A Cosmic Rose: The Rosette Nebula in Monoceros 
Image Credit & Copyright: Jean Dean

 

Explanation: The Rosette Nebula, NGC 2237, is not the only cosmic cloud of gas and dust to evoke the imagery of flowers, but it is the most famous. At the edge of a large molecular cloud in Monoceros some 5,000 light years away, the petals of this cosmic rose are actually a stellar nursery. The lovely, symmetric shape is sculpted by the winds and radiation from its central cluster of hot young, O-type stars. Stars in the energetic cluster, cataloged as NGC 2244, are only a few million years young, while the central cavity in the Rosette Nebula, is about 50 light-years in diameter. The nebula can be seen with a small telescope toward the constellation of Monoceros, the Unicorn. This natural appearing telescopic portrait of the Rosette Nebula was made using broadband and narrowband filters, because sometimes roses aren’t red.

Daily Planet Tracker for April 12: Mercury in Pisces

Mercury in Pisces: Creative, Intuitive, Magical

Feb 10, 2019 – Apr 16, 2019

Astrology, Mercury, Pisces

When Mercury enters the fantastical sign of Pisces, our dreams become more vivid, our thoughts are looser, and our instincts are especially strong. Mercury is the mental planet that rules our thoughts and communication style. While this focus on data and details doesn’t naturally align with Pisces widespread, all-inclusive style, there are so many ways to enrich our lives during this transit!

When Mercury enters the fantastical sign of Pisces, our dreams become more vivid, our thoughts are looser, and our instincts are especially strong. Mercury is the mental planet that rules our thoughts and communication style. While this focus on data and details doesn’t naturally align with Pisces widespread, all-inclusive style, there are so many ways to enrich our lives during this transit!

Pisces thrives in a world of magic, fantasy, and idealism. While Mercury is here, our minds are more open and we can find solutions in places we’ve never even considered before. Mercury in Pisces shines a light on the furthest reaches of our minds to illuminate fresh ideas, creative inspirations, and different ways of thinking.

When Mercury is in Pisces

Our minds are never open as wide as they are during Mercury in Pisces! Pisces thrives in the most vast spaces you can imagine. Think about the unbelievable depths of the ocean or the infinite reaches of space — these are Pisces’ realms. So while Mercury moves through this sign, our minds are expanded to this same level of vastness. We can see things we couldn’t see before, and understand things we couldn’t understand before.

It’s no surprise that some thoughts we have during this transit are beyond words. Our ability to communicate becomes fuzzy here, and some of the things that are happening in our minds are just too big to find words for. This is where our intuition comes in. Pisces is the most intuitive sign of the zodiac, and reminds us to pay close attention to the “feelings” we have in our minds. We know things in ways we can’t explain, because our subconscious is being triggered more than usual while Mercury is in Pisces.

Of course, there are also some cons to Mercury in Pisces. Miscommunication is possible, and we may have trouble staying on track. We might forget critical details, show up late for meetings, or say things that don’t quite make sense. This is because we’re speaking from the heart and gut, not our brains. Finding the words to match our feelings can make for some seriously stop-and-start conversations.

But overall, Mercury’s time in Pisces can bring amazing new opportunities our way. There are no limits during this transit. We’re open to all possibilities, so we can easily embrace the things that are suddenly inspiring us. The level of promise and potential is high here, because we’re not focusing on the things we can’t do, but the things we can do.

Mercury Retrograde in Pisces

When the planet Mercury goes retrograde, it appears, from our view here on Earth, to be moving backward through the sky. Therefore, the things Mercury rules — communication, travel, details — all start to get a little messy during Mercury Retrograde. When Mercury retrogrades in the sign of Pisces, though, there’s a definite Piscean spin on its effects. We find our energy depleted, and show up late to work or appointments more often than usual. Because communication is already unclear with Mercury moving direct in Pisces, we can expect even more misunderstanding during a retrograde here.

