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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.)
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.
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!
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.
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.)
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.)
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!

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 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.
The Waning Crescent on May 24 has an illumination of 32%. 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 24 the Moon is 23.89 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. For more info on the Moon Cycle and on each phase check out Wikipedia Lunar Phase page.

2022 May 24

Explanation: The plan was to capture a picturesque part of the sky that was hosting an unusual guest. The result included a bonus — an additional and unexpected guest. The beautiful background features part of the central band of our Milky Way galaxy on the far left, and the colorful clouds of Rho Ophiuchi in the image center. The unusual guest, a dimmed and reddened Moon on the right, was expected because the image was taken during last week’s total lunar eclipse. The timing had to be right because the Moon — both before and after eclipse — would be so bright it would overwhelm the background. The unexpected guest was the bright meteor across the image center. The fleeting meteor streak was captured on only one of the 10 consecutively-captured deep-field images from La Palma in the Spanish Canary Islands, while the eclipsed Moon image was taken immediately afterwards with the same camera and from the same location. The next total lunar eclipse — also quite expected — will occur in early November.

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Pisces.
This is a wonderful day to reach out to daily contacts, siblings, relatives and work to tie up loose ends. People will listen to you because you are vigourous and motivated. “Ten-shun!” It’s time to deal with old business and financial matters.
You begin this week in a strong, empowered way because retrograde Mercury is in your sign getting a boost from fiery Mars. This means even if you’re swamped with errors, delays and confusion (and people from your past), today you are authoritative and confident.
This is a great day to do research because you won’t stop until you find what you’re looking for. (Oh yeah, you’ll be like a dog with a bone.) Search for hidden answers and tough solutions to old problems. Expect success or at least, good progress.
Your involvement with younger people will be strong and energetic today. You might act this way or you might encounter someone who acts this way. This is an excellent day to review past goals and ponder their relevance to your current world.
Conversations with parents, bosses, teachers and the police will be lively today. When others speak, they will mean business. However, when you speak you will mean business as well! Use this energy to finish something that has been left undone. Just do it.
This is a wonderful day to study and learn something new because you have lots of mental energy. You can also apply this strong focus to legal matters that have been lingering, or something to do with a medical situation. You will make great progress!
You can start this week by getting rid of old business connected with taxes, debt, insurance issues and anything to do with shared property – all that red-tape stuff you’ve been trying to ignore. The secret is that today it will be easy to plow through these details. You will be energetic and productive!
A feisty discussion with an ex-partner or old friend might take place today. If so, you’ll have no trouble holding your own ground. The thing to remember is not to say anything that you will later regret. Note: Issues that are job-related will strongly favour you now.
Roll up your sleeves and get busy today because you will make great headway at work, or in your job, or tackling any task that you want to get done, especially something that you’ve been putting off. This is because today you are motivated and you have the energy to work hard. Use this to accomplish things!
This is the perfect day to tackle creative, artistic projects that you’ve been meaning to get to. Now you can finish that masterpiece, patchwork quilt, painted table, manuscript or whatever it is you’ve been working on. This is because you have an eager willingness to do this today. Do it now!
You’ll be encouraged by how much you get done puttering around your own doing home repairs and catching up on old business that has been bugging you. Finally! You’re back in action. If old friends or relatives are parked on the sofa – let them help you.
Group discussions and conversations with others will be dynamic and alive today because you’re ready to say what you mean and mean what you say! It’s also a good time for intellectual activities, especially exploring the past and wrapping up old business.

2022 May 23

Explanation: This picture of Andromeda shows not only where stars are now, but where stars will soon be. Of course, the big, beautiful Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is a spiral galaxy — and a mere 2.5 million light-years away. Both space-based and ground-based observatories have been here combined to produce this intriguing composite image of Andromeda, at wavelengths both inside and outside normally visible light. The visible light shows where M31’s stars are now — as highlighted in white and blue hues and imaged by the Hubble, Subaru, and Mayall telescopes. The infrared light shows where M31’s future stars will soon form — as highlighted in orange hues and imaged by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. The infrared light tracks enormous lanes of dust, warmed by stars, sweeping along Andromeda’s spiral arms. This dust is a tracer of the galaxy’s vast interstellar gas — the raw material for future star formation. These new stars will likely form over the next hundred million years, surely well before Andromeda merges with our Milky Way Galaxy in about 5 billion years.

