Halloween and the Ghost Head Nebula

Explanation: Halloween’s origin is ancient and astronomical. Since the fifth century BC, Halloween has been celebrated as a cross-quarter day, a day halfway between an equinox (equal day / equal night) and a solstice (minimum day / maximum night in the northern hemisphere). With a modern calendar however, even though Halloween occurs next week, the real cross-quarter day will occur the week after. Another cross-quarter day is Groundhog Day. Halloween’s modern celebration retains historic roots in dressing to scare away the spirits of the dead. Perhaps a fitting tribute to this ancient holiday is this view of the Ghost Head Nebula taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. Similar to the icon of a fictional ghost, NGC 2080 is actually a star forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way Galaxy. The Ghost Head Nebula (NGC 2080) spans about 50 light-years and is shown in representative colors.

Jupiter Rotates

Video Credit & Copyright: JL Dauvergne; Music: Oro Aqua (Benoit Reeves)

Explanation: Observe the graceful twirl of our Solar System’s largest planet. Many interesting features of Jupiter’s enigmatic atmosphere, including dark belts and light zones, can be followed in detail. A careful inspection will reveal that different cloud layers rotate at slightly different speeds. The famous Great Red Spot is not visible at first — but soon rotates into view. Other smaller storm systems occasionally appear. As large as Jupiter is, it rotates in only 10 hours. Our small Earth, by comparison, takes 24 hours to complete a spin cycle. The featured high-resolution time-lapse video was captured over five nights earlier this month by a mid-sized telescope on an apartment balcony in Paris, France. Since hydrogen and helium gas are colorless, and those elements compose most of Jupiter’s expansive atmosphere, what trace elements create the observed colors of Jupiter’s clouds remains a topic of research.

Ancient Roman God Terminus

Terminus

From Pantheon.org – For Sources and References Roman God Terminus

“Border.” A Roman divinity presiding over boundaries and frontiers. His worship is said to have been instituted by Numa who ordered that every one should mark the boundaries of his landed property by stones to be consecrated to Jupiter (Ζεὺς ὅριος), and at which every year sacrifices were to be offered at the festival of the Terminalia.1 These sacred boundaries existed not only in regard to private property, but also in regard to the state itself, the boundary of which was not to be transgressed by any foreign foe. But in later times the latter must have fallen into oblivion, while the termini of private property retained their sacred character even in the days of Dionysius, who states that sacrifices of cakes, meal, and fruit (for it was unlawful to stain the boundary stones with blood), still continued to be offered.

The god Terminus himself appears to have been no other than Jupiter himself, in the capacity of the protector of boundaries.2 The Terminus of the Roman state originally stood between the fifth and sixth milestone on the road towards Laurentum, near a place called Festi, and that ancient/boundary of the Ager Romanus (“the field of Rome“) continued to be revered with the same ceremonies as the boundaries of private estates.3 Another public Terminus stood in the temple of Jupiter in the Capitol, and above it there was an opening in the roof, because no Terminus was allowed to be under cover.4 This is another proof that Terminus was only an attribute of Jupiter, although tradition gave a different reason for this circumstance; for when that temple was to be founded, and it was necessary to exaugurate other sanctuaries standing on the same site, all the gods readily gave way to Jupiter and Juno, but the auguries would not allow the sanctuaries of Terminus and Juventas to be removed. This was taken as an omen that the Roman state would remain ever undiminished and young, and the chapels of the two divinities were inclosed within the walls of the new temple. Here we may ask, what had a Terminus to do on the Capitol, unless he was connected or identical with Jupiter?

Scorpio Horoscope for 2021

(I should have started this with Capricorn on January 1st, 2021 as most people follow the Gregorian calendar. But there are many of us who walk a pagan path the follow the Wheel of The Year and celebrate the new year October 31st through November 1st. Which Makes Scorpio the first accepted zodiac sign of the year. Personally I follow the 13 Zodiac Signs to go with the 13 months of the Celtic Tree Calendar.

Scorpio 2021 Horoscope – A Look At The Year Ahead

The Scorpio 2021 horoscope advises discretion, which can sometimes be difficult for Scorpios to manage. Keep your romantic relationships on the down-low. Keep information about your work and finances to yourself as well. Being too social about these things may put them in jeopardy. So, try to live this year coyly; doing so will lead you to success.

