Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or big decisions from 10 AM to 5:15 PM EDT today (7 AM to 2:15 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Aries into Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Tread carefully because for most of this day, the Moon is in your sign, which will always heighten your emotions, especially if you’re feeling trigger-happy. This day begins with intense feelings. You feel that you are right, which might make you oppose bosses, parents and authority figures. Easy does it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a bit of a delicate day because privately, you might have strong reactions to someone, or perhaps the media, about matters related to politics, religion or racial issues. You might disagree with something. Or possibly, this is something that triggers a personal response within you?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Be careful when talking to others today. You might react to someone because it’s a personal, compulsive feeling that you have. In other words, if you take a moment to think about things, you might not even agree with yourself! Do not be quick to disagree with a friend or a group. Think things through first.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

No doubt, you are at odds with a parent, boss or someone in a position of authority (especially a female) about something today. You might want to ask yourself if this is a deep emotional, knee-jerk reaction? Is it really something you want to do battle about?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Controversial issues might bring about a response from you today, especially if it’s something in the media or something to do with politics, religion or racial issues. When it comes down to it, this might be your own emotional power struggle? Don’t let anyone manipulate you. Don’t manipulate someone else.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You have strong opinions when it comes to financial matters related to inheritances, shared property, financial matters and insurance issues. You intend to stand your ground. You will fight anyone who opposes you. Make sure you have your facts right.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Even though you might feel at odds with someone close to you today, keep in mind that the Sun is in your sign now, and today, Mercury moves into your sign as well, which means you have all your diplomatic skills at your disposal. Use your skilful means.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today some people feel hot under the collar because issues are important to them. You might encounter this with a coworker who either wants to introduce improvements and reforms, or perhaps they’re resisting these improvements? Make sure you know what’s going on.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Parents must be patient with kids today because emotions are running high. When the Moon is in Aries, people are inclined to fight without thinking. Furthermore, because the Moon is at odds with Pluto in the morning, there is tension in the air.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Family disputes might take place this morning, especially with a female family relative. That’s not the ideal way to begin your day or even your week. Do what you can to maintain harmony at home. Keep the peace because family is important to you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

There’s a strong chance that you will encounter power struggles with someone today about practically anything. Someone might play the victim or use guilt or some kind of subversive technique to get their way. Rise above this. Take the high road.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Money squabbles might take place today, especially this morning. Or perhaps there is a dispute about the ownership of something? Think twice before you speak because it’s easy to give into a sudden urge or impulse that is just a knee-jerk reaction. Maintain your cool.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Amanda Burton (1956) shares your birthday today. You have grace and elegance. You are intelligent, well organized and articulate in a pleasant way. You have a teasing, friendly quality that likes to provoke. This is a powerful year because you will reap the benefits of all your hard work. Expect promotions, awards and leadership opportunities.

A Double Lunar Analemma over Turkey

Image Credit & Copyright: Betul Turksoy

Explanation: An analemma is that figure-8 curve you get when you mark the position of the Sun at the same time each day for one year. But the trick to imaging an analemma of the Moon is to wait bit longer. On average the Moon returns to the same position in the sky about 50 minutes and 29 seconds later each day. So photograph the Moon 50 minutes 29 seconds later on successive days. Over one lunation or lunar month it will trace out an analemma-like curve as the Moon’s actual position wanders due to its tilted and elliptical orbit. Since the featured image was taken over two months, it actually shows a double lunar analemma. Crescent lunar phases too thin and faint to capture around the New moon are missing. The two months the persistent astrophotographer chose were during a good stretch of weather during July and August, and the location was Kayseri, Turkey

