What are Angel Numbers?

Have you been seeing a repeated sequence of numbers in your life lately? These numbers are angel numbers, and you need not ignore them. Angel numbers are number sequences that contain patterns or repetition. These numbers appear in common places, and they tend to capture our attention and leave us wondering what they mean.

Angel Numbers are messages from your guardian angels and the divine realm that offer wisdom and insight into your life. They also offer a sense of direction that your life needs to take. These numbers can shed light upon your life and guide you on the right path. They also let you know about your spiritual life and how best to align your goals with your divine life purpose.

They are also a source of inspiration and motivation from your guardian angels. Your guardian angels will keep sending you angel numbers until you heed their messages. The repeating influence of integers such as 111, 222, 3333, or 4444 has been there since time immemorial; therefore, these numbers play a huge in the numerous occurrences in your life. Angel numbers will always make a lasting impression on your psyche.

Using Your Intuition to Decipher Angel Number Meaning

What is intuition? It is the ability to understand something from instinctive feeling without the need for conscious reasoning. To better work with angel numbers, …

How to Open Your 7 Chakras from SunSigns.org

How To Open Your 7 Chakras?

The 7 Chakras are most essential for the well-being of a person. But they are of no use if they are blocked.

If you wish to know if your chakra is open or closed, take the free chakra test to know more.

Here are few tips to open or balance each of the seven chakras.

Opening The Root Chakra (Muladhara)

First of all, close your eyes and position your hands in such a way that the tip of your thumb touches against the tip of your index finger. After that, you should concentrate on the Root Chakra, which is positioned between the anus and the genital organs. Along with this, you should start chanting the word LAM.

Additionally, what you can also do is to occasionally contract your muscles that lie between your anus and genital organs. Contract these muscles inward while inhaling, and contract them outward while exhaling. This in turn, stimulates the Root Chakra, and gives you inner physical strength. (Get more meditation tips).

Opening The Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana)

To open the Sacral Chakra, you should sit down on the floor and place your hands on your lap, with the palm upwards, so that they lie on top of each other. Your left hand should be placed underneath, and its palm should touch the back of the fingers of the right hand. The tips of the left and right hand thumb fingers should touch gently.

In this position, you should concentrate on trying to open up the Sacral Chakra, which lies on the sacral bone on your lower back. Along with this, you should start chanting the word VAM.

Opening The Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)

In order to open the Solar Plexus Chakra or Navel Chakra, you should start by placing your hands before your stomach, in the region slightly below your solar plexus. After this, you should let all your fingers join at the top, and all of them should be pointing away from yourself. Then, you should cross your thumbs. All this time, it is important to keep your fingers perfectly straight.

In this position, start concentrating on the Navel Chakra, which is located on the spinal region, a little above the navel. Along with this, you should start chanting the word RAM.

Opening The Heart Chakra (Anahata)

In the first instance of opening the Heart chakra, start the whole process by sitting cross-legged, preferably on the floor. Position your hands in such a way that the tip of your thumb touches against the tip of your index finger. After this, place your left hand on your left knee, and your right hand should be placed in front of the lower region of your breastbone, which is just above the solar plexus.

In this position, start concentrating on the Heart Chakra, which is located at the heart region, at the centre of the chest. Along with this, you should start chanting the word YAM.

Opening The Throat Chakra (Vishuddha)

If you feel the Throat Chakra is closed and wish to open it, you should position your hands so that your fingers stay crossed on the inner part of your palms, without the thumbs. At this point of time, allow your thumbs to touch at the top, and slowly pull them slightly upwards.

In this position, you should start concentrating on the Throat Chakra, which is located at the base of a person’s throat. Along with this, you should start chanting the word HAM.

Opening The Third Eye Chakra (Ajna)

If you want to open up the Third Eye Chakra, you should start by sitting down and placing your hands before the lower part of your chest. Your middle fingers should be straight and the tips should touch each other at the top, with them pointing slightly forward. The other fingers should be bent and preferably touch the upper two phalanges. The thumbs should point towards yourself and touch at the tips.