But it’s certainly not all bad! Mercury hibernating in Pisces leaves more time for daydreaming and fantasizing, helping to rejuvenate a stale imagination. And even though it’s not the best time to make a key argument or presentation, because everyone has the attention span of a gnat, using this time to polish your approach will have you ready to state your case effectively once Mercury turns direct.

Your Karmic Number for April 12 is Eight

Your Karmic Number of the Day

Wealth, or even a few extra dollars, can be manifested soon after getting an 8. Thinking about money 24/7 means that you are not open to the signs that are helping you know where to look. You have a poverty consciousness because it was instilled in you at an early age. You are still holding on to those messages that you are poor in at least one way. If you need money to pay bills then ask the Universe for a project that will do exactly that. Also, work through your foot and root chakra issues. Those old messages about money are closing you off to whatever wealth is truly yours.

Tarot 101: How To Use & Read Tarot Cards

How To Use & Read Tarot Cards

 

You’ve just picked up a Tarot deck, perhaps your first. You’ve spent some time flipping and familiarizing, and are ready to put them to use. This is an exciting undertaking — insight into your past, present, and even factors influencing your future can all be found in the cards.

You may be a bit confused or overwhelmed. There are lots of cards to master (we’ll get to that in a moment), and if you’ve read the booklet that came in the company of your deck, you’re likely feeling only slightly closer to becoming the intuitive that you know you are.

But, with Tarot, it’s best to trade fear for trust. By the time you’re done here, you’ll feel much more comfortable shuffling, placing, and reading your cards.

WHAT IS TAROT, ANYWAY?

First, a bit of history — Tarot got its start as a card game in the 15th century. So while it may seem like reading cards is an ancient practice, the use of Tarot for divination really came into its own in the 18th century. Because the Tarot deals in archetypes (or universal symbols), the meanings of each card and the stories those meanings tell span culture, continent, and time.

You may have seen the Tarot presented as a means of telling the future — even changing it — but the cards are actually most useful for reflection and empowered decision-making. From this vantage, Tarot can only aid on your journey to fulfillment.

WHY ARE SOME CARDS IN SUITS, WHILE OTHERS AREN’T?

If you’ve taken a good look at your cards, you will have noted that some have distinct names and are numbered zero to 21 (or one to 22, depending on the deck), while others that appear numbered in the same way that you might see in a traditional card deck, complete with aces, kings, and queens. The cards without suits make up the major arcana. Those that are labeled as belonging to swords, wands, cups, and pentacles comprise the minor arcana. A standard deck has 78 cards: 22 in the major arcana and 56 in the minor.

WHAT’S IN THE MAJOR ARCANA?

The major arcana is made up of cards that directly represent archetypes, and suggest major themes and lessons that the querent (the subject of the reading) should pay attention to.

There are many cards in your deck that symbolize impending change. If cards from the major arcana — think Death, or The Tower — show up, that means that the changes are going to be big, important, and an opportunity for a life-altering lesson.

Of course, not all of the cards that comprise the major arcana are created equal. Depending on your deck — and they are available in increasing, and increasingly creative, numbers — some card names may be altered. Be sure to read up on your deck to catch all of its idiosyncrasies.

WHAT’S IN THE MINOR ARCANA?

The minor arcana represents the joys, triumphs, hopes, fears, annoyances, and challenges we experience every day. The word “minor” doesn’t imply that these issues aren’t important; it just means that they’re more temporary and less far-reaching than those you’ll see in the major arcana cards. They’re also easier to act upon.

The minor arcana is separated into four suits — wands, swords, cups, and pentacles, traditionally — and each suit relates to a facet of human experience. Wands represent action and motivation; swords represent thought processes and decision-making; cups represent feelings and emotions; and pentacles represent the material world, as in work and finances.

Some decks may mix this up, but the meanings generally remain the same.

READY FOR A READING?

This crash course has been leading toward a simple goal, a readiness to give yourself — or soon, perhaps others — a reading. If you’ve heard that it’s bad form to read for yourself, know this is a myth. In fact, using the cards to gain insight and is one of the quickest ways to start getting honest with yourself — all it takes is a simple shuffle.

