Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a solid day to go through red-tape papers and get better organized, especially related to taxes, debt, inheritances and shared property. That’s because you have the patience and perseverance to deal with things you might usually avoid. Bravo!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Matt Bomer (1977) shares your birthday today. You are a witty, charming, enthusiastic optimist. People enjoy your company. You are thoughtful and well spoken. This year is the final year of a nine-year cycle for you, which means it’s time to take inventory. It’s also time to let go of people, places and possessions or anything that is holding you back.

Stars, Dust, Pillars, and Jets in the Pelican Nebula

Image Credit & Copyright: Adriano Almeida

Explanation: What dark structures arise within the Pelican Nebula? On the whole, the nebula appears like a bird (a pelican) and is seen toward the constellation of a different bird: Cygnus, a Swan. But inside, the Pelican Nebula is a place lit up by new stars and befouled by dark dust. Smoke-sized dust grains start as simple carbon compounds formed in the cool atmospheres of young stars but are dispersed by stellar winds and explosions. Two impressive Herbig-Haro jets are seen emitted by the star HH 555 on the right, and these jets are helping to destroy the light year-long dust pillar that contains it. Other pillars and jets are also visible. The featured image was scientifically-colored to emphasize light emitted by small amounts of heavy elements in a nebula made predominantly of the light elements hydrogen and helium. The Pelican Nebula (IC 5067 and IC 5070) is about 2,000 light-years away and can be found with a small telescope to the northeast of the bright star Deneb.

Anglo-Saxon and Frisian Rune

From The Rune Site – Anglo-Saxon and Frisian Runes – EAR

Ear

(This is the last rune from this set)

Sound: “ea” as in “dear”
Stands for: Soil of Earth (actually the dust our bodies become after death)
Casting meaning: Ear symbolizes the grave that we will all return to. However the only way that we can die is because there was life to begin with. “Without life, there is no death and without time there is no life.” More generally Ear signifies the unavoidable end of all things.

Witch’s Rune

From Other Worldly Oracle

Woman

Womb and vagina, creativity, birthing, motherhood, femininity, yoni

I read this rune as the Divine Feminine in us and all around us. One’s womb is full, with a baby physically, OR with a creative idea or project.

Druid Ogham

From Druid Ogham- For more information about Ruis

Ruis

Regret, pride, shame, embarrassment, learning from experience, resolution

Tree: Elder (Sambucus spp.)

Letter: R

Shame isn’t all bad and does not deserve a uniformly awful reputation. Without shame and the fear of being shamed, every human child would be demonically bratty. Shame is a limit that informs us to keep our own ego in check. It is often about considering others. Having shame about one’s own past behavior is motivation to avoid shameful behaviors such as cheating and stealing.

Shame is an emotion that demands confrontation. All too often, people run away from what shames them, attempt to excuse themselves from wrongful or immoral behavior because they’re too cowardly to face what they have done or to admit their responsibility in causing their own misfortunes or the misfortune of others. Ruis indicates a willingness to face one’s own shame and to do with shame what it was meant for, and that is to use shame of the past to build oneself into a better person for the present and future. Ashamed of something you did? How can you make yourself into the type of person who would never even think of doing something like that? Overcome being the type of person who would engage in the shameful behavior and you become the master of it; you won’t have the remotest chance of repeating such a mistake. Did you become embarrassed because you did something you now understand to be greedy? Then learn to balance thriftiness with generosity. Adjust to the circumstance rather than overreacting to it. Are you ashamed about cheating on a boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse? Become a person who would never cheat on your boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse regardless of conditions, which could mean an assortment of outcomes: sticking to a resolution of no cheating and staying together, admitting one’s sexual preferences and going with the flow, changing the person you are with, or being single for a long time.

Because humans tend to remember negative experiences more easily than positive ones, it’s important when you draw Ruis to acknowledge the things you are not ashamed of about yourself. For every bad or shameful thing you’ve done, remember there are a thousand shameful things you avoided. Maybe it is time to appreciate the places you could have gone horribly wrong and did not.

Questions when you draw Ruis: …

K’un / Receptive Force

Earth above and Earth below:
The Earth contains and sustains.
In this situation, the Superior Person should not take the initiative; he should follow the initiative of another.
He should seek receptive allies in the southwest; he should break ties with immovable allies in the northeast.

Responsive devotion.
Receptive influence.
Sublime Success if you keep to your course.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

This is a time for dealing with reality as it is, not as you would have it be.
If you realize that in this situation you are the receptor, not the transmitter of the stimulus, you will find yourself reaching goals that seemed unattainable under your own steam.
If you persist in futile efforts to be the Shaper rather than the Shaped, you will completely miss this unique opportunity.

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 KayseriTurkey
