A Thought for Today

16 March 2022 Daily Correspondence Digest Southern Hemisphere’s 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 Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on March 16 has an illumination of 96%. 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 March 16 the Moon is 12.94 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. Between these major phases, there are 4 minor ones: the Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous and Waning Crescent. For more info on the Moon Cycle and on each phase check out Wikipedia Lunar Phase page.

March 15, 2022 Your Daily Horoscopes Digest

Click here for Georgia Nicols’ Daily Horoscopes 

Moon Alert

Caution! Avoid shopping or making important decisions after 6:45 AM EDT today and for the rest of the day. (3:45 AM to 10 PM PDT). The Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

There is a Moon Alert today, which means refrain from spending money, except on food and gas. However, this particular Moon Alert is in a creative part of your chart, which means your artistic energy will soar! Use this however you can. You are the artisan of the zodiac.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You can best use today’s energy to hunker down at home and relate to family in a genuine, more open way. That’s because all today is a Moon Alert, which will encourage you to let your hair down and tell it like it is. Postpone important decisions until tomorrow.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a loosey-goosey day! There is a Moon Alert all day, which might make you feel indecisive and unsure of what to do next. It’s a good day to explore new ideas as well as brainstorm thoughts with others. Wait until tomorrow to settle on anything.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Do be aware of the restrictions of today’s Moon Alert because it is taking place in your Money House. Restrict spending to food and gas. Postpone important decisions and financial matters until tomorrow.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today, virtually all day, there is a Moon Alert in Leo! This means your mind is freewheeling and soaring like a helium balloon cut free in the sky. You will more easily grasp creative ideas because you can think outside of the box. But wait until tomorrow to agree to anything important.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because there is a Moon Alert today occurring in a hidden part of your chart, this is an excellent day for meditation, yoga or any quiet activity that helps to calm your mind and make you feel more grounded. Restrict spending to food and gas.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Relations with friends as well as members of groups will be friendly and possibly, more frank than usual because of today’s Moon Alert. Nevertheless, don’t volunteer for anything or agree to anything important.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are high viz. today, which means other people notice you more than usual, especially bosses, VIPs and the police. Because of the Moon Alert, you might make a mistake or be confused. Don’t volunteer for anything. Wait until tomorrow to make any kind of commitment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today there is a Moon Alert in effect all day, which will allow you to explore ideas you don’t normally consider. It will make it easier for you to listen to people whose views are different from yours. Nevertheless, wait until tomorrow to agree to anything important.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The Moon Alert today, which is in effect all day, takes place in your House of Other People’s Money. This means this is a poor day to make decisions about shared property, taxes, debt or insurance issues. Do your research but wait until tomorrow to sign the dotted line.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Relations with partners and close friends will be fuzzy today because there is a Moon Alert happening all day long opposite your sign. This will promote honest and open conversations, but they might be confusing. Don’t hold anyone to anything today. All bets are off until tomorrow.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Issues at work might be clouded and confused because of today’s Moon Alert. Expect shortages and delays. Carry on with business as usual as best you can but wait until tomorrow to make important decisions. (With four planets in your sign, you will all the cards.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Eva Longoria (1975) shares your birthday today. You are hard-working and responsible. You are also very persuasive when you want to be. You are a caring person and always helpful to others. This year there is a strong focus on personal responsibility and service to others, which is why you must take excellent care of yourself. In fact, some of you might even consider a makeover.

March 15 Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

2022 March 15

A Road to the Stars

Image Credit: ESO, Petr Horálek (ESO Photo Ambassador, Inst. of Physics in Opava)

A stunning night view, taken close to the 1.54m Danish Telescope and the 3.6m telescope on the road at La Silla, shows the Milky Way above the horizon, accompanied by the Magellanic Clouds. ESO’s 3.6m Telescope, seen here atop a hill at the centre of the image, is home to HARPS, an instrument dedicated to the discovery of planets outside the Solar System via the radial velocity method. This method enables the detection of a planet by measuring the wobbling motion of the central star caused by the gravitational pull of the planet itself.  The towers on the left are the support structures of the BlackGEM telescopes, which had not been installed yet when this image was taken. BlackGEM is an array of telescopes that will search for the light emitted by the optical counterparts of the most powerful gravitational-wave sources, namely colliding neutron stars and black holes.  On the right of the image, we see the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two irregular dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way at a distance of approximately 160 000 and 200 000 light-years, respectively. In the Mapuche culture of south-central Chile, these neighbouring galaxies were known as lafken, labken or künchalabken (“the lagoons”) as well as rünanko (“the water wells”). [1] The red filamentary emission stretching across the sky in the horizon is called airglow, which is light naturally emitted by atoms and molecules in the atmosphere through various physical and chemical processes. Despite showing up prominently in this image, airglow is invisible to the unaided eye.   [1] Source: Wenumapu. Astronomía y Cosmología Mapuche, Gabriel Pozo Menares & Margarita Canio Llanquinao
Explanation: Pictured — a very scenic road to the stars. The road approaches La Silla Observatory in Chile, with the ESO‘s 3.6-meter telescope just up ahead. To the left are some futuristic-looking support structures for the planned BlackGEM telescopes, an array of optical telescopes that will help locate optical counterparts to gravitational waves detections by LIGO and other detectors. But there is much more. Red airglow illuminates the night sky on the right, while the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy slants across the image center. Jupiter can be seen just above the band near the image center, while Saturn is visible just above the 3.6-meter telescope dome. The two largest satellite galaxies of our Milky Way Galaxy, the LMC and SMC, are seen on the far right. The featured image panorama was built up from multiple 15-second exposures that were captured on 2019 June 30. Two days later, La Silla experienced a rare total eclipse of the Sun.

