Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today until 9:15 PM PDT. The Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Here’s another day where parents must be vigilant with their kids to avoid accidents. Meanwhile, social plans might change at the last minute. (This includes sports events.) This is also an unpredictable and rocky time for romance. Steady as she goes.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Once again, unpredictable events are taking place at home. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. Surprise company might appear at the door. Family arguments might upset your routine. Could be anything. Batten down the hatches!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Be careful because this is an accident-prone day for you, both physically and verbally. Therefore, think before you speak, or act, or do anything. On the upside, you might have spontaneous, genius-like ideas! Expect to meet new faces and see new places.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Keep an eye on your money and possessions because this week has been challenging! Sudden changes to earnings or something unexpected impacting something that you own, are just some examples of what might happen. Keep your eyes open.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week is full of surprises – no question! The bottom line is you have to stay on your toes. Get your rest so that you can deal with the unexpected. In fact, give yourself wiggle room so that you can maneuver and be ready to go with changing plans. Be patient with others.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might be privately upset with the views of someone else or something that’s going on in the news or in social media. Whatever concerns you might also be related to the law or a medical situation. Either way, work with what you can change; accept what you cannot change. It’s that simple.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Use your Libran diplomacy today if you find yourself at odds with a friend or a member of a group, which is highly likely. This week has been a testing time for dealing with others! However, you are not alone. Others have had to face this as well. Demonstrate grace under pressure.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Once again, you might find yourself at odds with parents, bosses, teachers, the police or partners and close friends. (It’s as if you can’t win!) Generally, if you fuel the flames of these disputes, it only makes things worse. Don’t say anything you will later regret. Stay frosty.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a touchy day. Work-related disputes might occur, especially about travel plans or matters with foreign countries. Issues in the news or in social media might also create unrest. Fortunately, romance is sweet and affectionate. Financial arrangements look solid, as well. (Be thankful for this.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today is an unpredictable day for social events, children’s activities, romance, financial speculation, sports and anything to do with shared property or insurance matters. Therefore, tread carefully! Think before you act and keep your eyes open. Bottom line: You don’t want to have any regrets.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

There’s so much going on at home with family members as well as partners and close friends, it’s hard to keep up. Your only choice is to keep your head down and your powder dry. Don’t be discouraged. Remember — the Ark was built by an amateur – the Titanic by professionals.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Unexpected issues might impact your health, a pet, or your job today. This has been the tenor of this week! Your only recourse is to go with the flow and make the best of what’s happening. You can do this.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer, musician Geddy Lee (1955) shares your birthday today. You are a gentle Leo who is practical and creative. You are also protective and nurturing of others. When you lead others, you do so in a subtle, gentle manner. Service to others is important this year, which means you must take care of yourself. Enroll in a class. Do a makeover. It’s important to stay grounded and balanced.

Hexagram Twenty – Nine / 29

K’an / Dangerously Deep

Water follows Water, spilling over any cliff, flowing past all obstacles, no matter the depth or distance, to the Sea.
The Superior Person learns flexibility from the mistakes he has made, and grows strong from the obstacles he has overcome, pressing on to show others the Way.

You are facing a crucial trial along your Journey.
The danger of this challenge is very real.
It is a test of your mettle.
If you can maintain your integrity and stay true to your convictions, you will overcome.
That’s not as easy as it seems when you are faced with the sacrifice of other things you’ve come to depend upon or hold dear.

It is the same as 11. See “Master number 11.” More serious, less social, and can tend to become cynical.

From World Numerology – Master Number 11

See “The Master number 11.” Highly intuitive, even psychic, this Master number is a channel between the sub-conscious and the conscious mind. Highly charged. Can be neurotic.

Animal Spirit Guide or Helper

From SpiritAnimal.info

Oh, the Blue Jay! Through the magic of symbolism, the Blue Jay teaches us to follow our feelings and intuition. As a spirit animal, it reminds us that our personal power is in our own hands and that we are free to take flight at any time, which is another way of saying that we have the freedom to choose our own path in life. The Blue Jay is playful yet serious, curious and yet sly, intelligent and cunning. It is also wise and perceptive. Whether a friend or foe, the Blue Jay teaches us how to be realistic and yet optimistic, careful and yet daring. In its expression of personal power, it symbolizes how we can rise above obstacles and challenges in our life.

