Moon in Cancer

The Moon is at home in Cancer, which gives those with this sign a striking depth of feeling and imagination.

The Moon is Cancer’s ruling planet, emphasizing the sign’s tidal moods and changing (lunar) face.

This is a sensitive water sign Moon, with many moods. Even if the Cancer Moon isn’t saying anything, others will feel their presence, and whatever emotions they are feeling.

Those lucky to have them in their lives can enjoy warm affection and a sense of intimacy, whether as a friend or a romantic partner.

For them every encounter is meaningful, and it gives weight to all their relationships.

They have strong maternal instincts, and love to take care of everyone, especially the vulnerable. Some Cancer Moon men may find it challenging, since they’re not supposed to be big feelers.

It helps if the Cancer Moon has an emotional outlet, like through performance, to offload all that emotional intensity. I knew a fellow with this Moon and that was how he found expression, through performance.

Each life experience is remembered as an emotional impression, and held onto forever. This is a blessing and a curse — a Moon Cancer may forgive, but they never forget!

Imaginative Spirit

Their powerful memories can be woven into story, music and art in a way that pulls at the heartstrings of their audiences or loved ones. The dark side is that they’ll nurture a wound for a long time, sometimes keeping one foot firmly rooted in the past.

The Cancer Moon has a delicate sensitivity that may be kept well hidden out of protection. But they demand a lot from those they love, and might test others loyalty without revealing their own feelings.

Homebody

Those with the Moon in Cancer refill the well at home, and need a solid base of unflagging support. Even if they’re out in public a lot, they need the touchstone of that home base.

They also need lots of solitude to calm those turbulent emotional moods they experience, as well as what they pick up like a psychic sponge from others. When all this is in place, they’ll be emboldened to show their true strength.

The Cancer Moon needs to soak in a warm bath at night, and let go of worries.

Life with such a complex soul as the Cancer Moon is bound to be both challenging and exquisitely rewarding.

The ideal mate understands that they’re both strong and sensitive, with wild fluctuations between the two extremes. You’ll win their trust if you provide shelter when they’re vulnerable and encouragement when they’re ready to take on the world.

It’s very hard for Cancer Moon to trust others, since they can be so deeply hurt. If he lets you in, chances are, he won’t let go.

But if he does let go, it won’t be pretty and you could expect a lot of hot and cold behavior from a Cancer Moon ex. They’re apt to keep you close, until they’ve found someone new, and then give you the final shove. You might mistake this for them still needing you, but that’s not true.

I give up, why try to fight it, WINTER IS HERE! As the rest of this end of the country, we have a blizzard, yes, blizzard heading right at us. I will give you a heads up, if we aren’t on the net for next few days it will be because ice has broken the lines. We are getting ready to install our new internet system as soon as it warms up, two tin cans with string attached (hell, why not, it will probably work better). I don’t know how long a string we can get to reach across the ocean but we can try.

Seriously though, I wanted to make a quick apology about the “Get a jump on tomorrow’s horoscopes.” It was purely our fault. I don’t know what happened but I did go back and check, the next day was not clicked on plain and simple. So you got double of yesterday’s horoscopes. I should have caught it before it when out but I didn’t and I apologize for this. I can guarantee you, everything will be tripled checked from now on out. I appreciate everyone calling this to my attention so we can correct our error. Again, I am extremely sorry.

Now let’s get this show on the road, so you can get the right horoscopes….

Stay in if you can and please stay warm,

Love ya,

Lady A

Stars and Globules in the Running Chicken Nebula
Image Credit & Copyright: Martin Pugh

Explanation: The eggs from this gigantic chicken may form into stars. The featured emission nebula, shown in scientifically assigned colors, is cataloged as IC 2944 but known as the Running Chicken Nebula for the shape of its greater appearance. Seen toward the top of the image are small, dark molecular clouds rich in obscuring cosmic dust. Called Thackeray’s Globules for their discoverer, these “eggs” are potential sites for the gravitational condensation of new stars, although their fates are uncertain as they are also being rapidly eroded away by the intense radiation from nearby young stars. Together with patchy glowing gas and complex regions of reflecting dust, these massive and energetic stars form theopen cluster Collinder 249. This gorgeous skyscape spans about 60 light-years at the nebula’s estimated 6,000 light-year distance.

 

 

 

 

Sun in Aquarius

Hearing the beat of your own drum

By Tarotcom Staff

Videos, Sun, Astrology, Aquarius

 

It’s not quite time to emerge from hibernation entirely, but the Sun’s move into airy Aquarius from January 20 to February 18 does signal a much-needed mid-winter break from the coldest and most dreary season of the year.

When the Sun moves into the mentally active and social sign of Aquarius, it’s time to come back out and reconnect with the world. We’ve been buckling down to work the past month with the Sun in antisocial Capricorn, but now is the time for making new friends and sharing bright ideas.

Those born from about January 17-23 were born on the Capricorn-Aquarius Cusp, and those born from about February 15-21 were born on the Aquarius-Pisces Cusp. Being born on the cusp simply means that you were born during the transition time between two zodiac signs, so you retain some qualities from each sign.

