Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or important decisions from 4 AM to 7 AM EDT today (1 AM to 4 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You feel more intense about everything today. (This includes passionate romance.) However, most of you will probably steer this intense focus to issues about shared property or something that someone else owns? You might even feel jealous or possessive?
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today your attention turns to your most personal relationships because you want to express yourself in passionate terms. You have something to say! Nevertheless, guard against knee-jerk reactions. Furthermore, keep in mind confrontations will be colourful!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
For those with the weekend off, home crafts and tidying up at home or restocking hygiene items and healthy food will be a top priority because the Moon is sitting in your House of Health and Work. It will please you to get better organized.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a lovely Saturday! The Moon is in a playful part of your chart; plus, it is in your fellow Water Sign. Make a point of having some fun today! Check out entertaining diversions. Meet a friend for lunch. Enjoy sports or playful activities with kids. It’s a great date day!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You will have a warm feeling in your tummy if you can relax at home today. Some might be involved more than usual with a parent. Nevertheless, you will love to cocoon and take it easy amid familiar surroundings. Buy fresh flowers.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today your communications with others are important, which is why you want to get down to the basics. You want to talk about something that matters, not superficial chitchat. A conversation with a female could be significant.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You love beautiful things. In part, this is because more than any other sign, you are affected by your immediate environment – colours, smells and lighting. You might shop for beautiful things today, especially clothing or pretty things for where you live.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today and tomorrow, the Moon is in your sign, something that happens for two and half days every month. When this happens, it slightly improves your good luck! This means that you have the edge if you want to ask for something or go after what you want. Remember this!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today the Moon is hiding in your chart, if you will, which in turn, makes you want to withdraw from the busyness around you. It also makes you want to keep your feelings secret. You might not feel like socializing. That’s okay! Take some quiet time for yourself.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is a good day to talk to a friend and share your hopes and dreams for the future with them because their feedback might be helpful to you. They might show you a new dimension to what is possible? So often, we are held back by your own self limitations.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Every month, for two and a half days, the Moon crosses the top of your chart. When this occurs, it means that the public is more aware of you than usual. This is why certain people might be talking about you. In fact, they seem to know personal details about your private life. (Be aware of this.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today you have a strong urge to do something different and exciting! By all means, travel if you can. Perhaps you can take a short trip or go someplace you’ve never been before? You will also find it satisfying to learn something new and talk to people from other cultures.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Tim Roth (1961) shares your birthday today. You are a creative person who is independent and hard-working. You have excellent business savvy. You are also unconventional and stubborn, at times. This year is a time of learning and teaching for you. You might be attracted to meditation, yoga, prayer or religion. Time spent in solitude will be enriching.

May 14, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest
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 Word is
Spiffy
Brought to you by wordoftheday.net
Spiffy / adjective / ˈspi-fē
“Spiffy” is an adjective we use in the English language to describe a person’s clothing and outer appearance. Someone said to be looking “spiffy” is well-dressed and sharp looking in their appearance. While the word doesn’t always apply to high fashion, when we think of the word “spiffy,” we think of elegant, well-dressed partygoers or business persons who have put on their most stunning outfits.
In a Sentence
The new army recruits were looking very “spiffy” in their uniforms.
The groom was looking spiffy in his tuxedo as he awaited the arrival of his bride.
That is quite a spiffy-looking vehicle you’re driving!
Etymology
Spiffy first entered the English language as an adjective. Etymologists say that “spiffy” was used to describe snappy dressers in the mid-18th century. We first see the word recorded toward the latter end of the 18th century in 1877. Other words derived from “spiffy” include ‘spiffier’ and ‘spifiest.’ All iterations of the word carry the same meaning intending to describe well-dressed people and people wearing high fashion or trending items of their time. “Spiffy” hasn’t changed its definition since its first introduction into the language.

Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Libra.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Because of the possibility of transportation delays, missed buses and auto breakdowns (to name a few reasons for hang ups today) – be smart and give yourself extra time so that you have wiggle room to deal with the unexpected. You’ll be glad you did.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Double check financial dealings in case there are errors that will create future delays. If you’re looking for a job, go back to where you have applied or worked before because contacts from the past will be your best option. Cheques in the mail are late.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Don’t be hard on yourself for forgetting things, leaving things behind, missing appointments or running late because these are par for the course when Mercury retrograde is taking place in your sign. Lighten up! Enjoy your day. This is just a brief dark cloud on your horizon.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Your ability to research and dig up answers from the past is strong because of the placement of Mercury retrograde in your chart. Your mind is like a diamond drill bit that can burrow deep down to find what you’re looking for. Yes!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is a good time to examine your attitude toward a group, club or organization to which you belong. You might want to discuss a problem with a friend, something that’s been going on for a while. You might see a way to remedy things so that in the future, things will work better for everyone.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is the perfect day to wrap up old business, especially if it means talking to a boss or an employer. In fact, you might want to reassess old goals? This is a good time to finish any kind of course or training that you have been doing to help your career.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Although delays to travel plans are likely; nevertheless, you will find your ability to study and learn is excellent. You will get the best results if you study something from the past – history, archaeology, anthropology or you finish a paper or project that was already started.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
During this window of Mercury retrograde, you will find it easy to wrap up details that have been dragging on regarding insurance matters, wills, estates, inheritances and anything to do with shared property. You can get this stuff done now! Just do it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Mercury goes retrograde three times a year. It is retrograde now, and this particular Mercury retrograde is taking place opposite your sign. This is why you will attract old partners and ex-spouses back into your life. (This could be good or not so good depending on your scenario.) Hopefully, this is an opportunity for closure.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Be patient with delays and silly goof ups and mistakes at work. Late deliveries, mixed-up communications, machinery breakdowns and staff shortages will be par for the course. Instead, work to finish old projects because these will go quickly and be successful.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Many things from the past might be bubbling up on your plate now. Old flames and romantic interests might be one of them. Meanwhile, some of you will have a chance to get a diagnosis for an ailment or sickness that has plagued you. At last – clarity.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Do take advantage of this window of opportunity that is yours for a few more weeks because it will help you to finish repair projects at home and wrap up important family conversations, including disputes. Anything that helps should not be ignored.

