Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 1 PM to 3:30 PM EST today (10 AM to 12:30 PM PST). The New Moon is in Sagittarius today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today’s New Moon is the perfect chance to set intentions about expanding your world or improving your job through further training, education or travel. When he was 87, Michelangelo said, “I’m still learning.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You are the financial wizard of the zodiac. Today is the only New Moon all year that offers you the chance to set intentions about how to best deal with shared property, inheritances and anything that you own jointly with someone. Write down some ideas.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today the only New Moon all year opposite your sign is taking place, which means this is perhaps the best day of the year to think about what you can do to improve your closest relationships. There is always something. Ideas?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the New Moon is in your sign. This is the only time all year this will occur, and it is an opportunity for you. Every New Moon is a chance to make resolutions and set new intentions. Think about how you can improve your relations with others. Take a look in the mirror and think about how you can improve your image.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Even if we think we don’t believe in anything, that’s what we believe in. In other words, we all have beliefs. Today’s New Moon is a good time to ask yourself what you believe in. What is the highest good to your way of thinking? What really matters?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

We are gregarious creatures. We need friends and people to talk to. We need to see others and we need to be seen. Today’s New Moon is the perfect day to think about what you can do to improve your friendships and interactions with groups. If you want more friends – be friendly!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Everyone cares about the reputation and the impression that they create on their audience. Without exception. Today’s New Moon is your chance to think about your public reputation and your style of relating to authority figures – parents, bosses, teachers and even the police. Is there room for improvement?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is the perfect day to decide how you can improve your life through learning, reading, studying, taking courses or travel. In other words, what can you do to enrich your life and expand your world. Any ideas?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Life is easier if you feel financially secure. Today’s New Moon is in one of your Money Houses. Make plans to reduce your debt or consolidate financial arrangements about shared property and inheritances so that you feel more reassured and confident.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The New Moon today is directly opposite your sign, which is the best opportunity for you all year to think about how you can improve your partnerships and closest friendships. Think about what kind of friend you are to others. How can you be a better friend and a better partner?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is an excellent day to set intentions. In particular, what resolutions would you make that will help you to improve your job or how you do your job? What resolutions might you make to improve your health? Think about this.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

We are a goal-oriented society. However, it’s important to play and enjoy the arts. Today’s New Moon is the perfect time to ask yourself if you have a good balance between work and play. Do you take time to have fun with others, especially children? Do you value your creative talents?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress, singer, songwriter Miley Cyrus (1992) shares your birthday today. You are an idealist. You are creative high spirited and freethinking. You seek adventure and try to avoid a routine. Simplicity is the key to this year for you. Focus on your health or physical exercise and methods to stay grounded. Work hard for what you want.

November 23 Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

2022 November 23

Earthset from Orion

Image Credit: NASA, Artemis 1

Explanation: Eight billion people are about to disappear in this snapshot from space. Taken on November 21, the sixth day of the Artemis 1 mission, their home world is setting behind the Moon’s bright edge as viewed by an external camera on the outbound Orion spacecraft. The Orion was headed for a powered flyby that took it to within 130 kilometers of the lunar surface. Velocity gained in the flyby maneuver will be used to reach a distant retrograde orbit around the Moon. That orbit is considered distant because it’s another 92,000 kilometers beyond the Moon, and retrograde because the spacecraft will orbit in the opposite direction of the Moon’s orbit around planet Earth. Orion will enter its distant retrograde orbit on Friday, November 25. Swinging around the Moon, Orion will reach a maximum distance (just over 400,000 kilometers) from Earth on Monday November 28 exceeding a record set by Apollo 13 for most distant spacecraft designed for human space exploration.

Elder Moon: November 24 – December 23

American Elder Tree

From LearnReligions.com

The winter solstice has passed, and the Elder moon is a time of endings. Although the Elder can be damaged easily, it recovers quickly and springs back to life, corresponding to the approaching New Year. Called Ruish by the Celts (pronounced roo-esh), the month of Elder is a good time for workings related to creativity and renewal. It is a time of beginnings and endings, births and deaths, and rejuvenation. Elder is also said to protect against demons and other negative entities. Use in magic connected to Faeries and other nature spirits.

