Young country diary: I found the strangest thing in a rockpool
Living next to the sea is rewarding. Very rewarding. Particularly when it is the sort of beach that is rocky and covered in seaweed. Sure, it doesn’t sound as nice as the white-sanded coast in that travel magazine, but there is so much life to find!
Turning over rocks is a good place to start. When the tide goes out, all the small animals hide under rocks to keep cool and lessen the risk of predation. I have found many crabs, snails and even small fish such as blennies and butterfish by looking under rocks. But be careful to gently put the rock back where it came from.
On top of the rocks you may find jellyfish, such as the harmless moon jellyfish, the lion’s mane which is large and has a nasty sting, the barrel jellyfish and the rare blue fire jellyfish.
Sometimes something unusual turns up. This is more common after a large storm, when many creatures from deep or open water can get washed ashore. Recently, after a disheartening day of finding nothing but whelks and anemones, I found a small sea mouse, an extremely interesting marine worm with a short, fluffy body with large iridescent hairs on it. Sea mice are not rockpool dwellers. They live on the sea floor buried in the silt, so it would take quite a violent storm to wash it on to this shore. I was really excited – I’d never seen one before, so I took a few photos before returning it to the sea.
One of my other recent finds was a cross jellyfish, a transparent, deep-sea jellyfish with a bioluminescent blue cross on the bell, which can be found a kilometre under the sea.
So next time you want to go to the sea, skip those beautiful, but boring sandy beaches, and try a rocky shoreline. And remember, always handle everything carefully as you are dealing with live animals.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
A discussion with someone older or more experienced might help you today. Note: Whatever happens, you will have to go more than half way when dealing with this person. Keep your ears open because this person can help you in a practical way.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You can accomplish a lot today because you’re willing to work hard. In fact, you will put up with discomfort and difficulty to persevere at what you want to achieve. Basically, you want to get the job done. This same self-denying attitude can apply to improving your health.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today you have a sober, realistic attitude when it comes to your kids, or a social occasion, or perhaps something to do with sports events. You want everything to unfold realistically, and in a practical, doable fashion. No pie-in-the-sky stuff – not today. Just get it done.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today the past has a strong attraction for you, which is why you might reminisce about childhood experiences or earlier family events. You will prefer to stay at home and be comforted by the familiarity of your daily surroundings. Life marches on.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today discussions with others will be about serious, practical matters. You won’t be inclined to talk about your feelings; however, if you have a problem, you might seek out the advice of someone older or more experienced. You want common sense answers today.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
If you deal with financial matters today, or practical issues dealing with your possessions, you will likely make good progress because today you’re ready to deal with physical, doable issues. Your approach will be common sense and logical, which is why you’ll get a lot done. (Fingers crossed.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with stern Saturn. This promotes a more sober and realistic view of things from your point of view. It also gives you the ability to put up with adversity and strain because you have the patience to deal with whatever it is you want to accomplish. (Admirable!)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Research will go well today because you are focused and not in a frivolous frame of mind. You will stick with your original intent to find information or solve problems, even if you have to undergo some discomfort to do so. This is why you will get results.

A conversation with someone older or more experienced might benefit you today. This is why this is a good day to seek out an older person whose wisdom you respect and who might offer you emotional support and practical suggestions. (Hey, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Discussions with bosses, parents and perhaps the police will be sober but hopefully, practical and worthwhile today. In fact, people are willing to put up with discomfort today because they have the patience and perseverance to wait for the results they want. Hang in there.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
If you are studying something today, you will achieve a lot because you are focused and will continue studying until you have achieved what you want to learn. Others might use this same patient perseverance to deal with complicated travel plans, legal matters or medical issues.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You will do well in discussions about shared property, inheritances, taxes or debt because you’re willing to persevere and do your homework. You’re not going to quit at the first boring annoyance. Perseverance and patience will bring you the results you want.

Spell for Today – Easy Truth Spell
Easy Truth Spell
This spell can be used for finding out the truth behind someone’s words if they are avoiding a subject or lying to you, it can also be used to find out things that may have been right in front of you the entire time.
You will need to make a circle of protection for this spell so make sure you know how, if not please refer to the steps located in this guide for how to make a circle of protection.
Things you will need:
– A small Lapis Lazuli gemstone which has been cleansed by either being soaked in salt water or held over lit incense
– A purple or white candle
– Small white cloth
Step 1: Begin by casting your circle and lighting the candle in front of you, focus on the flame and use it to clear your mind of all thought.
Step 2: Take your gemstone in your hand, visualise a white flame in your mind with your eyes closed, try to imagine the flame growing larger and brighter until it fills the whole of your circle.
Step 3: Channel the light around you into the gemstone in your hand and visualise it glowing brighter than the sun, then being to chant the following: “Let the truth that I seek reveal itself to me, May what is hidden come into the light, so mote it be”
Step 4: Close your circle and place the now enchanted gemstone under your pillow, the answers you seek will be revealed in your dreams, you will not remember them but you will have gut feelings over the answers the next day, when you are not using the stone make sure to wrap it in a small white cloth and don’t let anyone else touch it.

A Moon Dressed Like Saturn
Image Credit & Copyright: Francisco Sojuel
Explanation: Why does Saturn appear so big? It doesn’t — what is pictured are foreground clouds on Earth crossing in front of the Moon. The Moon shows a slight crescent phase with most of its surface visible by reflected Earthlight known as ashen glow. The Sun directly illuminates the brightly lit lunar crescent from the bottom, which means that the Sun must be below the horizon and so the image was taken before sunrise. This double take-inducing picture was captured on 2019 December 24, two days before the Moon slid in front of the Sun to create a solar eclipse. In the foreground, lights from small Guatemalan towns are visible behind the huge volcano Pacaya.
