A Thought for Today

Until tomorrow and all through your lifetime dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive! 

I have all of the northern hemisphere’s regular daily posts for tomorrow ready to go. I have the same for the southern hemisphere’s tomorrow. YEAH! I am finally more or less ready to get out of the dark playground in my mind and start living for just today again. The old saying, “If you have one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow you will piss all over today.” I have been straddling today for too long and feel that have been unfair to all of you. I am very grateful to everyone for being supportive, understanding and patient with me not posting as I work through things and illnesses. I will not say my clinical depression and anxiety disorder are totally under control again, but I am working on getting them controlled enough that I am not afraid to leave me home. Yes, I have been staying in my home basically 24/7 unless there is something I have to do that I cannot pawn off onto Lord Beltane. But to leave my home and yard I am picturing myself as a tiny mouse in a maze that no other human can see me in otherwise, I would feel like everyone is staring at me and whispering about me. I truly hope that me writing about my depression and anxiety has reached at least one person to realize they are not alone with how they feel and that I validate their feelings.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping and important decisions from 7 AM to 12:15 PM EDT today (4 AM to 9:15 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Pisces into Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

After the Moon moves into Aries today, you have that feeling that everything is just fine! You’re happy! This is why you will feel generous to others and want to help wherever you can. Others will respond in kind. This is a good thing.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is an excellent day for meditation, introspection and quiet time to think about your values. You might also entertain lighter ideas and decide what makes you happy? What can you do to give yourself a treat today? (You love good food and drink.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a wonderful day to relate to groups and organizations. Time spent with a friend will be rewarding. If you have to speak to a group, you will be convincing. In fact, you can expect support from others because you will rally them to your cause.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You make a wonderful impression on others today. Everyone, especially bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs, will see you as successful, affluent, generous and kind. (It sounds a bit much, doesn’t it?) Nevertheless, enjoy your good press.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you’re keen to travel or have a change of scenery because you want adventure and stimulation in your life! If you can’t travel, then go someplace you’ve never been before. It will also excite you to learn something fascinating or meet interesting people.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

If you’re dealing with financial matters today, especially related to debt, inheritances, important insurance issues – do not sign anything important during the Moon Alert. (See above.) However, these discussions will tend to go your way because you will attract favours and wealth to you today.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is an excellent day to deal with members of the public or talk to large groups because you will easily establish a strong rapport with others. You will intuitively know what to say so that they agree with you. Today you will get what you give, especially in terms of kindness and friendship.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your health will feel invigorated today. You might also have affectionate, playful times with a pet that give you joy. Look for ways to improve your job or get a better job because they do exist. However, agree to nothing important during the Moon Alert. Wait until it’s over.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a great day to schmooze and have fun. In particular, you will enjoy activities with groups or interacting with the general public. This is also a wonderful day to participate in or watch sports events, as well as fun activities with kids.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Do entertain at home today because people are in an upbeat mood. Furthermore, they are generous, which means everyone is open to helping each other. By extension, some of you might discover a profitable real-estate deal today. (Check Moon Alert.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Because you are optimistic and upbeat today, you will enjoy hanging out with relatives, neighbours and siblings, mainly because they will enjoy hanging out with you. This is a great day for a short trip. It is also a good time to study or learn something new.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might see ways to boost your income today or to make a profit or to increase your wealth in some way because these opportunities do exist. However, do nothing during the Moon Alert: from 7 AM to 12:15 PM EDT today (4 AM to 9:15 AM PDT. Wait until it’s over.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Matt Damon (1970) shares your birthday today. You are a creative person who is a charming conversationalist. People like you. You are talented in many areas. You are casual, yet, decisive. This year is about service, especially to family. Therefore, you have to take care of yourself so that you can be a support to others. Time for a makeover?

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you might be caught off guard by something, which in turn, puts you at odds with relatives, siblings and neighbours. Take a moment and catch your breath. Get your bearings. Look at things from the point of view of someone else so you can fine tune your approach to things.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