All Signs

This will be a positive week, and people will be cooperative. “Work hard, party hard!” will be a timely theme because, October is the month to hustle. Who knows what awaits us once Mars goes retrograde at the end of the month? (And stays retrograde until Jan. 12th!) Unconsciously, we are attached to the aggressive force of Mars, which creates drive, ambitious energy and sexual desire. Mars wants victory and conquest. However, every two years, Mars goes retrograde for 12 weeks, which makes well-intended plans fizzle right before our eyes. Plus, plans we initiate when Mars is retrograde, tend to be dubious. “Dubious?” “Yes, dubious.” “Do you mean dubitable or moot?” “Don’t quibble, Sibyl.”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This week is about conversations and cooperation, which you will handle with grace, charm and patience. This is because the Sun, Mercury and fair Venus are all opposite your sign, which draws your attention to partners, close friends and members of the public. It’s time to interact. And part of this interaction involves your ability to listen to what others have to say. Fortunately, Venus will grease the wheels of all your conversations, personal intimate and “everyday casual”. You might even find ways to make peace with your enemies and resolve legal confrontations. Even though Venus and Mercury will soften your conversations, with your ruler fiery Mars in your House of Communications, you’ll mean business! Go gently.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a positive week, and you find it easy to work. Mars is in your Money House for the rest of the year, which heightens your desire to work and earn money. (Actually, it makes your ego identify with what you own. If you own a lot, you feel that you are “worth” more as a person.) But of course, you are not your bank account. Nevertheless, this is why you have a driving energy this month to boost your earnings. Meanwhile, the Sun, Mercury and Venus are in your House of Employment, urging you to work hard for a sense of satisfaction and personal reward. You want to accomplish as much as possible and you want to do it with style. Fortunately, people are cooperating! A happy week!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a happy, playful week! With Mars in your sign, you have high energy. You will enjoy physical activities, athletics and competitive interactions with others because you’re pumped! Meanwhile, three planets are in the part of your chart that encourages exploring your creative potential. You want to have fun. Therefore, get out and socialize! Take a vacation. Enjoy the arts, the entertainment world. Meet a friend for lunch. Drop in for Happy Hour and catch up on the latest. Sports events and fun activities with children will appeal. See a movie, a musical performance, or enjoy the theatre. Hikes, picnics and barbecues will appeal if weather cooperates. You want fun times!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your primary focus right now is on home and family. Some of you are more involved with a parent or an older family member. Family discussions are taking place, while personally, you’re rolling up your sleeves and taking part in home repairs and DIY projects. In particular, because you want to make your home more attractive, you are interested in redecorating projects and renovations. Some of you are also involved in real-estate speculation or a residential move. Whatever is happening, you want to do this right because at heart, you are a nester. Your home is your refuge. It’s where you retreat to in order to rejuvenate and find the strength to deal with the world “out there.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This continues to be a busy, fast-paced time! Many of you are writing and reading more than usual. You’re talking to siblings, relatives and daily contacts because you have something to say. This is an excellent time to learn anything new by taking a course or attending school. Don’t settle down and relax. That’s not what’s happening. Enjoy your busy pace and get involved! Grab every chance to have fun and socialize because you need to interact with others. Enjoy the beauty of your everyday surroundings and appreciate your good fortune. Short trips will delight. Take a quick trip to the country or through a park because your appreciation of beauty is heightened.