ARIES

Just today you will have to focus on one specific point in your life. Right now you will have to solve some important question that you have deep within yourself. If you do not know how to move on, try to consult friends or family.

Love: Spend more time with a loved one and less with friends. If you are without a partner, take care of yourself. You deserve a period of relaxation.

Health: Nothing will surprise you in health. Take a diet that can over time become your normal diet.

Work & Money: If you keep things and especially your finances carefully saved, you will not lose them. Beware of your property. Beware of enemies and if you have a good idea at work, don’t tell anyone.

November 3, 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. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. 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 word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

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

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on November 3 has an illumination of 74%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day.

November 3 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 3

The Triangulum Galaxy, otherwise known as Messier 33, lies almost 3 million light-years from Earth, and is a near neighbor of the Andromeda Galaxy. The galaxy is imaged here by the Nicholas U. Mayall 4-meter Telescope, located at Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), a Program of NSF’s NOIRLab.  The Triangulum Galaxy is the third-largest member of the Local Group, a cluster of galaxies that includes our Milky Way and its closest neighbors. The Andromeda Galaxy is the largest member. The Triangulum Galaxy and Andromeda Galaxy have history together, but astronomers are still investigating the details. Their close proximity has caused some researchers to suggest that Triangulum is a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy, not unlike the way the Moon is a satellite of the Earth — just on a much, much bigger scale. Alternatively, some researchers propose that these two galaxies may be independent and have simply brushed past each other, as evidenced by streams of stars and neutral hydrogen gas linking the two galaxies. However they have interacted, it’s probable that they will dramatically collide in 2.5 billion years, resulting in their consolidation and eventual evolution into a lenticular galaxy.

M33: The Triangulum Galaxy

Explanation: The small, northern constellation Triangulum harbors this magnificent face-on spiral galaxy, M33. Its popular names include the Pinwheel Galaxy or just the Triangulum Galaxy. M33 is over 50,000 light-years in diameter, third largest in the Local Group of galaxies after the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), and our own Milky Way. About 3 million light-years from the Milky Way, M33 is itself thought to be a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy and astronomers in these two galaxies would likely have spectacular views of each other’s grand spiral star systems. As for the view from the Milky Way, this sharp image combines data from telescopes on and around planet Earth to show off M33’s blue star clusters and pinkish star forming regions along the galaxy’s loosely wound spiral arms. In fact, the cavernous NGC 604 is the brightest star forming region, seen here at about the 1 o’clock position from the galaxy center. Like M31, M33’s population of well-measured variable stars have helped make this nearby spiral a cosmic yardstick for establishing the distance scale of the Universe.

WHAT PLANETS ARE RETROGRADE NOVEMBER 2022? THE CHAOS CONTINUES

November’s astrology is far less chaotic than October’s, but there’s still some astrological events that are sure to have your head spinning. With Mars retrograde now in full swing, this month’s motto is all about moving slowly and deliberately, while seeking to maintain clarity when it comes to important details and information. Two outer planets will also be retrograde, but because they’re farther away from the sun, their affects will be far less noticeable. While a total of three planets will be retrograde during November 2022, the star of the show is definitely Mars retrograde, so get ready to do plenty of reviewing and revising when it comes to conflict, confrontation, and communication.

Though there will be three planets retrograding through the cosmos this month, none of them will *actually* be stationing retrograde during November. Since Mars just stationed retrograde back on Oct. 30, however, this retrograde is certain to bring forth a period of review that’s noticeable for every zodiac sign this month, in the curious, chatty sign of Gemini, just in time for Thanksgiving.

What Is A Retrograde?

A retrograde takes place when a planet begins moving slower than its normal pace. While every planet aside from the luminaries (aka the sun and moon) experiences a retrograde cycle, not all of them are incredibly noticeable. When inner planets like Mercury, Venus, and Mars station retrograde, it tends to be more apparent, since they’re closer to Earth and visible to the naked eye. Outer planets like Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, on the other hand, are further away from us, which means that their retrogrades are typically less obvious, and the effects tend to be more noticeable over an extended period of time.

What Planets Will Be Retrograde November 2022?

A total of three planets will be retrograding through the sky during the month of November, but two of them are outer planets that stationed retrograde months ago. Uranus and Neptune spend several months retrograde every year, so this period is nothing out of the ordinary. Mars, however, the only personal planet retrograding this month, stations retrograde once every two years, making its effects far more apparent.

