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.

The Harvest Moon and Hunter’s Moon
From MoonGiant.com
October’s full moon is commonly called the Hunter’s Moon, harkening back to European and Native American traditions where hunters would use the light of the full moon to track down their prey and stock up for the coming winter. Contrary to popular belief, the Hunter’s Moon isn’t actually bigger or brighter than usual. It simply rises earlier, soon after sunset, which would give hunters plenty of bright moonlight to hunt by during the early evenings. To Neo Pagans, however, the Hunter’s Moon is known by a far more morbid name – the Blood Moon.
Humans through the ages have always found autumn’s full moons to be creepy, and not without good reason. There’s a reason why English folks in the Middle Ages called October’s full moon the Blood Moon, and it’s the exact same reason why even Halloween imagery today often features a large, low-hanging moon with an eerie reddish glow. The Hunter’s Moon rises early in the evening, which means that you are more likely to see it near the horizon. When you observe the moon while it’s near the horizon, it gives off the illusion of being bigger while it’s in fact the same size. In addition, observing the moon at the horizon makes it look redder. This is because you’re seeing it through a thicker atmosphere, which scatters more blue light and lets more red light pass through to reach your eyes.
Scientific explanations aside, the Hunter’s Moon or Blood Moon still holds an undeniable aura of mystique and power. As October’s full moon occurs right before Samhain, the Gaelic mid-autumn festival that has evolved into Halloween today, Neo Pagans consider the month of the Blood Moon to be a special time denoting the change of seasons and a prime opportunity to contact dead loved ones, given the thinning of the veil between the physical world and the spiritual world. Precious stones such as amethyst are used to ward off evil, and sacred flowers like chrysanthemum are used when working with spirits, such as in rituals to commune with long-dead ancestors.
Despite the Blood Moon’s spooky associations, it rarely actually happens on Samhain or Halloween night itself. The next time you’ll get to see the full moon on Halloween is 2020, and if you miss that, you’ll have to wait 15 years to see it in 2035. Sometimes, October’s full moon even happens early enough in the month that it becomes the Harvest Moon, which is defined as the full moon that’s closest to the fall equinox. In Chinese culture, the Harvest Moon is celebrated during the Mid-Autumn Festival, where people gather to celebrate by eating mooncakes. There is also a harvest festival in India that celebrates October’s full moon, called Sharad Purnima. Devotees fast all day before offering delicacies to the Moon God under the moonlight.
In contrast to the day-long fast of India’s moonlight festival, the Hunter’s Moon was a very important feast day in Europe as well as for many Native American tribes. Appropriately, the Ponca tribe’s name for the Hunter’s Moon is “the moon when they store food in caches”. Taking advantage of the fact that the fields have been reaped, hunters would capture foxes and other small animals who come out to graze on the fallen grains, as well as hunt down deer in the moonlight. They would butcher their prey and preserve their meat. Blood Moon is an excellent name for this month’s full moon, given that it was a final, bloody harvesting of meat before the winter months.
Sadly, the tradition of feasting during the Hunter’s Moon was lost around the year 1700, but its spirit still lives on in historical reenactments like the Feast of the Hunter’s Moon, or even the feast of candy enjoyed by trick-or-treaters everywhere on Halloween.

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.

Golden Opportunity: How to Make Your Own Safe Food Coloring at Home
I was amazed when I read this article about what manufactured food coloring can do to a person. Than I was excited to read how it explains how to make your own out of vegetables and other things.
Information on how and why to make your own food coloring
It’s hard to imagine birthday cakes without colorful writing, vibrant flowers, or other exciting designs. But the colors in our cakes, candies, and other popular foods may not be as innocuous as their pretty exteriors would lead us to believe.
Research suggests that synthetic food coloring may harm human health in a variety of ways. But in spite of the risk factors, these colorants are cropping up in more foods than ever before. Although they provide no nutritional value, they’re added to a wide range of foods to intensify color or give those foods the color people expect to see.1 (For example, boxed cake batters may be dyed yellow in to look like they’re made from real eggs.)
With a little effort, you can avoid synthetic food coloring. Here’s why

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.

Waxing Gibbous Phase
The Waxing Gibbous on October 18 has an illumination of 96%. 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 October 18 the Moon is 12.76 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.

The Seven Alchemical Metals & Planets of the Week
From joedubs.com – To read more about the daily planets and metals
Ancient Mesopotamian astrologers devised a seven day week inspired by the heavenly bodies that wandered about the sky. There were seven in total. The equally sized flashlight and nightlight in the sky, the sun and moon, along with the other five wandering orbs of light thus form the basis of this alchemical cosmology.
The word planet comes from the Greek planētēs, meaning “wanderer”. So by definition the Sun and Moon were considered planets to the Ancients.
Of the days that are not named directly after the seven planets, their name is derived from the Norse Gods associated with the respective planet. The origin of Sunday is of course from the Sun in the sky. Of the seven known metals, the Sun has always represented gold, irrespective of time and place.
Monday or more properly, ‘Moon-day’, is known as …

The Einstein Cross Gravitational Lens
Image Credit & License: J. Rhoads (Arizona State U.) et al., WIYN, AURA, NOIRLab, NSFExplanation: Most galaxies have a single nucleus — does this galaxy have four? The strange answer leads astronomers to conclude that the nucleus of the surrounding galaxy is not even visible in this image. The central cloverleaf is rather light emitted from a background quasar. The gravitational field of the visible foreground galaxy breaks light from this distant quasar into four distinct images. The quasar must be properly aligned behind the center of a massive galaxy for a mirage like this to be evident. The general effect is known as gravitational lensing, and this specific case is known as the Einstein Cross. Stranger still, the images of the Einstein Cross vary in relative brightness, enhanced occasionally by the additional gravitational microlensing effect of specific stars in the foreground galaxy.
