August 10, 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

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.

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today the Sun is in a playful part of your chart; plus, it’s in your fellow Fire sign. (We like.) In addition, lucky Jupiter is in your sign! What’s not to like? Flash message: Today people are aware of personal details about your private life.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Your focus on home and family continues. Fortunately, you have the energy to make things happen because fiery Mars is in your sign. Today you want to shake things up a little, which is why you will welcome a chance to break free of your routine.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a busy, fast-paced week. Enjoy home repairs and family discussions. When it comes to buying beautiful things or making financial negotiations, give everything a sober, second thought because you might be blinded by your desire.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the Moon is opposite your sign, which happens for two days every month. When this occurs, you have to go more than half way when dealing with others. This simply requires cooperation and agreement. No biggie.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Although you are empowered with the Sun in your sign and Mars at the top of your chart, today you might have to work on behalf of someone else or perform a service for someone. This means you will likely have to put your own interests second to the needs and wants of someone else.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

With Mercury in your sign, you are eager to talk to others and share your point of view about things. However, because the Sun in your chart is “hiding”, you might prefer to do your communications from behind the scenes or on social media rather than face-to-face.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a popular week for you. However, today you prefer having a chance to relax at home among familiar surroundings. You might be involved with a female family member. Or perhaps, you will savour your solitude and think about memories from the past.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The Sun is at the top of your chart, casting you in a flattering spotlight so you look good to others, especially bosses, parents and VIPs. You might be more involved with younger people right now. Travel for pleasure appeals. Today you want a heart-to-heart talk to someone.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Financial matters and issues related to taking care of what you own might be on your mind today. Because you have a strong desire to travel, you might be figuring out what you can afford to do. (Happiness is having alternatives.) Fortunately, you’re in the mood to work hard and party hard!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which occurs for about 2 1/2 days every month. When this happens, two things occur: almost certainly, your emotions will become heightened. Secondly, your good luck will slightly improve. Why not ask the universe for a favour? (See what happens.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today the Moon is “hiding” in your chart, which will make you feel more reclusive than usual. In other words, you might want to hide or keep a low profile. Relations with coworkers are solid and supportive; however, relations with partners might be a tad challenging. Oops.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

A personal or confidential conversation with a female acquaintance will take place for many of you today. Whatever happens might cause you to slightly change your future goals. (Or it might be a major change?) Your ruler Neptune is in your sign until 2025, and this makes planning a bit confusing.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Gillian Anderson (1968) shares your birthday today. You are energetic, compassionate and determined. Once you have an idea, you run with it. You are hard-working, responsible and capable of taking care of others. This year is a year of change, which is why you need to be flexible so that you are open to new opportunities and ready to move in new directions.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 6:30 AM to 3 PM EDT today (3:30 AM to 12 noon PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Tread carefully today because the Moon is very high in your chart, which calls attention to you no matter where you are or what you’re doing. Meanwhile, there is a Moon Alert today (see above), which means you might feel compelled to make a decision that you later regret. Caution! (Don’t end up with egg on your face.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a tricky day because you probably want your way. You might even try to coerce someone to agree with you. However, this morning (and later depending on where you live) there is a Moon Alert, which means everything is up for grabs. Lighten up! Just coast until the alert is over.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Do be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert (see above) because you might have strong feelings about financial issues, including shopping. Instead, you need to show restraint. (During the alert.) When it comes to your money and possessions, don’t do anything you will later regret.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You feel passionately about things today. No question. However, during the Moon Alert (see above), pull in your reins and just tread water. Wait until the alert is over before you push for what you want. Be smart. (You’ll be glad you did.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

With the Sun in your sign and Mars high in your chart, you’re confident and ready to act. Nevertheless, check with the restrictions of today’s Moon Alert (see above). Be smart and do nothing important during that time; and don’t volunteer for anything during the alert.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Relations with friends and members of groups will be intense today. (This especially will include your interactions with artistic, creative people.) Do be aware of the Moon Alert today (see above). Refrain from pushing your agenda during that time.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Relations with bosses and parents will be intense today. You might use this to your advantage, or perhaps this intensity will lead to difficulties? Either way, be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert today, and avoid important decisions during that time. Play it safe.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a poor day to convince others to agree with your ideas. Likewise, until the Moon Alert is over today, do not be swayed by what others say, especially regarding politics, religion or racial issues. After the Moon Alert is over – you will know what to do.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Do be aware of the restrictions of today’s Moon Alert, especially if you are discussing financial matters, wills, inheritances and anything to do with shared property. Make no important decisions during that time. Wait until the alert is over to act.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Conversations with partners and close friends will be intense today. In fact, you might encounter a power struggle. During the Moon Alert (see above) postpone decisions and don’t agree to anything important. Wait until the alert is over before you agree to anything.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Issues with coworkers might be intense today. Someone might try to persuade you to follow their wishes. A work-related romance might be difficult. Meanwhile, be aware of the restrictions of today’s Moon Alert. Don’t volunteer for anything during the alert.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Parents will find that relations with kids are intense today. Likewise, romantic relationships are also potentially volatile. Make no important decisions during the Moon Alert (see above) However, the Moon Alert is an excellent time for creative activity and working in the arts.

