Jupiter Rotates

Video Credit & Copyright: JL DauvergneMusic: 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 ParisFrance. 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. More about the 13 Zodiac Signs and Celtic Tree Months in other posts.)

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: NASAGSFCU. 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.

Birthday Horoscope

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS OCTOBER 23, then you are a romantic at heart. You are a mysterious Scorpio, however. You tend to expect a certain level of loyalty from your friends and you have some idealistic notions about love.

If today is your birthday, you are also a distinctive person. In a relationship, you have a tendency to keep it private but demand a lot. Ironically, you’d make a great private investigator. People born today are known to have unmistakable gut instinct.

When it comes to you and your family, you guys are close. You love your siblings and find that you are not as close to your cousins. The October 23rd birthday personality is affectionate and spiritual. You practice meditation generally in your daily routine as a part of relaxation techniques.

Mostly, you could be vulnerable especially when you are sleep deprived. Those of you born on this day could be lazy when it comes to relationships. Perhaps, you should find a balance between the two.

The 23rd October birthday love compatibility predictions show that you are a hopeless romantic. You love to be seduced and to do the seducing.

Although you don’t particularly care for hanging all out in public, you like to touch in private. Loyalty is a must if you want to be in a relationship with this Scorpio birthday person. You just don’t like a lot of attention like other Scorpions.

As the 23 October birthday zodiac sign is Scorpio, you are likely to be very close to your family members especially when it comes to your siblings. You still enjoy playing around with them possibly having memories of when you were naughty children.

You may have better parenting skills because of your close upbringing. Some friendships can be compared to as extensions of the family as well. As a lover, you can be so very passionate and creative.

The October 23 birthday horoscope also predicts that you may have idealistic dreams and hopes but you know how to handle your paper. Money may not be the most important thing to you. It could be possible that you haven’t found your professional niche. Someone like you may be interested in the thrill of a certain position. If it tests your skills and knowledge or even, a gift of having certain power that you need to improve on, you will do it.

Career options for the 23 October birthday personality are many. You are suited for many occupations especially when it comes to legal affairs or law enforcement. It gives you pleasure and satisfaction knowing that you can turn a negative situation into a winning campaign.

As the October 23rd birthday astrology rightly says, you can be an individual who is bloodthirsty and possibly manipulative. These qualities could be your downfall or you can use them as a positive feature. Your reputation is at stake so make your decisions carefully. Whatever field you choose, you will likely go at it with a lot of determination and with a competitive spirit.

When it comes to your health, Scorpio, you lack the ambition to work out. You have a tendency to think that maintenance is not necessary because your overall health is in good condition. However, you could spruce up your tennis game. It’s a great outdoor activity and it could be fun with the right person or people.

In the meantime, meditation seems to be working for you as a sleep aid. Your eating habits can contribute to your sleep patterns as well. Be sure to take your vitamins every day to get the maximum effects from them.

You are a mysterious Scorpio if you were born on October 23. You keep your business to yourself but would make an awesome detective or police officer. You enjoyed your childhood with your brothers and sisters and still embrace them with so much love and tenderness.

The October 23 birthday meaning suggests that you are determined to succeed as you have a competitive trait as well. Generally, your health is up for a challenge so, you should find a work out tailored just for someone born today.
