Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 9 AM to 12:30 PM EDT today (6 AM to 9:30 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Pisces into Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you will put your interests and needs second to the needs of someone else because you feel genuinely concerned for their welfare. You’re not being a martyr. This is probably the appropriate thing to do. (True generosity is giving what is needed.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might idealize a friend today. Certainly, you will feel protective and close to someone. You might also embrace a group, especially a charitable group with a mandate to help those in need. This is because your idealism is aroused today.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Because it’s easy to admire someone in a position of authority, you might develop a crush on a boss or someone “important”. You might also use your influence with someone in power (or your own influence) to help a third party. This is a perfect day for artistic, creative decisions. (Check Moon Alert.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Travel for pleasure will appeal to you today because you have a strong need to escape somewhere for some peace and quiet. Not only peace and quiet, you need a chance to restore and replenish yourself! White sands and turquoise waters would be ideal.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Keep your pockets open today because gifts, goodies and favours from others will come to you. Meanwhile, you might use your own resources or the resources of someone else to benefit a third party, especially someone in need. Personally, romantic affection will be dreamy and memorable!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Relations with close friends and partners will be warm and mutually sympathetic today. In fact, a friend could become a lover. Whatever the case, your approach to your closest relationships will be mature, warm and giving. You might see ways to turn your hopes into reality.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

If you can do something to make your workspace more attractive today, you will enjoy doing this. Remember that more than any other sign, you are affected by your surroundings – colour, composition, space, smell and lighting. Meanwhile, relations with coworkers are warm and reassuring today.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today romance is the stuff of movies. New love might come into your life. Existing romantic relationships will glow. Your love for someone will take on a spiritual aspect because you will want what is best for them. Relations with children will be tenderhearted. The arts will inspire!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a lovely day to entertain at home, especially with family. It’s also great day to explore redecorating ideas or shop for beautiful things for your home. (If shopping – check Moon Alert above.) Family discussions will be warm and mutually sympathetic.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might spend a lot of time daydreaming or being lost in thoughts of fantasy today. You have a refined appreciation of the beauty in your daily world and a desire to make your surroundings as lovely as possible. It’s easy to appreciate who you are and what you have.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

If shopping today, you will be tempted to buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. Definitely, take note of the restrictions of the Moon Alert – see above. Nevertheless, this is also a good day for business and commerce because you will be inclined to attract favourable situations to you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today Venus is lined up with your ruler Neptune – both in your sign. This will help you to visualize your ideas and translate your hopes and dreams into a physical reality. The abstract to the concrete. Your relations with others will be warm and mutually sympathetic.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Sally Hawkins (1976) shares your birthday today. You are poised, calm and collected. Sometimes you are mystery to others. People enjoy your charming, friendly personality. They respect you. This is an exciting year for you because it’s a beginning of a new nine-year cycle. Get ready to explore. Be courageous. Open any door!

April 27, 2022 Current Moon Phase

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

2022 April 27

Moon Shadow on Jupiter

Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS; Processing & License: Thomas Thomopoulos

Explanation: What is that large dark spot on Jupiter? It’s the shadow of Ganymede, Jupiter‘s largest moon. When Jupiter’s moons cross between the Jovian giant and the Sun, they created shadows just like when the Earth’s moon crosses between the Earth and the Sun. Also like on Earth, if you were in a dark shadow on Jupiter, you would see a moon completely eclipse the Sun. Unlike on Earth, moon shadows occur most days on Jupiter — what’s more unusual is that a spacecraft was close enough to record one with a high-resolution image. That spacecraft, Juno, was passing so close to Jupiter in late February that nearby clouds and the dark eclipse shadow appear relatively large. Juno has made many discoveries about our Solar System‘s largest planet, including, recently, rapidly expanding circular auroras.

7 of Cups

I. The meaning of the Seven of Cups Shadowscapes Tarot

The young girl’s mind now lost its way in the clouds. Her eyes were now filled with stars, her spirit drawn to the fanciful light of the moon as she looked toward the whole castle in the sky. She was not much aware of the dangerous standing position at the moment, maybe in a moment of excitement, she could carelessly step forward and fall from the cliff to the bottom of the dim white mist below. The wind blew and flipped her hair and clothes in an exciting melody.

In the meantime, the boy, standing in a somewhat safer position, with a little thought, turned his eyes towards the castle located on the surrounding cliffs. Perhaps it will be difficult to reach the place, but they can completely succeed, his desire is strong enough to achieve what he wants.

But that girl was the exact opposite. “Look!” She shouted while her fingers cupped the boy’s shoulders, urging him to listen to his desires. He nodded his head, trying to refute the thought of “how can we get to that heavenly city?” and continued to …

This thorny tree-shrub is symbolic of the sword, arrow, and spear. Now is a time to focus on the root of a problem instead of its effects. Confront challenges head-on, and do your best not to become overwhelmed by the difficulties that lie before you. Brace for the unexpected; life may be taking an unforeseen turn. It can be an excellent time to keep knowledge and information to yourself until the path ahead is more apparent.

If reversed – Transitions, changes, and death. Straif reversed is a sign of caution. Things may be falling apart in your life right now so that they can come together more positively later.

Inscription and Magical Uses – Use this ogham wisely. It can help to develop the courage and fortitude you need to overcome the unpredictable challenges headed your way. Change is headed your way, helpful for use in keeping your mindset upbeat and instilling hope.

Folklore – Blackthorn has developed a bad reputation over the years since it thrives in winter when everything else seems to be dying. It is often associated with cailleach (Dark mother or Crone) and the Morrighan. Blackthorn was often used to create a shillelagh (Irish walking stick) which was often the weapon of choice for bataireacht (BAHT-air-ahct) (Irish stick-fighting martial arts).

Planet Parade over Sydney Opera House

Image Credit & Copyright: Prasun Agrawal

Explanation: The world is waking up to a picturesque planet parade. Just before dawn, the eastern skies over much of planet Earth are decorated by a notable line of familiar planets. In much of Earth’s northern hemisphere, this line of planets appears most nearly horizontal, but in much of Earth’s southern hemisphere, the line appears more nearly vertical. Pictured over the Sydney Opera House in southern Australia, the planet line was captured nearly vertical about five days ago. From top to bottom, the morning planets are Saturn, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter. As April ends, the angular distance between Venus and Jupiter will gradually pass below a degree as they switch places. Then, as May ends, Jupiter will pass near Mars as those two planets switch places. In June, the parade will briefly expand to include Mercury.

The Sun Set on Mars

April 12, 2015

In this file photo from NASA, the sun sets behind the rocky terrain of Earth’s neighboring planet, Mars. The photo was taken by NASA’s Curiosity rover on April 15, 2015. The images were recorded by the Mast Camera attached to the rover. The haze in the air is martian dust still suspended in the atmosphere between dust storms. The blue hue of the image is due to the very fine dust particles being just the right size to allow blue light to penetrate the atmosphere.

A Thought for Today

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

April 25, 2022 Current Moon Phase

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