Daylight Saving Time Around the World 2022 – Starts March 13, 2022, at 2:00 AM Local Time
This article is from timeanddate.com. This is also a great website for converting time from one country to another one. This can be done by using this link world clock time converter This is the website I use to make sure I have the correct Greenwich Mean Time for the corresponding time on the daily Custom Planetary Position posts. Scroll down the list below to find the country you live in and the date the time may move ahead for one/1 hour. Not all countries move ahead and in some only part of the country does. Please bear with me as try to keep up with the times changes on the correct date for the Daily Custom Planetary Positions as I get a little confused when the time changes occur twice a year.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is often referred to as “daylight savings” or “summer time.” When DST is not observed, it is called standard time or winter time.
The list below shows an overview of countries and territories with DST in 2022. For more details, see information for the first half of 2022 and the second half of 2022.
Note: This list may not be final. Sometimes countries, states, and territories make changes announced just days or weeks ahead of the time change.

February 2, 2022 Groundhog Day USA – Did He See His Shadow or Not?
We have one groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, that says 6 more weeks of winter, while the other, Woodstock Willie, says an early spring. Taking my 4 fur kids out this morning in a snowstorm I for one go with Punxsutawney Phil who has been the predicating Groundhog since 1886. It is my understanding that all the Groundhogs used over the years are descendants of the first Punxsutawney Phil.
Taped live of Punxsutawney Phil from MSN.com

Punxsutawney Phil has given us his highly anticipated annual weather prediction for Groundhog Day—six more weeks of winter.
Every year, on February 2, people across the U.S. turn to a familiar meteorological marmot to determine whether the end of the winter season is in sight in a popular tradition known as Groundhog Day.
The customary ceremony is held each year at Gobbler’s Knob in Pennsylvania, where people gather to await Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction.
According to tradition, if Punxsutawney Phil spots his shadow and the weather is clear, another six weeks of winter lie ahead. However, if he does not see his shadow and the day is overcast, we’re set for an early spring.
In this instance, Phil did catch a glimpse of his shadow, indicating that six more weeks of winter loom.

When watching and reading this next part keep in mind, we are in the middle of our first major snowstorm this winter. So, we are under heavy cloud cover with no sign of the warming Sun in sight🤣
For those in the Midwestern United States here is
Woodstock Willie from Woodstock, Illinois taped live on abc7chicago.com
WOODSTOCK, Ill. (WLS) — Woodstock Willie did not see his shadow on Groundhog Day, predicting an early spring.
He was joined by the Groundhog Polka Band and hundreds of spectators at the northwest suburb’s historic town square.
The crowd cheered after it was announced Willie had not seen his shadow, signaling an early spring. If Willie had seen his shadow, it would mean six more weeks of winter.

Sunset Time for the Shortest Day of 2021 for the Northern Hemisphere

The shortest day of the year, in terms of daylight, is December 21, the winter solstice. But the days will actually begin to feel a bit longer two weeks before the solstice. That’s because the earliest sunset of the year happens before the solstice, and in 2021, it occurs on Tuesday, December 7.

The Importance of November 11 Around the Globe
Please take a minute out of your busy day or evening at 11:11 AM or PM local time to remember those that gave their lives for their countries and for the family and friends left behind. If you meet a military person anywhere today or if you know a family who’s love one is serving, please take a few minutes to chat with them to thank them for their or their loves one’s service to whatever country you live in. But UNLESS you were in the military do not salute the military personnel as that is a right that only those who serve have the right and privilege to do to each other. If possible, make a small donation to whatever type of organization you have in your country to help them help those who are still servings and families of past and present military personnel. Thank you! The following articles help to try to explain why this day is so important in so many countries surrounding the globe. Much of it of information explains how WWI ended on this day.

