The Star-Spangled Banner Song’s History

“The Star-Spangled Banner” is the national anthem of the United States. By the time the song officially became the country’s anthem in 1931, it had been one of America’s most popular patriotic tunes for more than a century. The anthem’s history began the morning of September 14, 1814, when an attorney and amateur poet named Francis Scott Key watched U.S. soldiers—who were under bombardment from British naval forces during the War of 1812—raise a large American flag over Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland.

Moon Alert

After 8 AM EDT today (5 AM PDT), there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The New Moon occurs in Cancer at 10:52 PM EDT (7:52 PM PDT).

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is the perfect time to make resolutions about how to improve your home and your family relationships. It will be easy to do this because you are in such a positive frame of mind today. Enjoy the company of relatives, siblings and neighbours.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

We are gregarious creatures. “No man is an island.” The New Moon today is the ideal time to think about how you communicate to others. Are you clear in all your communications? Meanwhile, this is a great day for business, finance and boosting your income. Ka-ching!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Use today’s New Moon to resolve how to better handle your money and your possessions. If you think money is dirty, you won’t hang on to it. Money is energy. Meanwhile because this is a popular day for you, you shine in group situations!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is the perfect day to take a realistic look in the mirror to see how you can improve the image you create on your world. Ideas? Haircut? Wardrobe change? Enjoy a moment of solitude if you can find it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today’s New Moon makes you feel in touch with your spiritual values. We all believe in something. Even if we believe that we don’t believe in anything. That’s what we believe. Enjoy group interactions and hanging out with friends, especially creative, artistic people.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is the best day of the year to think about the friendships you have or don’t have; and what kind of friend you are to others. The bottom line is if you want to have friends, you have to be friendly! Today you impress bosses and VIPs.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today is the only New Moon that is at the top of your chart all year. This means it’s time to think about your life direction. Are you headed where you want to go? Where do you want to be in five years? Travel has a strong appeal.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Take a moment to make some resolutions about how to expand your world. Can you travel? Can you take courses or get further education to enrich your life? What can you do to feel more fulfilled? Meanwhile, gifts and wealth might come your way.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today is a wonderful opportunity to set intentions about debt, inheritances and anything that involves jointly-owned property. How can you clean up loose details? How can you resolve things so that you are happy with the result?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today’s New Moon is opposite your sign. (This happens only once a year.) This is an ideal chance to see how you can improve your closest relationships, partnerships or friendships. This is important. These relationships affect your happiness — therefore, make them work.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This might be the best day of the year to take a moment and make a resolution about how to improve your efficiency in whatever you do. By extension, how can you improve your health as well? What can you do to really pull your act together? Meanwhile, romance and social opportunities delight!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

A healthy balance between work, play and creative expression is ideal. We are a work-oriented society. If our creative talents don’t earn money, they are dismissed. Today’s New Moon is the perfect time to ask yourself what makes you happy? (This is also a great day to entertain at home.) Invite someone over!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Director, actor Mel Brooks (1926) shares your birthday today. You are witty, sociable and you know how to please others. You are an ambitious go-getter because you like to succeed because you don’t want to fail. This year construction will be your theme. You might physically build something or you might build an inner structure in your life. You can accomplish a lot.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon.

This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you will make the first move if you want to talk to someone because the Moon is in your sign lined up with your ruler Mars. This makes you proactive, enthusiastic and confident! Meanwhile, Venus will sweeten your words and make you popular.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You have been nursing moneymaking ideas and some potential major purchases. (You love beautiful things, especially antiques.) Today, you might decide to take action and go after what you want. (Someone or something behind the scenes will prompt you.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Now both Mercury (your ruler) and fair Venus are in your sign. This means your words are golden! You are eager to talk to others, and they will listen because you will be charming and diplomatic with everyone. Small wonder, that this is such a popular time for you!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

With the Sun in your sign now, you’re empowered. (Remember: This happens only once a year for four weeks.) In addition, a gaggle of planets at the top of your chart makes you look attractive to people in power. You have their attention. Use this!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have a strong urge to do something different because you need a change of scenery. “Time to get outta Dodge!” Explore travel opportunities. Don’t hesitate to explore other opportunities in publishing, the media, the law or medicine. Enjoy schmoozing with younger, creative people.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

In discussions about inheritances, shared property, insurance issues or banking matters, you will come out on top today. For starters, this is a popular time for you; secondly, with Mercury and Venus at the top of your chart, you have the upper hand.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Yesterday the Sun moved to the top of your chart where it will stay for the next four weeks, which gives you an enormous advantage when dealing with others. (You’ll look good, even if you don’t do anything special.) Today, someone might oppose you. Be diplomatic and keep smiling. You’ve got this.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Hard work and focus will allow you to accomplish a lot today because both the Moon and fiery Mars are lined up in your House of Employment. Expect results and you will get them. Financial discussions will go your way. A good day to make travel plans.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Social outings, sports events and playful activities with children are tops on your menu today. Basically, you want to have fun, especially being active (preferably physically active). Get out and do something. Warm conversations with someone close to you will boost this day.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be cooperative today. In fact, if you can, take a nap. (You will need more sleep in the next few weeks.) Today you have the energy to make big changes at home, perhaps domestic improvements. These changes might come about through a family discussion or because everyone pitches in and gets the job done.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re convincing today! This is because you’re prepared to put a lot of yourself into whatever you have to say. Since you are a networker extraordinaire, you will put out your feelers and stay in touch with your trap line to get things done. Good day to party!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Although the next few weeks are a playful time for you, today is a strong money day for you. You have strong feelings about a particular issue, which means you are going to press your advantage. And of course, with lucky, moneybags Jupiter in your House of Earnings – you have an advantage!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer, songwriter Cyndi Lauper (1953) shares your birthday today. People born in this day are very talented and accomplished in wide varieties and many walks of life. No matter what you do, you are persevering and you are a perfectionist. This is an enjoyable year for you because it involves learning and teaching both things that you love to do.
