Moon Alert
Avoid shopping and important decisions after 4 PM EDT today (1 PM to 11 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Gemini into Cancer.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is the kind of day where it will be wise to make serious plans and think about your long-term future. This is why discussions with others will be practical and down to earth. Listen to the advice of someone older or more experienced because it might be helpful to you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
When it comes to money, shopping or dealing with your wealth today, you will be sensible on all counts. This is why, if you’re shopping, you will want to buy long-lasting, practical items. You’re in the mood to set a budget because you don’t want to be frivolous with your hard-earned cash.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with Saturn, which will give you a more sober, realistic view of life. No question. Because of this, you will put up with difficulties and strain without complaint because you have patience and perseverance.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The past will have a strong attraction for you today. You might want to research legal papers, obituaries, historical facts and archived newspapers to find information that interests you. To stay focused, you might prefer to work alone or behind the scenes.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Welcome the advice of someone older or more experienced than you today because this might help you in some way. Obviously, someone who knows more than you, might help you, and make things easier. This is a good day to think of future goals as well.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You will impress bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs today because they see you as sensible, responsible and trustworthy. (You make an excellent impression on everyone.) In turn, you are happy to give or seek practical advice, especially about cost-cutting measures.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is the perfect day to knuckle down to study or learn something new because you have the patience and perseverance necessary to get the job done. Your views on politics and religion might be more conservative today. You prefer to be careful and cautious.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You won’t move forward with plans about inheritances, shared property or anything to do with insurance settlements until you are confident that you have all the facts, and that your facts are correct. Whatever you do today, you will do with great care and attention to detail.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
A discussion with someone older, or perhaps someone who has more experience in a particular area than you, will benefit you today. You can learn from this person. Possibly, you are the older, wiser, experienced person who can benefit someone else? Could go either way.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You’ll be pleased at how much work you can get done today simply because you are motivated and ready to work hard. Someone older or more experienced might have advice for you. Either way, you’ll be happy to work alone or be by yourself.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today has some serious overtones to it. For example, you might have increased responsibilities with children. Or something to do with a social outing, the arts, or sports might have a new spin on it that requires more attention and care. Tread carefully. Be cautious and play by the rules.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
An older relative or parent might have advice for you today. (It never hurts to listen.) You might also focus on doing something to secure where you live either by making legal arrangements on paper or physically doing home repairs. You want things to be reliable and trustworthy.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Archie Panjabi (1972) shares your birthday today. You are intelligent and imaginative. Sometimes you have a saucy, even rebellious mask, but essentially, you are conservative. You enjoy a playful repartee with others. This year service to others and a strong focus on relationships is your theme. It’s time to rejuvenate yourself and perhaps, do a makeover.

Today’s Waxing Crescent Phase
The Waxing Crescent on May 31 has an illumination of 1%. 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 May 31 the Moon is 0.93 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.

Rocket Transits Rippling Sun
Image Credit & Copyright: Michael Cain
Explanation: The launch of a rocket at sunrise can result in unusual but intriguing images that feature both the rocket and the Sun. Such was the case last month when a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center carrying 53 more Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit. In the featured launch picture, the rocket’s exhaust plume glows beyond its projection onto the distant Sun, the rocket itself appears oddly jagged, and the Sun’s lower edge shows peculiar drip-like ripples. The physical cause of all of these effects is pockets of relatively hot or rarefied air deflecting sunlight less strongly than pockets relatively cool or compressed air: refraction. Unaware of the Earthly show, active sunspot region 3014 — on the upper left — slowly crosses the Sun.

From Moongiant.com
The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a New Moon phase. During this phase the Moon is too close to the sun in the sky to be visible. The moon rises and sets with the sun and is not present in the night sky. Because of this the night sky is darker and an excellent time to view other celestial objects. Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.

Today’s New Moon Phase
The New Moon on May 30 has an illumination of 0%. 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 May 30 the Moon is 0.02 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon.

