Titan Seas Reflect Sunlight

Image Credit: NASAJPL-CaltechU. ArizonaU. Idaho

Explanation: Why would the surface of Titan light up with a blinding flash? The reason: a sunglint from liquid seas. Saturn’s moon Titan has numerous smooth lakes of methane that, when the angle is right, reflect sunlight as if they were mirrors. Pictured here in false-color, the robotic Cassini spacecraft that orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017 imaged the cloud-covered Titan in 2014 in different bands of cloud-piercing infrared light. This specular reflection was so bright it saturated one of Cassini’s infrared cameras. Although the sunglint was annoying — it was also useful. The reflecting regions confirm that northern Titan houses a wide and complex array of seas with a geometry that indicates periods of significant evaporation. During its numerous passes of our Solar System‘s most mysterious moon, Cassini has revealed Titan to be a world with active weather — including times when it rains a liquefied version of natural gas.

A Thought for Today – Crack the Cookie

To me this is saying to spend time alone either meditating or starting some type of a journal – dream, gratitude, what I like about myself, what I don’t like about myself and should work on, etc. What does it say to you?

Blessed be dear Sisters, Brothers, and honored Guests

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 7:30 PM to 9 PM EDT today (4:30 PM to 6 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you have the power to see the subtext of things. You know what’s going on beneath the surface. You will also know immediately if someone is lying to you. It’s almost as if you have x-ray vision. (“I see dead people.”)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You will be powerful if talking to someone today, probably someone younger. This discussion might relate to your goals or your position on something in a group or an organization. Possibly, you will attract someone to you who is also powerful. (“Hi Darth.”)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you will have a powerful conversation with a parent, teacher, boss or member of the police. You might express innovative ideas about how to make improvements. You might suggest they take a new approach to doing things, especially how to use their authority. (Caution: Do not offend.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a fantastic day to study or learn something new because your mind is focused, and you have the perseverance to keep on going in order to learn what you need to know. Some of you might teach others. If so, you will be persuasive.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you are focused and productive, especially if dealing with financial matters related to inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt. You are determined to get to the bottom of things and find out what you’re looking for. You might learn something about your partner’s wealth, perhaps a secret.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A conversation with a partner or close friend will be powerful and to the point today. You might discuss a delicate, hidden subject. Or you might discuss how to improve the relationship itself? You will attract someone with strong views to you today – almost certainly.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you see ways to improve your work, your job or how you approach certain tasks. This is a welcome thing because why not do things better? Nevertheless, someone else might not agree with you. They might feel criticized. Meanwhile, you might see ways how to improve your health. Bonus!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Parents would be wise to be diplomatic and gentle handed when talking to their kids today because it’s easy to go overboard or come on like Godzilla. Likewise, romantic partners might have an intense discussion where they want to “get to the bottom of things.” Oops.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You have innovative ideas about how to do repairs at home today, which could spark family discussions. This is also a good day to see how to make repairs to bathrooms, plumbing and areas related to garbage and recycling. “Let’s clean things up!”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You have an investigative mind today, which is why you want answers to questions. You also want to solve riddles and mysteries. In discussions with others, you will want the straight facts – the real skinny – nothing phony. “Tell it like it is. Don’t sugarcoat things.”

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Because you’re in an innovative frame of mind today, you might see new uses for something that you already own. How resourceful! Likewise, some of you might also see new ways to make money, or perhaps a better paying job or ways to make money on the side.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today you are intrigued by mysteries, secrets and the subtext of things. You want the facts. You want to know who the man behind the curtain is. When talking to others, you might be more forceful than usual because you want answers.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor, comedian Martin Short (1950) shares your birthday today. You are focused, hard-working and determined. You go after what you want. You are a perfectionist with an eye for detail. Good news! This year your chickens come home to roost. Your hard work will pay off with a promotion, a raise, kudos, an award or some kind of acknowledgement. Bravo!

Pagan Meal Blessing Spell

Meal Blessing Spell

You can do this any day, or on a special occasion, before preparing a meal.

1. Light a candle in the kitchen and pass your hand three times, clockwise, over the food you are preparing.

2. Say softly three times:
“A blessing on the meal and peace on earth.”
3. Before setting the dining table, carry the same candle to the center of the table.

4. When the food is on the table, or just before you serve it, say:

“Give thanks to the Mother Earth.
Give thanks to the Father Sun.
Give thanks to the plants in the garden,
Where the Mother and Father are One.”
If you know the people well, you could say these blessing words before the meal. But if not, say them silently in your heart.