Scorpio 2021 Love Predictions

The love prediction for Scorpio in 2021 suggests a major change in your romantic relationship. If you are already dating someone, then this might be the perfect year for you to become engaged. It is best to propose between

mid-April and the first week of May, when Venus is in Taurus.

If engagement is not on your mind, then it is other big questions that will rear their head in your relationship. Is it the right time to have a baby? If you are single, should you try to begin a romantic relationship? If you are in a relationship, is it time to break up? Consider these questions early on in the year. By autumn, Mars in Capricorn will let you know what to do.

A Thought for Today

Dear Sisters, Brothers, and Honored Guests today I leave you with this thought…

One thing I would like to add to Frank Lloyd Wright’s quote is

Anywhere you go the forests, water ways, or a walk around your block take a bag with you for trash. As Pagans, which first meant peasant but as evolve to mean people who follow nature’s spiritual paths, it is our duty to pick up what others were to lazy to dispose of properly. I started out doing this on my own as my children grew old enough to take a walk outside with me and than doing the same with my grandchildren. Who passed it on to their playmates and still do it even with some of my grandchildren being over 20, a couple in college, and the others starting in grammar or pre-school. So I ask you not to think of Earth Day is only on April 22 but as it being every day of the week.

Blessed be dear ones.

Ancient Rome A superstitious Society

From HistoryCooperative.org – To read the rest of the article about Omens and Superstations

A superstitious Society

Compare to modern society, the Romans seem extremely superstitious. But then today’s major religions have all throughout their past discouraged, even combatted, superstitions. Also our sciences and our technological world allows little room for superstition.

The Romans lived in an era previous to this. Their world was full of unexplained phenomena, darkness and fear. To Romans these superstitions were a perfectly natural part in the relationship between gods and men.

The Roman habit of interpreting natural phenomena as signs from the beyond stemmed from the Etruscans. The Etruscans, who developed reading omens and auspices into a form of science, knew different means of divination. In their beliefs the signs they read were sent to them by a mythical boy called Tages, who in their mythology was to have been ploughed up from the earth.

They would seek to read the future by examining the entrails of sacrificial animals, the liver being of special importance for that purpose. They would observe lighting and interpret its meanings. And they would try and put meaning to any unusual phenomena which occured.

The belief that objects, or living beings could possess special spiritual properties was widespread in primitive societies. The Romans were no strangers to this idea. Stones, trees, springs, caves, lakes, swamps, mountains – even animals and furniture – were all deemed to be hosts to spirits (numina). Stones in particular were often seen to contain spirits, especially if they were boundary stones, dividing one man’s property from the other.

It is very telling that the Latin word for such a boundary is terminus and that there actually was a Roman god called Terminus. This odd deity took the form of a huge piece of rock which rested in the temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill. Apparently several attempts to move the bolder when…

All Signs

The Sun is the energy source of the solar system, and likewise, it is also the energy source of the horoscope. When the Sun changes signs each month, it energizes a different part of our chart. This is why sometimes, we’re keen to do home improvements and redecorating projects, and at other times, we can barely sweep the kitchen floor. The Sun energizes everything — from jogging to taking a nap. Speaking of which, Yogi Berra said, “I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four.” And one time, when a bunch of naked people ran across the ballfield, he said, “I don’t know if they were men or women fans cuz they had bags over their heads.”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are high-energy, active and competitive. (You hate to lose.) Believe it or not, for the next four weeks, you will be even more high-energy and more passionate! (I kid you not.) This passion will apply to your sex drive as well as every aspect of your life. Issues will be more black and white. You will be “for” something or “against” it. You will have strong opinions that you insist on defending, especially anything related to shared property, shared ownership and shared responsibilities. You might dispute an inheritance or your fair share of something. The good news is you will also have a strong desire to be the best that you can be. This is great! You like to be the best that you can be.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