A friend or a member of a group might surprise you today, especially about their take on financial matters. Or perhaps this is about something you own? A possession? Maybe they want money from you or they refuse to pay you? Not good.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Some of you are surprised because of something that a boss, parent, teacher or the police say. “Busted!” In turn, this might irk you, or make you feel rebellious or angry. Take a moment before you lose your cool. Never underestimate the power of courtesy.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Steer clear of controversial subjects that might catch you off guard today and in fact, irritate you. Don’t get your belly in a rash. Others might encounter obstacles to travel plans or anything to do with higher education, medicine and the law. Double check everything, so you know what’s happening.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Stay in touch with your bank account and anything related to inheritances and shared property because something out of the blue might create a problem. Make no assumptions. Check out details so that you are current with things. Be patient with friends and members of groups to make sure you get the facts.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Quite likely, a partner or close friend will throw you a curveball today. If you feel caught off guard, you might overreact. Or perhaps, news from a friend or partner will make you upset with a parent, boss or someone in authority? (“He said what?”) Don’t say anything you will later regret.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Something related to your job, your health or even a pet that you own might ruffle your feathers today. This could put you at odds with someone from another culture, especially if you start discussing politics or religion. (It’s hard to keep your shirt on when you want to get something off your chest.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Parents: Please be vigilant about your kids today because this might be an accident-prone day for them. Know where they are at all times. Protect toddlers from hazardous situations. Meanwhile, social plans might be suddenly cancelled. Guard against sports accidents.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Family conversations might be heated today because of something unexpected. Appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur, which perhaps leads to an argument? Don’t take your frustrations out on others. You can you to be part of the problem or part of the solution.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this could be an accident-prone day for you. Therefore, think before you speak or act. You might be annoyed about something, which makes you argue with a coworker. One thing is certain – you hate waste.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Be patient with your kids today. Likewise, be patient with romantic partners. Meanwhile, keep your eyes open because you might find money or you might lose money. Guard your possessions against loss, theft or damage. It’s a crapshoot today!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today you might be excited because of fresh, new ideas or something unusual that suddenly takes place. Perhaps you want to take action, but a family member or a situation at home stands in your way or opposes you. Grrr. Easy does it.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Cellist Yo-Yo Ma (1955) shares your birthday today. You have a strong appreciation of beauty. You are disciplined and hard-working. You value your independence and individuality. This is a year of change for you. In fact, you will demand more personal freedom, which is why you will let go of anything that you feel is holding you back.

Posts Will be Caught Up Sometime Today

The bruising continues on the back of the broken toe and the ones on either side of it.

First any ideas besides tapeing toes together for a broken, next to little toe, toe on my left foot? We have a beautiful deer family that visits us inn our backyard, across the street, and in the empty lot next door. They are amazing to watch especially the fawns we have watch grow from nursing as mom eats to them now eating along side of her. Well, all but Starbabie, my ESA Un- Chihuahua Chihuahua, love to try to give the deer a hard time so we check to see if they are around mostly when our, Min Pin Cleopatra, big male- German Shepherd/Pit mix- Merlin and big female – German Shepherd/Pit/Rottweiler/ Wolf/Chow mix – Dreamer, fur kids are taken out. I did not see them yesterday and took the two of them out. They spotted them and Dreamer, very unusual forcher to do something like this, lunged as I was coming down the last step where the sidewalk has broken off from the rest of the side walk leaving about an inch or so gap. My shoe came off and my foot turned some how breaking my toe and spraining my knee. Today it my foot and toe are a pretty shade of purple and black, need to look at something good to offset the pain lol, and I cannot walk without using my cane because my balance is off. I found this out the hard way when I got up to take our loving fur kids out and fell back on to the bed. It was funny watching Merlin’s reaction as he turned his head from side to side to try to figure out if I was playing some kind of game. I am elevating it above my hip and icing for 20 minutes every other hour. Getting ready to brew a small thermos of White Williow Bark tea for the pain and a cup of Comfery Leaf to help with the bruising (DO NOT DRINK COMFERY LEAF TEA! IT IS FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY) So any other helpful ideas are greatly appreciated

Now, for the important stuff. Today once again I will be catching up birthday horoscopes and doing today’s Moon phase. I know it is already October 6th or 7th depending on which hemisphere you live in but I am going to finish the monthly posts. I figure better late than not do them at all…Right? Since I will be sitting down as much as possible I am hoping to get tomorrow’s regular posts done for both hemispheres too but please do not need upset if these do not happen until tomorrow.

🤞fingers crossed that I do not have to take anymore time off because I am sick 🤞

Thank you so much to my long, medium, and short term folders for sticking with me while I post sporadically since mid-August. A close friend and mentor use the phrase “Dropping a Love Bomb on everyone reading this.” I think it is very appropriate for me to use it here but tweaked to be my own…

From my heart to yours dear Sisters, Brothers, and Honored Guests…Here is a virtual love bomb filled with love, peace, contentment, and a whole bunch of other positive things!

A Tought for Today

These are words I really need to remember especially now. I have been sleeping around 18 to 19 hours in every 24 since last Saturday and still feel exhausted but I know it is my body trying to heal itself so for now I am ok with sleeping that much.

My biggest problem is the increase in nightmares from a bunch of things including but not limited to fatal car accidents, my mom dad and Sonny sitting up in their coffins to tell me just one more thing, along with other things I do not want to bring into the light of day.

My psychologist has me Journaling about the nightmares ans PTSD not fun but it is helping. I just with I could get the above mentioned people into a nice forest or field or anywhere but their coffins. I talked to relatives and close friends beyond the veil anytime they come to me when I am awake. Why these 3 have to interrupt my sleep I probably will never know…lol

Have a terrific Tuesday dear Sisters, Brothers, and Honored Guests. My your journey in this lifetime be full of all positive energy and things.

