The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

A Laugh for Today

“Friday night as a parent: The kids are finally in bed, so let’s watch a movie and have a glass of wi……zZzZzZz……”

“It’s Friday night which means I’m pounding shots at the club and getting crazy til the break of dawn. Except by pounding shots, I mean drinking SleepyTime tea. By the club, I mean my couch. By getting crazy, I mean watching Good Eats. And by break of dawn, I mean 10:30 ish.”

I don’t work on Fridays. I make appearances.

What goes by slower than a boring movie? Friday afternoon.

A Thought for Today

Druid Quote Source: azquotes.com

This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks, Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight, Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic, Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms. Loud from its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced neighboring ocean Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest.

A Thought for Today

I took a few longish walks this week to find my path again and to release all the negative everything that was inside of me to refill it with all positive things. So this poem really spoke to me as I was looking for a thought to put up. It also helped me to feel better physically which in turn let me get the posts for today up yesterday like I had been doing but was unable to for a while.

There is a lot to be said for walking in the grass among trees and other things pleasing to the eye that Mother Nature and Gaia gives us to look at. They also provide us lovely things to smell like flowers and fresh cut grass just to name a couple. They give us things to feel the different textures that the world around us offers. They help to ease our troubles and worries to hopefully all us to gain a better state of mind. If you do not live in a home where these things are not just outside your front door trying going to a park or forest preserve and walk there. It doesn’t need to be a long walk as you can still experince the afore mentioned things by sitting on a bench or lawn chair or the grass to take in what beauty is around you.

I also encourage you to take some type of trash bag with you and clean up what others have just left on the ground that interrupts the energy we can feel when surrounded or in nature.

Blessed be dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends!

All Signs

This is a pleasant week full of positive vibes. It’s also a time to get things done because we will be imaginative and productive. Tuesday in particular, is an excellent day to look for a job. Although this is a productive week for most of us, it will also a wonderful time to kick back and relax as we brace for the season ahead. “Winter is coming.” (Ned Stark would have bought snow tires.) In a nutshell, the theme of this week is to socialize and enjoy the company of those who are closest to you. Grab your toga and step forth into the world with confidence. “What ho? Hail centurion! There’s Smarticus! And Acidofolus! And Testicleese!”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

For the most part, this is a carefree, playful week for you. Get out and enjoy yourself! However, this week also holds an opportunity that arrives only once a year, and that is you will have more objectivity to see your closest relationships, specifically, to see your own style in these relationships. This means it’s a fantastic chance for you to improve how you relate to close friends, spouses and partners. This is also a romantic, passionate week for you. Love will be the stuff of movies. At the beginning of the week, you’re very keen to play, but as the week wears on, you’ll get down to business. After all, this is your year to get richer! Ka-ching!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

While it’s true that this is a pleasant, playful week for most signs, you will be more inclined to have your nose to the proverbial grindstone this week. You don’t have to, but you probably will because you’re motivated to work hard right now. Not only are you motivated, you have the energy to work plus, you’re full of ideas! This is why most of you will roll up your sleeves and get hands-on into various projects. But the thing is, you’ll get a tremendous sense of reward and satisfaction from your efforts. Fear not, there will be plenty of time to play. And of course, with lucky Jupiter in your sign – you have divine protection.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

