.

During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Joyful birthday wishes from Lady Carla Beltane with the WOTC Family and Friends!!

May the next year of your life bring you more love, laughter, joy, happiness, enough income to cover what you have to have along with a little leftover for fun! May it bring you everything you want if it is supposed to be and everything you need. May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.

Being a Cancer born on July 20th, you have a stable and loyal personality. You seem to put great price on responsibility in life and dread letting other people down.

You are a protector of those who have been wronged, even if at times, you might find it hard to speak for yourself. Your creativity will take you places, once you realize how to come in contact with it. Prepare to read a special profile analysis in the following rows.

 The zodiac sign for July 20 is Cancer.

 Astrological symbol: Crab. The sign of the Crab is influential for those born June 21 – July 22, when the Sun is considered to be in Cancer. It suggests moodiness, transformation and emotion.

 The Cancer Constellation with the brightest star being Cancri is spread on 506 sq degrees between Gemini to the West and Leo to the East. Its visible latitudes are +90° to -60°, this being just one of the twelve zodiac constellations.

 The Crab is named in Latin as Cancer, in Spanish as Cancer while the Greeks name it Karkinos.

 Opposite sign: Capricorn. This reflects upon generalization and humor and the fact that a cooperation between the Cancer and Capricorn sun signs, whether in business or love is beneficial for both parts.

 Modality: Cardinal. This quality exposes the impulsive nature of those born on July 20 and their amazement and vigilance about most life situations.

 Ruling house: The fourth house. This house rules over memories, ancestry, family and domestic stability. This is suggestive for the interests of Cancerians and for their behavior in life.

 Ruling body: Moon. This celestial planet symbolizes understanding and discipline. The Moon is one of the seven classical planets that can be seen with the naked eye. The Moon is also suggestive for the daring component of these personalities.

 Element: Water. This element reveals the flair and sensibility of people born on July 20 but also their passivity and acceptance at times. Water couples with fire to make things boil, models things with earth and dissipates in the presence of air.

 Lucky day: Monday. This weekday is ruled by the Moon symbolizing illumination and change. It reflects upon the affectionate nature of Cancer people and the daring flow of this day.

 Lucky numbers: 2, 4, 14, 18, 23.

 Motto: “I feel!”

 People born on July 20 posses many talents and have an intuitive approach to life. They are clingy in a loving and cute way as they only do it in order to fulfill their need to feel secure and protected both emotionally and financially. Just like a true Cancer, they are sensible, dependable and ambitious. They prefer hobbies related to arts and staying at home. They avoid boredom and being criticized. Those born under this sign feel best when they are at home or very close to it in familiar places.

 Positive traits: These people are great at organizing things and good with money so they make great investors. They are attentive and vulnerable but at the same time they have their own vision of things and they rarely go further than that. They are truly interested in discovering as many things as possible about people and the world we live in. They are watchful and charitable but also steadfast when it comes to their own plans.

 Negative traits: Acknowledging that they destroy their life through their fears and that they cannot say they live life at its fullest just in their dreams is a good begin for Cancers to balance things. They are devious and often react in contradictory ways. They refuse to let go of the past and are often hunted by it for periods and periods of time. They are overly conscious and seem to put a lot of burden on those around them with their weaknesses.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on July 20 are considered to be the most sympathetic and protective of all lovers. Cancer puts the greatest value in life on home stability and family wellbeing as one of the most important pursuits in the life of a Cancer is finding their soul mate and forming a family of their own. You can conquer the heart of Cancer if you are an enthusiastic and loyal lover whom can offer them unconditional support and stability.

 They are prudent and circumspect lovers and although not passionate their gentleness and honesty compensate. Their relationships are likely to grow on friendships as they need time to know the person that stays beside them. They offer everything they have to their loved one and ask for the same. Gentle and loving daydreamers now, but when time comes they will prove to be very dedicated to their family and they are likely to sacrifice many of their dreams for their loved one’s sake. They are most compatible with those born on the 2nd, 5th, 9th, 11th, 14th, 18th, 20th, 23rd, 27th and 29th.

 July 20 Zodiac people seem to be most attracted to the other water signs: Scorpio and Pisces as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Cancer is in a permanent search for someone who can understand their emotional nature and the most suitable to offer them this is the native born under Virgo. The lover in Cancer is said to be least compatible with Aquarius. As for the rest of partnerships between the other star signs and Cancer, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Today you will be subject to sudden changes of moods. Many of you will also have a strong urge to make a break for freedom in some way. You certainly will rebel against restrictions or anyone telling you what to do. In part, this is because you’re working hard and you’re working smart.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Communication is important of course but for you this Saturday maybe remaining quiet can say more than a thousand words could.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Professionally speaking you are stressing more at home than at work, with your mind being all focused on what you need to do and how to plan things but mostly when you are in your spare time and when you are in the office you tend to de motivate yourself entirely.