UGH I Hate Being Sick

I went to our urgent care. After chest x-rays, covid test, and blood work it turns out I have pneumonia in both lungs. The x-rays show white in about half of each of them. I am now on an antibiotic and prednisone for 10 days. Along with using steaming water with eucalyptus in it to help open my air ways. If it was not for having allergy indeed asthma, fall allergy season where I live is bad because of all the crops being harvested and ragweed is everywhere, I would not use the prednisone. The doctor said because I have a low immune system the left over coughing and shortness of breathe after having covid in mid August with bad environmental allergies did not allow my lungs yo stay clear of bacteria and the financial stress and emotional stress of Sonny’s death combined to cause a perfect storm allowing bacteria into my lungs to become pneumonia.

Hopefully I will start feeling better tomorrow. Today is going to be spent relaxing and sleeping. I could use healing and positive thoughts from all of you please.

May you be blessed with good health and all positive things coming into your life.

October 2, 2022 Birthday Horoscope

May the next year of your life be better than the past year!  

Click here to read anyone’s birthday horoscope from sunsigns.org

OCTOBER 2 birthday horoscope predicts that you are overflowing with appealing qualities. You’re charming, sexy and beautiful. Not only that but you are smart. Libra, it goes without saying, people envy you. You take great pleasure in knowing that you look your best from head to toe. You love spending money on fashionable clothes and accessories.

This October 2nd birthday personality typically likes the “nice” things life has to offer. Usually, you are coordinated, but you have a style of your own. This artistic quality is a part of who you are.

The October 1st zodiac shows that you are gifted with an ingenious sense of peacekeeping. Your imagination makes for a creative solution to any problem that could arise. Additionally, you are hilarious. No one can stay angry or sad around you.

Your loved ones are thankful for your fairness and mood changing abilities. Unlike others with the same zodiac sign, this Libra birthday person can be found around a lot of upbeat individuals particularly at the local hang out spot.

You are a romantic source of pleasure but you are extremely sensitive, and it is so easy to hurt your feelings because of this. You have had your share of disappointment where love is concerned, but you mend your broken heart and try it again. You love to be in love. I don’t blame you… it feels good.

If today October 2 is your birthday,  you have been given extra helpings of defining qualities. You have a certain intellectual capacity that reflects in your relationships. Finding that special someone can be difficult for you but once you have found your true love, you go all in with unique ways to maintain a happy union.

The October 2nd horoscope predicts that you can be a passionate partner and are inventive when it comes to ensuring a pleasantly surprising evening. The “perfect” partner for someone born on this day is perhaps the individual who is a mirror image of you. This would make a peaceable and well-balanced relationship.

Being born on October 2, you should have positive memories of your childhood. Normally, you will continue to have a close-knit relationship with your family. Therefore, you are likely to be an active and concerned parent.

As with your parents, you know that discipline plays a key role in bringing up a productive child and also that an affectionate parent makes a difference in how a child responds emotionally as an adult.

If we could talk about your health, it could be said that the October 2 birthday personality is known for generally lacking a desire to work out or go to a gym. You tend to not put much emphasis on staying fit. You love to laze and enjoy life.

But you could do yourself a favor and at least take a walk a few times a week. Making sweets a reward for taking care of your health a little more could be acceptable if you did this in moderation.

Those born on this October 2 birthday love nice things, and the only way to have this is to spend money on it. You’d like to save for the rainy day, but you feel that you are saving by purchasing things that are on sale.

The October 2nd astrology also shows that you have a choice of careers. Although picking one particular profession could be an issue as you like being in the public eye.

You are excellent at media management, and you are a natural giver. Therefore, you could teach, you could be a therapist, or you could join the fight for a cause or cure. You could do something no one has done before.

This October 2 Libran birthday people are typically self-starters and are curious individuals. You love learning new things and will not hesitate to continue your education.

However, when you are in this stage of life, you are not, for the most part, friendly and friendships tend to suffer because of it. You tend to avoid places that are loud or places that have too many restrictions.

You turn heads as someone born on October 2. While in a partnership, you find yourself involved in making fantasies come true. Your appreciation for beauty is only a compliment to your romantic visions.

