A Thought for Today

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may you blessed be.

May 20, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Click here for Georgia Nicols daily horoscopes

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 8 AM to 9 AM EDT today (5 AM to 6 AM PDT)). After that, the Moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Get ready because the pace of your days will accelerate for the next four weeks. Fear not because it will be a fun busy. Expect a jampacked schedule of short trips, appointments, and increased reading, writing and studying. Busy you!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You will have an increasing desire to gain better control of your life through the things that you own. In the next four weeks, you will look at your possessions and ask do you own them or do they own you?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Once a year the Sun is in your sign for four weeks and that day has arrived. This means you will restore and replenish yourself. Furthermore, you will attract favourable situations and important people to you. Obviously, this is a blessing.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

For the next four weeks, you will be happier taking a backseat or working alone. Your need for privacy and solitude will be stronger. You want this private time to get to know yourself better. Time for dark chocolate.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your involvement with others will increase in the next four weeks because you want to see people. You want to get in touch with friends; in addition to which many of you will be more involved in groups and organizations. It’s just what’s happening. Enjoy this increased popularity!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The Sun will be travelling across the top of your chart for the next four weeks. This symbolizes that you will be thrust in a flattering spotlight! This means that people will admire you even if you don’t do anything different or anything special. Obviously, this is the time to make your pitch and go after what you want!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You will have a stronger than usual desire to travel and expand your world by any means in the next four weeks. Therefore, give yourself a chance to explore! Take a course. Travel if possible. Go someplace you’ve never been before. Learn new things and meet unusual people.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You want to tidy up loose ends in the next four weeks, especially with paperwork and issues related to wills, inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property. Sometimes we try to ignore these things. However, you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and dig in. Bravo!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The Sun will be sitting across from your sign for the next four weeks, which will draw your attention to your closest friends and partners. Not only will this be a strong focus for you, this polarized position of the Sun will give you greater objectivity to see how you relate to others. A valuable learning curve!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You will accomplish a lot in the next four weeks because you will be motivated to work efficiently and effectively so that you get the best results for your efforts. These high standards might translate as well into your health, which means you might be on a health kick as well!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Lucky you! The next four weeks will be playful, lighthearted and fun-loving. Take a vacation if you can. Enjoy fun activities with children. Explore the theatre and the arts. Embrace sports activities, as well as romantic tete-a-tetes. (Be still my beating heart.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Home and family will be your strong focus in the next four weeks. Some of you will be involved with a parent more than usual. This is a good time to do some self-scrutiny and perhaps benefit from counselling.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Timothy Olyiphant (1968) shares your birthday today. You are a warm, loving person who shows strength and solidity. People turn to you for support. Sometimes you are dramatic and in an eccentric way. (This makes you interesting.) This year you will focus on work, building and construction. You might do this externally or introduce internal structure within.

May 20, 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 Gibbous Phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon occurs. It lasts roughly 7 days with the Moon’s illumination growing smaller each day until the Moon becomes a Last Quarter Moon with an illumination of 50%. The average Moon rise for this phase is between 9pm and Midnight depending on the age of the phase. The moon rises later and later each night setting after sunrise in the morning. During this phase the Moon can also be seen in the early morning daylight hours on the western horizon.

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

Today’s Waning Gibbous Phase

The Waning Gibbous on May 20 has an illumination of 75%. 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 20 the Moon is 19.7 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.

2022 May 20

A View from Earth’s Shadow

Image Credit & Copyright: Maxime Oudoux

Explanation: This serene sand and skyscape finds the Dune of Pilat on the coast of France still in Earth’s shadow during the early morning hours of May 16. Extending into space, the planet’s dark umbral shadow covered the Moon on that date. From that location the total phase of a lunar eclipse had begun before moonset. Still in sunlight though, the International Space Station crossed from the western horizon and Earth’s largest artificial moon traced the bright flat arc through the sky over 400 km above. Simply constructed, the well-planned panoramic scene was captured over a 5 minutes in a series of consecutive images.

A Thought for Today

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may you blessed be.

May 19, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Move forward with confidence when dealing with financial matters today. These could relate to current earnings, or potential future earnings; but ideally, it will be matters that you have already set in motion. Trust your “big” ideas! You’re on a roll!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Sun in your sign is dancing with big daddy Pluto, which gives you a powerful energy to look around you and decide what needs to be changed or improved. Do you need to introduce reforms into your daily world? You can make these changes rather easily now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today your ruler Mercury is retrograde, and dancing with lucky Jupiter, which means you have lots of optimistic, hopeful energy to finish projects that you have already started. Your hopes and wishes are more important to you today. Write down your plans for the future. Get a bead on where you’re headed.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will find that you will express yourself more forcefully talking to friends and members of groups today. Because you can do this so easily, you will make a strong impression on someone! (If you see the hair blowing back over their ears, take it easy.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

