Deosil and Withershins

When casting, dancing or chanting in a circle for ritual purposes. Wiccans refer to the direction described as either “deosil” or “Withershins.”  When “deosil” (comes from the Irish Gaelic meaning, “turn to the right) is specified, this means clockwise, the direction in which the Sun apparently moves in the Northern Hemisphere, and in which circles are usually cast for positive magick. “Withershins” (or widdershins”) whose roots are embedded in the German words wider (“against”) and Sinn (‘sense’), means counterclockwise, and this is the banishing direction used for negative magick.

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

A friend might surprise you today. Or perhaps, you will meet someone who is unusual or different in some way. This could be an enlightening encounter – or at the very least, entertaining. This person might say something to encourage your financial independence. Nevertheless: Don’t be impulsive. Think before you act.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Quite likely, a boss, parent or someone in a position of authority (including the police) might catch you off guard today. (“Busted!”) Forewarned is forearmed. This is definitely the day to toe the line and not test the limits of authority, even if you want to do so. Don’t give into feelings of rebellion.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

A sudden opportunity to travel might fall in your lap today. Likewise, you might have an unexpected chance to explore further education through a course or training or some kind of apprentice program. Surprises related to publishing, medicine and the law are also likely. If an opportunity does arise – act quickly because your window will be brief.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Double check details with banking and financial matters because something unexpected could impact these areas for you. Whatever occurs will require fast attention. It might also be something you did not see coming. You snooze, you lose.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

A partner or close friend might throw you a curveball today. They might say or do something you didn’t expect. Perhaps they want more freedom in the relationship? Alternatively, you might meet someone, even in the general public, who is unusual.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A few surprises will very likely change your work routine today. Computer glitches, staff shortages, late deliveries, power outages – these disturbances could be anything. Pet owners should keep an eye on their pet today to avoid accidents or mishaps. Meanwhile, you feel rebellious. Don’t quit your day job.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Parents should know that this is an accident-prone day for their kids. Meanwhile, social plans might suddenly change. Something could be cancelled; or alternatively, you might receive a surprise invitation to go somewhere? Whatever happens – act quickly.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your home routine will very likely change in some way today. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. Someone unexpected might knock at your door. Basically, you have to expect the unexpected, which means – get dressed. Oh yes, be prepared.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a mildly accident-prone day for you so pay attention to everything you say and do. Guard against knee-jerk reactions or impulsive decisions because you will be tempted to do this. When in doubt, give yourself a chance to give something a sober second thought.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today because something unexpected could impact them. For example, you might find money or you might lose money. Likewise, be wise and protect what you own against loss or theft or damage. This way, you’ll have no regrets.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Be careful not to jump to hasty conclusions today because it’s easy to do this. In part this is because you feel independent and rebellious. If someone suggests something you will be inclined to do the exact opposite. Basically, you are also craving excitement. Stay chill.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a restless day for you because in one way, you want to keep a low profile; and yet in another way, you want something exciting to happen. This feeling might make you feel very liberated or it might even be a tad nerve-racking. Stay frosty.

Messier 104

Explanation: A gorgeous spiral galaxy, Messier 104 is famous for its nearly edge-on profile featuring a broad ring of obscuring dust lanes. Seen in silhouette against an extensive central bulge of stars, the swath of cosmic dust lends a broad brimmed hat-like appearance to the galaxy suggesting a more popular moniker, the Sombrero Galaxy. This sharp view of the well-known galaxy was made from over 10 hours of Hubble Space Telescope image data, processed to bring out faint details often lost in the overwhelming glare of M104’s bright central bulge. Also known as NGC 4594, the Sombrero galaxy can be seen across the spectrum, and is host to a central supermassive black hole. About 50,000 light-years across and 28 million light-years away, M104 is one of the largest galaxies at the southern edge of the Virgo Galaxy Cluster. Still, the spiky foreground stars in this field of view lie well within our own Milky Way.