MAY 13 birthday horoscope shows that you are responsible, funny, and respectable people. You do not wait for things to happen. You are a self-starter. These Taurus birthday individuals are usually impatient with people’s laziness or people’s lack of interest in life. You always take the initiative to do new things.
However, the May 13 birthday personality have a dark side to them that significant to anyone. They have the potential to work hard for what they want.
The May 13 zodiac birthday individuals are likely to maintain their distance when it comes to family gatherings and reunions. If today is your birthday, you are uncomfortable in group settings. You may have conflicts with certain family members preventing you from staying in touch as much as you should, if at all.
It would seem that perhaps you are not the most thoughtful parent, which is contrary to how you feel about your children. You love them very much but showing it is a difficult task.
The May 13 birthday astrology analysis predicts that you have a great desire to be happy. You do not like to be tied down and want a life that is certainly satisfying financially and emotionally. More than anything, you desire a world filled with champagne, caviar…, and a partner to share it with.
This partner must be able to share your goals and dreams. The May 13 zodiac love compatibility predictions show that you crave for a lover who is trustworthy and easy going. This person is usually hard for this Taurean to find. You tend to rush into love not thinking beyond the physical attraction and are often disappointed. This might take a toll on your current relationships.
The May 13 horoscope predicts that you will jump at an opportunity to do what you love. You may be at that place in life where it has a different tone than before. You will think of personal happiness and success as opposed to just making it or just having a job.
The career change may pay more and be more gratifying than past opportunities, but money is not your objective anymore. With a certain maturity and age comes the desire to do something different and meaningful.
The May 13 birthday meanings show that you will likely play a game of ball and expect it to be enough physical exercise for the month. While those born on this birthday despise laziness, you are guilty of having that attitude about exercise.
Typically, you do not stick to a routine at all or a healthy eating regime. May 13 birthday personality should watch their junk food intake. As you approach mid-life, things begin to change. Too much of the wrong foods can make your clothes fit differently.
As the May 13 birthday zodiac sign is Taurus, you are a responsible and imaginative Bull. But you can be estranged from family members. You can be inattentive parents but have a hidden love for your children.
However, when it comes to your feelings and romance, this Taurus is open and revealing. Money is not as important as it used to be and you will have an opportunity to change careers. This change is long-awaited as it comes around mid-life. It is an important change, nonetheless. Perhaps, the May 13 Taurus birthday individuals need to take better care of their health.

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.

The Milky Way’s Black Hole
Image Credit: X-ray – NASA/CXC/SAO, IR – NASA/HST/STScI; Inset: Radio – Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
Explanation: There’s a black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Stars are observed to orbit a very massive and compact object there known as Sgr A* (say “sadge-ay-star”). But this just released radio image (inset) from planet Earth’s Event Horizon Telescope is the first direct evidence of the Milky Way’s central black hole. As predicted by Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, the four million solar mass black hole’s strong gravity is bending light and creating a shadow-like dark central region surrounded by a bright ring-like structure. Supporting observations made by space-based telescopes and ground-based observatories provide a wider view of the galactic center’s dynamic environment and an important context for the Event Horizon Telescope’s black hole image. The main panel image shows the X-ray data from Chandra and infrared data from Hubble. While the main panel is about 7-light years across, the Event Horizon Telescope inset image itself spans a mere 10 light-minutes at the center of our galaxy, some 27,000 light-years away.

The Event Horizon Telescope network has captured the second-ever direct image of a black hole — called Sagittarius A* — at the center of the Milky Way.
Radio astronomers have imaged the super massive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. It is only the second-ever direct image of a black hole, after the same team unveiled a historic picture of a more distant black hole in 2019.
The long-awaited results, presented today by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, show an image reminiscent of the earlier one, with a ring of radiation surrounding a darker disk of precisely the size that was predicted from indirect observations and from Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity.
“Today, right this moment, we have direct evidence that this object is a black hole,” said astrophysicist Sara Issaoun of the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics at a press conference in Garching, Germany.
“We’ve been working on this for so long, every once and a while you have to pinch yourself and remember that this is the black hole at the centre of our Universe,” said computational-imaging researcher and former EHT team member Katie Bouman at a press conference in Washington, DC. “I mean, what’s more cool than seeing the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way?”
