A Thought for Today

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!
June 18, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Click here for Georgia Nicols daily horoscopes
Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or important decisions from 2:30 PM to 7:15 PM EDT today (11:30 AM to 4:15 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a tough day. Relations with older friends or people in authority will be strained or difficult. You might chafe because someone tries to boss you around or take over. (Don’t they know you’re the general?) Be patient because this too, shall pass.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is a poor day to ask for permission or approval from a boss or a parent because relations with others in general are difficult; but specifically, they are testy with people in authority. Yes, timing is everything. (And yes, the more things change, the more they stay insane.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You are in a strong position now because both the Sun and your ruler Mercury are in your sign. Nevertheless, this is a poor day to argue or discuss controversial issues like politics, religion and racial matters because these discussions will quickly become power struggles. Oy.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a poor day (for many reasons) for important decisions about banking, mortgages, contracts or anything to do with shared property. This also applies to shared responsibilities. Bide your time and wait until next week to seal the deal. Meanwhile, tread water.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Relations with others are not smooth today. People are paranoid. They’re inclined to play sly, passive aggressive games. (You need this like a fish needs a bicycle.) Nevertheless, it’s possible that someone in a position of influence will help you today. Be receptive to offers that come your way.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Power plays and difficult dealings with coworkers are likely today. You might have squabbles about a pet or something related to your health? The point is that people are not straightforward today. They are distrustful. Cope as best you can. (Trust everyone and always lock your door.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Children might be an increased responsibility for some reason today. Likewise, social plans might be more of an onerous obligation than an enjoyable escape. (“You gotta do what you gotta do.”) Be straightforward with your kids. Be honest with romantic partners. No power plays.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is a poor day to seek the cooperation of a parent, boss or someone in a position of power because these dealings will not flow smoothly. Someone will raise objections or create obstacles for you. Knowing this ahead of time, table any decisions or requests you have until next week.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Basically, you are an optimist. In fact, outdoor activity and optimism are survival issues for you. Today however, you might fall into worry mode. Remember the saying: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.”
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Romantic relations might be on the rocks today. Beware of jealousy, accusations or mistrust. Power struggles are also possible. Since you know this is the tenor of this day, tread carefully and be patient with everyone. Take the high road.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today the Moon is in your sign lined up with stern Saturn, which is always a fleeting, depressing influence. (“Why me, oh Lord?”) Domestic problems might occur. Meanwhile, you feel cut off from your emotions. This is temporary. Tomorrow is a better day!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Be patient with others, especially siblings, relatives and neighbours, because it’s easy for things to go south in a New York minute. (People are touchy!) They are quick to put a negative spin on things or mistrust you. Easy does it.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Richard Madden (1986) shares your birthday today. You are a straightforward, honest person. You are also an interesting combination of being careful and cautious, and yet, at the same time, being willing to take a risk. Good news: This is a creative, fun-loving year for you! Your zest for life is strong because it’s your turn to have some fun. (Enjoy yourself but remember your goals.)

June 18 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 June 18

The Gamma Cygni Nebula
Image Credit & Copyright: Min Xie, Chen Wu, Yizhou Zhang, and Benchu Tang
Explanation: Supergiant star Gamma Cygni is at the center of the Northern Cross. Near the plane of our Milky Way galaxy, that famous asterism flies high in northern summer night skies in the constellation Cygnus the Swan. Known by the proper name Sadr, Gamma Cygni also lies just below center in this telescopic skyscape, with colors mapped from both broadband and narrowband image data. The field of view spans about 3 degrees (six Full Moons) on the sky and includes emission nebula IC 1318 and open star cluster NGC 6910. Filling the upper part of the frame and shaped like two glowing cosmic wings divided by a long dark dust lane, IC 1318’s popular name is understandably the Butterfly Nebula. Right of Gamma Cygni, are the young, still tightly grouped stars of NGC 6910. The distance to Gamma Cygni is around 560 parsecs or 1,800 light-years. Estimates for IC 1318 and NGC 6910 range from 2,000 to 5,000 light-years.