Maybe you need to check what keeps you in place.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You can’t really postpone what you promised you will do today so might as well just go with it. But this doesn’t also mean that you can do whatever and make sure you get it done quickly.

It seems that somehow you will be checked of what you did so might as well invest proper time into this that do something just to have it done.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You seem to not know what you want this Saturday and you are beginning several tasks at once and not really finishing anything.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The monotony and seriousness of this day will get on your nerves and the time will look as if it is not passing.

To some extend you do need to grow up and stop analyzing things and quantifying how fun or how boring they are, but to another extend, maybe you are right, maybe this Saturday should be for relaxing and maybe you should do something about this.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You need to keep your eyes open for everything that is out there but your mind even more open because chances are you will have some things to learn this Saturday.

However, I stress again the need to be open because these lessons will come in different shapes and with different events and you will have to extract them your own.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You will put a lot more attention than usual in the way you look and those around will notice that but not necessarily in the way you want them to.

So do expect some unwanted and all of a sudden criticism to hit you even when you thought you finally nailed it. The bad side is that they will probably be right but it will take you a while to realize what you are doing wrong.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Good luck surely shines on those who try but this time luck will be on the side of natives who don’t try too much and who kind of leave things.

The more you stress, the harder it will actually be to get something done. However, the smart ones will soon catch the point and will probably end up with some accomplishments.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are quite pessimistic this Saturday and there will probably be very little to get you out of this mood, even those dear to you will not have too much success.

However, there might be something you can do and something to put this pessimism of yours to good use. Think of the faults of something you are doing now and make up like a plan B.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is going to be quite a tempting Saturday with some events you might be interested in but also some things you have already planned at home.

Therefore you need to be very careful about how you navigate this, not to disappoint anyone but also not to leave yourself bitter and full of frustration the whole day. In case you can’t settle the dilemma, rather go with leaving yourself second this time.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Apparently the financial side is not as peaceful as you’d expect it to be so proof is that today’s shopping session might be marked by a bit of anxiety and frustration.

If you don’t want this to continue during the following days, then start working harder or stop spending that much. There needs to be some balance out there that you can attain.

7 Things You Should Know About Stonehenge

Get the facts on the iconic ancient monument, including how it once ended up on the auction block and what the wizard Merlin and Charles Darwin have to do with it.

1. Stonehenge was built in phases.

Around 3000 B.C. a circular earthwork was constructed at the site, consisting of a ditch (dug using tools made from antlers) with an inner and outer bank. Inside the bank were 56 pits, which became known as the Aubrey Holes, after antiquarian John Aubrey, who identified them in 1666. Archaeologists estimate Stonehenge was home to 150 or more cremation burials from approximately 3000 B.C. to 2300 B.C., and they’ve called it Britain’s biggest known cemetery of the time.

The two types of stones at the center of the monument, the large sarsens and smaller bluestones, arrived at the site sometime around 2500 B.C. Afterward, they were shaped using various stoneworking techniques and arranged in formations. The final stage of construction was a ring of pits now referred to as the Y holes, dug sometime between 1600 B.C. to 1500 B.C. The Y holes encircled another ring of pits called the Z holes, which were dug at an earlier time and surrounded the sarsens. Researchers are unclear as to whether the Y and Z holes served any purpose. It’s also unknown how long Stonehenge continued to be used after the Y holes were dug.

2. It’s a mystery how some stones got to the site.

3. Stonehenge once was put up for auction.

4. Theories abound about Stonehenge’s purpose.

5. Summer solstice gatherings were banned at Stonehenge.

6. Darwin studied worms there.

7. Stonehenge is just one of several prehistoric stone circles in Great Britain.

July 21, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Moon Phase

The current moon phase for July 21st, 2024 is the Full Moon phase.

On this day, the moon is 14.89 days old and 99.56% illuminated with a tilt of 83.177°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 372,232.14 km and the moon sign is Capricorn.

The Moon phase for July 21st, 2024 is the Full Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is 100% illuminated when seen from Earth (hence the name Full Moon).

The Full Moon happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The sunlight fully illuminated the moon, and this is what we call being “full”. The moon will be visible throughout the night sky as it rises at sunset in the east, transits the meridian at midnight, before setting at sunrise in the west.

The specific point at which the Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time that passes between full moons is called the Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long.

Fun fact: lunar eclipses can only happen within a few days of the Full Moon, but they don’t happen for every Full Moon because the moon’s orbit has a 5.1° tilt around the Earth compared to Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Only when the intersection of these two orbits is pointing towards the centre of the Moon do we get a lunar eclipse.

Phase Details

Moon age: 14.89 days

Moon illumination: 99.56%

Moon tilt: 83.177°

Moon angle: 0.54

Moon distance: 372,232.14 km