For the next four weeks, the Sun will be opposite your sign. (This occurs only once a year.) It will pose the question: How well are you doing at the art of living? (Especially since your birthday.) What were your goals for this year and how are they unfolding? Because the Sun is opposite your sign, you will have more focus on your partner or a close friend. You will also have more objectivity, which will help you see your style of relating to those who are closest to you because the Sun will cast “a light” on these relationships. This will help you see how you can improve your style of relating to others. Hey, this is a gift! Knowing how to relate to others is one of the most important skills in life.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This week as the Sun changes signs, it will make you want to be efficient, effective and productive in the following four weeks. You will set high standards for yourself, which will include other aspects of your life as well. For example, you might explore exercise, dance classes or an improved diet because you want to be healthier. (Excellent choices.) All of this is because you sense that this is the time to pull your act together. Many of you will also become more involved with a pet. Meanwhile, relations with partners and close friends will be cozy and supportive, which is a lovely influence. Enjoy fun times with loved ones.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Different parts of our chart describe different aspects of our lives. Some parts focus on career, some focus on home and family. But there is one part of our chart that represents fun, pleasure, romance, creativity and having a good time! And this is exactly where the Sun will shine for you for the next four weeks! It will give you the freedom to express yourself and be who you are. Amusing diversions, parties, sports events and social outings will be your first priority. You will feel lighter and happier! Romance will be more fun-loving. You might be more involved with children. It’s the perfect time for a vacation. Enjoy your good fortune!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week as the Sun changes signs, it will draw your focus to home, family and your private life. You’ll be happy to cocoon at home and enjoy the privacy and comfort of familiar surroundings. You might be more involved with family, especially a parent. You will enjoy solitude and time by yourself. This increased focus on home and family will also trigger memories of the past for you. Because of this, the next four weeks are the perfect time to confide in another person, perhaps a professional counsellor or someone who can help you to do some self-evaluation. It will be a pleasant time with rich benefits.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The pace of your days will accelerate in the next four weeks because the Sun is changing signs. Suddenly, you have things to do, places to go and people to see! You will be more involved with friends, neighbours, siblings and relatives. It will be an excellent time to take short trips and enjoy a busy schedule of appointments and errands. During this window of a faster, busier pace, you will read, write and study more than usual as well. In fact, the next four weeks are an excellent time to take up a new study or learn a new skill. You will also feel comfortable telling someone your views and ideas about something important.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

When the Sun changes signs this week, it will draw your attention to earnings, cash flow and financial matters for the next four weeks. You might look for a better paying job or ways to make money on the side. You will be more interested in your earnings and assets. You will have a stronger focus on your own possessions – maintaining them, cleaning them and storing them. Likewise, many of you will shop for beautiful things. When you buy beautiful things, it is not as frivolous as some might think because you are the one sign in the zodiac who is strongly affected by your immediate environment. Colours, smells, lighting and furnishings literally uplift you or vice versa.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This week the Sun enters your sign where it will stay for the next four weeks. This happens only once a year and when it occurs, it’s a blessing for you! The Sun is your source of energy. Therefore, this is now your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year! Furthermore, the Sun will attract favourable situations to you as well as important people. Obviously, this means the next four weeks are a time of opportunity for you, so make the most of it! Meanwhile, Venus will attract money to you and encourage you to buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. Ka-ching!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

In the next four weeks, the Sun will be hiding in the wings as your personal year draws to an end, and before your new personal year is ready to begin. Therefore, this four-week interval is a bit like a time of limbo for you. It’s the perfect time to seek out some solitude so that you can reflect and think about where you have been and where you want to go. What do you want for yourself in your new year ahead? This is the perfect time to set some goals because goals give you focus, they define your direction, and they certainly make future decision-making easier. Think about this.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your popularity will increase in the next four weeks because you will be more interested in friends and more involved in groups, clubs and organizations. Because of this, it’s the best time of year for you to examine friendships and your relationships to groups to see what role they play in your life. There is no question that the people you hang out with influence your mind; and in turn, your mind is what makes the decisions that creates your future. (Think about this because what is true of your friends is also true of you, for the most part.) It’s important to establish who you really are and be yourself without fear or apology. This is the true freedom.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re entering a favourable four-week window where the Sun is at the top of your chart. (This is the only time all year this happens.) It symbolizes that the Sun is shining down on you and casting you in a spotlight that is flattering to you. What this means is that without doing anything special on your part, you will impress everyone, especially bosses, parents, VIPs and teachers! Since this is almost like a blessing from a “magic wand” – make the most of it! The next four weeks are the best time for you to make your pitch and do what you can to advance your agenda. Because people are impressed with you, they will be receptive to your ideas.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your desire to travel and explore more of the world will be very strong in the next four weeks. You will want to break free of routine and do something exciting! You want to learn more about your world. In fact, this is an excellent time to take a course or study at school. It’s also a wonderful time to explore writing and opportunities in medicine, the law, publishing and the media. Be open to making even the most trivial encounter a positive learning experience. Be ready to learn about exotic subjects that are metaphysical, religious or spiritual, perhaps mind-expanding explorations. Some might be involved with the law directly or indirectly. It’s an exciting time ahead!