In this position, you should start concentrating on the Third Eye Chakra, which is located slightly above the eyebrows. Along with this, you can either chant the word OM or AUM.

Opening The Crown Chakra (Sahasrara)

To open the Crown Chakra,  start the whole process by placing your hands before your stomach. You should then let the ring fingers of both your hands point upwards, and their tips will touch each other. After that, you should cross the rest of your fingers, with the left thumb placed underneath the right one.

In this position, you should concentrate on the Crown Chakra, which is located at the top of your head. Along with this, you should start chanting the word NG.

Moon Alert

After 12:45 AM EDT today, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The Moon is in Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a good day to look at your feelings and acknowledge them. Don’t ignore them or compartmentalize them somewhere in a mental box. (That’s because whatever you hide from yourself can control you without your being aware of it.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today your emotional contact with friends is important. Perhaps you will have a significant conversation with someone, especially a female friend? In part, this is because you feel more protective and supportive than usual towards others. This is also a good day to examine your goals.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

For some reason, your most intimate and personal life might be on public display more than usual today. (Whaaat?) You find it difficult to hide certain facts about yourself. For example, a public argument with a loved one might occur. Cope as best you can.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you have a strong urge to get away from your daily routine and go off somewhere. Hey, there is more than one way to “get away.” A mental journey, or a chance to learn something new, or meet people from other cultures might appeal. Travel, of course, is ideal. Bon voyage!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your emotional experiences will be more intense than usual today. Ironically, because of this, you will attract people who are unusually intense and powerful to you. (It never rains but it pours.) It’s pretty normal to feel possessive about property or to envy something that someone else owns. Chill out.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today the Moon is in the sign that is opposite from your sign. This makes your attention turn to your most personal relationships — business partners and marriage spouses as well as close friends. Because conflict will be more emotional, guard against knee-jerk reactions. Stay chill.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today might have to perform a service for someone. You will almost certainly have to put your own emotional considerations second to those of someone else. There’s no point in moaning about this because it’s just what’s happening. It is what it is.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a favourable day for you because the Moon is travelling through a part of your chart that urges you to be creative, friendly with others, and eager to enjoy sports plus playful activities with kids. Basically, you want to have fun! Fun is good for the soul.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a busy, fast-paced week for you with short trips and mucho chats with others. That’s why it’s appropriate that today, you stop and take a breath and possibly cocoon at home or seek out some solitude for yourself. A conversation with a female family member could be important.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your interactions with others are personal today. They matter. This is why you want a genuine conversation with someone. You certainly don’t want to sit around getting dusty talking about the weather. You want to get down to the nitty-gritty of something.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today the Moon is travelling through your House of Money, which can make you more easily identify with your possessions or whatever you value. This is why you might suddenly feel a strong attachment to something. (“My precious!”)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which creates a stronger need for you to relate to friends and loved ones. You will be sensitive to the feelings and moods of people around you. Your luck will also be slightly better today. Why not ask the universe for a favour?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Christopher Lambert (1957) shares your birthday today. You are independent, free-spirited and feisty. You have strong family values and a sense of loyalty. You are kind, compassionate and well-liked. This year is more slower paced than last year. It’s time to rest, reflect and focus on relationships. Look for ways to be kind and helpful to others because this will benefit you.

 

March 29, 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 Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. 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.

