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

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. Although you appear lighthearted, you are philosophical and serious. This is the first year of a nine-year cycle for you. It’s time to explore new opportunities and discover new paths. Be courageous, flexible and ready to open doors!

NGC 4565: Galaxy on Edge

Image Credit & Copyright: Michael Sherick

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.

A Thought for Today

If we do a spell or ritual that messes with a person free will we are doing black/dark magick. Remember if you do this it will come back at you three times worse as stated in the Threefold Law also know as The Law of Three. This is against what the Wicce Rede says, “Do as ye will, less it harms none.”

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

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you might resurrect some ideas that you had before about making money. Now they have greater appeal to you; or you see they are actually doable. Because you’re in a resourceful frame of mind, you might also see new uses for something you already own. Clever!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might be obsessed about something today. It could be about discovering a secret about someone else, or about what’s going on behind the scenes? You might want to dig deeper into your own inner world to determine what really motivates you. Ah yes, “Know thyself.” (At least name and address.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Because your ability to research anything is fabulous today, you will love to persevere in whatever you do, especially if you can learn something new. You will leave no stone unturned. This determination will pay off by yielding results and possibly even secrets. (“Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!”)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might encounter someone powerful today, perhaps a friend or a member of a group to which you belong. Or perhaps, you are the one who is obsessed about a particular idea. Well, maybe it’s worth reconsideration? Keep an open mind so you don’t miss an opportunity to reassess something worthwhile.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

A conversation with a parent or a boss (especially someone from your past) will be intense today because both parties want to express their views. Because Mercury is retrograde, this is an excellent time to wrap up old business and see the merits of something that might have been overlooked in the past.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Steer clear of controversial subjects like race, religion and politics because people are intense, even volatile in their views today! They will likely not hear you because there are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones. Tread lightly.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You can get to the bottom of something regarding shared property, inheritances and possible secrets from the past. You might discover the truth about how much someone else owns or earns. This is an excellent day to finish matters related to taxes and debt.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A close friend or partner will have strong views today. Meanwhile, you’re not exactly a wilting, wallflower today yourself. Expect lively discussions to take place where each party is convinced that they are right. (Hey, remember that it’s always possible to learn something new.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You will accomplish a lot at work or in your job today because you are focused, persistent and persevering. You will get the most done if you tackle old business or something that was unfinished because the energy of Mercury retrograde will help you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Romantic clashes with old flames or ex-lovers are likely today because people are opinionated and entrenched in their views. This same influence can show up in sports encounters as well as anything to do with dealing with your kids or children’s activities. Keep it light.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Family discussions will be intense today because everyone has their own ideas about something and they’re going to stick to their views. Nevertheless, this same intense energy can be channeled into getting things done at home, especially tackling home repairs. Try it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might meet someone today who has a great effect upon your mind. They might teach you something because today you can certainly learn something new, especially about the past. You might hear from a neighbour or sibling you haven’t seen for a while. (“Natasha!” “Boris!”)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Cillian Murphy (1976) shares your birthday today. You are pretty cool because you don’t let much bother you. You are relaxed in social situations because you are talkative and witty. Privately, you are surprisingly serious. This year is the last year of a nine-year cycle for you, which means it’s time to take inventory. Let go of what you don’t need.

The Lively Center of the Lagoon Nebula

Image Credit: NASAESAHubbleProcessing & Copyright: Mehmet Hakan Özsaraç

Explanation: The center of the Lagoon Nebula is a whirlwind of spectacular star formation. Visible near the image center, at least two long funnel-shaped clouds, each roughly half a light-year long, have been formed by extreme stellar winds and intense energetic starlight. A tremendously bright nearby star, Herschel 36, lights the area. Vast walls of dust hide and redden other hot young stars. As energy from these stars pours into the cool dust and gas, large temperature differences in adjoining regions can be created generating shearing winds which may cause the funnelsThis picture, spanning about 10 light years, combines images taken in six colors by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope. The Lagoon Nebula, also known as M8, lies about 5000 light years distant toward the constellation of the Archer (Sagittarius).

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 5 PM to 6 PM EDT today (2 PM to 3 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Pisces into Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a red-letter day for you because your ruler Mars enters your sign today for the first time since 2020. Meanwhile, the Moon is in your sign lined up with lucky Jupiter in your sign; plus, Venus in your sign is dancing with Saturn. (Gasp!) A fabulous day for serious planning!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You will make great strides today if you deal with old business that you have been trying to finish. Help from an unexpected (or even hidden) source is likely. Please listen to bosses and authority figures because their assistance will be valuable. After all, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Friends and members of groups to which you belong will be a tremendous help to you today. Listen to what others have to say, especially if what they say might affect your future goals. Teamwork, including something involving competition will rev your engines! Note: Play by the rules.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You can accomplish a lot today because you’re ambitious; furthermore, people notice you. In fact, bosses and people in power are ready to help you. This is a strong day to negotiate issues about shared property or insurance. Meanwhile, relations with a boss are cozy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Choose today to make travel plans because everything will fall in place quite easily. Likewise, this same favourable influence will help those of you dealing with issues related to college and higher education. Ask for what you want. Study, explore and research because doors will open for you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is an excellent day to deal with banks and financial institutions because you will come out smelling like a rose. Expect gifts, favours, inheritances and possibly money from the government. In fact, it’s a strong day for any kind of financial negotiations with others because you are blessed!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Conversations with partners and close friends, as well as members of the general public, will be warm and friendly today. Nevertheless, because the Moon is opposite your sign today, you might have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. (This is no biggie.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Relations with coworkers will be friendly and mutually beneficial today. This will be a productive day for you because you will be happy doing whatever task you set for yourself. Work-related travel is likely for some. Those who work at home can improve their surroundings.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Enjoy socializing today! Accept all invitations. Take a long lunch. Enjoy the arts and the entertainment world. Sports events and fun activities with children will also please you. Needless to say, this is an excellent date day because romance will sizzle!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You will enjoy entertaining at home today. This is also an excellent day to explore real-estate deals or speculation. Many of you will make excellent headway with redecorating projects or renovations. Discussions with a female relative will be positive.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The power of positive thinking is a fact. Your attitude will always colour how you interpret and see events around you. Today you have a strong, positive attitude, which is why conversations with others are upbeat, friendly and productive. (You will also appreciate your daily surroundings.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a great day for business and commercial activity. Financial negotiations will go well. Respect your moneymaking ideas; in turn, you will want to spend money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. If shopping, check Moon Alert. (See above.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Will Sasso (1975) shares your birthday today. You have strong opinions and strong boundaries. You don’t hesitate to share your ideas. You have excellent business savvy; but you are sometimes firmly entrenched in your views. Good news! This year you will receive increased acknowledgement, public awareness, promotions and awards. Your efforts are recognized!