3D Bennu

Image Credit: NASA, GSFC, U. Arizona – Stereo Image Copyright: Patrick Vantuyne

Explanation: Put on your red/blue glasses and float next to asteroid 101955 Bennu. Shaped like a spinning toy top with boulders littering its rough surface, the tiny Solar System world is about one Empire State Building (less than 500 meters) across. Frames used to construct this 3D anaglyph were taken by PolyCam on the OSIRIS_REx spacecraft on December 3, 2018 from a distance of about 80 kilometers. With a sample from the asteroid’s rocky surface on board, OSIRIS_REx departed Bennu’s vicinity this May and is now enroute to planet Earth. The robotic spacecraft is scheduled to return the sample to Earth in September 2023.

I am Sorry for the Lack of Usual Post

So, I got a refurbished laptop and within a month it had a major problem. It went into sleep mode and would not come out of it. Yesterday WISH online shopping finally sent me the label to send it back. I went last evening and got it started on it way back to WISH. Which left me with either my desktop computer, which I can only sit at for about an hour until my back pain is so bad I have to lay down, or my Kindle tablet which takes me twice as long to post through. My wonderful fiancée took me to Rent-A-Center where he had coupons for a nice reduction in price for a brand new laptop, which I am using now. When we got home with it last evening I could not get on to use it. So, I put it aside very frustrated but I must have done something right because I did not have to take it back to the store to be able to use my own account on it. But as I was having a horrible morning I did not pick this laptop up to try to get on to it again until about 15 minutes ago and now here we are.

Now I have to take this one back because the Delete key doesn’t work. I give up for today. Looks like I will only be doing the daily and birthday horoscopes later today.

Justice Spell

This is a gray magic spell. The intention of this spell is the person it is being cast on is for them to only suffer as much as you suffered. It is not done to cause any permanent damage to the person on the receiving end of it unless they caused permanent damage to the person casting it.

Be very careful if you write this type of spell that it does not cross over to being a black magick spell. Remember the Threefold Law a.k.a. The Law of Three. Another thing to remember is the Wicce Rede “Do as ye will, lest it harm none”

Justice Spell

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

A Piece of Paper 2 inch/5 cm by 2 inches/5 cm

A RED pen or pencil

A small jar with lid (like from baby food)

Crushed Egg Shells or Black Salt (enough to fill the jar with the piece of paper inside)

Candle – Whatever color you feel you should use to seal the lid onto the jar

Prepare the Jar for the Spell:

Write the persons full name onto the piece of paper as you think about the wrongs they have done to you then fold it in 3. Keeping thinking of your intention for the person to suffer only as much as what they did to you. Pour half of the egg shells or black salt into the jar, place the paper in the jar and pour the rest of the crushed egg shells or black salt over it, stop when the jar is full to just under the lid.

THE SPELL:

Remember to keep your intention in the fore front of your mind as you say the spell at 3 times. The more you repeat it the stronger it will be but be careful so it does not do more to the person than they did to you or you may wind up feeling everything done to you again.

May (Name Of person) feel, what I felt.

May what (Name of person) did to me,

go back to (Name of person) just as strong as (Name of person) did to me.

May this spell tighten around (Name of person) like a belt.