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Report card time: How well are you handling what you own? Do your possessions make your life easier or are they a drag? Ideally, they should work for you. If you’re proud of what you own, why not entertain others to share your good fortune? Now is the time to establish greater control of your life through your wealth and your values. This is why you’re spending money and constantly checking your finances. Venus of course, wants you to buy beautiful things – lovely clothes, jewelry and art objects. Fortunately, Venus also attracts money to you. Work hard to earn money: take care of what you own. Do this while your ambition is strong.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You shine this week because the Sun, Mercury and your ruler, fair Venus are all in Libra. This means you’ll run the meeting with tact and charm. You have a strong need to express yourself, and Mercury and Venus will help you do this. Mercury makes your mind busy and active (jumping rapidly from topic to topic). Nevertheless, you won’t miss a thing! Venus encourages good times with others, and attracts social situations to you. (This is an excellent week to buy wardrobe treasures.) Meanwhile, your ability to influence others is marvelous because Mars makes your ideas about politics, religion and all things philosophical dazzle! It also makes you want to travel and explore!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are the only sign that has the Sun, Mercury and Venus “hiding” in your chart right now. This means you can’t fully tap in to your strength. (In fact, you don’t really care.) Instead, you want to pull back and mull things over. You want to avoid downtown rush-hour. You want peace and quiet, and a chance to enjoy harmony in your own private way. This is fine. It’s important to recognize that this is a priority for you. Indulge your need for rest, quiet, contemplation and privacy. Go gently if you’re involved in disputes about shared property, money, bills or jointly-held possessions. Your theme song this week is, “I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Friendships and interactions with groups and organizations are important to you this week. In fact, you will have a chance to examine the role they play in your life. Maybe you’re attending something or being part of a group out of habit, or a sense of duty, but your heart is not really in it? Think about this. Maybe these are not your people? Having said that, this is an excellent week for team effort. Younger people as well as creative, artistic people might be in your life right now. They might even cause you to rethink some future goals? You love thinking about the future – and why not? That’s where you will spend the rest of your life!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Once a year, for four weeks, the Sun is at the top of your chart, making you look good to others, especially bosses, parents, teachers and the police. (This happens whether you do something special or not. It’s magic.) Obviously, this will draw attention to anything that done in a slipshod matter. (Yikes! Yes, the limelight is a double-edged sword.) Note; Do not pretend to be something you are not, because the truth will eventually come out. Nevertheless, this is an excellent time to talk to parents and bosses about what you want because circumstances favour you. Very likely, someone wants your advice about redecorating or layout, or how to make something look better. Meanwhile, you might be flirting with your boss. Woot!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a fabulous time for you to learn either through study, courses, schoolwork or travel. Basically, do whatever you can to expand your world and broaden your horizons. Conversations with people from other backgrounds will intrigue you. You might fall in love with someone who is “different” because you will be attracted to people who are unusual or foreign. This is a playful time for you, especially with sports and athletic activities. You’re very enthusiastic now and not afraid to put your own interests first. The only fly in the ointment is you might have conflicts with your kids. Oh well, that goes with the territory. Enjoy your freedom!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It’s a strange time for you. Everything to do with home and your private life are at odds and confusing. Residential moves, home repairs, renovations and visiting guests are just some reasons that you feel out of control at home. It’s overwhelming! Cope as best you can, and don’t be a harsh judge of yourself if you feel you’re not in control of your scene. This challenge will last until the spring of next year. (Pick yourself up off the floor.) Meanwhile, this week, you are focused on shared property, shared responsibilities, debt, insurance issues and inheritances. Fortunately, these issues will probably be settled in your favour. Not only that, romantic passion is very affectionate!