Red Crepuscular Rays from an Eclipse
Image Credit & Copyright: Fefo Bouvier
Explanation: What’s happening behind that island? Things both expected and unexpected. Expected, perhaps, the pictured rays of light — called crepuscular rays — originate from the Sun. Unexpected, though, the Sun was being partially eclipsed by the Moon at the time — late last month. Expected, perhaps, the Sun’s rays are quite bright as they shine through gaps in below-horizon clouds. Unexpected, though, the crepuscular rays are quite red, likely the result an abundance of aerosols in Earth’s atmosphere scattering away much of the blue light. Expected, with hope, a memorable scene featuring both the Moon and the Sun, superposed. Unfortunately, from this location — in Uruguay looking toward Argentina — clouds obscured the eclipse — which wasn’t completely unexpected. However, after packing up to go home, the beauty of bright red crepuscular rays emerged — quite unexpectedly. Oh — and that island on the horizon — it’s really two islands.
New Moon May 30, 2022 – Karmic Retribution
The Gemini new moon on May 30, 2022 aligns with the Mars-like star Aldebaran. It also coincides with the alignment of Mars and Jupiter. This creates an incredible amount of energy which can easily become aggressive. So the spiritual meaning of the new moon May 2022 astrology relates to constructively challenging any anger and rage.
The May 2022 new moon also coincides with Mercury retrograde square Saturn. Negative thinking and nasty words increase the risk of aggressive energy hurting others. So if you cannot channel this energy into hard work, at least direct it away from the ones you love.
New Moon May 2022 Astrology
The May 30 new moon at 09°03′ Gemini makes no planetary aspects. But it will still have a powerful influence because it aligns with one of the most important fixed stars used in astrology. The fixed star Aldebaran has a Mars nature and is associated with riches, honor, and success in war.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, May 29 to Saturday, June 4, 2022
Click here for Georgia Nicols daily horoscopes
All Signs
This month has been busy with appointments, visits and hectic schedules. By contrast, this week begins on a more mellow note. However, a speedbump on Wednesday will make tempers flare when the Moon is at odds with fiery Mars. Basically, our biggest challenge will be dealing with Mercury retrograde, which began on May 10 in Gemini. Last week, Mercury slipped back into Taurus. This week, it will go direct on Friday, and stay at the same degree for six days, then slowly move forward covering old ground. This creates confusion, delays, mistakes and missed appointments. I feel its influence as I write these words. (In Rome, I used to be called Smarticus; but today I’m Uptititus.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Your fast pace continues as the Sun travels through your House of Communications. It is accelerating the pace of your days with short trips, communications with everyone, appointments and errands. Fortunately, fiery Mars is now in your sign boosting your energy, giving you focus, a sense of purpose and a strong drive. Physical exercise will be a wise choice to burn off any pent-up energy building up within you. Mercury retrograde can help you restructure financing or finish financial matters. It might even help you get a job where you applied before. Meanwhile, Venus encourages fun shopping and buying beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. It will also attract money to you. Ka-ching!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your focus on finances continues to be strong. In fact, at a deeper level, some of you are giving thought to your deeper values. In other words, you’re asking yourself, “What really matters?” Fortunately, fair Venus, your ruler, has just moved into your sign, which paves the way for smoother communications with others because Venus always makes you more diplomatic and charming. (Take note: the next few weeks are an ideal time for you to shop for wardrobe treasures.) Meanwhile, old friends and ex-partners are back in your life because Mercury retrograde slipped back into your sign last week. On a more sinister note, be aware of anyone who might suddenly be working against your best interests. If you think something fishy is going on – it is.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You continue to be empowered because the Sun is in your sign. (It stays there until the summer solstice of June 21.) Appreciate this good fortune! It attracts important people and good situations to you. Meanwhile, fiery Mars and Jupiter will encourage your popularity, especially with groups. Many of you will be involved more than usual in a competitive way with others, probably physical sports. Secret love affairs and exciting flirtations might take place behind the scenes. (You love the adoration of your friends.) Naturally, your everyday world suffers from delays, goofy mistakes and misplaced items because Mercury is retrograde, and Mercury is your ruler. (!) Stay on top of potential car problems.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Your personal year is coming to an end; but your new year will not begin until the summer solstice on June 21. This means you feel a bit like you’re in limbo. And in a way, you are. The ideal way to use this “in between” time is to do some soul-searching and think about your deeper values in life. What principles guide you? Because Jupiter is at the top of your chart this year, (something that can occur only once every 12 years), you look good to others. People admire you, especially bosses and VIPs. Therefore, it’s important for you to have self-confidence and a clearer idea of who you are. The more you can determine this – the more you will shine in your world!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Your popularity continues! Take advantage of opportunities to socialize with others. Reach out to meet someone for coffee or lunch. Renew old friendships and enjoy getting involved again with groups and organizations. Many of us have lost our social skills to Covid isolation. This is the perfect time for you to begin to flex those social muscles and get in contact with others. Enjoy schmoozing! You actually look very attractive to the world right now because fair Venus is at the top of your chart promoting relations, even flirtations with important people. Some of you will fall in love. Nevertheless, all your personal relationships are favoured now. Make plans to travel if you can because you want a change of scenery!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
The Sun is at the top of your chart for the next three weeks. (This happens only once a year.) Therefore, make the best of this! Symbolically, it means that the Sun is “shining down on you”. Furthermore, this light is flattering! Therefore, this influence means that important people, bosses, parents, teachers and anyone in a position of power see you (almost magically) as very capable, very competent. They admire your achievements – even though you don’t do anything different. (Go figure.) It really is magic lighting! Since this is a once-a-year blessing, demand the advantage in financial matters, discussions about inheritances, making travel plans or exploring publishing options. You hold the winning hand!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
For the next three weeks, your desire to travel and get a change of scenery continues to be strong. Therefore, grab every chance to take a short trip or a long one! This same influence will help you to study and explore new ideas. You might also open opportunities in publishing and the media. It definitely favours legal matters and the study of law. Meanwhile, fiery Mars is now opposite your sign, which can create tension and conflict dealing with partners, fellow workers etc. On the other hand, you are a people pleaser; and Mars will give you the courage to speak up and defend yourself. This could be a good thing. (Keep your pockets open because money and gifts will come your way.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You feel passionately about everything right now! (Your feelings are heightened.) It will be helpful to practice techniques like counting the breath, so that you have more mind control. If you don’t control your mind, it will be running the show! Fortunately, favourable things are helping you now. Fiery Mars makes you want to work hard and work efficiently. Meanwhile, fair Venus is opposite your sign paving the way for smooth relations with others. This is particularly timely because you are contacting old friends and hearing from ex-partners since Mercury Retrograde has slipped back to oppose your sign. This could be an opportunity for closure and clarification with someone. Take it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Remember to get more sleep this week because symbolically speaking (in your chart) the Sun is now as far away from your sign as it can get all year. (And the Sun is your source of energy.) Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde has not only resurrected people from your past (now that it has slipped back into Taurus), it will create problems and delays in your work. Equipment problems, staff shortages, misplaced items, late deliveries and goofy mistakes are frustrating. No question. Fortunately, Venus will help you accept these frustrations with grace and civility. Your relations with coworkers will still be friendly and warm. Competitive sports are on the menu for many. This is timely because you are physically active and assertive! “I am!”
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You’re not a slacker; and this week is another example of how you will accomplish a lot because you work hard! Incidentally, not only will you be working hard, whatever you do will also boost your health and overall vigour. It’s wise to focus on any task that you set for yourself to get away from the chaotic activity taking place at home, which can create family tension. Fortunately, offsetting this, fair Venus and Mercury Retrograde bring you opportunities to socialize, slip away on a vacation, enjoy good times with others, enjoy the arts and also enjoy playful activities with kids. Romance will also be saucy! (Old flames are back in the picture.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Lucky you! The Sun will continue to promote opportunities for vacations, playful outings, fun activities with kids, the arts, and abundant opportunities to express your creative talents for the next three weeks! (“Mom always liked you best.”) Nevertheless, many of you are enjoying entertaining at home along with redecorating where you live because relatives and family members you haven’t seen for a while are visiting, and hopefully, helping you with some projects. Your optimism and enthusiasm are very strong now because both Mars and Jupiter are in your House of Communications. This is a fantastic opportunity for those of you who sell, market, teach, act or write. Yada, yada, yada
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Home and family continue to be your primary focus for the next three weeks. (This includes increased interactions with a parent.) You will feel happy to nest and cocoon at home because you feel safe. You welcome the security of familiar surroundings. Meanwhile, you will work hard to earn money, which is a good thing because you will be earning more money this year. Yay! You will get richer! Nevertheless, at the moment, Mercury retrograde will create car problems, transportation delays, mixed-up communications, missed appointments and silly, goofy mistakes. On the upside, you will enjoy meeting friends and relatives you haven’t seen for a while. “Hail fellow, well met!”
A Thought for Today
Relax, meditate, and above all do something you enjoy!

