A Thought for Today

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!

June 7, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Click here for Georgia Nicols daily horoscopes

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Unexpected events might catch you off guard today, especially something that is related to your health or your work. (This might also be something related to your pet; so be alert.) At work, allow extra time to deal with such surprises as machinery breakdowns, staff shortages and late deliveries. “What, again?”

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Parents, please keep an eye on your kids today because this is an accident-prone day for your children. Likewise, social events might suddenly change. They might be cancelled or you might receive a surprise invitation? Sports results will surprise. You feel free today!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your home routine might change today because small appliances might break down or something unexpected could occur. Someone unexpected might knock at your door. To be ready for anything, get dressed. It’s a mild influence but nevertheless, something will catch you off guard.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a mildly accident-prone day so be careful. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Especially when it comes to travel, give yourself extra time so you can cope with whatever occurs. The upside, you can think outside of the box and come up with clever, genius-like ideas!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Keep an eye on your money and your assets today because something unexpected might impact them. For example, possibly, you will find money or you will lose money. In the same vein, (but a different arm) be smart and protect your belongings from loss, theft or damage. Play it safe today.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with wild, wacky Uranus. This is why you feel restless and eager for something different and new to happen. You might even play the role of the trickster and stir the pot, as it were, when dealing with someone just to see what happens. (Be nice.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Something unexpected might occur today, possibly behind the scenes. In a way, this will intrigue you because you crave emotional excitement today. Preferably across the street – not in your face. Something you can watch from afar.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might find yourself dealing with friends or groups of people who advocate for new policies or reform in some fashion. Their platform will excite you. Possibly, you will want to give input to what they are doing? A friend might surprise you today.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might find yourself at odds with a group that you are working with or alternatively, they embrace you with admiration. Could go either way. Whatever the case, you are high viz. perhaps for taking a stand or saying something unusual.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Travel plans might change today. They could be cancelled or delayed or in turn, you might suddenly have to travel when you did not expect to do so. News in the media might surprise you. You certainly want the freedom to express your views.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Double check banking details and anything to do with taxes, debt, insurance issues and the wealth or assets of your partner because something unexpected could impact these areas. When it comes to money or wealth that affects you – be in the know.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Don’t be surprised if a partner or close friend catches you off guard today by saying or doing something you did not expect. (This is classic for a day when the Moon is stimulated by unpredictable Uranus.) Many people are caught off guard by minor events or conversations today. To play it safe, allow extra time for wiggle room.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Lance Reddick (1962) shares your birthday today. You are sharp, observant and vigilant. You work hard. You’re a good judge of character and easy-going with others. Personally, you have strong spiritual values. This year is the first year of a new, nine-year cycle for you. Many opportunities will come your way. Be courageous, open-minded and ready to open any door!

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a First Quarter phase. This phase occurs roughly 7 days after the New Moon when the moon is one quarter of the way through its orbit around the earth. Exactly half the moon will be illuminated and half dark. On the day of the First Quarter phase the moon is high overhead at sunset and is visible until mid-night when it sets in the west. The First Quarter phase is a one-day event and in the following days enters a Waxing Gibbous phase becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon.

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

The First Quarter on June 7 has an illumination of 49%. 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 June 7 the Moon is 7.27 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.

NGC 6188: Dragons of Ara

Image Credit & Copyright: Shaun Robertson

Explanation: Do dragons fight on the altar of the sky? Although it might appear that way, these dragons are illusions made of thin gas and dust. The emission nebula NGC 6188, home to the glowing clouds, is found about 4,000 light years away near the edge of a large molecular cloud unseen at visible wavelengths, in the southern constellation Ara (the Altar). Massive, young stars of the embedded Ara OB1 association were formed in that region only a few million years ago, sculpting the dark shapes and powering the nebular glow with stellar winds and intense ultraviolet radiation. The recent star formation itself was likely triggered by winds and supernova explosions, from previous generations of massive stars, that swept up and compressed the molecular gas. Joining NGC 6188 on this cosmic canvas, visible toward the lower right, is rare emission nebula NGC 6164, also created by one of the region’s massive O-type stars. Similar in appearance to many planetary nebulae, NGC 6164’s striking, symmetric gaseous shroud and faint halo surround its bright central star near the bottom edge. This impressively wide field of view spans over 2 degrees (four full Moons), corresponding to over 150 light years at the estimated distance of NGC 6188.