Many of you are workaholics. This year you are building something either tangible in a physical sense, or an inner structure in your life. Physical exercise is important this year.

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Although this is a pleasant day at home, especially entertaining others; nevertheless, you might feel restricted financially. Or perhaps something that you own will create some challenges? Fortunately, this is nothing you cannot handle.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Tread carefully today. The good news is relations with others are warm and friendly. People are mutually sympathetic. However, the bad news is that someone in authority (a parent, boss or police person?) might rain on your parade or make things difficult for you. Be patient and polite.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a favourable day for financial matters. If shopping, you will be inclined to buy beautiful, luxurious items. Meanwhile, something going on behind the scenes could be problematic. Do be aware of this. If something looks like it could be a problem – don’t dismiss it. Look at it.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today is a mixed bag; but on the whole, it’s a pleasant, positive day. Nevertheless, you might find that a friend or a group will not go along with your ideas. Someone might even say something that confirms your worst suspicions about yourself. Don’t listen to this! Phffft!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You feel happy and content with your world today, which is why this can be a lovely day for you. However, someone in a position of authority might get under your skin or get in the way of something that you want to do. Go with the flow and accommodate this as well as you can. It is what it is.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a mellow day. In particular, it’s a warm day dealing with friends and members of groups. However, travel plans could be difficult. Possibly, rules and regulations or something in the news or the media will hold you back or prevent you from doing something you want.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You look good to others today! People admire you, especially people in authority. This might help you if you have disputes about shared property or shared responsibilities when dealing with others. Someone you encounter might be stubborn. (Bummer.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Tread carefully because someone close to you might try to block your plans today. Perhaps they just want to do something different? Perhaps they don’t agree with your ideas? Meanwhile, opportunities to travel for pleasure exist. Could this be the escape you need?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today the Moon is in your sign; furthermore, the position of Venus can attract benefits, favours and even money to you. (Yay, we like!) However, those of you at work might encounter resistance to your ideas. Therefore, proceed slowly and cautiously before you do any task. Believe in yourself.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Fair Venus opposite your sign guarantees warm relations with spouses, partners and friends now. (This feels good!) However, romantic relationships, sports events and dealings with children might create some challenges. Oh well, nothing is perfect. Cope as best you can.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

In order to keep the peace, be patient with family members today, especially authority figures because they might be grumpy or critical of you. In turn, this might mean that you are quietly angered but feel you can’t speak up. Escape. Do something different. Get away from this.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Don’t be pushy or coercive when dealing with others today because you might be tempted to do so, especially if you have the law on your side. A sense of authority might embolden you to be rude or critical. Why do this? Life is easier when you get along with everyone.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Co-founder of Wikipedia Jimmy Wales (1966) shares your birthday today. Justice and fair play are important to you because you have ethical values. You are generous and benevolent to others. You are also entertaining and friendly! This year it’s time to enjoy life! Seek opportunities to entertain and socialize with others. Find ways to express your creativity. Get in touch with old friends.

Wheel of the Year: The 8 Wiccan Holiday Festivals

For the Northern Hemisphere

For the Southern Hemisphere

In Wicca, we make it a point to honor both feminine and masculine energies, lunar and solar cycles. When we’re practicing our craft according to the lunar cycles, we honor the Moon Goddess with esbats. However, we also have eight solar festivals throughout the year, which are represented by the Wiccan Wheel of the Year.

The Wheel of the Year is a physical representation of the eight pagan festivals that celebrate nature’s life cycles. These eight Sabbats include four solar events — two solstices and two equinoxes — and four cross-quarter events. But how did this calendar come about in the first place?

The Origin of the Wheel of the Year Calendar

Many historians postulate that ancient pagans marked the passing of time by celebrating certain solar events. On top of that, some of their celebrations were a way to mark events that had agricultural significance. Even so, we can’t say that the seasonal festivals we’re about to discuss ever existed in their current forms. So how did we get to the Wheel of the Year we observe today?

Well, believe it or not, the Wiccan Sabbats are a result of decades, if not centuries, of modern interpretations of ancient rites. In fact, some pretty famous scholars unknowingly participated in the…

August 7, 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

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

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on August 7 has an illumination of 72%. 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 August 7 the Moon is 9.56 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.

The 8 Lunar Phases

There are 8 lunar phases the Moon goes through in its 29.53 days lunar cycle. The 4 major Moon phases are Full Moon, New Moon, First Quarter and Last Quarter. Between these major phases, there are 4 minor ones: the Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous and Waning Crescent. For more info on the Moon Cycle and on each phase check out Wikipedia Lunar Phase page.
