NGC 6334: The Cat’s Paw Nebula

Image Credit & Copyright: Stefan Steve Bemmerl & Team Wolfatorium (Hakos/Namibia)

Explanation: Nebulas are perhaps as famous for being identified with familiar shapes as perhaps cats are for getting into trouble. Still, no known cat could have created the vast Cat’s Paw Nebula visible toward the constellation of the Scorpion (Scorpius. At 5,500 light years distant, Cat’s Paw is an emission nebula with a red color that originates from an abundance of ionized hydrogen atoms. Alternatively known as the Bear Claw Nebula and cataloged as NGC 6334, stars nearly ten times the mass of our Sun have been born there in only the past few million years. Pictured here is a deep field image of the Cat’s Paw Nebula in light emitted by hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur.

How to Incorporate Wicca into Everyday Life

A Daily Wiccan routine doesn’t have to be much different from that of anyone else. Magic is simply working with the energies for channeling an intention, and the fact is that we can all practice Magic, and in fact we do it without realizing it. For example, while health experts agree that we shouldn’t take a shower every day¹ , many of us still do it as a ritual act of self-love. By setting a few minutes to consciously take care of our body, we let the water wash away any physical or emotional damage from the day, re-energizing our heart and soul 🛀

If you have ever been surprised by your own thoughts and realizations under a warm shower, then you have already experimented a ritual of Magic. Incorporating Magic into our daily lives feels just the same: A cleansing exercise for the spirit.

Daily Wiccan Practices

You probably already have some daily rituals or personal superstitions, so try combining these ideas with your usual routine in different ways until you find your preferred way to be a Wiccan:

A Thought for Today

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

Moon Alert

avoid shopping or important decisions from 8:30 AM to 7 PM EDT today (5:30 AM to 4 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Mercury will be retrograde for the next month, bringing you transportation delays and mixed-up communications with others. Delivery service will be spotty or confused. Very likely, old friends will be back in your life. Cope as best you can.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Because Mercury will be retrograde for the next month, you can expect delays in financial matters. Cheques in the mail will be late. Financial deals might be delayed or suffer from errors and confused communications. However, old business will easily be finished.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Holy moly! Your ruler Mercury will be retrograde for the next month! Expect confused communications along with delays and cancelled appointments. You might lose items or forget to bring something – all small (but frustrating) details. Courage!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

For the next month, Mercury will be retrograde in “hidden” part of your chart. This means that even though you might suffer from goofy mistakes and silly delays, you will actually be able to do excellent research into the past. Bonus!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Old friends from the past will be popping up in your life in the next 4 to 6 weeks. (This might already be occurring.) It’s good to have history with others. Plus, it’s fun to talk about the bad old days and trade lies. Enjoy reconnecting.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Mercury will be retrograde for the next month and this will take place at the top of your chart, which means you might hear from parents with whom you have not been in touch. You will also run into bosses from your past and authority figures, including teachers. (Look sharp!)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

In the next 4 to 6 weeks, you might have travel delays as well as cancellations and problems connected with all aspects of travel. Likewise, delays and confusion related to medicine and legal matters might occur. But the good news is that you can easily study and research the past. Yay!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Mercury will be retrograde for the next month, which brings silly mistakes and delays. However, this “retrograde” will facilitate any endeavour or work that involves digging into the past and finishing old business. You will get a lot of red-tape stuff done! (Taxes, debt, shared property.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

For the next six weeks, you will encounter ex-partners and old friends from your past. Very likely, for some of you, this is already happening. Depending on how things were in the past, this could be good news – or not. (Look great because living well is the best revenge.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The next six weeks might be frustrating for you because Mercury retrograde will take its toll on your work or with your job. Expect cancelled appointments, mixed-up communications, delays and broken equipment. However, the good news is that this same influence will help you to finish old business. Go figure.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Old flames from the past are likely to reappear in some way in your world once again. (“Boris!” “Natasha!”) This could be exciting or it could be harrowing depending on how the relationship ended. In the next month, old business with your kids might also be back on the table.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Family reunions and contact with family members you have not seen or heard from for a while might take place in the next 4 to 6 weeks. During this same window of time, it will be easy for you to finish old family business, including home repairs. Use this!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Grace Gummer (1986) shares your birthday today. You are practical, gracious, persevering and patient. You love the arts, especially music. You definitely enjoy the finer things in life. This year will be slower paced. You will also have a stronger focus on partnerships and your closest relationships. Take time to discover the relationships that benefit you.