Milky Way Galaxy Doomed: Collision with Andromeda Pending

Image Credit: NASAESAZ. Levay and R. van der Marel (STScI); T. Hallas; and A. Mellinger

Explanation: Will our Milky Way Galaxy collide one day with its larger neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy? Most likely, yes. Careful plotting of slight displacements of M31’s stars relative to background galaxies on recent Hubble Space Telescope images indicate that the center of M31 could be on a direct collision course with the center of our home galaxy. Still, the errors in sideways velocity appear sufficiently large to admit a good chance that the central parts of the two galaxies will miss, slightly, but will become close enough for their outer halos to become gravitationally entangled. Once that happens, the two galaxies will become bound, dance around, and eventually merge to become one large elliptical galaxy — over the next few billion years. Pictured here is a combination of images depicting the sky of a world (Earth?) in the distant future when the outer parts of each galaxy begin to collide. The exact future of our Milky Way and the entire surrounding Local Group of Galaxies is likely to remain an active topic of research for years to come.

All Signs

This week there is a lovely grand trine in the Earth signs: Moon in Virgo, Pluto in Capricorn and Mercury in Taurus. (The gang’s all here!) This will help everyone to work hard to achieve goals that will lead to success. Therefore, think about what you want to achieve and focus on it. Make a list. Maybe you want to clean something that has been challenging? Maybe you want to boost your income? Whatever it is you want to do – get ready to tackle it because you will make great strides! Mid-week, it’s easy to be sidetracked with daydreams, but that’s a temporary detour. The key is perseverance. Veni Vidi Velcro: I came, I saw, I stuck around.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Because this is a fantastic week to accomplish a lot, you will be busy! (You’re not going to sit around getting dusty.) This lovely Earth trine is perfect for you because it activates three separate parts of your chart: your House of Earnings, your House of Employment and your House of Career. Holy moly! You don’t want to miss this opportunity! Furthermore, your ruler Mars is in your sign lined up with lucky Jupiter, which gives you the energy, drive and confidence you need to go after your dreams. A dash of unexpected good luck will help you. To me that sounds like a recipe for success. Get busy!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Well, you’re sitting pretty this week because fair Venus and Mercury are in your sign; plus Mercury is part of this wonderful grand trine in your fellow Earth Signs. (See All Signs above.) Many of you will use this practical drive to explore creative options, perhaps working in the arts, the entertainment world, working with children or professional (or amateur) sports. However, another aspect of this favourable influence is that you might transform your appearance or the image you project to the world. Somehow, you will improve your game face. It could be a haircut, a wardrobe change, new glasses, or a determination to buff your bod. Whatever the case, you’ll be pleased with the results!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This lovely grand trine in the Earth Signs will help you to work behind the scenes and introduce improvements to your home or where you live. These improvements might include your relationship to a family member, especially a female. Because the Sun is in your sign now, you are unusually empowered! (The Sun is in your sign for only four weeks a year, so you want to make this work for you.) Some kind of boon or a piece of good luck might occur that is private. You know about it, but nobody else does. You can also harness the energy of others, friends and groups, to help you achieve your objectives. However, always listen to the “friend” inside you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This week you still feel two opposing influences: the need to work alone or behind the scenes and keep a low profile; versus an aroused ambition to succeed. This lovely grand trine in the Earth Signs will prompt you to interact with others and engage with people in such a way that you will stir up support for yourself and whatever it is you are doing, or you want to achieve. In particular, young people as well as creative, artistic types, might help you. You will be convincing and persuasive because you will speak from the heart. (No surprise here because after all, you’re a feeler.) Someone might have advice for you about how to relate better to a partner or close friend. Be open to everything.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Like Aries, you benefit from the Grand Trine in the Earth signs because it hits three houses: your House of Earnings, your House of Career, and your House of Employment. What an advantage! Like a cool breeze on a hot day. Good fortune coming your way! As they say, luck is when preparation meets opportunity. So be prepared! People in power, bosses and parents can help you do something to boost your earnings. You can revise, improve or modify your job or how you do your job. You might even change your job. (Note, this same beneficial influence can improve your health.) Be ready to accept advice or to approach people in power. “More porridge?”