The Goddess Book of Days

The Wicca Book of Days for Monday, April 10thThe planet Mars has been regulating affairs on Earth ever since the zodiacal month of Aries began on around March 21, and its influence has, by now, become particularly powerful. Its hue, the color of bloood, caused the Romans to name the “Red Planet” after Mars, teir god of war, and its sigil represent a warrior’s round shield from which protrudes a spearhead. That this symbol also signifies maleness in biology, an iron in alchemy, attests to just some of the traditionally masculne qualities that Mars embodies, according to astrological single-mindedness, and hardness.
Even the gentlest personality needs to be assertive once in a while, and if you are steeling yourself for a confrontation, why not arm yourself with some of Mars’s spirit and determination by wearing an iron pendant or bangle?
Today is Monday, April 10th
Monday is the sacred day of the moon, personified as the goddesses Selene, Luna, and Mani. The moon is ruler of flow, affecting the changeable and impressionable aspects of people. If a full moon falls on a Monday, then the powers of the moon are at their most potent.

The Sky This Week for April 10 to 16Jupiter at peak visibility, Sirius at magnitude -1.5, and other cool things to look for in the sky this week.
By Nicole Kiefert
Monday, April 10
Full Moon arrives at 2:08 a.m. EDT tomorrow morning (11:08 p.m. PDT this evening), but our satellite looks completely illuminated all night. It rises in the east shortly before the Sun sets and reaches its peak in the south around 1 a.m. local daylight time. The Full Moon lies in central Virgo, some 3° from brilliant Jupiter and 7° from that constellation’s brightest star, 1st-magnitude Spica.
Tuesday, April 11
After passing between the Sun and Earth only two weeks ago, Venus already appears conspicuous in the predawn sky. It rises more than an hour before the Sun and climbs nearly 10° above the eastern horizon some 30 minutes before sunrise. The planet shines so brightly, at magnitude –4.6, that it shows up easily in the brightening twilight. A telescope will deliver spectacular views of the inner world’s 52″-diameter disk, which appears just 10 percent lit.
Wednesday, April 12
Mars continues to put on a nice show these April evenings. It appears nearly 20° high in the west an hour after sunset and doesn’t dip below the horizon until after 10 p.m. local daylight time. The magnitude 1.5 Red Planet crosses from Aries the Ram into Taurus the Bull today. Unfortunately, Mars’ 4″-diameter disk shows no detail when viewed through a telescope.
Thursday, April 13
For those who like to observe during the quiet predawn hours, Saturn offers a visual treat. The ringed planet rises shortly before 1 a.m. local daylight time and climbs about 30° high in the south by the time morning twilight begins. It shines at magnitude 0.3 against the backdrop of northwestern Sagittarius, where it appears nearly stationary relative to the background stars. Take a look at Saturn through binoculars and you’ll also see the open star clusters M21 and M23 as well as the spectacular Lagoon (M8) and Trifid (M20 ) nebulae less than 4° to its east. When viewed through a telescope, the planet shows a 17″-diameter disk surrounded by a stunning ring system that spans 39″ and tilts 26° to our line of sight.
Friday, April 14
Orion the Hunter stands out in the western sky as darkness falls this week. The conspicuous constellation appears slightly askew compared with its appearance in winter’s evening sky. Now, the three-star belt is aligned parallel to the horizon while blue-white Rigel hangs directly below the belt and ruddy Betelgeuse stands directly above.
Uranus is in conjunction with the Sun at 2 a.m. EDT. From our earthly perspective, this means the distant planet lies behind the Sun and so is out of sight. Uranus will return to view in the morning sky in late May.
Saturday, April 15
The Moon reaches apogee, the farthest point in its orbit around Earth, at 6:05 a.m. EDT. It then lies 251,950 miles (405,475 kilometers) from Earth’s center.
Sunday, April 16
The annual Lyrid meteor shower begins today. Although the shower won’t peak until the morning of April 22, you may see a few meteors in the predawn hours before then. To tell a Lyrid from a sporadic meteor, trace the streak of light back to its origin. Lyrids appear to come from the constellation Lyra the Harp, while sporadics appear at random and can come from any direction.
The waning gibbous Moon appears just above Saturn before dawn. The two approach each other as the morning progresses, and the Moon will pass 3° north of the planet at 2 p.m. EDT.

The divine is everywhere
Flowing through the universe
Light and water and air
Loving and healing
Every place is divine
And every home touched by deity.
The divine is everyone
Walking a thousand paths
Stranger, friend and family
Different yet the same
And every person touched by deity.
The divine is inside us
In every breath we take
Action, thought and essence
Accepted and accepting
We are divine
We touch and are touched by deity.