Ireland Elder Tree

From Ireland-Calling.com

Elder – a tree sacred to the Celts

In Ireland, the elder was considered a sacred tree and, like the hawthorn, it was forbidden to cut one down. The elder tree was prized for its many uses culinary, medicinal and mystical.

Both the flowers and berries of the elder can be used to make wine. Elderflower wine was said to be drunk at the Beltane celebrations and elderberries were made into a wine at Samhain which was consumed to promote divination and hallucinations.

Ogham, the mysterious language of the trees The Origins of the Ogham alphabet are still a mystery for many historians, but it is primarily thought to be an early form of the Irish written Language.
Ruis, R, Elder is the fifteenth letter in the ogham alphabet, Ruis, and the thirteenth and final month of the Celtic tree calendar.

Poisonous

The seeds, bark, leaves and flowers of the elder can be poisonous as is the unripe fruit so special care must have been taken when preparing such beverages.

The superstition of never cutting down an elder bush was not unique to Ireland. In Denmark, peasants never chopped an elder because Hyldemor, The Elder Mother, lived in the trunk.

This belief was possibly brought to the East of England by the Vikings and, even today, in Lincolnshire people ask permission from ‘The Old Lady’ before taking cuttings from the tree.

Christians gave elder a bad reputation

Christians believed that the elder tree was the tree that Judas hanged himself from, therefore making it unlucky. Some also believed the cross was made of elder wood. In fact the Christians gave the elder a bad reputation in general.

It was during Christian times that the elder became most associated with witches and many stories of ‘elder-witches’ spread throughout Ireland and Britain. This developed into an association with the devil.

To burn elder wood in your fire would bring the devil into your house.

Celts believed it protected the from evil spirits

It seems more likely that rather than a tree to be feared the elder was a highly respected tree in the old Celtic land. It was said to protect from evil spirits as well as inviting them.

Cradles were built from elder wood to protect babies and elder bushes were often planted around cattle to keep them healthy. It was believed that planting an elder near your house would also protect it from lightning.

At the same time, a flute made of elder could be used to summon spirits and, in Scotland, if you stand under an elder tree at Samhain you will be able to see the fairies riding by.

This is a lovely year for you to socialize and enjoy life. Explore your creativity and nurture your appreciation for beauty. Old friends may reappear in your world again.

November 22, 2022 Moon Goddess Current Phase

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. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. 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. 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 November 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on November 22 has an illumination of 3%. 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 November 22 the Moon is 27.94 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.

November 22 Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

2022 November 22

A Double Star Cluster in Perseus

Image Credit & Copyright: Tommy Lease

Explanation: Few star clusters this close to each other. Visible to the unaided eye from dark sky areas, it was cataloged in 130 BC by Greek astronomer Hipparchus. Some 7,000 light-years away, this pair of open star clusters is also an easy binocular target, a striking starfield in the northern constellation of the mythical Greek hero Perseus. Now known as h and chi Persei, or NGC 869 (above right) and NGC 884, the clusters themselves are separated by only a few hundred light-years and contain stars much younger and hotter than the Sun. In addition to being physically close together, the clusters‘ ages based on their individual stars are similar – evidence that both clusters were likely a product of the same star-forming region.

A Thought for Today

Today is a strange one I started posting after 4 1/2 hours sleep and made it through the regular daily posts without a mistake for a change. Keep in mind I post for two days ahead of the northern hemisphere’s current date. In other words, I am doing Tuesday’s posts on Sunday. Yes, it does get very confusing sometimes especially if I do not plan ahead for a day off.

This is the last post for today which I am really grateful I am done. My plan for today is to take a shower and go back to bed for some much-needed sleep. Without enough sleep not only a I grumpy all day I can send myself into a fibromyalgia flare. Since the one I have been going through for most of the summer and all of the fall so far was finally getting under control so definitely I do not want to go back into a super flare.

Until tomorrow dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be blessed with all things positive!

November 21, 2022 Moon Goddess Current Phase

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. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. 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. 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 November 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on November 21 has an illumination of 8%. 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 November 21 the Moon is 26.88 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.