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Lucky you! This wonderful Grand Trine mentioned in All Signs above occurs between three “planets”, and one of them is the Virgo Moon! (Yeah, yeah, the Moon is not a planet but for the sake of ease, astrologers refer to the Sun and the Moon as planets when talking about a chart.) This means you have an opportunity this week to explore or improve travel plans, opportunities in publishing and the media, or legal or medical matters. (This is a great time to travel or to make travel plans!) It’s also a propitious time to improve your relations with kids, especially by trying a new approach with something. Speaking of new approaches, you might also improve a romantic relationship. Woot!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Very likely, you will do some quiet research and private thinking about how to make improvements at home or within your family dynamic. And when you consider the possible improvements that you would like to explore, what is timely is the fact that you will find the financial backing or the resources and practical help from others that you need to do what you want to do. Sometimes we have great ideas but we can’t pull them off because we don’t have the money or the help. This week, it will all come together for you. Don’t be afraid to explore making improvements in your personal life. You can do this!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are a powerful sign, and not one to miss an opportunity when powerful energy is flowing. That’s what’s happening this week. Go forth and explore new ways of engaging with partners, friends, groups and organizations. Yes, we’re talking about how you relate to the people in your world. You can improve how you talk to your daily contacts, siblings, relatives and neighbours. Reach out and explore aspects of networking. Act on your urge to contact others in person, through social media, or attending an event or a meeting. We are gregarious creatures. We need people in our lives. We need to go out to see others and to be seen.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This week is all about how to improve your job, boost your career and your public reputation, and make more money. This is an auspicious time for you because the Grand Trine (mentioned in All Signs above) is taking place in Earth Signs. Earth is practical. Earth is “Let’s get it done.” Earth is about tangible wealth. It most certainly relates to work and earnings. For you, the three planets in this Trine (Virgo Moon, Mercury in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn) are each sitting in your House of Earnings, your House of Career, and your House of Employment. (Your House of Career is actually your path in life, not necessarily your job.) This means you can get a lot done and see ways to boost your income. Yay!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Obviously, the Earth Signs are getting a tremendous boost this week because the Grand Trine is taking place in earth: Moon in Virgo, Pluto in Capricorn and Mercury in Taurus. This bodes well for you! Travel plans, vacations, the entertainment world, fun activities with kids, the arts, sports and entertaining diversions are all areas that can flourish for you – and in an unexpected way, allow you to improve your appearance or improve the image you offer to the world. Let’s face it, you want respect. You like to look good. This week somehow, you will use a lot of fun energy and exploring new ideas and meeting people who are different – all of which will benefit you. Get ready!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This week, the lovely Grand Trine in Earth Signs will benefit your home and family and your private world. Unexpected assistance and help from surprising sources will be there for you, so that in turn, you might entertain at home. You might also redecorate or begin renovations at home. You might even explore a change of residence? Most definitely, family relations will be more lively and more active in a pleasant, social way. This week is a lovely time to entertain at home, especially because you are unusually optimistic, warm and friendly. “Come out to the coast, we’ll get together – we’ll have a few laughs.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The Grand Trine mentioned in All Signs above will boost your opportunities to schmooze on a daily basis this week. This will be a busy, popular week for you! Your dance card will be full because you will have appointments, errands, visits, conversations and fun opportunities to schmooze with neighbours, siblings, relatives and daily contacts. Some of you will also study and learn more. You might explore a writing project. Because you are inclined to focus on home and family right now, you might invite these people to your home. Or you might work more and write and study from your home. You definitely have something to say this week. Don’t hesitate to reach out and contact someone. “Hi, there…”