A Martian Eclipse: Phobos Crosses the Sun

Video Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech, ASU MSSS, SSIExplanation: What’s that passing in front of the Sun? It looks like a moon, but it can’t be Earth’s Moon, because it isn’t round. It’s the Martian moon Phobos. The featured video was taken from the surface of Mars a month ago by the Perseverance rover. Phobos, at 11.5 kilometers across, is 150 times smaller than Luna (our moon) in diameter, but also 50 times closer to its parent planet. In fact, Phobos is so close to Mars that it is expected to break up and crash into Mars within the next 50 million years. In the near term, the low orbit of Phobos results in more rapid solar eclipses than seen from Earth. The featured video is shown in real time — the transit really took about 40 seconds,as shown. The videographer — the robotic rover Perseverance (Percy) — continues to explore Jezero Crater on Mars, searching not only for clues to the watery history of the now dry world, but evidence of ancient microbial life.

All Signs

Two big changes take place this week: Mercury goes retrograde in its own sign Gemini, to stay retrograde until Friday, June 3. (Note: The shadow period continues until June 19. Avoid buying cars, computers and cell phones until after the shadow period is over.) The second major event is that Jupiter will burst into Aries and stay there until the end of October. (Wow.) This bold, flowering of energy will benefit every sign in a new way. “Look ma, no hands!” Caution: Jupiter in Aries will make you enthusiastic and tempt you to act without thinking. Never forget: What the large print giveth – the small print taketh away. Which brings to mind Mark Twain: “Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Glory hallelujah! Lucky Jupiter enters your sign this week to stay for six months! The last time this happened was in 2010 – 2011. This signals a new 12-year cycle of growth in your life. It’s a new cycle where you will discover who you really are as an individual. It promotes learning and gaining new experiences. People and resources will be easily drawn to you because this is a fortunate time for you. Yes, you are blessed! You will have divine protection. Nevertheless, expect transportation delays and mixed-up communications during Mercury retrograde. (Ouch.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Jupiter is associated with wisdom, religion, philosophy and the law. It symbolizes the glue that holds society together. It magnifies and benefits. (Indeed, it is called the “Great Benefic.”) It always denotes the higher aspects of life, especially consciousness-expanding awareness. (Heady stuff.) Meanwhile, for the next six months, Jupiter will be in the part of your chart that deals with spiritualism and mystical ideals. This means that for the rest of this year, you will begin to more deeply explore the spiritual and religious dimensions of your life. You will come to appreciate that we are all in this Big Soup together. You might become a teacher or a student.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Jupiter changes signs this week, which is good news for you! The next six months will flow more easily for you. It will be a time of growth and optimism. Relations with others will improve because you will be more generous and tolerant and not easily bothered if things go wrong. This will be an excellent time for making plans. Your popularity with others will expand because you might become more involved with friends and groups. You might even boost your income through your interaction with groups. (Jupiter symbolizes wealth.) Meanwhile, with Mercury retrograde in your sign for the next few weeks – steady as she goes! When delays and goofy mistakes occur, be patient with yourself.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Good news! Lucky Jupiter will be at the top of your chart for the next six months. (For the first time since 2010-2011.) This means that you will look successful in the eyes of others, especially parents, teachers, bosses, authority figures and the police. Typically, it signifies a time of promotion, awards, kudos and a recognition of your efforts professionally or personally. Many of you will experience work-related travel more than usual. If you want to change your profession, now will be the time, especially if you want to explore a field of work related to medicine and healing, the law, higher education and travel. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde will help you do research! Bonus!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week Jupiter enters your fellow Fire sign, which will be a fabulous support for you for the rest of year! (Like a leg on the three-legged stool.) Because life will feel pleasant, you might want to kick back and relax; but that would be a waste of opportunity. Your creative potential is fantastic for the rest of this year; plus, you’ll be self-confident and strong. Therefore, pursue your dreams! This year will also be excellent for finances. (This will help to make your surroundings more elegant; plus make increased travel possible.) Meanwhile, old friends are back in your life, which can be interesting or tedious, depending on the relationship. Life is brief. It’s illuminative to acknowledge people from your past.