There are a variety of Tarot spreads to try. And while it may be tempting to lay out a ten-card Celtic Cross, it’s best to begin with something a bit more basic, though equally powerful. A three-card spread is both illuminating and versatile.

A THREE-CARD SPREAD HOW-TO:

Begin by shuffling the deck while contemplating your question. You may want to cut your shuffled deck into three piles and then reassemble it before pulling your cards, or you may not — do what feels right. Likewise, you may want to spread the cards out face down and move them around before picking, rather than splitting the deck. How you shuffle is entirely up to you — the most important aspect is your unwavering concentration on the question you want answered.

Pull three cards off the top of the deck, and position them to be read from left to right. This spread may seem simple, but it’s also very versatile. You can use the cards to denote past, present, and future, or, situation, action, and outcome. If you’re doing a relationship reading, you can even designate the first card as yourself, the second as your partner (or potential partner), and the third as the relationship between you both. Just don’t change the parameters of the inquiry mid-reading!

Don’t worry if you don’t know the meanings of all the cards yet — there are 78 of them, after all. A big part of reading the Tarot is building up your own intuition. Master the keywords associated with each card — use your booklet or the web for reference — and remember that the illustrations are there for a reason, and likely a factor that drew you to your deck! Look at the cards closely, notice how they relate to one another — look for connections; They should tell a story. Most importantly, don’t worry about perfection. Time, practice, and an open mind will serve you well on this journey.

Now, press pause your research, shuffle your deck, and pull a three-card spread. You’re well on your way to reading the Tarot like a true seer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Keep your wits about you today because you might end up at odds with an authority figure. Furthermore, social plans (including sports) might be changed, cancelled or suffer from accidents. Speaking of which, parents should be vigilant about their kids today to avoid mishaps.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Avoid disputes at home today. Unexpected interruptions might be a drag. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. Definitely steer clear of discussions about politics, religion and race because this could create a deadlock. (“I’m outta here!”)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is an accident-prone day for you. Be alert. (The world needs more lerts.) On the upside, you might have some genius-like ideas because you can think outside of the box. You win some, you lose some.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Keep an eye on your possessions because this is the kind of day where you might find money or lose it. Likewise, you might impulsively buy something you really like, or you might suffer damage, theft and loss to something that you own. Yup, it’s a crapshoot. Do not challenge authority figures today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which heightens your emotions but also gives you a bit of extra good luck. Meanwhile, you will be wise to avoid discussions about politics, religion and race because they will become power struggles. Definitely!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Stay on your toes because a few surprises might come your way today. Power struggles about shared property, taxes or debt are possible. Disagreements with kids and romantic partners might also arise. Remember that patience is the antidote to anger.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Avoid power struggles with partners and close friends today because they might arise. Keep in mind that it’s probably a battle of egos. When the annals of history are written, is this really important? No it isn’t. Rise above this pettiness and keep the peace.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A boss, parent or someone in a position of authority (this includes the police) might surprise you today. Be aware of this possibility. For starters, be cool. Guard against knee-jerk reactions. Think before you speak and remember the power of courtesy. “Step away from the fridge.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Ego battles with a family member, probably an authority in the family, might take place today. However, this is an opportunity for you. You have a choice. You can demonstrate grace under pressure and be a class act. (Then you can be smug.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Arguments with siblings, relatives and neighbours might arise today but really they are just ego battles about power and control or who is right. Does this really matter? Why even go there? This might be triggered by an upset with a partner or close friend.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Avoid money quarrels today or disputes about property and possessions. Meanwhile, keep your eyes open because this is an accident-prone day for you, especially if you are at work. Keep your wits about you and think before you speak. (“Don’t say “yes” until I finish talking.”)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Artists, musicians and athletes can hone their craft and skills today because they have the patience as well as the motivation to practice. “How do you get to Carnegie Hall?” “Practice.” This is a theme for your day. It will be a productive day teaching children as well.

This is a sensible day to explore real-estate deals. If shopping for a family member or your home, you will buy something attractive but practical.