More than any other sign, you will party hard this week. That’s because for starters, you’re in a playful mood! You’re keen to go out and socialize. You want to enjoy sports events and fun activities with kids. You want to meet people for coffee, a drink, lunch or dinner because you need variety and stimulation! Romance will flourish this week, which is another perfect perk for you. Some of you will also enjoy entertaining at home, especially because you have been exploring some redecorating ideas. Timing is everything. When it’s time to work – then work. And when it’s time to play – then enjoy yourself! (The secret of life is to look good at a distance.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Take time to relax this week, especially with your strong focus on home and family. Many of you will be involved more than usual with a parent. You might also be dealing with increased chaos and activity on the home front, possibly due to repairs and DIY projects. (You are amazingly resourceful and practical when it comes to doing things at home. You can make a delicious dinner from what you grew in your garden and serve it on the table you built.) Fortunately, all the insane activity that has been taking place at home will soon subside, and you can catch your breath. Later this week, you’ll appreciate your surroundings and realize how much love there is in your world.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week suits you perfectly! You’re keen to get out and take short trips so that you’re on the go, talking to people, meeting some for lunch, shopping, studying and of course, working. You will have a busy schedule that might involve teaching, learning, sales and writing more than usual. You’re also feeling good about yourself lately, in part because you’ve been tweaking your wardrobe with some treasures and this always boosts your morale. You enjoy a sporty style and you like to look good. Crisp and confident! Especially because you are one sign that is easily noticed by others! (It’s the big sunglasses and dramatic gestures — plus, you’re signing autographs.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your strong focus on cash flow, earnings, (money in, money out) continues. For those who are looking for a new job, Tuesday is the day to act. It’s also an excellent day for financial negotiations and discovering ways to boost your income. This is an eventful year for you because Saturn is opposite your sign, which means this is the culmination of a process that began about 14 years ago. That was when you began to redefine yourself. Of course, this opposition with Saturn is tough on committed partnerships. (Those that have outlived their usefulness will end.) Fear not! Most will endure but undergo readjustments. (“Does that feel better?” “Yes, thanks. The pressure is off the back of my thighs.”) It’s important to define the expectations others have of you and live up to them.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re still empowered with the Sun, Mercury and fiery Mars all in your sign, boosting your energy, drive and ambition! You won’t hesitate to speak up. You also won’t hesitate to go after what you want. This is a successful week for you because you will enjoy schmoozing with others, especially creative, artistic types. You’ll also enjoy being involved in groups and organizations related to the arts, the entertainment world and sports. Despite your love of pleasure and socializing this week, you will still work because this entire year is a time when you are busting your buns – and you know it. So, it’s important to strike a balance between work and play because you’re such a social sign.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a curious time for you because a gaggle of planets are hiding in your chart, which in turn, encourages you to keep a low profile. Basically, this is because at one level, you’re “waiting” for your birthday to arrive, which will change your energy level and your interactions with others in a big way. Until then, use this time wisely. Pamper yourself. Take time for yourself. Enjoy solitude in beautiful surroundings, with good food and drink of course, and think about what you want for your future. When your birthday arrives, this will be the beginning of a new year for you (birthday to birthday). Start thinking now what you want to achieve in terms of goals for the next year – and maybe even beyond?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This continues to be a popular time for you, especially with younger people. Many of you are also involved in physical activities, perhaps a competition with groups or individually. This makes sense because you are one of the most out-doorsy signs in the zodiac. What you like to have overhead is sky! You also love animals, so many of you are out walking daily in all kinds of weather. Travel opportunities still exist for you while fair Venus is going through your Ninth House. Therefore, if you can get outta Dodge – by all means, do so. Meanwhile, keep your eyes open for ways to improve your health and get a better job because that is your mission this year.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are still enjoying great press because the Sun is at the top of your chart shining down on you thereby casting you in a flattering spotlight! This is why with no special effort on your part, you are impressing others, especially bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs. Naturally, this pleases you because you like status and the respect of others. (It makes life easier.) Ironically, even though you look fabulous now, Mars at the top of your chart will encourage conflict with authority figures. Are these people jealous? For some reason they feel threatened. Use your skilful means to smooth ruffled feathers. You’re superb at demonstrating grace under pressure.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is the perfect time for you to travel and explore the world. If you can’t travel far, then be a tourist in your own city because you definitely have a strong desire now to broaden your horizons in every way possible. Study and explore new and exciting experiences. Travel will delight along with meeting people from different backgrounds. Admittedly, the placement of fiery Mars right now might spark legal difficulties and disputes. Furthermore, you might find yourself in situations where you feel the need to defend your beliefs. Nevertheless, do something to expand and explore your world near or far because this will be gratifying for you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might have been spending big in the summer because now you are truly focused on earnings, shared property, inheritances and how you can get the help of others to boost you financially. (Of course, the greatest labour-saving device is a rich partner.) However, beyond thoughts about shared finances, you are enjoying a romantic, passionate week. Some tension and ego battles about jointly-held property might be settled in the bedroom in a wild, passionate way. Certainly, relations with others are about to get more tender, romantic and affectionate. As your fellow Pisces Jackie Gleason would say, “How sweet it is!

Last supermoon of 2023 rises this week. Don’t miss the Harvest Moon shine with 3 bright planets

Source: www.space.com

Rising on Friday, Sept. 29, the Harvest Moon will be joined in the sky by our solar system’s two largest planets, Jupiter and Saturn, and its smallest, Mercury.

September’s full moon, known as the Harvest Moon, will rise on Friday, Sept. 29 — and it is a special one. Not only will it be the fourth successive supermoon of 2023, but it is also the final supermoon of the year, thus marking the end of a very supermoon summer.

Fittingly for such a special supermoon, the Harvest Moon will also be joined by a parade of planets in the sky, including the solar system’s largest worlds, Jupiter and Saturn, as well as its smallest, Mercury.