What To Expect From November 2022’s Retrograde Planets

While Mars, Uranus, and Neptune retrograde this month, only one of them — Mars — will be the planet causing the most noticeable shifts.

Neptune stationed retrograde in Pisces on June 28

Uranus stationed retrograde in Taurus on Aug. 24

Mars stationed retrograde on Oct. 30

In many different cultures, November’s full moon is intimately connected with death and loss, on both a literal and symbolic level. The Celts, for instance, called it the Reed Moon, comparing the mournful music made by wind instruments to the ghoulish sounds of spirits being drawn into the underworld. And not without good reason – the Full Mourning Moon marks a dangerous time of the year where people could easily slip into the underworld with a single misstep.

We may enjoy the luxury of winter coats and central heating now, but freezing to death during the long, dark winters used to be a very real threat to early inhabitants of Northern America. In order to survive, making warm winter clothing out of beaver fur was crucial for American colonists and Native American tribes. This is why November’s full moon is also known as the Beaver Moon. During this month, beavers are very active, working hard on dam construction, and so this was a good time to start harvesting their fur.

Missing the timing for this would mean death for these early Northern American communities, as the rivers would freeze over, making it impossible to set out traps. Many Native American tribes, including the Cree, Arapaho, and Abenaki tribes, called November’s full moon the “Moon When Rivers Start to Freeze”. This name drives home the importance of November’s full moon as a signal for these Native American tribes to begin trapping beavers before it was too late, as well as to complete their preparations for the darkest depths of winter.

For the Pagans, on the other hand, the final stage of their winter preparations involve the very important process of “mourning” – which is why they call the last moon before the winter solstice the Mourning Moon. After a full year of accumulating possessions, both physically and otherwise, the Mourning Moon is the perfect time to let go of old, unnecessary things, while giving yourself permission to mourn their passing. Practicing Pagans may perform a moonlit ritual where they write down the things they want to rid themselves of, and ask their Goddess for help in removing unwanted burdens.

Pagan traditions aside, anyone can benefit from taking the time to self-reflect and to let go. Take advantage of the Full Mourning Moon this November to look back on your year and take stock of your desires, your ambitions, your mental and behavioral habits, and the people you spend your energy on. Clean your living and work spaces, and sort out the physical objects that are not contributing to your well-being. Take the time to fully mourn and let go of anything – or anyone – that does not bring you joy, so that you can begin to move forward, unfettered, towards a lighter and happier new year.

Click here for any zodiac sun signs today and tomorrow horoscopes from horoscope-divination.com

ARIES

Someone will enter your life. However, beware of disagreements. You are fighting a very balanced battle with your opponent. You are very eager to be the best now and earn the well-deserved applause. Perseverance is the alpha and omega of this day.

Love: Go with your partner to places you haven’t discovered yet and spend time with each other. You need to feel close to each other. If you are single and entangled in a delightful triangle, only tears are waiting for you.

Health: Your body needs to refresh and needs you to clean it. If you are not a fan of vegetable foods, try buying pure Indian fiber, which you get in every pharmacy.

Work & Money: Measure twice and cut once in case of the new job offer. If you show what you are capable of at work, you can expect management’s interest in you.

TAURUS

In the second half of this day, you may feel very tired. Take a moment to relax. Cup of high-quality coffee or green tea will wake you up to get through the second half of the day with ease.

Love: Quarrels with a partner aren’t as tragic as you see them. Pay more attention to your partner and understand their needs. They will also try to understand yours if they see the initiative on your part. If you are single, you better focus on yourself and on your well-being.

Health: You need to replenish the fiber and cleanse the body. Indulge in a diet rich in fiber or buy soluble fiber in a pharmacy or drugstore.

Work & Money: Finance is not as important as it seems. Do not stubbornly head against the wall, this time you really are wrong and it could turn on you.

GEMINI

Make the most of this time to relax. Enjoy a pleasant evening atmosphere in the circle of your loved ones. In the morning, if circumstances allow you, lay in bed for longer. Visit your favorite restaurant for lunch and treat yourself with a really big portion of food. Pamper yourself and relax.