Star Formation in the Eagle Nebula

Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble; Processing & Copyright: Ignacio Diaz Bobillo & Diego Gravinese

Explanation: Where do stars form? One place, star forming regions known as “EGGs”, are being uncovered at the end of this giant pillar of gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula (M16). Short for evaporating gaseous globules, EGGs are dense regions of mostly molecular hydrogen gas that fragment and gravitationally collapse to form stars. Light from the hottest and brightest of these new stars heats the end of the pillar and causes further evaporation of gas and dust — revealing yet more EGGs and more young stars. This featured picture was created from exposures spanning over 30 hours with the Earth-orbiting Hubble Space Telescope in 2014, and digitally processed with modern software by experienced volunteers in Argentina. Newborn stars will gradually destroy their birth pillars over the next 100,000 years or so — if a supernova doesn’t destroy them first.

Moonstone Travel Spell

Moonstone Travel Spell

This spell will call on Meness, the patron moon god of travelers.

Find a spot that faces east or that is illuminated by moonlight. Or try setting this up under the moon, in the garden, or on the porch or your outside deck. Get some atmosphere sphere going! Try using a scented candle, such as jasmine or gardenia, to coordinate the fragrance with the moon’s energies.

Gather the following items:
• A photo of your destination, your travel itinerary, or your airline tickets
• 4 small tumbled moonstones
• A scented white votive candle and holder
• A lighter or matches

Set up this spell on a safe, flat surface. Light the candle and place it in the holder. Place your paperwork/tickets or itinerary to one side of the candle. Arrange the four stones in a circle around the holder. Place your hands on the travel paperwork, and ground and center. Then repeat the following spell three times:

Meness, patron of travelers, watch over me
Whether I travel in the air, on the land or sea
Like a talisman in my pocket a stone will I tuck
Moonstones do encourage a safe journey and bring good luck.

Take one of the stones and keep it in your pocket while you travel. You may close the spell by saying:

For the good of all, with harm to none By the moon and stars, this spell is done.

Gather up your papers and tuck them away for your trip. Allow the candle to burn out on its own. If you performed this outside, then move your candle and the remaining stones indoors to let the candle safely finish burning. Never leave your candles unattended.

Developing your Spiritual Abilities? What are the “Clairs”?

When a person begins to awaken to their true self and divine potential, spiritual or psychic gifts will begin to emerge and develop.

Here is some information about the different kinds of ‘Clairs’ that describe some of these abilities and a few tips to help you practice.

‘Clair’ is from the French language and means ‘clear’. There are a number of ‘Clairs’ that we all have the ability to use.

Clairvoyance

The term we all recognise the most is clairvoyance. ‘Voyance’ means ‘vision’, so clairvoyance means clear vision.

A psychic vision is a term used to describe the way that those who are clairvoyant receive messages from Spirit. It usually begins with very short periods of ‘seeing’ things.

It is possible you may be able to see a ‘picture’ and the more you develop this gift the more detailed the vision will be and the length of time you will ‘see’ it will also increase.

Clairaudience

Clairaudience means clear hearing.

Clairaudience may start when you are very young or during meditation. You may hear a voice speaking to you, or you may hear other sounds, such as music. Spirit plays me songs all the time!

