Moon Alert

After 2:40 AM EDT today, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The Moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today the Moon is in a sign that is opposite from your sign, which means you have to cooperate with others. You have to be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with them. This could trigger an interesting conversation with a sibling or neighbour. Stay open.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you might have to put your personal considerations second to those of someone else. Or perhaps, you have to cooperate with a certain situation, especially at work? Hey, you’re not being a martyr. This is simply how your day is rolling. No biggie.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Grab every chance to enjoy a social outing or an entertaining distraction because this will please you today. It could involve activities with children, the arts, the entertainment world or something to do with sports. It might also involve an old acquaintance.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This has been a popular time for you, which means at times, you have been you have been all things to all people. This can be exhausting! That’s why today might be your perfect chance to take a breather and hide at home. Find a private cubbyhole where you can replenish yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you have a strong need to express yourself. You want to be heard because you have something important to say. You don’t want to be caught up in superficial conversations that you feel are a waste of time. You want a real exchange with someone.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because the Moon is sitting in your House of Earnings, you will emotionally identify with your possessions and your wealth today. This is why you might have a strong attachment for something. (“My precious!”) Some of you might be put in a position where you feel you have to defend yourself.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today and tomorrow the Moon is in your sign. This happens every month for about two days, and when it occurs, it gives you a slight advantage over all the other signs. However, it can also make you more emotional than usual. Be aware of this.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It’s quite alright if you want to withdraw and keep your feelings to yourself today, especially if you feel a tad insecure. (We’ve all been there.) Very likely, you don’t feel like socializing. Hey, relax. On Saturday, you’ll be out there flying your colours!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A heart-to-heart conversation with a female might be important today. This could be because you want to share some personal information or vice versa, someone wants to share their thoughts with you. This might be why you feel more protective of others. It’s all good.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It’s curious; both today and tomorrow, personal details about your private life might be a bit public. For some reason, people are talking about you. Are you aware of this? (If you are aware of this, you might take control of the narrative.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

In an effort to broaden your horizons today (or do something different), you might encounter someone who is unusual? Perhaps they have a different background from yours? This could be learning opportunity for you. Meanwhile this is a good day to make travel plans.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is an excellent day to catch up on old business from the past, especially items related to wills, estates, shared property, insurance issues, taxes, debt – all that sort of thing. It can make you cringe, but hey, it’s not going to go away by itself, is it?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Emily VanCamp (1986) shares your birthday today. You are friendly, caring and personable. People like you. You are also determined and work hard to attain your goals.

May 12, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest Post

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

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on May 12 has an illumination of 83%. 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 May 12 the Moon is 10.75 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.

2022 May 12

Young Stars of NGC 346

Image Credit: NASAESA – acknowledgement: Antonella Nota (ESA/STScIet al.,

Explanation: The massive stars of NGC 346 are short lived, but very energetic. The star cluster is embedded in the largest star forming region in the Small Magellanic Cloud, some 210,000 light-years distant. Their winds and radiation sweep out an interstellar cavern in the gas and dust cloud about 200 light-years across, triggering star formation and sculpting the region’s dense inner edge. Cataloged as N66, the star forming region also appears to contain a large population of infant stars. A mere 3 to 5 million years old and not yet burning hydrogen in their cores, the infant stars are strewn about the embedded star cluster. In this false-color Hubble Space Telescope image, visible and near-infrared light are seen as blue and green, while light from atomic hydrogen emission is red.

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may you blessed be.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today except during 9 PM to 11:40 PM PDT. The Moon is in Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You’re focused on money and possessions. This is a good thing because although one doesn’t need to be obsessed about money and possessions, on the other hand, you cannot ignore this reality. Take stock. What are your assets? What do you own?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Right now, the Sun is in your sign, which is a marvellous opportunity that comes once a year and lasts for four weeks. This boosts your energy and improves your luck. It’s the perfect time to go after what you want. Use this opportunity to your advantage!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