The symbolism of the Blue Jay…

SOFIA’s Southern Lights

Image Credit & Copyright: Ian Griffin (Otago Museum)

Explanation: SOFIA, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, is a Boeing 747SP aircraft modified to carry a large reflecting telescope into the stratosphere. The ability of the airborne facility to climb above about 99 percent of Earth’s infrared-blocking atmosphere has allowed researchers to observe from almost anywhere over the planet. On a science mission flying deep into the southern auroral oval, astronomer Ian Griffin, director of New Zealand’s Otago Museum, captured this view from the observatory’s south facing starboard side on July 17. Bright star Canopus shines in the southern night above curtains of aurora australis, or southern lights. The plane was flying far south of New Zealand at the time at roughly 62 degrees southern latitude. Unfortunately, after a landing at Christchurch severe weather damaged SOFIA requiring repairs and the cancellation of the remainder of its final southern hemisphere deployment.

Living Liminally: Discerning Good Source Material

One thing that’s important for anyone who relies, to any degree, on sources outside themselves for spirituality – or anything else – is being able to judge a good source from a bad one. So today I want to just run down a quick list of ways to vett sources of any type to decide how much weight you should give to something. Even if a source isn’t perfect it may have value – or it may be immediately tossed out. It depends on how it measures up.


  1. What sources does this source use? – One of the first things I do with any new source, be it written, video, in person, or what-have-you, is to try to look at what sources that source is using. Are they talking purely from personal gnosis? Are they using academic texts? Are they using other authors based in personal gnosis? Are they using well known and respected sources? Are they referencing conspiracy theorists or known white supremacists? Do they have no sources at all that they admit to? All of these things need to be taken into account. Something that’s entirely personal gnoses isn’t necessarily bad but needs to be understood in that context, while something from a deeply flawed or problematic source will be eliminated. 
  2. Never once the Wikipedia – Okay this is  bit ranty right here, but as soon as I see wikipedia listed as a source for anything I’m done with that source. There’s a very good reason that wikipedia can’t be used in college, university, or even high school classes: its notoriously unreliable and oddly biased. Anyone can and does edit wikipedia and while its true that wikipedia cites sources and includes references pretty much any print or online source can be used and there is no quality control. Let me repeat; there is no quality control. The entry on Baobhan Sithe was sourced mainly from modern vampire guides, themselves largely repeating modern urban legends, and from RPG guidebooks. No really. The entry on Finnbheara contained an assertion straight from a fiction novel (I removed it, because remember anyone can edit wikipedia). Please don’t trust anything on wikipedia or any article using wiki as a source. Just don’t. 
  3. What is the author’s bias? – Every author or teacher has biases, that’s just human nature. Figuring out what to think of a source means understanding what that source’s biases are and …

Moon Alert

After 2:45 AM PDT today there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The New Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Note: Parents should be vigilant today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, social plans might catch you off guard. Something might be cancelled or you might receive an unexpected invitation to go somewhere? Sports events will have a surprising outcome. Good day for beginnings.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today’s New Moon is a good time to start a home project or begin something to do with real estate. However, family discussions will be erratic, possibly nerve-racking. Meanwhile, surprise company might drop by. (Stock the fridge so you’re ready for anything.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is an accident-prone day for you. Nevertheless, you are full of clever, genius-like ideas today! In fact, this is an excellent day to initiate a new project or begin something new and fresh. (Just be careful.) Ideas?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Watch your money and your belongings today because something unexpected could impact them. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Protect what you own from loss, theft or damage. Meanwhile, a new financial venture might begin.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the only New Moon in your sign all year is taking place, which means it’s the perfect day for you to begin something new or start a new adventure. Nevertheless, you might find yourself at odds with a parent, boss or someone in authority. (Duck and cover.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You feel restless today. You have that feeling that you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. (Invariably, ugly and in the wrong size.) Possibly, you are disturbed by social media, or something in the news, or someone’s political ideas or religious philosophy. Welcome to the club, we number millions.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might meet a real character today, which could be interesting. Or perhaps someone you already know will do something that surprises you? Something about your relationship to a group or an organization might also catch you off guard. Meanwhile, this is a good day to set new goals.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