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

Venus and Mars: Passing in the Night

Image Credit & Copyright: Carlos Kiko Fairbairn

Explanation: When two planets pass on the night sky, they can usually be seen near each other for a week or more. In the case of this planetary conjunction, Venus and Mars passed within 4 degrees of each other earlier this month. The featured image was taken a few days prior, when Venus was slowing rising in the pre-dawn sky, night by night, while Mars was slowly setting. The image, a four-part mosaic, was captured in Brazil from the small town Teresópolis. Besides Venus and Mars, the morning sky now also includes the more distant planet Saturn. Of course, these conjunctions are only angular — Venus, Mars, and Saturn continue to orbit the Sun in very different parts of our Solar System. Next week, the angle between Saturn and Mars will drop to below a quarter of a degree.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions after 10 AM EDT for the rest of the day (from 7 AM to 10 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It’s the beginning of the week, and this is a solid day to think about your future goals. Listen to the advice of someone older or more experienced than you because it could be helpful. Listen to friends and acquaintances you trust and respect.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a favourable day for you because people in authority are open to helping you today. They might help you with direct assistance or guidance or recommendations. (In fact, this positive support will turn into a romantic connection for some.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a wonderful day to study and learn; or finish an important paper or manuscript. Avenues related to publishing, the media, the law and medicine, as well as anything to do with higher education, are definitely favoured. Do the work.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It will be to your advantage today to pursue discussions about taxes, debt, inheritances and shared property. You won’t overlook details. Your mind will be focused in a practical way. In fact, the results of these discussions will favour you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might have a serious discussion with a partner or close friend today, especially about practical matters. Mary Poppins sang, “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.” That is probably what you will experience today. Someone will help you do what is necessary.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This will be an extremely productive day for you! You are ready to work hard, especially related to practical matters. You will achieve a lot because your mind is focused and you will take care of details. But what is sweet, is that you will enjoy doing this work. You’re on board!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Children might be an increased responsibility for some of you today. Likewise, many of you are doing work related to the arts, the entertainment world or social events. In all these cases, you won’t mind doing what is required of you because it will be rewarding.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A discussion with a parent or older family member will go well today. Despite the chaos you might have at home, today you will make headway in reaching a consensus with a family member or making things more pleasant. Likewise, this can be a good day for real-estate negotiations.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are an excellent communicator today! This is fantastic news for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching, acting, editing or writing. Your mind is focused, sharp and yet, your words are nuanced and will be welcomed by others. Oh yeah, you’re in the zone!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Financial decisions will go well today because you have the ability to attract money to you, and you also have the ability to make sensible, practical decisions regarding your personal wealth and your possessions. This is definitely a win-win situation.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today the Moon, Venus, Mars and Saturn are all in your sign, which makes you emotional, focused, charming, independent, and ready for whatever comes your way. Fortunately, this is also your lucky day. Rally your forces and set them marching!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The most important thing that you achieve today will probably be done behind the scenes or in private. You might choose to be secretive or it just might turn out that way because you’re working in the wings. Whatever the case, you will be favoured because Jupiter is giving you divine protection.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress, singer, songwriter Lady Gaga (1985) shares your birthday today. You’re extremely organized, resourceful and creative – a powerful combo! You’re a natural leader, and you know how to use your charm and magnetism to take charge. You will feel a definite change of this year. It’s the first year of a new cycle for you, which means be courageous enough to explore new ideas and avenues. Open any door!

Gems of a Maldivean Night

Image Credit & Copyright: Petr Horálek (ESO Photo AmbassadorInst. of Physics in Opava)

Explanation: The southernmost part of the Milky Way contains not only the stars of the Southern Cross, but the closest star system to our Sun — Alpha Centauri. The Southern Cross itself is topped by the bright, yellowish star Gamma Crucis. A line from Gamma Crucis through the blue star at the bottom of the cross, Acrux, points toward the south celestial pole, located just above the small island in the featured picture — taken in early March. That island is Madivaru of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. Against faint Milky Way starlight, the dark Coal Sack Nebula lies just left of the cross, while farther left along the Milky Way are the bright stars Alpha Centauri (left) and Beta Centauri (Hadar). Alpha Centauri A, a Sun-like star anchoring a three-star system with exoplanets, is a mere 4.3 light-years distant. Seen from Alpha Centauri, our own Sun would be a bright yellowish star in the otherwise recognizable constellation Cassiopeia.