Aquarius is more intellectual than emotional, so prepare to put sentiment aside for the next month. Focus instead on embracing your originality and independence, and participating in stimulating conversations with anyone who will listen.

High-minded Aquarius marches to the quirky pace of its own offbeat drummer, so the Sun in Aquarius period is perfect for pursuing your most outrageous dreams.

Embrace this brilliant and wonderfully eccentric Aquarian energy while it lasts!

Here’s how to make the most of life during Sun in Aquarius:

What to do: Fight for the underdog! Humanitarian Aquarius is ruled by rebel planet Uranus, so when the Sun is in Aquarius we are encouraged to rebel against social injustices and help fight for the rights of those less fortunate. Use your great big heart, problem-solving ideas and effective communication skills to help someone now!

What to say: The question is what NOT to say. Aquarius loves to think and talk, and quite often you can’t get them to shut up once they start. Enjoy all the stimulating conversations you’ll have during this time, but be aware of talking to the point of exhausting your audience.

Where to go: Space! OK, well, if you can’t hop a rocket to the cosmos while the Sun is in Aquarius, you can at least go somewhere else high-tech — even if it’s just that futuristic gadget store at the mall. Whatever you do, keep it quirky — is there a Stars Wars convention in town?

What to wear: Aquarius is all about expressing their originality, so use this time to do the same. Put streaks in your hair or wear something wild — it’ll be just another conversation starter.

What to buy: Books and gadgets. Aquarians are knowledge seekers, inventors and intellectual explorers. If you’ve been wanting to study up on something complex —  like the space-time continuum or the meaning of life — do it now by the light of the inquisitive Aquarian Sun.

What to watch out for: Being a smarty pants! Over time, intellectual Aquarians acquire a very large knowledge base, but it can also result in an unattractive know-it-all-attitude. We’re all full of brilliant ideas while the Sun is in Aquarius, so be sure to listen to others’ ideas, too!

What to look forward to: Making new friends and having a good time. Aquarians are very social and tend to belong on teams and in groups where they can enjoy spending time with friends. Take advantage of this Aquarian energy to enlarge your social circle now!

Your Charm for Today

Today’s Meaning:
A course of events that cannot be altered has been set in motion within this aspect. Accept whatever happens in the near future and do not waste your time fretting about it–you can do nothing.

General Description:
This was a favorite charm in Egypt, worn in order to frustrate magiciains, sorcerers and evil wishers from bewitching the wearer and stealing the soul from the heart; for it was the general belief that if the soul left the heart, the body would soon fade away and perish. The ancient Egyptians also believed that, after death, the heart was taken, in the underworld, and weighed against the symbols of the law; if found perfect, it was restored to the body, which at once came to life again and enjoyed everlasting felicity

Your Animal Spirit for Today

Black Swan

Wherever the Black Swan appears in your reading you can expect unexpected and unpredictable events to majorly impact your life in that aspect. Beyond noting that the influences Black Swan indicates will be extraordinarily large in scope, it may be difficult to tell if the fortune it foretells will be good or bad. Black Swan affected events may begin so subtly that they are very difficult to identify. When trying to discover what the Black Swan portends for you, look for events that do not occur in your life regularly or at all.

Shuffling The Cards, Your Past, Present & Future Reading for Today

 

Past Influence whose impact on your life is waning

The Green Man

Where the Green Man appears the mystery and untamed energy of nature abounds. The Green Man indicates the presence of choices and powers that have not been muted by civilization. The Green Man represents the antithesis of technology and industrialization. He offers primal energies veiled in mystery and derived from the spirit of nature in its purest form.

 

 

 

 

Present Influence whose impact on your life is very strong.

The Dove

Throughout history the Dove has symbolized peace and innocence in nearly all cultures. Dove’s soft cooing and gentle nature bring a calmness to any situation. The Dove appears where peace has been attained or there is a need to bring events to a peaceful ending. It denotes a time to let lose of grievances and settle conflicts in a way that benefits all parties equally.

 

 

 

 

Future influence whose impact on your life is growing and will be very strong in the future.

Alturism

Altruism denotes the noble act of giving to those in need without the expectation of a return. The act of giving has been seen as one of humankind’s greatest attributes throughout history. It is honored in nearly every culture. To give is a gift to both those who receive and those who give. Giving is usually associated with addressing the material needs of others, but the gift given can take many forms such as wisdom or protection or simply a shoulder to cry on.

Your Ancient Symbol Card for Today

Chance

The Chance card denotes a period in which taking risks may produce positive results. This doesn’t mean head off to a casino with your life’s savings! What is suggested is that you should make gains by taking a well calculated risk. For the power of Chance to be fully realized it is essential that you pick your risk carefully, move forward with conviction, and above all else don’t get greedy!

As a daily card, Chance implies you are currently in a place where taking a chance is likely to produce substantial rewards. In other words, take a few calculated steps out on the proverbial limb, but remember if you take it too far you are likely to lose all that you gain and possibly more.