A discussion with a parent or boss will be intense and powerful today. Be careful you don’t cross a line and threaten them in any way because you will be forceful. You want to get things done and you want to move quickly! Nevertheless, remember that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might want to avoid subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today because these will be buttons that could trigger arguments with others. This is because you are coming on like gangbusters, even if you don’t realize it. Note: Someone else might come on just as strong! This is a recipe for a fight.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You can see how to improve a financial arrangement with someone today. It might be about reducing debt or dealing with taxes and insurance issues. It might be a better arrangement on how to deal with shared property? One thing is certain: You’ll have no trouble making your case.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you might attract someone to you who is very powerful. (“Hi Darth.”) Nevertheless, you will also be powerful — so express yourself with care and good judgment. This is an excellent day to join forces with someone to investigate something.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you’re gung-ho to introduce reforms so that you can improve your health. Meanwhile, some of you will use this same energy to introduce reforms to your job or how you do your work. The bottom line is you intend to make things better!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Whether you are in sports or the arts or music, be aware that today is an excellent day to practice something. That’s because you will get way more results for your efforts than you usually would. Practice dance, arpeggios, catching a ball, batting, martial arts – whatever.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will see ways to introduce improvements to where you live today, especially in areas related to plumbing, bathrooms, garbage and recycling. Meanwhile, in a family discussion, a secret might come out. Or you might suspect that a secret exists.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are super convincing today when talking to others, which makes this a strong day for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching, acting as well as writing. Personally, you might want to determine what motivates you? What changes do you need to make?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Polly Walker (1966) shares your birthday today. You have a calm, detached even regal style. This can make you convincing when talking to others. Personally, you are focused and determined. This year you have a stronger zest for life, which is why you will enjoy socializing and reaching out to others. Let your hair down and have fun!

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence Digest for Thursday

From GypsyWolf.weebly.com

Thursday is the fifth day of the week.   In the Norse languages this day is called Torsdag, honoring Thor, the god of strength, fertility, thunder, the protector and defender in war, and son of Odin.  Thor is the counterpart of Zeus (Greek), and Jupiter or Jove (Roman).  Thor, the most beloved of the great gods of northern mythology, is the only god who cannot cross from earth to heaven across the rainbow bridge, for he is so heavy and powerful that the gods fear it will break under his weight.  It was said that whenever his hammer Mjollnir, was thrown, it would produce a thunderbolt and when struck against stone, it would create lightning.

Thursday

Latin: Dies Jovis (“Jove’s Day”), after Jove or Jupiter, the almighty Roman God.
French: jeudi
Italian: giovedi
Spanish: el jueves
German: Donnerstag
Dutch: donderdag

Rules: Expansion, wealth, prosperity, political power, legal matters, spirituality, meditation.
Colors: Purple, Deep Blue
Planet: Jupiter
Metal: Tin, associated with the thunderbolt of Jupiter (Zeus in Greek myth)
Stones: Amethyst, Lepidolite, Sugilite
Herbs: Anise, Cinquefoil, Clove, Honeysuckle, Hyssop, Maple, Nutmeg, Oakmoss, Sage, Sarsaparilla, Sassafras, Star Anise

A Digital Lunar Eclipse

Image Credit & Copyright: Michael Cain

Explanation: Recorded on May 15/16 this sequence of exposures follows the Full Moon during a total lunar eclipse as it arcs above treetops in the clearing skies of central Florida. A frame taken every 5 minutes by a digital camera shows the progression of the eclipse over three hours. The bright lunar disk grows dark and red as it glides through planet Earth’s shadow. In fact, counting the central frames in the sequence measures the roughly 90 minute duration of the total phase of this eclipse. Around 270 BC, the Greek astronomer Aristarchus also measured the duration of total lunar eclipses, but probably without the benefit of digital watches and cameras. Still, using geometry he devised a simple and impressively accurate way to calculate the Moon’s distance in terms of the radius of planet Earth, from the eclipse duration.

A HUGE hug to each of you please pass it on to a person you think needs it most. Science has proven that a 20 second hug releases great, feel-good chemicals in a person’s brain. Remember to hug your fur babies and friends too.

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may you blessed be.

A Jewel on the Flower Moon

Explanation: Cloudy skies plagued some sky watchers on Sunday as May’s Full Flower Moon slipped through Earth’s shadow in a total lunar eclipse. In skies above Chile’s Atacama desert this telephoto snapshot still captured an awesome spectacle though. Seen through thin high cirrus clouds just before totality began, a last sliver of sunlit crescent glistens like a hazy jewel atop the mostly shadowed lunar disk. This full moon was near perigee, the closest point in its elliptical orbit. It passed near the center of Earth’s dark umbral shadow during the 90 minute long total eclipse phase. Faintly suffused with sunlight scattered by the atmosphere, the umbral shadow itself gave the eclipsed moon a reddened appearance and the very dramatic popular moniker of a Blood Moon.