Connect With the Energy of Your Plants

Pagans are often urged to connect with the energy of the plants around them. But how do you do that?

First, get in touch with the plants around you — really in touch. Make it a point to feel the leaves of shrubs at your front door or put your hand on the nearest tree. Calm your mind and ask yourself what you are sensing. Some people describe feeling a low vibration, especially in trees. When you pay attention, you may feel a slight tingle in your arms.

You can also sit near a plant that seem attractive to you as you burn incense of frankincense, rose, and mugwort. All these herbs will help raise your psychic awareness as you extend your mind to the plants on your patio or in your garden. This is something that requires persistence. If you practice, you will soon open your mind to an energy that you can call on to help your magickal work or just to rejuvenate yourself in times of stress.

All Signs

Reality check: Without rationalizing or embroidering the facts, sit down and take a moment to recognize the confusion and angst of the past few weeks because it’s time to move forward. It’s time to do a realistic assessment, and make an action plan. This is the week to formulate strategies and establish goals. Goals are invaluable because they give you a clearer focus on what’s important. They give you more clarity in your decision-making; and they make decision making easier. They give you better control over your future; and they give you a sense of purpose. My goal this week is to get dressed (at least, week days). But something I wonder about. Have people who wear pajamas in public given up on life? Or are they living life to the fullest?

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This week you are goal oriented and articulate. You’re keen to share your ideas and probably boss a few people around. (Hey, somebody’s gotta do it.) You might do some kind of a reassessment about a friend or an acquaintance or someone in the group who is older than you. You might appreciate this person’s advice – or not. That’s your call. You are definitely someone who does not like to be told what to do. You’re an Aries, you’re a warrior, and you need freedom of action! Friday’s New Moon is the perfect time to set goals. It’s the only New Moon in your sign all year, plus it will get energy from your ruler Mars. Don’t miss this opportunity. What do you want to achieve?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Because you’re in a sensible frame of mind, this is a great week for research and some serious soul-searching. Get ready for Friday’s New Moon, which is the perfect time to make serious goals for your future. You’re grounded and in touch with your reality. (You will suffer no fools.) Your ambition is aroused and you want to streamline your efforts and do exactly what is necessary. Eliminate whatever is superfluous because it drains your energy, and it’s a distraction. Plan on a fun, friendly weekend after the New Moon. This will be the perfect time to chat with friends and catch up on what’s happening. Sunday will be spontaneous and exciting!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You’re enjoying warm conversations with others, especially younger people. However, this is also an excellent week, for you to make goals for the future. You have all week to think about this because Friday’s New Moon is the perfect time to make a commitment to new ways of doing things, which will help you achieve your objectives. You’re serious about travel plans or higher education, legal matters or issues related to your medical well-being. Meanwhile, with Jupiter at the top of your chart, you look fabulous to others! This is a blessing that will help you this year. Since this occurs only once every 12 years – make the most of it!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The Sun is still at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering light, which makes everyone, especially bosses, parents, teachers and the police see you through admiring eyes. You look great to them even if you don’t do anything special. This happens once a year and it definitely an advantage for you! Now is the time to ask for the permission or approval that you want. Meanwhile, think about what you want to achieve this year because Friday’s New Moon is an excellent time to make goals. (See All signs above for the advantages of making goals.) This is a good week to clarify debt and matters related to taxes and money back from the government. Ka-ching!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You need to get outta Dodge. You want a change of pace that is not only stimulating but also replenishing and restorative. (It’s hard out there without your towel.) This week you can make goals or better define the boundaries and expectations of your closest relationships. If you want to initiate some new rules or new ways of doing things, have this discussion on Friday at the time of the New Moon. In addition to thoughts about your closest relationships, you can also make long-range plans for the future this week. (You might want to know that you will be travelling much more in 2023. This will also be a year full of publishing opportunities.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because you are ambitious to achieve a lot, this is a busy and demanding week. You will work hard, even to the point of delegating to others. You feel a bit stern this week, which is why you will be less inclined to show kindness and compassion to those who don’t deserve it, in your mind. Tough love. Expect to have a strong focus on shared property, taxes, debt and issues related to the wealth and resources of others, including inheritances. You might feel kindly toward (or even attracted to) an authority figure at work or someone who is older or more experienced. It will please you to make your workspace more efficient and attractive.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