May 29, 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 Waning Crescent phase. 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. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. 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.
Visit the May 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
Today’s Waning Crescent Phase
The Waning Crescent on May 29 has an illumination of 1%. 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 May 29 the Moon is 28.64 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.

Video about Simulation TNG50: A Galaxy Cluster Forms
Simulation TNG50: A Galaxy Cluster Forms
Video Credit: IllustrisTNG Project; Visualization: Dylan Nelson (Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics) et al.
Music: Symphony No. 5 (Ludwig van Beethoven), via YouTube Audio Library
Explanation: How do clusters of galaxies form? Since our universe moves too slowly to watch, faster-moving computer simulations are created to help find out. A recent effort is TNG50 from IllustrisTNG, an upgrade of the famous Illustris Simulation. The first part of the featured video tracks cosmic gas (mostly hydrogen) as it evolves into galaxies and galaxy clusters from the early universe to today, with brighter colors marking faster moving gas. As the universe matures, gas falls into gravitational wells, galaxies forms, galaxies spin, galaxies collide and merge, all while black holes form in galaxy centers and expel surrounding gas at high speeds. The second half of the video switches to tracking stars, showing a galaxy cluster coming together complete with tidal tails and stellar streams. The outflow from black holes in TNG50 is surprisingly complex and details are being compared with our real universe. Studying how gas coalesced in the early universe helps humanity better understand how our Earth, Sun, and Solar System originally formed.