Positive vibes are exploding this week! Except for seven weeks in Nov. & Dec. — lucky Jupiter is in dynamic Aries from May 10, 2022 to May 16, 2023. That’s a ten-month shot of adrenaline pumping into us! This week, Mars (the ruler of Aries) joins the dance, amplifying the energy of Jupiter, making it explode in astrological “goodness!” This will boost everyone’s confidence, erase their inhibitions, and make people believe they can achieve their dreams. But (there’s always a ‘but’) …. Mars in Aries rules war; so feisty confrontations are likely. Also, Mars is our ego. Ergo: “We are right!” (Gotta watch that ego/ergo thang.) “Whaat? If was wrong, don’t you think I’d know it?”
Your ruler Mars will be in your sign for the next six weeks, which is super energizing! Although this can happen once every two years, this time it will be an over-the-top experience for you because at the same time as Mars is in your sign, Jupiter will be in your sign as well. (This can happen only once every 12 years.) This means you’re cooking on all six burners. You feel courageous, eager, enthusiastic and totally confident about carrying out your plans. You’re ready to think big and nothing will hold you back. Obviously, this fortuitous combination can help you accomplish something. Grab the baton and run!
Mercury is retrograde in your sign until June 3; however, the shadow phase of Mercury retrograde will last as long as June 19. (Be smart and postpone buying ground transportation, computers and cell phones until after June 19.) Despite the annoyances of misplacing items, forgetting appointments and dealing with goofy mistakes, when Mercury is retrograde in your sign, it helps you to study the past, and learn more about who you are by seeing where you came from because you are the sum of all that you have ever been. It’s a time of reflection and wisdom that can be attained by deduction and revelation. You can make this work for you.
You are empowered because the Sun is in your sign until Tuesday, June 21. This means the next month is your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. This is timely because you’re looking at a popular time ahead! For the next year, Jupiter will boost your interactions with others and increase your involvement in clubs and organizations. For the next seven weeks, fiery Mars will urge you to formulate goals and pursue them. It also might throw you into a competitive situation with someone else, especially in athletics. Fortunately, it will stimulate your physical activity. You might get a promotion or a boost in your income. Looking swell!
This is a fabulous time for your reputation, your career and the impression you create on your peers because for the next year, Jupiter will be at the top of your chart giving anyone the impression that you are successful. (Hopefully, where there’s smoke, there’s fire.) Very likely, something will substantiate all this admiration. You will get a raise, a promotion, an award, or earn accolades and public recognition for your efforts. For the next month, Mars at the top of your chart, will arouse your ambition to go after what you want. Meanwhile, Venus is also at the top of your chart smoothing all your dealings with authority figures. Possibly promoting romance?
You’ll be popular for the next four weeks because your attention will be on friends and groups. This is because friendships will be important to you. You might examine your role in these relationships, and wonder if you are being a good friend to others. Should you do more to cultivate warm friendships? Meanwhile, lots of activity is taking place in the sign of Aries because Jupiter, Mars and Venus are gathered together in this sign. This ensemble will boost your desire to travel and do what you can to get a change of scenery. It might also increase your ambitions in publishing, medicine and the law. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde will attract bosses and authority figures from your past back into your world.
Once a year, the Sun travels across the top of your chart for four weeks. That time has arrived, which is good news because it symbolizes that you are in a spotlight, and this light is flattering. Yes! (You look mahvalous dahlink.) Especially to bosses, parents and VIPs. And you don’t even have to do anything special. (It’s smoke and mirrors.) Obviously, you can take this to the bank. (Oh yes.) Lucky, moneybags Jupiter, Mars and fair Venus are all in one of your Money Houses! Jupiter will stay there for the next year, which will increase your wealth from other sources – the government, loans, inheritances or indirect benefit through your partner. Romance is hot as well!
In the next four weeks, you want to get outta Dodge and grab a change of scenery to feel more stimulated about life. You want to study, travel, seek adventure and meet new, interesting people. Yeah! Likely, this will include partners or close friends because this part of your chart is activated for the rest of year. Venus and Jupiter will introduce positive, upbeat vibes with those who are close to you; however, Mars has just entered the room to stay for the next seven weeks. Mars represents war so it will create conflict. (See All Signs above.) On the upside, Mars will give you the courage to speak your peace, which might be a good thing.
In the next four weeks, you will be more in touch with a deeper part of yourself. You want to experience life on a feeling level, not an intellectual abstraction. (You might meet someone who triggers this process.) You might find you are more concerned about finances bills, insurance issues, shared property and money from others. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde will attract ex-partners and old friends from your past. “Homer!” “Marge?” However, one thing is certain, anything related to your job will slowly start to improve – no question. Opportunities to improve your existing job or get a better job will come to you. Relations with coworkers will also improve. This is nice.
Once a year, the Sun sits opposite your sign for four weeks. That time has arrived. This means you are focused on partners, spouses and close friends. “Sup, hon?” It’s important to know that while you are focused on this relationship, it’s an ideal time for you to learn more about your own style of relating to others because you have more objectivity right now. Meanwhile, the Sun is your source of energy, and symbolically, it is as far away from your sign as it can get all year. This means you will need more sleep. It’s also a good time to consult experts – lawyers, counsellors, accountants or an astrologer. But in the bigger picture, it’s going to be party city for your sign because you want to have fun! Children will be a source of joy. (Nice.)
Roll up your sleeves because in the next four weeks, you will be productive, busy, hard-working and you will accomplish a lot. Oh yes. You will set your standards high, which is why whatever you do – you want to do it as efficiently as possible. (Like the wise carpenter: Measure twice, cut once.) You’ll be happy in the next four weeks because you like to be efficient. It pleases you. Meanwhile, a strong energy is focusing on home and family for you that will last all year. However, a strong burst of energy in your personal life will take place in the next several weeks. You might do renovations, redecorating projects, repairs or just shove some furniture around. Enjoy your home!
This is one of the most playful times of the year for your sign because for the next four weeks, the Sun will travel through the part of your chart that deals with vacations, parties, playful activities with kids, sports, the entertainment world and just having fun. Yay me! Your creative vibes will be hot. You want to socialize, as well as express your talents. Retrograde will put you in touch with family members you haven’t seen for a while. Meanwhile, optimism will be the theme of all your communications in the next year. And in the next several weeks, you will mean what you say and say what you mean! “‘Ten shun!”
Home, family and your private life will be your main focus for the next four weeks. No question. Many of you will also be more involved with a parent than usual. Meanwhile, this is a wicked Mercury retrograde for your sign right now so expect transportation delays, car problems, mixed-up communications, missed appointments and lots of delays. (Major groan.) However, you will also enjoy coming in contact with relatives, siblings and neighbours you haven’t seen for a while. This will be a great time to study history and do research into the past. But the really good news is that for the next year, you’re going to get richer! Ka-ching! Would I kid you? (Not about money.)