“Do not trifle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.” This is a not-so-subtle warning for you today to steer clear of authority figures – parents, bosses and the police – who might be on the rampage. Don’t go looking for trouble today. It will find you!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Travel plans might suddenly change today. Likewise, issues related to the law, medicine and higher education might suddenly be reversed or go in a new direction. Whatever happens is anyone’s guess. Nevertheless, it’s an excellent day to make new plans. (Go figure.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Double check banking details and anything to do with shared property and inheritances because something might suddenly change today; and it could impact your wealth. Therefore, be in the know! (You snooze, you lose.) This is an excellent day to try a new arrangement. (See Moon Alert above.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Conversations with partners and close friends will be stimulating and fascinating today. Ideas are flashing through your head at an amazing speed, which is why exchanges with others will be impulsive and fast-paced. Don’t make promises without a Get Out of Jail card. A new relationship might begin today.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Interruptions because of staff shortages, or the breakdown of equipment, machinery problems, computer glitches and late deliveries might be frustrating today. Nevertheless, you might have some clever, new ideas about how to improve things for the future. Speak up with your suggestions because they might be worthwhile!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Humanitarian Terry Fox (1958-1981) shares your birthday today. People notice you because you are free-spirited and optimistic. It shows. You are compassionate because you understand the needs of others. You have amazing perseverance. This is a year of change and increased personal freedom for you. Be ready to meet new friends and explore new horizons!

July 28, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest

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 New Moon phase. During this phase the Moon is too close to the sun in the sky to be visible. The moon rises and sets with the sun and is not present in the night sky. Because of this the night sky is darker and an excellent time to view other celestial objects. Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today until 8:45 PM EDT (5:45 PM to 11:45 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Cancer into Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be patient with family members today, especially female relatives (this includes Mom) because this entire week is challenging for relations with others. People are quick to argue! Situations are volatile! Be smart. Be nice to family and relatives.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It’s important to be aware that fiery Mars is in your sign for the next four weeks. (This happens only once every two years and when it occurs it makes you aggressive, energetic and active!) Meanwhile, today, emotional disputes with others might occur. Be nice to the little people.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Disputes with others might arise today; or perhaps they are arguments about something that you own or something related to your earnings? Because you are tempted to spend money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones, someone might object to a recent purchase? Stay calm and keep your receipts.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign opposing Pluto, which is a strong indication that you’ll have power struggles with others. These power struggles can be manipulative and guilt inducing. Or they might just be tiny struggles of one upmanship. (Oy vey.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are empowered now because both the Sun and Mercury are in your sign. This makes you confident and articulate – ready to state your views to anyone. Nevertheless, today something going on behind the scenes might put you off. Just let it pass. (Drink lots of water.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Power struggles with a friend or a member of a group are likely today, especially with a female. Perhaps this is about goals or ideologies, or the direction or mandate of a club or a group, especially a nonprofit association. (Sometimes you have to go along to get along.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Power struggles with bosses, parents or the police might take place today. Fortunately, your ruler Venus is high in your chart, and this will increase your ability to be diplomatic and charming. Charm can diffuse a difficult situation! (Never underestimate the power of courtesy.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Powerful forces are at work today, which is why you might have an intense encounter with someone, especially about issues in the media or something to do with politics, religion or race. Whatever happens, these will reveal the inner workings of you both. (Oh yeah.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Get your facts straight before you go out on a limb or argue issues related to shared property, inheritances and insurance disputes because these kinds of power struggles might take place today. Do your homework so that you’re prepared to defend yourself with facts.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might encounter guilt, jealousy or over-possessiveness today when dealing with a friend, partner or spouse. All that nasty stuff. Basically, it’s probably about power and control. Try to be objective. With encounters like this, there are no winners.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Heated debates about issues at work might take place today. They might be about introducing reforms or better ways of doing things, while others resist because they like the way things have always been done. Or you might disagree with someone about health-related issue. “Stay calm and carry on.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Quarrels or difficulties dealing with your kids are something you might encounter today. Or perhaps a power struggle about a social situation – how something is done, when you leave, where you go, who picks up the tab – that sort of thing. Cope as best you can and be gracious.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress, comedian Maya Rudolph (1972) shares your birthday today. You are friendly, upbeat and warm when dealing with others. You are also observant and alert. People like your cheerful playfulness. This year you are working hard to build important foundations in your life. They might be physical structures or structures within that strengthen you. Be open to business dealings and new projects.