This may be your guides or other…

14 March 2022 Daily Correspondence Digest Southern Hemisphere’s 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 Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

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

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on March 14 has an illumination of 85%. 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 March 14 the Moon is 11.03 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. Between these major phases, there are 4 minor ones: the Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous and Waning Crescent. For more info on the Moon Cycle and on each phase check out Wikipedia Lunar Phase page.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, March 13 to Saturday, March 19, 2022

Click here for Georgia Nicols’ Daily Horoscopes 

All Signs

This week has challenges that will affect people’s emotions. Unfortunately, it will be easy to express displeasure and overreact to things. (“Not me!”) It will also be harder to be independent and do your own thing. In addition, as the week progresses, energy will build up to the Full Moon on Friday, which happily, will be an easier Full Moon because it is the opposition of Moon in Virgo with the Sun in Pisces. (Some Full Moons are easier than others.) Without question, my advice for the week is to “go along to get along.” Patience is a virtue. Therefore, tread carefully. Be patient. Be kind. Be tolerant. And remember that what the big print giveth, the small print taketh away.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This will be a challenging week because you might feel a bit powerless. (It will be two steps forward and one step back kinda thing, which is better than one step forward and two steps back.) It’s an axiomatic truth that there is always better and there’s always worse. Fortunately, friends will be supportive to you this week. However, you might feel competitive with someone, either an individual or a group. By the end of the week, the Full Moon on Friday might create angst dealing with pets, your health or your coworkers. But hey, the light at the end of the tunnel is on Sunday when the Sun enters Aries to stay for four weeks. Yeehaw!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a popular time for you! You are active with groups as well as younger people. Your ambition is aroused and bosses, parents and VIPs are favourably disposed to you. Having said that, you will encounter some speed bumps dealing with everyone this week. Romance will be rocky. Relations with your kids might be challenged, especially Thursday and Friday. Even though authority figures have your back, they will want you to ask for permission or forgiveness. (Oh yeah. There’s no free lunch.) Respect their authority or someone might go full Godfather on you. (Never underestimate the power of courtesy.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

As it will be for everyone, this is a challenging week for you, too. Fortunately, you have the edge because the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. (It’s important to look good at a distance.) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues because this is just asking for trouble. Why even go there? (Don’t get even – get odd.) As the week progresses, you will feel pulled between the demands of home and family and the demands of your career and your external world. That’s because of the Full Moon energy. With this particular Full Moon, you can’t ignore your public persona. Smile for the camera.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will find this week challenging because you’re in a freedom-loving mode. You want to travel. You want to do what you want to do. You want to go places! You also want to explore new avenues in publishing, higher education and the media as well as medicine and the law. The problem is you will meet with obstacles and delays in your attempts to pursue these opportunities. In fact, by Thurs./Fri., at the time of the Full Moon, it’s an accident-prone time for you, which means slow down and pay attention to everything you say and do. (It’s time to send out for dark chocolate and listen to “Wide Open Spaces”.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week you have a strong focus on money, cash flow and especially, your responsibilities for someone else that affect your financial scene. You are also gathering papers and getting ready to deal with taxes, debt and insurance issues. (This stuff doesn’t go away on its own.) Fortunately, you are royalty. You are strong and indomitable, which means you can deal with whatever is in your path. One step at a time. (Ignore that ominous sonar beep.) It’s important to be calm and patient with others because Mars is opposite your sign and this can trigger relationships glitches with those who are closest to you. Fortunately, Venus is also opposite your sign, which will help ameliorate difficulties. Make nice with everyone.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Whoa Nellie! You’re in work mode, which means you will get a lot done and others will be supportive. This applies to your job, your dealings with a pet, as well as anything related to your health. (It’s fortunate that you have the energy to work; and that others will be helpful to you.) However, be aware that this week, your challenge will be with close friends, spouses and partners. Obviously, patience will be your best ally. And you will need to be patient with others as Friday approaches bringing the only Full Moon in your sign all year! (Gulp!) Stay chill. You’ve got this. Alice Walker said, “The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This might be an exhausting week for you because you’re attempting to do a lot. You’re busting your buns working hard, as well as dealing with social situations and matters related to sports and the entertainment world. (Even romance will be challenging.) Remember: You’re a people pleaser, and you try to be all things to all people, which is impossible. Ironically, if you just please yourself, you’ll cover most of the bases anyway. It easy to get hung up on priorities, especially sorting out the people in your life. Remember – when the plane hits the tarmac, coach arrives at the same time as first-class. Keep it simple.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This week you’re full of playful, fun-loving energy, and your creative juices are flowing! This will trigger social situations, sports events and activities with your kids. Meanwhile, you’ve got increased chaos and activity on the home front. So, the bases are loaded. Get as much done as possible at home; and be patient with family members. Redecorating and tweaking your digs will appeal. (When you decide to get stuff done – you’re a machine!) You might find that as the week progresses, and the Full Moon on Friday approaches, difficulties with kids and romantic partners will intensify. Fortunately, after the Full Moon peaks, these same problems will diminish and sometimes they even disappear!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your energy is strong with respect to home, family and your private life this week. Nevertheless, you’re out there flying your colours and you’re direct in your communications with others. Fortunately, fair Venus will soften your words. Venus will also help you appreciate your daily surroundings, which is important (and a value that many people underestimate). Despite this focus on your private world, ironically, you are high viz., which means people notice you more than usual, plus they seem to know about your private life. Expect to feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career and public reputation. You will definitely feel this by Friday. Stay chill. You cannot ignore home and family.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a fast-paced week and a squirrely one! You’ve got things to do, places to go and people to see. Short trips, appointments, errands plus increased reading and writing are some reasons you are hopping! You also have a strong focus on finances and earnings. Meanwhile, many of you are spending money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. Be careful this week because it is a mildly accident-prone time for you. The Full Moon energy will build slowly until Friday, and this could create arguments with others as well as accident-prone situations driving, cycling, walking and jogging. Therefore, be alert! By the weekend, a shift happens. (“What? I thought I was on days?”)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a high-energy week for you because fiery Mars is in your sign, along with fair Venus and stern Saturn. If possible, any kind of physical energy will benefit you this week because it will give you a chance to blow off any pent-up steam building up within your system. (Working with electronics is also good for your electrical system as well.) Check the Moon Alerts in my daily columns so that you can confidently shop for wardrobe goodies for yourself. Meanwhile, prepare for some financial challenges this week that intensify until Friday. The good news is that after the Full Moon peaks on Friday, these challenges will mellow immediately. (Whew!)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This week there’s good news and there’s bad news. The bad news is that there is a lot of lunar oppositions taking place this week; in particular, as the week progresses the energy “against” your sign will increase until the Full Moon occurs on Friday – it being the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year. Naturally, this will create situations where you find yourself at odds with others. You might be impatient with partners and close friends. They might be impatient with you. Arguments could occur. The best way to handle this is to demonstrate tolerance, kindness and patience because after all, who wants to be miserable? No one! The good news is the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune are all in your sign, which is a blessing as well as an empowering energy. (“The Force is strong in this one.”)