With the Sun opposite your sign now, you are more tired than usual, which means you need more sleep. Keep this in mind. Meanwhile, your focus on your kids continues to be strong. In fact, many of you have increased responsibilities with kids at this time. Others will have a similar focus on sports related activities, the arts, vacations, financial speculation and social outings. You’re making plans that involve strategy, effort and work. (Even a picnic requires sandwiches and a blanket.) Think about how you can improve your closest relationships and partnerships; also, how can improve your relations with your kids? Your possessions are just stuff. People are priceless.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’re in the frame of mind to get things done. You are motivated and earnest. You know that you have a long-haul ahead of you and you’re prepared to meet it. You’re ready to work efficiently because you have high expectations for yourself. In particular, you want to reorganize things at home. We’re talking major changes – not just sweeping floors. More likely pushing furniture around! This might entail renovations, redecorating projects or major repairs. Naturally, this could trigger angst and tension at home or with family members. When this kind of anger arrives, remember that patience is the antidote to anger. It always is.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a playful, lighthearted time for you! You might be excited about something related to your kids. Or you might be excited about social occasions, the arts or a fun, getaway vacation. Whatever the case, you’re pumped with energy. Meanwhile, you are focused on certain issues that affect your day-to-day life as well as your dealings with neighbours, siblings and relatives. This is an excellent week to study and set goals. It’s a great week to write and explore new ideas. You might teach others or you might be the student. Now is the time to define your expectations for the future and decide how you can begin working towards attaining those goals. Let’s get ‘er done!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your focus on home and family, and your private life continues to be strong. Many of you are involved more than usual with a parent. However, financial issues are important right now. They could relate to your earnings and your moneymaking ideas. Or perhaps, they relate to major expenditures. Whatever the case, you are more concerned with your cash flow at this time. Perhaps your goal setting will be more related to how you handle your money and your possessions, so that you feel you’re getting the best use out of what you own. After all, what you own should help you and work for you – and not be a burden. Obviously!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

There’s a lot going on right now in your life, which is why you have a need to communicate to others and tell it like it is. You want to talk some things through with someone — in part, to get them clarified in your own mind. (It helps to hear your own thoughts verbalized out loud. Sometimes you realize, “I don’t even agree with me!”) You have a strong sense of purpose this week, which will translate into a desire to reestablish things and ground yourself so that you feel more in control. You also want to clarify boundaries in a realistic way. This is because you intend to forge ahead on your own terms instead of getting bogged down by other people’s toxicity. Well done!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a curious time because in one way, you are out there flying your colours, and concerned with finances, earning money, moneymaking ideas and dealing with your possessions. That’s a lot! However, in addition to this, so much is going on behind the scenes. Oh yes, you’re having serious shower conversations with yourself. You’re making plans, testing strategies and deciding who to keep close and who to keep at a distance. It’s all about survival and when it comes to survival you come first. It’s that simple. That’s why parents are instructed to put the oxygen mask on themselves first before they put it on their children in an emergency on a plane. You are your best resource!

Actor Stephen Dillane (1957) shares your birthday today. You are innovative and independent. You are a sensitive person who appears blunt, bold and aggressive. In fact, you put your loved ones first. This year is the last year of a nine-year cycle, which is why you will wind up things and let go of people and situations that are no longer relevant in your world.

March 27, 2022 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 Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. 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.

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