From New York City, the fully illuminated moon will rise at around 18:33 EDT (2233 GMT) and set the following day at around 06:52 EDT (1052 GMT), according to In the Sky. Following the full moon, which will be located in the Pisces constellation, the lunar face will recede, a process astronomers call “waning.” After that, Earth‘s natural satellite will head toward its  next intriguing phase, turning into a completely dark new moon on Oct. 14, which will mark the start of a new 29.5-day lunar cycle.

The run of four consecutive supermoons began with the Full Buck Moon on July 3. This was followed by two supermoons in August, the Full Sturgeon Moon on Tuesday, Aug. 1, and the Full Blue Moon on Aug. 30..

The term “supermoon” refers to full moons that happen around the time when the moon is closest to Earth in its orbit, an approach called perigee. This happens because the moon’s orbit around Earth is an ellipse rather than a perfect circle, meaning there are times when it falls further away from our planet and times when it comes closer.

The proximity of the moon during supermoons means the lunar disk can appear around 30% brighter and around 14% larger as seen from Earth compared to the appearance of the lunar face during “regular” full moons. These differences may be visible to moon-watchers with a lot of experience observing lunar events, but aren’t really that noticeable with the unaided eye to skywatchers who don’t often scrutinize the moon.

The moon will reach perigee in the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 27, at around 21:06 EDT (0106 GMT), two days before the Harvest Moon, according to NASA. By the time the moon’s fully illuminated face is turned toward Earth, it will be around 224,657 miles (361,552 kilometers) from our planet, according to eclipse expert and retired NASA astrophysicist Fred Espanak. This is opposed to the moon’s average distance from Earth, which falls around 238,000 miles (382,900 km).

However, this won’t be the closest or, therefore,  brightest supermoon of 2023. During the Aug. 30 Full Blue Moon, the moon was around 222,043 miles (357,343 km) from Earth, according to Espanak.

The first planet to visit the final supermoon of 2023 on Saturday will be Saturn, the second-largest planet in the solar system, which will rise at around 17:18 EDT (2118 GMT) and will sit in the Aquarius constellation, according to In the Sky. Saturn’s fellow gas giant and the solar system’s largest planet, Jupiter, will rise at 20:17 EDT (0017 GMT). Jupiter will sit to the left of the Harvest Moon in the Aries constellation.

Mercury will be the last planet to pay the Harvest Moon a visit and will be the toughest to spot. The closest planet to the sun, Mercury is currently at its furthest from our host star. Though it appears in the morning sky, it disappears in the evening. On Saturday, the solar system’s smallest planet will rise at around 05:30 (0930 GMT). Mercury will share the sky with the full moon for just over an hour before the final supermoon of the year sets.

Skywatchers who miss the Harvest Moon will have to wait a while for the next supermoon, which will also be a Harvest Moon, rising on Sept. 18, 2024. This will be the first of two supermoons next year, with the second occurring a month later on Oct. 17, 2024.

Worm Moon: Full Moon for March 2023

The full Worm Moon reaches its peak in the morning hours of Tuesday, March 7. Look for it to rise after sunset on both Monday and Tuesday! What is a Worm Moon? Here are the real meaning and origins of March’s full Moon—and when you can see this Moon at its brightest!

When to See the Full Moon in March 2023

The final full moon of the winter season will appear on the nights of Monday, March 6, and Tuesday, March 7. Specifically, March’s full Worm Moon reaches peak illumination at 7:42 A.M. ET on Tuesday, March 7, 2023.

Of course, you don’t have to wait until the middle of the night to see the Moon! Look for the spectacularly bright Moon as it rises above the horizon on Monday evening. If your weather is poor on Monday night, try again on Tuesday! See when the Moon will be visible in your area.

If you have just a bit of rain on either of these nights, you may even get to spot a rare phenomenon called a moonbow. A moonbow is just like a solar rainbow, but is created by moonlight (rather than sunlight) when it is refracted through water droplets in the air. Moonbows only happen when the full Moon is fairly low in the sky, so look for one in the hours after sunset when the sky is dark. Learn more about moonbows here!

This March Moon will look especially large to us when it’s near the horizon because of the “Moon illusion,” when it looks bigger when near comparative objects than it does when it’s high in the sky without any references.

Why Is It Called the Worm Moon?

The full Moon names used by The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from a number of places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. Traditionally, each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, not only to the full Moon.

The Surprising Truth Behind the Worm Moon Name

March’s full Moon goes by the name Worm Moon. For many years, we thought this name referred to the earthworms that appear as the soil warms in spring. This invites robins and other birds to feed—a true sign of spring!

However, more research revealed another explanation. In the 1760s, click here to read the rest of this article

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 MoonThis 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.