Pluto at Night

Explanation: The night side of Pluto spans this shadowy scene. In the stunning spacebased perspective the Sun is 4.9 billion kilometers (almost 4.5 light-hours) behind the dim and distant world. It was captured by far flung New Horizons in July of 2015 when the spacecraft was at a range of some 21,000 kilometers from Pluto, about 19 minutes after its closest approach. A denizen of the Kuiper Belt in dramatic silhouette, the image also reveals Pluto’s tenuous, surprisingly complex layers of hazy atmosphere. Near the top of the frame the crescent twilight landscape includes southern areas of nitrogen ice plains now formally known as Sputnik Planitia and rugged mountains of water-ice in the Norgay Montes.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you will make your point when talking to others. Nevertheless, a parent or boss (or someone in authority) might do something that affects your cash flow, earnings or assets in some way. Or perhaps something will affect a possession you own? Make sure you get to the bottom of things.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Something related to travel plans is unpredictable today. For example, scheduled travel plans might be delayed or cancelled, whereas some of you might suddenly have to travel when you did not expect to do so. University and college schedules are also unreliable. It’s a crapshoot.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a popular time for you. You’re in the groove! Nevertheless, something unexpected might impact banking details or something to do with inheritances, insurance matters or shared property. Double check everything to stay on top financial matters.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

People continue to admire you. (Looking good!) Be cooperative with close friends and partners, but expect a few surprises. Someone might demand more freedom in the relationship? Or perhaps they will have a surprising suggestion? You might meet someone unusual today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your work routine will probably be interrupted for some reason today. Or perhaps, unexpected news that is health-related will surprise you? Pet owners should be vigilant because something related to your pet might catch you off guard. Today will have some unexpected events.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Parents take note: This is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids, so be vigilant. Know where they are at all times. Social plans might also change suddenly today. Or perhaps, you will receive a surprise invitation to go somewhere? Be aware that this window of opportunity will be brief, so act fast.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Something unexpected might impact your home routine today. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Someone unexpected might appear at your door. Be wise and stock the fridge so you’re ready for anything. “Coffee, tea, beer?”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a mildly accident-prone day for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do to minimize problems. Stay cool because emotional distractions can cause accidents. Meanwhile, unusual news, new faces and new places will keep you on your toes today.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Keep an eye on your possessions and your money because some unpredictable influences are at play today. For example, you might find money or you might lose money. Likewise, be smart and protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. A wise teacher once said, “Trust everyone and always lock your door.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with unpredictable Uranus, which makes you feel independent and self-reliant. You might meet a new friend. One thing is certain: Something unusual will affect your day. Perhaps your spontaneous and original ideas will impress someone?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your psychic abilities are highly tuned today because the Moon is hiding in your chart dancing with your ruler Uranus. This definitely sharpens your antennas. Obviously, this is a good day to trust your intuition and go with your hunches. For example, “If you think something fishy is going on – it is.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is an interesting day because you’re bound to encounter interesting people. New friends, especially people who are different or unusual in some way, might come into your world. If you are dealing with a group or an organization, someone might have a forward-thinking idea. Be ready to listen.

The overdeveloped spiral arm of the galaxy NGC 772, which was created by tidal interactions with an unruly neighbor, dominates this observation made by astronomers using the Gemini North telescope located near the summit of Maunakea in Hawai‘i.

Explanation: Peculiar spiral galaxy Arp 78 is found within the boundaries of the head strong constellation Aries. Some 100 million light-years beyond the stars and nebulae of our Milky Way galaxy, the island universe is over 100,000 light-years across. Also known as NGC 772, it sports a prominent, outer spiral arm in this detailed cosmic portrait from the large Gemini North telescope near the summit of Maunakea, Hawaii, planet Earth. Tracking along sweeping dust lanes and lined with young blue star clusters, Arp 78’s spiral arm is likely pumped-up by galactic-scale gravitational tidal interactions The close companion galaxy responsible is NGC 770, located off the upper right of this frame. But more distant background galaxies are clearly visible in the cosmic field of view.

Smells like witch spirit: How the ancient world’s scented sorceresses influence ideas about magic today

Most perfume ads suggest that the right scent can make you sexy, alluring and successful. A blend by Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs, meanwhile, offers to make you smell like Hecate, the three-faced Greek goddess of witchcraft.

As a classics scholar who studies both magic and the senses in the ancient world, this idea of a witch-inspired perfume fascinates me – and “Hecate” is just one of many magic-inspired fragrances available today.

What does a witch smell like, and why would you deliberately perfume yourself like one?

Smells are impossible to see or touch, yet they affect us emotionally and even physically. That’s similar to how many people think of magic, and cultures around the world have connected the two. My current research is focused on how magic and scent were linked in ancient Rome and Greece, ideas that continue to shape views of witches in the West today.

Greeks and Romans of all walks of life believed in magic and used spells ranging from curses to healing magic and garden charms. Magical handbooks from the time show that Greco-Egyptian magicians used fragrance extensively in their rituals, even scented inks, and doctors believed strong-smelling plant species to be more medically effective than others. The gods themselves were thought to smell sweet, and places they touched retained a pleasant odor, making scent a sign of contact with the divine.

Witches wielding perfumes …

A Whale of an Aurora over Swedish Forest

Image Credit & Copyright: Göran Strand

Explanation: What’s that in the sky? An aurora. A large coronal mass ejection occurred on our Sun earlier this month, throwing a cloud of fast-moving electrons, protons, and ions toward the Earth. Part of this cloud impacted our Earth’s magnetosphere and, bolstered by a sudden gap, resulted in spectacular auroras being seen at some high northern latitudes. Featured here is a particularly photogenic auroral corona captured above a forest in Sweden from a scenic perch overlooking the city of Östersund. To some, this shimmering green glow of recombining atmospheric oxygen might appear like a large whale, but feel free to share what it looks like to you. The unusually quiet Sun of the past few years has now passed. As our Sun now approaches a solar maximum in its 11-year solar magnetic cycle, dramatic auroras like this are sure to continue.