End the spell whatever way you usually end any spell after you have repeated this spell

SH2-308: The Dolphin-Head Nebula

Image Credit & Copyright: Nik Szymanek

Explanation: Blown by fast winds from a hot, massive star, this cosmic bubble is huge. Cataloged as Sharpless 2-308 it lies some 5,000 light-years away toward the constellation of the Big Dog (Canis Major) and covers slightly more of the sky than a Full Moon. That corresponds to a diameter of 60 light-years at its estimated distance. The massive star that created the bubble, a Wolf-Rayet star, is the bright one near the center of the nebula. Wolf-Rayet stars have over 20 times the mass of the Sun and are thought to be in a brief, pre-supernova phase of massive star evolution. Fast winds from this Wolf-Rayet star create the bubble-shaped nebula as they sweep up slower moving material from an earlier phase of evolution. The windblown nebula has an age of about 70,000 years. Relatively faint emission captured by narrowband filters in the deep image is dominated by the glow of ionized oxygen atoms mapped to a blue hue. Presenting a mostly harmless outline, SH2-308 is also known as The Dolphin-head Nebula.

Moon Alert

Today the Full Moon in Aries peaks at 10:57 AM EDT (7:57 AM PDT). Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 10:30 AM to 4:15 PM EDT today (7:30 AM to 1:15 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Aries into Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be patient dealing with others today because everyone has a short fuse, including you. That makes this the classic day for friction and thoughtless comments and retorts. Fortunately, after the Moon Alert is over, life get mellow. Mellow is better.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Something might be going on behind the scenes or building up within you at a subconscious level that makes you easily irritated with others. (Perhaps they are irritating?) Bite your tongue and let this slide because once the Moon Alert is over today, you will feel happier.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Expect difficulties dealing with friends and groups today, especially female acquaintances, because the Moon is at odds with several planets. However, after the Moon Alert is over today, the Moon will be in a new sign and you will feel a big shift.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a poor day to challenge parents, bosses and authority figures (including the police). Don’t even go there. If you argue with someone in power, it could be nasty. After the Moon Alert is over, life is much easier! Then you can ask for permission or approval. (And probably get it.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Steer clear of controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today because they will be intense and nasty. Nothing will be resolved. (There are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones.) After the Moon Alert, you will be noticed.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Steer clear of disputes about shared property, inheritances and insurance issues today until after the Moon Alert is over. Then you might be surprised at how easy it is to explore new ideas and put a new spin on things. Sweet!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you need to cooperate and be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This means you have to avoid dissension and arguments. However, after the Moon Alert is over, everything will be more relaxed and supportive. Note to self: Be patient.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Avoid arguments about health issues, pets or anything related to your job or your work today. These might easily arise. The fact is it will be pointless to pursue them. (Trust me.) However, after the Moon Alert is over, you will establish an understanding by cooperating with someone.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Lovers’ spats, quarrels about kids and intense debates related to sports or social plans might take place today. Definitely no fun. Therefore, be patient and bite your tongue. After the Moon Alert is over, you will be happier and ready to get things done.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Avoid quarrels with authority figures, bosses, parents, teachers and the police today. Likewise, steer clear of domestic friction because this will accomplish nothing and simply make everyone miserable. After the Moon Alert is over, it’s a lovely day for your sign.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might be argumentative today when talking to daily contacts, siblings and relatives. Be careful because this could trigger an accident-prone situation, especially driving. After the Moon Alert is over, you will enjoy mellow times at home or with family members.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Financial difficulties might arise today. Take note of the Moon Alert and restrict spending to food and gas. However, once the Moon Alert is over, it’s all systems go for your sign. Plus, you will be eager and happy to talk to others because you have something to say.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor John Krasinski (1979) shares your birthday today. You are fun-loving and upbeat. You have a genuine quality about you that makes people trust you. People gravitate to you because you are friendly, compassionate and fair-minded. This is a powerful year! Expect a promotion, an award or kudos for your efforts. You are certainly getting the recognition you deserve. This spotlight is on you now!

IF YOU ARE BORN ON OCTOBER 20, your birthday falls in the cusp of Libra and Scorpio. You are smart with a lot of potential to be even greater. You are attractive, sexy, graceful and occasionally, can even be cynical. Your emotions run high and you can be a powerful force that’s hard to handle.

If today October 20th is your birthday, you are quite a character. These Librans may have the best or worst of both worlds.