If that little voice on your shoulder tells you to lie low and take things easy today – listen to it. You have been ambitious. You have also been friendly with others. Right now, you need to take a breather and pull your act together before you take it on the road.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is an excellent day to think about your long-term goals. Goals can be invaluable. They give you a clearer focus on what’s important. They make future decision-making easier. They give you better control over your future and how it unfolds. And they give you a sense of purpose.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are still basking in the flattering light of the Sun at the top of your chart. Since this happens only once a year, make the most of this! Bosses, parents and VIPs are impressed with you even if you don’t do anything special. Use this!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You want to get outta Dodge. You need a change of scenery! You want a chance to explore new places, meet new faces and learn new ideas. Therefore, shake things up a little! Go someplace you’ve never been before. Ideas?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are private about your finances. Many are. (People will discuss their sex life before their salaries.) Stay in touch with important paperwork related to taxes, debt, insurance issues and shared property. Don’t put these papers in a neat pile and forget about them.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a fortunate time because with the Sun opposite your sign, you have more objectivity to observe your closest relationships. (Close friends, spouses and partners.) This objectivity will allow you to see how to improve these relationships. Note: Focus on what you can do – not the other person.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re gung-ho to accomplish a lot because you have focus, motivation and the energy to follow through on your ideas. This is because the Sun is helping you to work hard now and to get better organized. Use this gift and act on it. What more could you want?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Everything to do with the arts, playful times with children, social outings and sports events will appeal to you now. Quite often, you bury yourself in your work because you have a strong sense of responsibility. Today however, is an excellent time to play. Make plans with a friend.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Some of you are focused more than usual on a parent, perhaps taking care of them or being more involved in their life. Others are happy to cocoon at home today to hide or regenerate because it feels good. (Remember to include some fav snacks.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Errands, appointments, short trips plus reading and studying are some of the reasons you’re so busy! Just accept the fact that your pace has accelerated with these increased demands on your time. This is how things are rolling. Get cracking!

MAY 11 birthday horoscope predicts that you are exceptionally smart and talented, and demand respect. If nurtured, these Taurus birthday people have a huge potential for success. You will excel at anything that you put your mind too.

These Taureans are smart bulls and want to pass their experiences down to their kids and other family members. Usually, those born on this day are close to their parents but even that relationship can have its difficult moments.

The May 11 birthday personality are likely to mingle with like-minded professionals. However, they are devoted to their friends. Sovereignty is vital to this zodiac birthday. Therefore maintaining close relationships or friendships is not a priority of the bull. You are most conscientious when someone else‘s needs must be considered.

This birthday characteristic can cause friction amongst associates and lovers. When it is all said, you may suffer disappointments in love. On the other hand, when you fall in love, it can be one intense love affair.

The May 11 birthday astrology analysis predicts that you are typically attractive, smart and interesting bulls. You love to laugh and share a good joke or two. In love relationships, you can come off as being wishy-washy or indecisive, but really, you are just cautious. The Taurus’ born on this birthday can be short-tempered and show signs of being somewhat unstable.

If today May 11 is your birthday, you typically will walk away from confrontation. You are likely to be a jealous partner but aim to please your partner, so the ill feelings are short-lived. You characteristically have hopes for committing to your one and only soul mate.

The May 11 horoscope meanings suggest that you are creative and emotional people who would make great scriptwriters or some type of performing artist. You have the potential to make an uncertain amount of money but may need to leave your checkbook at home sometimes. Some of you are likely to be shopaholics.

The May 11th horoscope predicts that you are likely to involve yourself in some precarious ventures. As the May 11 zodiac sign is Taurus, a career you choose will need to provide diversity and a measurable amount of opportunities for climbing the ladder.

You dream of living the good life, the life of a star. It takes a lot to handle the pressures of a rich lifestyle, but you believe in your abilities and depend on your morals to keep you grounded. You prefer to work at your own pace. You will not be pushed into anything that you don’t want to do.

Typically, the Taurus natives born today are earthy beings. The May 11 Taurus birthday people enjoy an organic regime of eating healthy and wholesome living. You can take extreme measures to being fit. You find that combining yoga, meditation, and fasting can be useful and have both psychic and corporeal benefits.

If your birthday is May 11, you are a Taurus who has great potential for greatness. This could find you in the entertainment field perhaps writing for a sitcom or on stage performing. When this famous bull comes out to socialize, it is to improve their financial or personal position.

The May 11 birthday personality gets a sour taste in their mouth when they come across bad behavior. You do not go in for all that drama but instead, treasure your freedom and peace of mind. You are generous and loving parents. Sometimes, you can be excitable, but meditation and yoga sessions should be of benefit to both the mind and body.

May 11, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest

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

Today and tonight the Moon will be in 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 May 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

May 11 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 May 11

Astronomers think that in the future the “Cheshire Cat” group will become what is known as a fossil group, a gathering of galaxies that contains one giant elliptical galaxy and other much smaller, fainter ones. Today, researchers know each “eye” galaxy is the brightest member of its own group of galaxies and these two groups are racing toward one another at over 300,000 miles per hour. Data from Chandra (purple), which has been combined with optical data from Hubble, show hot gas that has been heated to millions of degrees, which is evidence that the galaxy groups are slamming into one another. Chandra’s X-ray data also reveal that the left “eye” of the Cheshire Cat group contains an actively feeding supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy.