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 11:30 AM to 4 PM EDT today (8:30 AM to 1 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Cancer into Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you might have an interest in hidden research or the occult. You might also be interested in the welfare of those who are in prison or in a hospital. You might make others aware of the plight of people who are trapped in some way.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you might choose to work on behalf of a charitable institution because you want to benefit others, especially an organized way. Or perhaps, you are concerned about the welfare of a friend because you feel sensitive to the needs of others.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

If you can use your influence with people in power to help those in need, you will do so today. Or perhaps, you feel that it is hopeless? This is the flipside of this astrological influence. You might just feel world-weary.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you have a genuine concern for those who are less fortunate, especially people who are living in other countries or distant places. You want to help them if possible. You also want to raise the awareness of their situation to others.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you will be generous to others, especially if they are less fortunate than you because you feel a genuine concern for them. This could be someone close to you, perhaps your partner or close friend; or it could be a stranger in another country. (Avoid financial decisions during the Moon Alert.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you want to help a friend or partner, or someone close to you because you feel they need your support. In fact, you might feel more concerned about them than your own needs. However, remember that you have to take care of yourself first, or you will be of no use to anyone else.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Something might make you world-weary and discouraged today about your ability to help people who are suffering or people who are less fortunate. The problem seems to be overwhelming. Forget eagle mind and focus on mouse mind. Start with small steps.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you are sensitive to the needs of children. These might be your own children or children who are strangers. You are also more in touch with your fantasy world and your creative energy today, which is why you might become involved in artistic activities.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You feel keenly sympathetic to a family member today. If you can help this person, you will. Some of you might also explore an interest in the occult or paranormal activity with a family member. This could be anything from Ouija boards to seeking out a psychic.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your imagination is heightened today, which is why you might spend a lot of time daydreaming or being lost in a fantasy world. You feel a need to escape your daily obligations. You want to evade the reality of your everyday challenges. Relax, this is temporary.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

If making financial decisions or shopping today, be aware of the Moon Alert (see above). Also, the Sun is lined up with Neptune, which makes you want to help anyone in need. This is a noble aspiration, but you need to be grounded to be effective.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today the Sun is lined up with your ruler Neptune, which greatly stimulates your awareness. It makes you more sensitive to others and more concerned with the benefit of their welfare than your own.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor William H. Macy (1959) shares your birthday today. You are quietly reserved but very determined. You are caring, compassionate and sensitive to the needs of others. You are an independent thinker. You are always generous. This is a year of hard work and construction, which means you will build something. What you build might be external and physical, or it could be an internal structure in your life.