Realizing your boundaries in health issues is the significant factor in your case. It could be the very thing that sets up apart from the rest of the people belonging to the Scales sign.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or big decisions after 5:30 PM EDT today (2:30 PM PDT). The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Avoid being righteous today, which is a temptation. When it comes to politics, religion or your personal beliefs, you might want to challenge others, especially because you have the support of someone older or more experienced. But what is the point? A pyrrhic victory? Remember: There are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Disputes about some kind of financial arrangement, shared property, taxes, insurance matters or an inheritance might arise today. Perhaps, you will appeal to the authority of someone older or in power. More likely, you will gain ground by joining the efforts of coworkers.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might feel annoyed with a close friend or partner today, especially about traditional beliefs or politics. Instead, focus on fun-loving, entertaining diversions. Why not? Accept invitations to party and socialize. Enjoy sports events and fun activities with kids. Have fun!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a lovely day to entertain at home or to invite people to congregate where you live. You might show off new ways you have improved your home. Admittedly, disputes concerning pets, your health, or your job might sidetrack you. Don’t waste your energy. Go with what works.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Parents might find relations with their kids to be challenging today. It happens. It certainly goes with the territory. Assistance from someone older might help. Meanwhile, interactions with siblings, relatives and neighbours will be upbeat. Enjoy a short trip.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a good day for financial matters plus business and commerce. In fact, you might resurrect old ideas or finish a project, which ultimately leads to increased earnings or a financial boon for you. Don’t waste time on domestic squabbles, especially with female relatives. You don’t need this.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You like harmony around you. (This is why you are a people pleaser.) Avoid arguments with daily contacts today, which might easily arise. Instead, focus on relations with partners and close friends, which will be warm and supportive. Avoid disagreeable people because life is short (and fat.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Steer clear of financial disputes, because they might ruin your day instead. Instead, enjoy quiet times with yourself and a few others in a private way. Good news about your health, as well as fun times with pets, will be a source of pleasure. Be happy!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is the classic day for an irritable exchange with a friend or partner because you’re both annoyed or you disagree with each other. Try to set that aside so that you can focus on interactions with clubs or groups, or a friend who is creative and artistic. This will save your day.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It might be tough dealing with someone today, especially because you feel you can’t speak up. (You’re doing a slow boil behind the scenes, which is frustrating.) Fortunately, relations with parents, bosses and family members are positive. Go with what works.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Difficulties with kids, social situations or sports events might arise today. Your best option is to sidestep these difficult situations, which will only lead to some grief. Instead, talk to relatives, daily contacts and siblings because these interactions will be upbeat and pleasant.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Family squabbles and domestic challenges might take place today. Avoid these if you can. Ironically, this is an excellent day for business and commerce plus financial negotiations. If you play your cards right, money, gifts and goodies will come to you. Go where your bread is buttered! (This is a no-brainer.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

The 38th US President Jimmy Carter (1924) shares your birthday today. You are dignified. Even though are charming and likable, you like to be in control. You are confident and proud of your efforts to work hard. This year you reap the benefits of all your hard work because others notice your talents. You might be in the spotlight!

Scientists Studying Earth’s Trees Issue a Stark Warning to Humanity

From soaring coastal redwoods to dinosaur-era Wollemi pines and firs that make the perfect Christmas trees, even our most revered woody plants are in an awful lot of trouble.

But it turns out that losing some species won’t just endanger local forests; it will threaten entire ecosystems, says a new study.

Last year, a global assessment titled State of the World’s Trees found a shocking one-third of all tree species are currently teetering on the edge of existence.

This amounts to about 17,500 unique tree species that are endangered.

That’s more than double the number of all threatened tetrapods (mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles).

Some trees are so rare that only a single known individual remains, like the lonesome palm in Mauritius, Hyophorbe amaricaulis.

In a new paper, the same team of researchers behind the State of the World’s Trees reports issues a “warning to humanity” about the consequences of these losses, backed by 45 other scientists from 20 different countries.

Conservation biologist Malin Rivers from Botanic Gardens Conservation International and colleagues outline the many impacts these losses will have on our economies, livelihoods, and food.

Most of our fruit comes from trees, as do many nuts and medicines, with non-timber products amounting to about US$88 billion worth of trade.

In the developing world, 880 million people rely on firewood for fuel, and 1.6 billion people live within 5 kilometers (3 miles) of a forest, relying on them for food and income.

All up, trees contribute about US$1.3 trillion annually to the global economy, yet…

Equinox Sunrise Around the World

Collage Image Copyright: Luca Vanzella

Explanation: A planet-wide collaboration resulted in this remarkable array of sunrise photographs taken around the September 2022 equinox. The images were contributed by 24 photographers, one in each of 24 nautical time zones around the world. Unlike more complicated civil time zone boundaries, the 24 nautical time zones are simply 15 degree longitude bands corresponding to 1 hour steps that span the globe. Start at the upper right for the first to experience a sunrise in the nautical time zone corresponding to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) + 12 hours. In that time zone, the photographer was located in Christchurch, New Zealand. Travel to the west by looking down the column and then moving to the column toward the left for later sunrises as the time zone offset in hours from UTC decreases. Or, you can watch a video of September 2022 equinox sunrises around planet Earth.