Auroras over Northern Canada

Image Credit & Copyright: Kwon, O Chul (TWAN)

Explanation: Gusting solar winds and blasts of charged particles from the Sun resulted in several rewarding nights of auroras back in 2014 December, near the peak of the last 11-year solar cycle. The featured image captured dramatic auroras stretching across a sky near the town of Yellowknife in northern Canada. The auroras were so bright that they not only inspired awe, but were easily visible on an image exposure of only 1.3 seconds. A video taken concurrently shows the dancing sky lights evolving in real time as tourists, many there just to see auroras, respond with cheers. The conical dwellings on the image right are tipis, while far in the background, near the image center, is the constellation of Orion. Auroras may increase again over the next few years as our Sun again approaches solar maximum.

October 9, 2022 Daily Horoscopes

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. Naturally, this will heighten and intensify your feelings, and possibly create stress with partners and close friends. You can counter this by being patient because patience is the antidote to anger.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Mild health issues, as well as feeling vaguely out of sorts, might manifest for you today because of the energy of the Full Moon. Fortunately, this subsides within 48 hours. In fact, some minor problems related to your job might come to a head and be resolved.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Parents must be patient with their kids today; and likewise, romantic partners must be patient with each other because the Full Moon energy can stir things up! Nevertheless, it will not override your desire to socialize and have a fun time. Enjoy yourself.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today, you might feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career or your public reputation. (This is a classic Full Moon dynamic.) You can’t please everyone. In this particular instance, do not ignore home and family, especially a parent.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Pay attention to what you’re doing today, and to what you say to others because the Full Moon is inclined to make you blurt things out that you might later regret. In fact, it can introduce a mildly accident-prone influence for your sign, so be careful. Be alert and mindful.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Money disputes or disagreements about shared property might arise today because of the Full Moon. However, problems always increase before the Full Moon, and then after it peaks, these same problems diminish or even disappear. This might be the solution you need.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today, the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. This will tend to increase tension with those who are closest to you – friends, spouses and partners. Fortunately, you are a diplomat who knows how to steady things. Use your skills, and this tension will quickly pass.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Difficulties at work, or possibly with your health, might arise today because of the Full Moon energy. It’s good to know that in 48 hours, these difficulties will be resolved or greatly reduced. Fingers crossed. Relax. Similarly, you might have difficulties that relate to a pet. Easy does it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Parents need to be patient with kids today. You will also need to be patient with others in social situations, or anything to do with sports and athletics, because today the Full Moon can produce aggression and heightened reactions. Therefore, be forgiving and take everything with a grain of salt.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Dealing with authority figures, parents and the police might be challenging today because of the Full Moon energy. This is a poor day to be stubborn about anything. Instead, show deference and respect to authority figures while this intense energy exists. (Gone in 48 hours.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Pay attention to what you do because today is a mildly accident-prone day for you. Similarly, you might find yourself in an argument with someone about something trivial. This is because of the heightened Full Moon energy taking place in your chart. Relax. No biggie.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Money disputes might arise today. Or perhaps a disagreement about a possession, or something you own, or how to use something that someone else owns? This squabble could be due to the heightened Full Moon energy. After the Full Moon peaks, these problems will resolve themselves. Stay calm.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Organizing expert Marie Kondo (1984) shares your birthday today. You are articulate and you love to debate. (Although you want harmonious relationships with others.) Partnerships are important to you. This year is a time of reflection. Look at past experiences to see what not to repeat. New studies and the exploration of new philosophies and life belief systems will appeal.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping and important decisions from 7 AM to 12:15 PM EDT today (4 AM to 9:15 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Pisces into Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

After the Moon moves into Aries today, you have that feeling that everything is just fine! You’re happy! This is why you will feel generous to others and want to help wherever you can. Others will respond in kind. This is a good thing.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is an excellent day for meditation, introspection and quiet time to think about your values. You might also entertain lighter ideas and decide what makes you happy? What can you do to give yourself a treat today? (You love good food and drink.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a wonderful day to relate to groups and organizations. Time spent with a friend will be rewarding. If you have to speak to a group, you will be convincing. In fact, you can expect support from others because you will rally them to your cause.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You make a wonderful impression on others today. Everyone, especially bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs, will see you as successful, affluent, generous and kind. (It sounds a bit much, doesn’t it?) Nevertheless, enjoy your good press.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you’re keen to travel or have a change of scenery because you want adventure and stimulation in your life! If you can’t travel, then go someplace you’ve never been before. It will also excite you to learn something fascinating or meet interesting people.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

If you’re dealing with financial matters today, especially related to debt, inheritances, important insurance issues – do not sign anything important during the Moon Alert. (See above.) However, these discussions will tend to go your way because you will attract favours and wealth to you today.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is an excellent day to deal with members of the public or talk to large groups because you will easily establish a strong rapport with others. You will intuitively know what to say so that they agree with you. Today you will get what you give, especially in terms of kindness and friendship.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your health will feel invigorated today. You might also have affectionate, playful times with a pet that give you joy. Look for ways to improve your job or get a better job because they do exist. However, agree to nothing important during the Moon Alert. Wait until it’s over.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a great day to schmooze and have fun. In particular, you will enjoy activities with groups or interacting with the general public. This is also a wonderful day to participate in or watch sports events, as well as fun activities with kids.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Do entertain at home today because people are in an upbeat mood. Furthermore, they are generous, which means everyone is open to helping each other. By extension, some of you might discover a profitable real-estate deal today. (Check Moon Alert.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Because you are optimistic and upbeat today, you will enjoy hanging out with relatives, neighbours and siblings, mainly because they will enjoy hanging out with you. This is a great day for a short trip. It is also a good time to study or learn something new.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might see ways to boost your income today or to make a profit or to increase your wealth in some way because these opportunities do exist. However, do nothing during the Moon Alert: from 7 AM to 12:15 PM EDT today (4 AM to 9:15 AM PDT. Wait until it’s over.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Matt Damon (1970) shares your birthday today. You are a creative person who is a charming conversationalist. People like you. You are talented in many areas. You are casual, yet, decisive. This year is about service, especially to family. Therefore, you have to take care of yourself so that you can be a support to others. Time for a makeover?

October 8, 2022 Current Moon 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 Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. 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.

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

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on October 8 has an illumination of 98%. 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 8 the Moon is 13.32 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon.