Avoid decisions and shopping from 3 AM to 12 noon EDT today (from midnight to 9 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces.
Move forward with plans, possibly plans that are taking place behind the scenes. Or perhaps these are plans others are not aware of? Whatever the case, do your research and rely on your ability to turn the abstract into the concrete because you can move mountains today!
This is a wonderful day to work with others because today’s energy will bring you greater benefit if you work with others as opposed to working only for your own benefit. (It’s kind of a “share your wealth” principle.) Combined energy is the way to go.
You are determined and ambitious. However, today, Mars at the top of your chart, is dancing with big daddy Pluto, which totally empowers your ambition! Ideally, work with others to attain your goals – or the goals of everyone.
You will be powerful dealing with legal matters today. You will also be powerful if you have to defend your beliefs. However, the best way to use today’s energy is to combine your efforts with those of others to explore new ideas or travel or to learn something new.
Today you will have no trouble defending your best interests if you are disputing your fair share of something. You will also be a formidable force to deal with in disputes with the government or about financial matters or shared property. Today, you mean business!
You might feel tension with someone today. Perhaps they’re too bossy? Nevertheless, if you can figure out how to combine your efforts with those of someone else, especially someone close to you, and make the result a win-win situation — this is your best choice.
You can get a tremendous amount of work done today because you have inexhaustible energy! Nevertheless, it’s important to know that you will benefit more, and perhaps get even more done, if you work in conjunction with others. Especially if this relates to your job.
Your creative energies are exploding today, which is why it’s appropriate for you to demand to be yourself and express to others exactly who you are. You might do this in a playful way, or you might be passionate about expressing your talents. (You’ll be a powerhouse in sports!)
Today you can make big improvements at home. Don’t hesitate to tackle big projects involving renovations, repairs or shoving furniture around. You will achieve the best results if you can work in conjunction with others so that everyone achieves what they want.
Your ability to convince and persuade others today is stellar! If you work in communications via sales, marketing, acting, teaching or writing – you will make your point. However, don’t try to coerce others into believing as you do. Instead, focus on your own mental work.
You have lots of loose energy flying around today, which can be put to good use by finding a new application for something you already own. This could be an item of furniture or an item of clothing. The point is that today you are energetic and resourceful!
Zowie! Mars is in your sign today empowered by dancing with big daddy Pluto. This will create an energy in you what makes you work zealously for any goal you aim for. Work to improve your environment or improve your appearance or your body in some way. You’ll get results!