At 11 A.M. on November 11, 1918, the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. The allied armies had driven the Germans back, having inflicted heavy defeats upon them over the preceding four months. In November, the Germans called for an armistice, or suspension of…

Today in History – November 11
Veterans Day
The Allied powers signed a ceasefire agreement with Germany at Compiégne, France, at 11:00 a.m. on November 11, 1918, bringing the war now known as World War I to a close.
President Wilson proclaimed the first Armistice Day the following year on November 11, 1919, with these words:“To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…” Originally, the celebration included parades and public meetings following a two-minute suspension of business at 11:00 a.m.
Between the world wars, November 11 was commemorated as Armistice Day in the United States, Great Britain, and France. After World War II, the holiday was recognized as a day of tribute to veterans of both wars. Beginning in 1954, the United States designated November 11 as Veterans Day to honor veterans of all U.S. wars. British Commonwealth countries now call the holiday Remembrance Day.
In an interview with the Federal Writers’ Project, World War I veteran Andrew Johnson remembered how his regiment…

National Education Day – India
India marks National Education Day on November 11 to memorialize the birthday of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the first Minister for Education in India. Maulana Abul Kalam Azad’s exemplary contributions to the field of education and institution building paved the way for the country’s modern system. Reputed as the main architect of education, he served as India’s first Vice President as well as the first education Minister from 1947 to 1958. Now, all educational institutions in the country mark the day with seminars, essay-writing, workshops and rallies with slogans on the importance of literacy and India’s commitment to education.
HISTORY OF NATIONAL EDUCATION DAY
In September of 2008, India’s Ministry of Human Resource Development declared the birthday of ‘the great son of India’ — Maulana Abul Kalam Azad — to be nationally recognized as Education Day. The day is also seen as an occasion to remember Abul Kalam’s contribution in laying the foundations of the education system …

International Observe The Moon Night – Global Moon Party
From NASA.gov (USA) National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Plan Your Event and Celebrate with Us
View our recorded Event Planning Webinar, and join the virtual Global Moon Party on October 9, for resources and activities that can take your International Observe the Moon Night to the next level.
Viewing Guide
It’s the object in the night sky that humanity knows best ― and the one that’s easiest to study. Whether your tools are a telescope, a pair of binoculars, or just your eyes, you can find plenty of features on the Moon.
We only ever see one side of the Moon from Earth. That’s because the interplay of gravity between Earth and Moon slows the Moon into a rotation that paces its own. The Moon rotates, but it rotates at the same speed that it orbits around Earth. This keeps the same side always turned toward us. We call this being “tidally locked.
The Moon has no glow of its own, but shines with the reflected light of the Sun. During its crescent phase in the twilight or dawn, you can also sometimes see the dark portion of the Moon glowing faintly in the sunlight that reflects off Earth, an effect called earthshine.
You can look at the Moon during any of its illuminated phases, but for better viewing of craters and mountains, try phases other than the full Moon. The shadows on the surface will be more pronounced, and help distinguish features you might otherwise miss.
Eyeballing the Moon
Looking at the Moon with only your eyes, you see mostly areas of white and gray. These gray patches are solidified volcanic lava flows. In the Moon’s youth, its interior was still molten, and magma would erupt onto its surface. These dark areas formed when massive asteroid or meteorite impacts on the Moon’s surface created basins. Because the impact basins were often the lowest places on the Moon’s surface, they would begin to fill with erupting lava. The lava was similar to the basalt that erupts on Earth and, like on Earth, cooled to form a relatively dark-colored rock. We call these areas the lunar seas, or maria.
The lighter-colored areas are called the highlands, and show the earliest crust on the Moon, dominated by a type of rock called anorthosite, which is primarily made up of the white mineral anorthite or plagioclase.
What you see on the Moon with your eyes only will vary depending on your eyesight. Give yourself plenty of time for your eyes to adjust and look carefully. You may be able to see some of the larger impact craters on the Moon’s surface if your vision is sharp enough, including Copernicus, Kepler, and Aristarchus and Tycho. You may even be able to see some of the bright streaks that are ray systems emanating from the Copernicus or Tycho craters, created when material was thrown outward by the force of the original impacts.
Lunar Sightseeing
Pick up a pair of binoculars, and the Moon transforms.
With binoculars, you’ll still see the entire Moon at once, but now it’ll have terrain. Smooth-looking patterns of gray and white resolve into craters and large mountain ridges. You’ll be able to tell where the Moon is relatively undisturbed and where it’s been pockmarked by impacts. Binoculars introduce texture, especially when you look at the Moon when it’s in any other phase other than full. Focus particularly along the terminator line between light and dark, where features will cast long shadows that make them clearer. Choose binoculars with a magnification of 7 at a minimum. Though a magnification of 10 or 15 will provide more detail, you may need a tripod to steady them.
Under the gaze of a telescope, the Moon becomes too big to take in at once. Now you’ll see real mountains, and not just craters but the crater chains created when impact debris splashes around the main craters. You’ll see valleys, and the cracks in the Moon’s surface called rilles, formed when the lava that once filled a basin cooled and contracted. If this is your first time looking at the Moon through a telescope, you may feel the same wonder Galileo felt seeing that familiar orb in the sky transform into another world. Be sure to examine the Moon at many different phases and on different days. Parts of the Moon near the edge of the disk come into view at some times but not others, a wobbling phenomenon known as libration. Experienced observers can take advantage of favorable librations to see about 59 percent of the lunar surface.
Astronomical League Observing Challenge
Take on a Moon Observing Challenge from the Astronomical League. This activity challenges you to complete each of the following tasks:
- Do an outreach activity. This could be an International Observe the Moon Night event or any activity that encourages observing the Moon in general.
- Observe the Moon with just your eyes. No equipment is required.
- Estimate the Moon’s percent illumination. Not illuminated at all would be 0%, half-illuminated would be 50%, and completely illuminated would be 100%.
- Make a sketch or capture an image of the Moon that includes at least ten of the features below. Indicate your chosen features on your sketch or image:
- Mare Crisium
- Mare Fecunditatis
- Mare Frigoris
- Mare Imbrium
- Mare Nectaris
- Mare Nubium
- Mare Serenitatis
- Mare Tranquillitatis
- Crater Copernicus
- Crater Tycho
- Crater Rays from Crater Copernicus
- The Woman in the Moon
For more information about this challenge, and to learn how to submit your sketch or image, visit the Astronomical League website.
Note: You may make your observation any time between October 15, 2021 and October 22, 2021. The deadline for submission is November 22, 2021. You do not need to be a member of the Astronomical League to participate in this challenge.

