There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Sagittarius.
Although this is a pleasant day at home, especially entertaining others; nevertheless, you might feel restricted financially. Or perhaps something that you own will create some challenges? Fortunately, this is nothing you cannot handle.
Tread carefully today. The good news is relations with others are warm and friendly. People are mutually sympathetic. However, the bad news is that someone in authority (a parent, boss or police person?) might rain on your parade or make things difficult for you. Be patient and polite.
This is a favourable day for financial matters. If shopping, you will be inclined to buy beautiful, luxurious items. Meanwhile, something going on behind the scenes could be problematic. Do be aware of this. If something looks like it could be a problem – don’t dismiss it. Look at it.
Today is a mixed bag; but on the whole, it’s a pleasant, positive day. Nevertheless, you might find that a friend or a group will not go along with your ideas. Someone might even say something that confirms your worst suspicions about yourself. Don’t listen to this! Phffft!
You feel happy and content with your world today, which is why this can be a lovely day for you. However, someone in a position of authority might get under your skin or get in the way of something that you want to do. Go with the flow and accommodate this as well as you can. It is what it is.
This is a mellow day. In particular, it’s a warm day dealing with friends and members of groups. However, travel plans could be difficult. Possibly, rules and regulations or something in the news or the media will hold you back or prevent you from doing something you want.
You look good to others today! People admire you, especially people in authority. This might help you if you have disputes about shared property or shared responsibilities when dealing with others. Someone you encounter might be stubborn. (Bummer.)
Tread carefully because someone close to you might try to block your plans today. Perhaps they just want to do something different? Perhaps they don’t agree with your ideas? Meanwhile, opportunities to travel for pleasure exist. Could this be the escape you need?
Today the Moon is in your sign; furthermore, the position of Venus can attract benefits, favours and even money to you. (Yay, we like!) However, those of you at work might encounter resistance to your ideas. Therefore, proceed slowly and cautiously before you do any task. Believe in yourself.
Fair Venus opposite your sign guarantees warm relations with spouses, partners and friends now. (This feels good!) However, romantic relationships, sports events and dealings with children might create some challenges. Oh well, nothing is perfect. Cope as best you can.
In order to keep the peace, be patient with family members today, especially authority figures because they might be grumpy or critical of you. In turn, this might mean that you are quietly angered but feel you can’t speak up. Escape. Do something different. Get away from this.
Don’t be pushy or coercive when dealing with others today because you might be tempted to do so, especially if you have the law on your side. A sense of authority might embolden you to be rude or critical. Why do this? Life is easier when you get along with everyone.
Co-founder of Wikipedia Jimmy Wales (1966) shares your birthday today. Justice and fair play are important to you because you have ethical values. You are generous and benevolent to others. You are also entertaining and friendly! This year it’s time to enjoy life! Seek opportunities to entertain and socialize with others. Find ways to express your creativity. Get in touch with old friends.

In Wicca, we make it a point to honor both feminine and masculine energies, lunar and solar cycles. When we’re practicing our craft according to the lunar cycles, we honor the Moon Goddess with esbats. However, we also have eight solar festivals throughout the year, which are represented by the Wiccan Wheel of the Year.
The Wheel of the Year is a physical representation of the eight pagan festivals that celebrate nature’s life cycles. These eight Sabbats include four solar events — two solstices and two equinoxes — and four cross-quarter events. But how did this calendar come about in the first place?
Many historians postulate that ancient pagans marked the passing of time by celebrating certain solar events. On top of that, some of their celebrations were a way to mark events that had agricultural significance. Even so, we can’t say that the seasonal festivals we’re about to discuss ever existed in their current forms. So how did we get to the Wheel of the Year we observe today?
Well, believe it or not, the Wiccan Sabbats are a result of decades, if not centuries, of modern interpretations of ancient rites. In fact, some pretty famous scholars unknowingly participated in the…
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.
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 August 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.
The Waxing Gibbous on August 7 has an illumination of 72%. 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 August 7 the Moon is 9.56 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.
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.

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!
Avoid shopping or important decisions from 7 AM to 1 PM EDT today (4 AM to 10 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius.
A much better day! Invite friends and family over so you can entertain at home today. Actually, you will enjoy doing something to improve your digs and perhaps show off what you’ve done to others? (You are very clever and creative.) A mellow day.
Relations with others are much happier today; nevertheless, fiery Mars is still in your sign making you aggressive and assertive when talking to others. Continue to focus on parents and domestic matters. Playful activities with kids will delight. Be ready to go more than halfway when dealing with others today.
Be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert (see above) because today you’re in the mood to spend money! In particular, you want to buy luxurious, beautiful items. (Keep your receipts – and the box.) Some of you will boost your income.
This is a pleasant, easy-going day dealing with others. In particular, you will enjoy the arts, entertaining diversions, sports events with a family and fun, social times. You find it easy to be charming and diplomatic with everyone. (Kiss, kiss, hug, hug.)
You have been busy because the Sun is in your sign, which empowers you. This attracts people and favourable situations to you. Nevertheless, today, you might want to take a breather and relax in beautiful surroundings. Enjoy the beauty of your home or a private hideaway.
Relations with friends and groups will be warm and mutually sympathetic today because people are friendly and genuinely interested in each other. Furthermore, a friend might be sympathetic to you and have advice, especially about dealing with clubs or organizations. (A friend might become a lover.)
You look wonderful in the eyes of others today, which is why some of you might impress bosses and people in power. (In fact, some of you might strike up a romance with a boss.) Very likely, you will use your influence either personally or through a third-party to benefit someone in need.
Today you feel mellow and favourably disposed to others, which is why it will be easy for you to along with everyone. (In fact, the day begins with the Moon in your sign.) It’s the perfect time to discuss travel plans and creative, artistic projects. (Check Moon Alert.)
After the Moon Alert today, the Moon moves into your sign, which gives you a bit of good luck over all the other signs. You can test this by asking the universe for a favour. Indeed, gifts, goodies and advantages can come your way today. (Keep your pockets open!)
You will enjoy warm conversations with partners, close friends and groups today, which is why this is a great day to schmooze and be active in clubs and organizations. However, during the Moon Alert (see above) do not volunteer for anything. Wait until the alert is over.
You are high viz. today. People notice you more than usual and in fact, they might be discussing personal details about your private life. (Like, what’s with that?) Your interactions with coworkers will be warm and supportive today.
You have strong feelings of escapism today. This is why you want to “get away from all this.” Obviously, if you can travel, by all means do so. However, if you are making travel plans, wait until the Moon Alert is over.
Actress Michelle Yeoh (1962) shares your birthday today. You are intelligent and multitalented, as well as compassionate and benevolent to others. You are pragmatic and have the ability to fit in with all walks of life. This is a quieter, gentler year, in part because your main focus is on your closest relationships (friends, partners or spouses). Trust your intuition.

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.
