The Road and the Milky Way

Image Credit & Copyright: David Cruz

Explanation: At night you can follow this road as it passes through the Dark Sky Alqueva reserve not too far from Alentejo, Portugal. Or you could stop, look up, and follow the Milky Way through the sky. Both stretch from horizon to horizon in this 180 degree panorama recorded on June 3. Our galaxy’s name, the Milky Way, does refer to its appearance as a milky path in the sky. The word galaxy itself derives from the Greek for milk. From our fair planet the arc of the Milky Way is most easily visible on moonless nights from dark sky areas, though not quite so bright or colorful as in this image. The glowing celestial band is due to the collective light of myriad stars along the galactic plane too faint to be distinguished individually. The diffuse starlight is cut by dark swaths of the galaxy’s obscuring interstellar dust clouds. Standing above the Milky Way arc near the top of this panoramic nightscape is bright star Vega, with the galaxy’s central bulge near the horizon at the right.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 1 PM to 5 PM EDT today (10 AM to 2 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you’re in a position to take charge and go after what you want. In particular, this will apply to financial situations and any moneymaking ideas that you might have. Don’t be afraid to chase your dreams. Remember, you are the pioneer of the zodiac. You start things.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You’re very persuasive today in presenting your case to others. Fortunately, Venus in your sign will soften your words. Nevertheless, you have solid, practical, moneymaking ideas; and bosses and people in power will listen to you. (Not too shabby.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is great day for research of any kind. You will find answers to old problems. Meanwhile, you can explore and discover practical solutions related to sports, children’s activities, plus anything related to the arts and the entertainment world. You’ve got this.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Although you are working low-key and behind the scenes, nevertheless, a discussion with someone younger or person in a group will be powerful. This could promote you into a leadership role because people will listen to you today. Make sure you have something to offer.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you are articulate and ready to show the world that you can walk your talk. You have ideas about how to improve things, which you want to share with bosses, supervisors and people who can make things happen. People will support you now.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You make a great impression on others now, which is something you can use to your advantage. In particular, discussions about travel, the law, medicine or anything related to university and college will be productive. People respect you and want to hear what you have to say.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Don’t shy away from taking the helm and making decisions because in fact, you know what you’re talking about today. You will be quick to see the bigger picture. You also see hidden solutions, especially regarding shared property and inheritances.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A conversation with a partner or close friend will be powerful because you can see what goes on beneath the surface of things. It might be the elephant in the room, or you might simply say what you think out loud so that no one doubts what you’re talking about. (Somebody has to do it.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A serious discussion with someone close to you could be revealing today. You might see a way to improve the relationship. Meanwhile, you can get a lot done at work because you’re not afraid to take a stand and do what needs to be done. This could mean getting rid of something (or someone).

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Although you are in the public eye today, this is a productive day for you. People will follow your lead, especially children and younger people. Be confident and say what’s on your mind because you have the opportunity to teach others today either verbally or as a role model.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Home repairs, especially to bathrooms, plumbing areas and anything to do with garbage and recycling can be done today. Get rid of what is no longer needed. Tidy up the place, “and play when the work’s all done.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You’re persuasive today. (Look out world!) Home and family continue to be a primary focus but your ability to convince others to see your point of view will be respected. Obviously, you can use this to your advantage if you are clear about what you want to achieve.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Jeanne Tripplehorn (1963) shares your birthday today. You have a strong, vibrant, emotional personality. People are comfortable with you because you have excellent communication skills. Your loved ones are important to you. This is a year of building and construction for you, both in a literal, physical sense, as well as establishing more structure in your life.

June 10, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. 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. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Visit the June 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on June 10 has an illumination of 79%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On June 10 the Moon is 10.27 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

The 8 Lunar Phases

There are 8 lunar phases the Moon goes through in its 29.53 days lunar cycle. The 4 major Moon phases are Full Moon, New Moon, First Quarter and Last Quarter. Between these major phases, there are 4 minor ones: the Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous and Waning Crescent. For more info on the Moon Cycle and on each phase check out Wikipedia Lunar Phase page.

Arp 286: Trio in Virgo

Image Credit & Copyright: Nicolas Rolland, Telescope.Live

Explanation: This colorful telescopic field of view features a trio of interacting galaxies almost 90 million light-years away, toward the constellation Virgo. On the right two spiky, foreground Milky Way stars echo the extragalactic hues, a reminder that stars in our own galaxy are like those in distant island universes. With sweeping spiral arms and obscuring dust lanes, the dominant member of the trio, NGC 5566, is enormous, about 150,000 light-years across. Just above it lies smaller, bluish NGC 5569. Near center a third galaxy, NGC 5560, is apparently stretched and distorted by its interaction with massive NGC 5566. The trio is also included in Halton Arp’s 1966 Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as Arp 286. Of course, such cosmic interactions are now appreciated as part of the evolution of galaxies.