On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Almost 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defined the presidency of George W. Bush.
Commemorating the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, The HISTORY® Channel will premiere three documentary specials, starting on September 10. Watch a preview for all three specials now.

Solar flares and the Consciousness Connection
Are you experiencing sleep disturbances, feeling irritable for no reason, anxious, jittery, having visual distortions or feel immensely drained? If so you may be experiencing the effect of Solar Flares.
What are Solar Flares and Why are They So Important Towards Awakening?
The Earth is composed of a Magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field that encompasses the planet. The magnetic field extends from the Earth’s interior region to where it meets solar wind or a stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun. “The magnetosphere is the region above the ionosphere and extends several tens of thousands of kilometers into space, protecting the Earth from the charged particles of the solar wind and cosmic rays that would otherwise strip away the upper atmosphere, including the ozone layer that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation.”

MOTHER EARTH/GAIA/ALL EARTH GODDESS’ EARTH DAY April 22, 2021

The theme of this year’s Earth Day is “Restore or Earth” As Pagans and/or Witches it is our duty to help clean up, plant new life, etc. for the Earth Goddess (Whatever name you may caller by). We are conservationists working at ground level to restore and keep the Earth Goddess clean. This way she can continue providing us with all living things that we make our shelter from the weather from, the clothes we wear, and the food we eat.
Remember to pick up after your dog as their scat has E.coli in it which if enough of it seeps into the ground our water and food sources could be come contaminated. Making our water undrinkable and our food inedible.

We thank you (insert the Earth Goddess’ name you use) for nourishing all living things that help to protect and nourish our physical bodies.
May we always strive to make you a beautiful and healthy in our every day lives.
These are our words to offer our help. This is our will to make our word rings true.
So Mote It Be ( Use whatever words you end your spellcasting and/or prayers with.)