Gravity’s Grin

Image Credit: X-ray – NASA / CXC / J. Irwin et al. ; Optical – NASA/STScI

Explanation: Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, published over 100 years ago, predicted the phenomenon of gravitational lensing. And that’s what gives these distant galaxies such a whimsical appearance, seen through the looking glass of X-ray and optical image data from the Chandra and Hubble space telescopes. Nicknamed the Cheshire Cat galaxy group, the group’s two large elliptical galaxies are suggestively framed by arcs. The arcs are optical images of distant background galaxies lensed by the foreground group’s total distribution of gravitational mass. Of course, that gravitational mass is dominated by dark matter. The two large elliptical “eye” galaxies represent the brightest members of their own galaxy groups which are merging. Their relative collisional speed of nearly 1,350 kilometers/second heats gas to millions of degrees producing the X-ray glow shown in purple hues. Curiouser about galaxy group mergers? The Cheshire Cat group grins in the constellation Ursa Major, some 4.6 billion light-years away.

May 2022 – Gardening by the Moon, Biodynamic Planting Guide

From Astro-Seek.com

Please read this first:

1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:

Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.

  • a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
  • b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days

Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.

2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)

There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:

  • a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
  • b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac

Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

  • Time to rest, celebrate and meditate.


NEW MOON PHASE

New Moon -» First Quarter (Waxing Crescent)

– Moonlight is increasing

– Strongest gravitational pull

– Soil releases / Earth exhales / Energy draws UP into upper planets

  • Sow/Plant: Above ground Leaf plants, Cereals, Grains, Lawns, Herbs, Cucumbers.
  • Jobs: Graft, Mow lawns & Prune foliage (to increase growth).


FIRST QUARTER PHASE

First Quarter -» Full Moon (Waxing Gibbous)

– Moonlight becomes stronger

– Gravitational pull is a little less now

– Soil releases / Earth exhales / Energy draws UP into upper planets

  • Sow/Plant: Above ground Fruit plants (with “inside seeds” such as Tomatoes, Peppers, Peas and Bean), Cereals, Grains, Lawns and Flowers.
  • Jobs: Graft, Mow lawns & Prune foliage (to increase growth).
  • Planting and Grafting take best if done two days just before the Full Moon.

Mercury has super long, glowing tail

Mercury has a glowing dragon tail of sodium atoms that is more than seven times longer than ever suspected, scientists report.

New measurements of Mercury’s yellow-orange tail, which streams in the solar wind like the long tail of a kite, put it at more than 100 times the radius of the planet itself.

The neutral sodium atoms that make up the 2.5 million kilometre-long streamer are thought to be blasted off the surface by the sun and micro-meteor impacts. These impart enough energy to launch the atoms into space.

Other elements are also in the tail. But it’s the sodium that lights up and can be detected.

“This [sodium] ion is the ‘little atom that could’,” says Mercury researcher Dr Ann Sprague of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

It scatters photons like crazy, making it a great clue to various processes at work on and around the planet.

Shorter tail spotted before

Mercury’s tail has been spotted before, but scientists missed its great length as they were looking at too small a piece of the sky, says researcher Jeffrey Baumgardner of Boston University.

Baumgardner is the lead author of a report on Mercury’s sodium tail in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

“Our forte was wide-angle imaging,” Baumgardner says.

His team created an 8°-wide image using a telescope at McDonald Observatory in Texas that’s about 16 full-moons wide.

The actual 2° sodium tail is as long as four full moons.

In the image Mercury is blocked out because its brightness outshines the sodium tail. If Mercury were shown to scale in the image, it would be less than a pixel in diameter.

“But even so, you are limited by the sodium in Earth’s atmosphere,” says Baumgardner.

Earth’s own sodium glow is itself created by the steady supply of meteors that burn up in the atmosphere, he says.

Two sodium hot spots

To better understand how Mercury’s tail is created, Baumgardner’s team also made close-up sodium-glow images of Mercury. This revealed that the planet has two sodium hot spots, both at high latitudes.

These could be the product of the planet’s mineralogy, topography or have something to do with how the planet’s magnetic field channels in particles from the sun.

That’s similar to how Earth does the same thing and creates aurora light shows near the poles.

The secrets of these hotspots are likely to be revealed by the Messenger spacecraft, says Sprague.

Messenger made a close fly-by of the planet in January and is scheduled to settle into orbit in March 2011.

A large part of Messenger’s mission will be to map out the mineral composition of the swiftly moving planet.

Other planets have tails too

Mercury is not the only heavenly body with a sodium tail, Baumgardner says.

Neutral sodium is also seen streaming from our moon and forming a haze around Jupiter from the sodium blasted off of its tiny and hyper-volcanic moon Io.

It’s also seen blowing from comets.

Because tails are associated with rocky bodies in our solar system, they could some day help planet hunters identify rocky worlds orbiting other stars, says Sprague.

“It’s a stepping stone to understanding other planets,” he says.