You will enjoy schmoozing with friends and groups today. In fact, a conversation with someone might prompt you to rethink some future goals. You’re full of energy and positive vibes, which is why others will enjoy your company.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today you are high viz., which is a good thing because with fair Venus in your sign, you are oh so charming and diplomatic! This is a high energy day, which means you will have to act fast and stay on your toes. Work hard, party hard!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
TGIF! This is a fast-paced day, just the way you like it. (You don’t do boring.) Grab every chance to travel and explore your world so you can enjoy adventure and an opportunity to learn something new. You want to be stimulated! “The game, Mrs. Hudson, is on!”
Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Good Morning Planets from Chile
Image Credit & Copyright: Elke Schulz (Daniel Verschatse Observatory)
Explanation: On June 15, innermost planet Mercury had wandered about as far from the Sun as it ever gets in planet Earth’s sky. Near the eastern horizon just before sunrise it stands over distant Andes mountain peaks in this predawn snapshot from the valley of Rio Hurtado in Chile. June’s other morning planets are arrayed above it, as all the naked-eye planets of the Solar System stretch in a line along the ecliptic in the single wide-field view. Tilted toward the north, the Solar System’s ecliptic plane arcs steeply through southern hemisphere skies. Northern hemisphere early morning risers will see the lineup of planets along the ecliptic at a shallower angle tilting toward the south. From both hemispheres June’s beautiful morning planetary display finds the visible planets in order of their increasing distance from the Sun.

Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 2:30 PM to 6 PM EDT today (11:30 AM to 3 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Things are much cozier today. (Grumpy yesterday is gone.) While the Moon is in Capricorn, you are high viz. and people notice you, especially bosses, parents and VIPs. After it moves into Aquarius, (see Moon Alert), enjoy socializing with others!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today you are a seeker looking for answers, and maybe even the truth with a capitol T. (Who knows where one will discover the meaning of life?) Later in the day, do be aware that people notice you, especially people in authority.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Things are pretty mellow today. However, they begin with the Moon in one of your Money Houses; therefore, be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert. (See above.) Later in the day, things are easy-going, fun and exploratory. You will thrill to new ideas!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Be prepared to go more than halfway today, while the Moon is opposite your sign. However, after it moves into Aquarius (see Moon Alert above), you will wrap up money matters, especially related to banking and shared property.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
As this day begins, you are keen to work hard and be efficient because you want results for your efforts. Nevertheless, during the Moon Alert, efficiency will wane and possibly disappear. (Just enjoy yourself.) Later in the day, a heart-to-heart discussion with someone will please you. “I concur!”
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today begins with a playful vibe. (This is a much lighter day compared to yesterday.) A long lunch with a friend or a fun, social outing will delight. After the Moon Alert is over, you will roll up your sleeves and get busy. “Baby needs a new pair of shoes!”
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Home, family and your private life are your priority this morning. In fact, some of you might want to cocoon at home for a good part of this day. However, once the Moon Alert is over (see above) – you’re ready to party! Make plans for a fun evening.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today you’re eager to communicate your ideas because you have something to say. Be smart and be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert so that you do not agree to anything important or make an important appointment. Late in the day, home and privacy will appeal.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today you’re focused on moneymaking ideas, cash flow and perhaps shopping. If so, be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert (see above). Late in the day, when the Moon Alert is over, short trips, appointments and conversations with others will appeal. Busy you!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You have strong feelings about various issues today because the Moon is still in your sign. Always remember that for two days every month, when the Moon is in your sign, your luck improves! That’s the time to ask the universe for a favour. However, be aware of today’s Moon Alert. (See above.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is a nicer day compared to yesterday. People are happier and up for some fun back-and-forth, which suits you just fine. Enjoy fun times and schmoozing with others. Sports events and playful activities with kids will appeal. By evening, you want to hide. (Need your rest.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
A happier day! You will enjoy talking to others. You will also appreciate your daily surroundings more than usual. Home repairs and family discussions might also be on the books. Take it easy. After the Moon Alert is over, reach out and socialize!
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Anna Cathcart (1003) shares your birthday today. You are forever youthful, persuasive and imaginative. You are quick-witted, articulate and sometimes sharp tongued. At times, you are guarded and keep your distance from others. This year is the beginning of a fresh, new nine-year cycle for you, which means you must be courageous and ready to open any door!
