Moon Alert

After 2:30 AM EDT today, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The Moon is in Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your relationships with others are intense and passionate today. Strong changes might be taking place, Possibly, there’s a breakdown in a relationship. Or conversely, you might choose to ignore what is happening because you think change for the better is possible.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Tread carefully because you might become the victim of your own feelings today. The fact is that today, everyone will be more passionate and intense; however, in your case, the Moon in Taurus will amplify your feelings even more! Chill out.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Be patient when talking with a friend today or perhaps, even a member of a group to which you belong, because there will be a tendency to try to control a situation or perhaps even manipulate someone. Be wise and accept what is happening. It is what it is.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a poor day to dispute issues with parents, bosses or the police because things will get nasty in a New York minute. The reason for this is people are intense and they want to be in control. Naturally, when it comes to human relations – you can’t always control people. Stay cool.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Avoid controversial subjects like politics, racial issues and religion today because this will be a sensitive button that will explode into arguments and disputes. Therefore, be smart and don’t even go there. Who needs more angst? Not you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you might have strong feelings about shared property or getting your fair share of something, perhaps an inheritance or something that will be divided. Quite likely, you will be forced to accept the outcome, whatever it is. If you try to change things, you will meet with resistance.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Be aware that your dealings with those who are closest to you today will be intense. You might have a feeling that everything is at stake, and because of this, you want to control things. However, you won’t be able to control things. Better to observe what’s happening and accept what is. “Just the facts, Ma’am.”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might see ways to improve your health today. You might also see ways to improve your job or any task that you’re doing. You might see ways to improve how you deal with your pet. Nevertheless, someone will oppose your new ideas. Be ready for this.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Romantic relationships will be passionate and intense today. However, jealousy or a temptation to manipulate someone to get a desired response will be strong. Note: This will only get you in trouble. Accept the way things are instead of trying to change them.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are determined to make changes at home, or perhaps within the family today. This is understandable because home and family are strong values for your sign. Nevertheless, sometimes you have to step aside and let things unfold naturally. Be gracious.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Don’t try to convince others to believe as you do or to accept your views today, which you will be tempted to do. The better approach will be to “live and let live.” Some people will hear you; some people won’t. There’s nothing more you can do.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Issues related to something that you own, or perhaps money and finances, might be intense today. You have strong feelings about something, and you want your own way. However, someone else might oppose you. This is a poor day for conflict. Take the high road and accept what’s happening.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer, songwriter, musicologist Bruce Coburn (1945) shares your birthday today. Your nature is to be adventurous and stimulating, which is why you are friendly, curious and energetic about life. You love to explore new ideas and are an excellent communicator. This year will be a quieter year for you, in large measure because you will be more focused on your closest relationships.

May 27, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest Post

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.

FromMoongiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

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

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on May 27 has an illumination of 8%. 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 May 27 the Moon is 26.79 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.

2022 May 27

Titan: Moon over Saturn

Image Credit: NASAJPL-CaltechSpace Science Institute

Explanation: Like Earth’s moon, Saturn’s largest moon Titan is locked in synchronous rotation. This mosaic of images recorded by the Cassini spacecraft in May of 2012 shows its anti-Saturn side, the side always facing away from the ringed gas giant. The only moon in the solar system with a dense atmosphere, Titan is the only solar system world besides Earth known to have standing bodies of liquid on its surface and an earthlike cycle of liquid rain and evaporation. Its high altitude layer of atmospheric haze is evident in the Cassini view of the 5,000 kilometer diameter moon over Saturn’s rings and cloud tops. Near center is the dark dune-filled region known as Shangri-La. The Cassini-delivered Huygens probe rests below and left of center, after the most distant landing for a spacecraft from Earth.

A Thought for Today

Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may you blessed be.

May 26, 2022 Daily Horoscopes Digest

Click here for Georgia Nicols daily horoscopes

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions after 11 PM EDT today (8 PM to 11:30 PM PDT). The Moon is in Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you have an excellent balance between head and heart. This means you can balance your emotional needs with your obligations and sense of duty. Someone older, wiser or more experienced might have excellent advice for you. (Never hurts to listen.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Listen to bosses, parents and VIPs today, especially if it applies to research, you might be doing or anything that you are working on privately or behind the scenes. Their input could be valuable for you. Why not stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is an excellent day to think about your goals and how you can bring your hopes and dreams for the future into your reality. Start small with baby steps. Deal with what is possible right now. Explore future travel possibilities as well as education and training. It’s a start.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

People notice you today. Fear not because you look great in the eyes of others especially bosses, parents and VIPs. This is why someone might help you in a practical sense or give you valuable advice, especially regarding financial matters or something to do with shared property or banking.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is an excellent day to study because your mind is focused and you are patient. You will be able to channel this same productive focus into making travel plans or dealing with publishing, the media, medicine and the law. A productive day!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Roll up your sleeves and tackle red-tape issues that you might have been avoiding because today you have the focus, patience and concentration to deal with these tasks. This includes matters related to shared property, taxes, debt and insurance issues.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Someone close to you, perhaps a partner or friend, might share some wisdom with you today. Or perhaps they will give you advice? Don’t take offense because very likely, their advice will be practical and helpful. In fact, today you will prefer the company of serious people. (No flakes allowed.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a productive day for you because you are focused and persevering. This is why you will do careful work and pay attention to detail today. It’s also why you won’t make mistakes or need to do things over again. Be like the wise carpenter, “Measure twice, cut once.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your ability to teach children or younger people is top-notch today. For starters, you have the patience necessary to do this. You will find it easy to be calm and understanding. Possibly, the flipside will occur and you are the younger person receiving advice from someone older.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Family discussions will be cooperative and productive today. (You don’t feel particularly social; in fact, you’re happy to be alone with your thoughts and feelings today.) However, you will welcome the advice of someone older or wiser who has a point of view that you respect. You’re ready to listen.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a good day to study and learn something new because you have the patience and forbearance for this kind of task. You won’t overlook details. You’ll be careful in everything you do. Discussions with others will be calm, serious and focused on practical matters.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You will be thrifty and careful with your money today, which is why if you are shopping, you will most likely shop for long lasting, practical items. You might also see ways to cut costs and save money in certain areas. (Impressive.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor John Wayne (1907-1979) shares your birthday today. You are a dedicated, hard worker with focus. You’re observant and insightful about others.

From Moongiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Explanation: Magnificent spiral galaxy NGC 4565 is viewed edge-on from planet Earth. Also known as the Needle Galaxy for its narrow profile, bright NGC 4565 is a stop on many telescopic tours of the northern sky, in the faint but well-groomed constellation Coma BerenicesThis sharp, colorful image reveals the galaxy’s boxy, bulging central core cut by obscuring dust lanes that lace NGC 4565’s thin galactic plane. NGC 4565 itself lies about 40 million light-years distant and spans some 100,000 light-years. Easily spotted with small telescopes, sky enthusiasts consider NGC 4565 to be a prominent celestial masterpiece Messier missed.