One Way to Make Your Own Besom Using Branches and Sticks

I suggest gathering these under a full or waxing Moon phase as they will hold more helpful energy. Your Besom can also be used to sweep out the negativity in your sacred place and/or wherever you are going to cast a circle. Remember to ask the tree you get your branch and sticks from even if they are laying on the ground no longer attached to the tree. It is always better to take what you need from a tree or shrub off of the ground beneath it rather than cutting pieces off the tree or shrub. Get a branch about 3 to 4 inches little taller then you are. Gather good size bunch of unstift smaller branches, I have found getting the sticks from under a shrub or pine tree make the best sweeping part of the Besom, if possible the size difference in them should be no more the approximately 2 inches in size. After gathering the branch and sticks remember to thank the tree for the parts it has given you and to leave an offering such as some water out of a container you have drank from. You need a ball of natural thin twine or some type of undryed vine. Tie the twine or vine to the branch making sure it is tight and will not slip off (you may want to by an angular cut about 4 to 5 inch up from the bottom of the branch to slip this twine or vine when securing it. (The size you have at the bottom of your Besom made from the twigs is up to you. Usually doing 2 to 4 layers of sticks make a good size Besom. Lay your first stick against the branch pull the twine or vine around the stick as tightly as you can, continue doing this until you have made you first layer of sticks pull the twine or vine in the opposite direction the you have been placing the in a tightly as possible and tie it off but do not cut the twine or vine. For the next layer you will follow the same instruction except lay the sticks in the opposite direction from the first layer. The third layer will go in the same direction as the first layer and the fourth layer goes in the same direction as the second layer. To help ensure you sticks stay secure to the branch at the end of each layer of sticks pour white glue over the sticks and twine or vine and make sure it gets down to the branch. If you want you can even put glue on the branch as you lay each first layer stick. Let each layer of sticks dry for approximately 24 hours before adding the next layer. When you have done the last layer and have used glue to help hold it together let the entire Besom dry a minimum of 72 hours before using it.

A Laugh for Today

Dance your way into a joy filled weekend!

A Thought for Today

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!

June 9, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Later today is a marvellous time to schmooze with others. You will enjoy talking to partners and close friends because you have something to say. In turn, someone older or more experienced might have advice for you. This is a great day to exchange ideas.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a good money day for you. It’s a solid day for financial negotiations, especially dealing with bosses and people in charge. Support from coworkers will be there for you as well. Whatever you do will have positive repercussions in the future; furthermore, people will approve of your decisions.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today the Sun in your sign is dancing nicely with the Moon and Saturn, which will give you a fine sense of balance. You will have support and confidence in anything you want to do. In other words, you’re in the zone! Go for baroque!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Despite the fact that you are ambitious, today you feel a bit laid-back. (And if you are working, you’re working low key and behind the scenes.) Nevertheless, family discussions will be productive, especially if you need practical and financial support from someone.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a popular day for you! Enjoy schmoozing with others. Stay in contact with friends. Interactions with groups, clubs, classes and conferences will be upbeat and positive. Because of this high, positive energy, you will be enthusiastic about entertaining new goals.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You make a great impression on others today, which is why you will be successful particularly at work and in financial dealings. You might also pursue potential plans for the future regarding travel because you have a strong urge to get outta Dodge.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing nicely with the Sun and Saturn. This favours group activities and promotes opportunities to do whatever you want to do. You’ll have a sober realistic view of things, plus, the patience and fortitude to deal with whatever comes your way.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Act on opportunities to wrap up matters related to taxes, debt, shared property and insurance issues because you will be successful handling these matters. Perhaps you will do something to help solidify your home base? One thing is certain: whatever you do will be practical and sensible.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today someone might have wise advice for you, perhaps someone who is older or more experienced. However, it’s entirely possible that you are the wise Sage dispensing advice to others. Take note: whatever happens might affect your thoughts about future goals. Remember Richard Bach: “Argue for your limitations, and they’re yours.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today you are high viz., but this is probably a good thing because people will admire you. You’re ready to work hard, and you will do whatever is practical and economical to get the job done. You have a lot of common sense today, which others will notice.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Act on your wish to travel or at least, make travel plans today because you will be successful in dealing with the necessary details and red tape. It’s a particularly good day to think about future vacations. It’s also a good time to teach children some practical life skills.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Family discussions will be solid today. Listen to someone older in the family because this is a good day for practical, no-nonsense discussions about what is actually doable. Someone will be ready to lend practical assistance or financial help. (After all, this is a good money year for you.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Michael J Fox (1961) shares your birthday today. You are charming, witty, articulate, playful and entertaining. You are also intelligent and very curious. Although you are very charismatic, you have a serious side. You love to learn. This is a more playful, fun-loving year for you. Enjoy socializing! Rekindle old friendships.

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a  Waxing Gibbous phase. 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. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Cosmic Clouds in Cygnus

Image Credit & Copyright: Wolfgang Zimmermann

Explanation: These cosmic clouds of gas and dust drift through rich star fields along the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy toward the high flying constellation Cygnus. They’re too faint to be seen with the unaided eye though, even on a clear, dark night. Image data from a camera and telephoto lens using narrowband filters was used to construct this 10 degree wide field of view. The deep mosaic reveals a region that includes star forming dust clouds seen in silhouette against the characteristic glow of atomic hydrogen and oxygen gas. NGC 6888 is the standout emission nebula near the top. Blown by winds from an massive Wolf-Rayet star it’s about 25 light-years across and known as the Crescent Nebula. A faint bluish curl just below center in the frame is also the signature of a Wolf-Rayet star. Burning fuel at a prodigious rate and near the end of their stellar lives, both stars will ultimately go out with a bang in a spectacular supernova explosion. Toward the right, a massive, young O type star powers the glow of Sh2-101, the Tulip Nebula.