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Jupiter changes signs this week, which is good news for you because it means that you will get richer! Ka-ching! That’s because Jupiter will be in one of your Money Houses, specifically, that part of your chart that relates to the wealth of others. You might inherit, or get money back from the government, or you might benefit indirectly because of the increased wealth of your partner. It will be an easy time for you to get a loan or mortgage because doors will open for you! Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde is occurring at the top of your chart, which means you might hear from bosses, parents and authority figures from your past. Be prepared. Look sharp!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Only once in 12 years, does lucky Jupiter sit opposite your sign. The last time this occurred was 2010-2011. Starting this week, it has returned and will stay there for the rest of year. This means it’s a time of culmination in your life — a time of success. You might acquire possessions, money and social prestige. You will go after what you want, especially indulging yourself! Jupiter will enhance your closest relationships; (indeed, this is one of the best years in over a decade for Librans to marry). Meanwhile, in the next month, Mercury retrograde will help you study and wrap up writing projects. However, it could cause delays and snafus to travel plans. If you travel, go someplace you have been before. Bon voyage!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’ll be glad to hear that for the rest of this year, you have marvellous opportunities to improve your job or get a better job! Your duties might improve. Work-related travel might please you. You might earn more money. However, if none of these things occur – then look for work because this is your year to seek work satisfaction. You can also improve your health. You will feel more vigourous and more positive about life. Some will get much joy from involvement with pets. All these things are possible this year because Jupiter changes signs this week. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde will help you wrap up taxes, debt and shared property.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is week, your ruler Jupiter will move into your fellow Fire Sign, which is beneficial for you. It will be so helpful you might want to relax and play for the rest of the year. But this would mean missing a great opportunity because your creative vibes are hot! Use your talented ideas and increased self-confidence to explore the arts, publishing, the media, involvement in sports as well as areas related to medicine and healing. It’s a great year to socialize! It’s also the perfect time to take a vacation — the best in over a decade! Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde is attracting ex-partners and old friends from the past. It’s time to trade lies and talk about the bad old days.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You have conservative values: paid-for home, white picket fence, 2.5 kids, God, motherhood and the flag. This is why you’ll be happy for the rest of this year. Lucky Jupiter will bring good fortune to your home, family and private life. In fact, this is your best chance in over a decade to improve where you live by buying beautiful things, or redecorating or renovating. Some will move to better digs. Others will benefit financially through real-estate speculation. Likewise, family relationships will be enhanced in a lovely way. Family members will be friendlier and more generous to each other. Meanwhile, prepare for goofy mistakes and delays at work due to Mercury retrograde, which lasts a mere month. Phffft!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Life will flow more easily for you for the rest of year because Jupiter is changing signs this week. You will find that you will move in the direction you want with very few obstacles. The rest of this year will be a time of growth, optimism and taking it easy. Your relations with relatives and daily contacts will improve. This is also a great year for making plans because you’re ready to “think big.” Also, you will realize that many of the limitations you thought were imposed from without are actually self-imposed. Ain’t it the truth? The secret to your success this year will be the power positive thinking. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde will attract old flames back into your world. (This is always interesting.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

“Show me the money!” Once every 12 years, lucky, moneybags Jupiter travels through your House of Earnings. As of this week, that time has arrived! This means that for the rest of this year, you will earn more money or get richer for some reason. You will attract wealth and assets to you directly or indirectly. However, to put a finer point on it, you will actualize whatever it is you value. This is what you will attract. It’s a good year to take an honest look at your goals and your values. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde will attract family members back into your world, and you will find yourself dealing with past issues and old memories.