Love: You see too many errors in a partner that often do not even exist. Under the influence of Venus, singles will have the opportunity to meet someone really interesting who will shuffle their love cards.

Health: As a result of your commitment to healthy eating and exercise, you could start a whole new life path with your new self.

Work & Money: Beware of your property and your money saved because due to lack of attention you can lose most of your savings. You will be successful in everything you touch. Run like a train and complete all the broken tasks.

CANCER

You don’t need to feel guilty for taking a break from your daily duties. Sometimes you don’t have to let yourself down for not working 100 percent or with superhuman performance, or for not doing something today. Believe it or not, everyone neglects their duties now and then. Today is the time for you. Relax as much as you can and forget about hard work. Certain things that you had planned can surely be omitted today without any consequences.

Love: It will be much better if you pay more attention to your partner over the next period. They will appreciate your attention. If you are in search of a partner, do not search for them on internet dating sites.

Health: A proper dose of vegetables will give you energy throughout the next period.

Work & Money: Not everything is as bad as it seems in finance. You should divide your expenses into those that you actually have to pay and those that you do not. Demonstrate your diligence, skill, and readiness. These features are important to your long-term success.

LEO

Today is not the best time to socialize. Stop for a moment and take a breath. It is better if you prefer nature and the smell of fresh air today. If you refresh your body, refreshment also affects your mind and your positivity. Take a walk with someone you care about.

Love: You may think that the whole world is against you. If you feel at a crazy life pace, remember that your worries will disappear in your partner’s arms. If you are without a partner, it’s time to stop worrying about your sadness and loneliness.

Health: Better exercise less, but with regularity. It is better to practice less than intensively and suddenly. Your body could wear out.

Work & Money: Finance is not as important as it seems. Sometimes less is more, so don’t put all your energy only to work.

VIRGO

Your negative feeling and perception of the environment today will be mainly about your set-up. Try not to let those little things that sometimes bother you get to you. Sometimes others around you say words that they regret. You know how difficult it is sometimes to admit a mistake and to apologize. But look at the world more positively and it will become more positive.

Love: In the coming period, support your partner and show your love, affection and admiration more often. If you are single, you can attend a cooking class or start learning a new language where you will surely meet new people.

Health: If you suffer from back pain, you need to move more. During this period, a regular walks must become a part of your life.

Work & Money: Don’t buy things you don’t really need. Save more. Difficult work will exhaust you more than usual. Take a break in the evening and forget about your work problems. All will change in the coming days.

LIBRA

No disagreement is so strong that it will let you forget the strong and beautiful feelings of love. It’s time to cook a great dinner, light up candles and devote yourself to a loved one. Think about getting a pet.

Love: You cannot want your partner to love you just because you smile at them. You need to show how you care about them and what they really mean to you. For singles, the rule is to be interested in singles and stop looking at potential partners who already have someone.

Health: If you suffer from headaches, try to focus on maintaining a quality and especially regular drinking regime.

Work & Money: A period of greater financial abundance is waiting for you. Remember to relax more and forget about work problems more often. Even a prolonged weekend will help.

November 2, 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. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. 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 word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

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

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on November 2 has an illumination of 64%. 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 2 the Moon is 8.69 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.

November 1 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 1

This image, taken by astronomers using the US Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera on the Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, a Program of NSF’s NOIRLab, captures the star-forming nebula NGC 6357, which is located 8000 light-years away in the direction of the constellation Scorpius. This image reveals bright, young stars surrounded by billowing clouds of dust and gas inside NGC 6357, which is also known as the Lobster Nebula.

NGC 6357: The Lobster Nebula

Explanation: Why is the Lobster Nebula forming some of the most massive stars known? No one is yet sure. Cataloged as NGC 6357, the Lobster Nebula houses the open star cluster Pismis 24 near its center — a home to unusually bright and massive stars. The overall red glow near the inner star forming region results from the emission of ionized hydrogen gas. The surrounding nebula, featured here, holds a complex tapestry of gas, dark dust, stars still forming, and newly born stars. The intricate patterns are caused by complex interactions between interstellar windsradiation pressuresmagnetic fields, and gravity. The image was taken with DOE‘s Dark Energy Camera on the 4-meter Blanco Telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. NGC 6357 spans about 400 light years and lies about 8,000 light years away toward the constellation of the Scorpion.