A Thought for Today

As followers of a pagan tradition, we strive to get better in touch with the natural world around us. Which to me means we live “Earth Day” 24 hours 7 days a week 365 days a year not just one day out of every year. The Earth Goddess goes by many different names, The Great Mother, Mother Earth, Gaia just to name a few, so what you choose to call her stems from the tradition you follow or your own personal connection with her. But it all boils down to one thing she is the Goddess that gives us life and provides for us all the years and lifetimes we spend living on her. Is it right for society as a whole to disrespect her every hour of every day? Do we do not owe it to her to watch over her every day?

I live in the United States of Ameria and am disgusted at the way people will not walk even two feet to throw something in a trash receptacle but instead throw whatever on the ground. Or throw trash and cigarette butts out the window of a car to let the wind carry it to the curb or out into an open field. I am proud to say that I was taught and taught my children who taught their children to always leave a place no matter where it is cleaner than what we found it. I walk my two magickal companions two to three times every day, no matter where I might be living, and always pick up whatever trash others have so carelessly left in inappropriate places. I just take a plastic shopping bag with me (thankfully I can start using reusable bags for all my shopping again) and one throw away glove to pick up the trash and have a place to put it until I get home and put it in my trash can. This is something I also have done with my children and grandchildren. Where I live now there is an old railway tracks to the south of me next to an undeveloped lot and even though there are only about a dozen houses, one very small business, a school bus parking lot, and a private school in the area the amount of trash that blows into the bushes and trees along the tracks per week amazes me. I really do not understand how people can be so careless and disrespect of the only place humans and all the animals have to live on.

A little trivia for you – a cigarette filter ingested by any bird or small animal can cause its death. The filter swells up in the stomach and cannot be passed through the digestive system therefore sentencing whatever ingested it to a slow death through starvation.

I am a smoker so what I do when outdoors walking or without an ashtray at hand is roll the part of the cigarette with tobacco in it until it falls out, this will go back to the Earth Goddess, and stick the filter part in a pocket or keep it in my hand until I can dispose of it properly.

Another bit of trivia – It has now been scientifically proven that humans have microscope bit of plastic in our blood.

A simple meditation to bring us closer to the Earth Goddess:

This should be done outdoors whenever possible or if you cannot go outside or next to a window with some type of live plant you can at least put a finger onto the dirt that gives it life. Have a medium to large drink of water with you.

Take 3 or more deep breathes to center yourself for the mediation. Then keep your breathing at a steady rhythm. (If you start to lose your relaxed meditative state of mind concentrate on your breathing by saying in your mind, “Inhale…Exhale” until you once again can connect to the Earth Goddess)

Sit on the ground or floor. If you cannot sit on the ground or floor a chair with not a lot of padding will work also. Place your hands on the Earth Goddess directly or onto the dirt in the planter. Feel tentacles or roots growing down into the Earth Goddess from everywhere your body is touching her or the chair and planter.

Feel all the energy that is flowing through her and give her a bit of your own in thanksgiving for all she provides.

Listen to the sounds of nature that are around you – the birds singing, a flowing brook or other waterway, the wind, wildlife, ectara.

Imagine yourself as part of the air or water flowing with the rhythm of the energy you feel from the Earth Goddess.

Sit this way as long as you feel you want to.

When you are done thank her for what she has provided for you, your family, and the world at large. Pour some of your drink on to the ground or a tiny bit into the planter as an offering of thanks.

Take 3 deep breathes to help bring you back from the meditative state. Drink your water while still sitting where you meditated and continue listening to all the nature sounds around you until you feel like getting up. Then go about your day or evening but be more aware of everything around you that has in one way, or another been given to you by the Great Mother/Mother Earth/Gaia/ or whatever name you call her by.

I ask that you follow your heart to help make our Earth Goddess happier with the beings that live on her by picking up trash left by others and not littering yourself. Thank her daily for all she provides for us from her surface and what she has birthed for us from her body shelter, clothing, food, heat, electricity, ectara.  There is not one thing we use or touch that did not start with a raw material that came from the Earth Goddess.

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

Untypical of a parenting Taurus, you give your children free reign to do as they please. This will never work. Take charge of the children before they rise up against you when they can‘t have everything they want when they want it. While being a lenient parent is okay by some standards, discipline will work wonders.

The April 22nd birthday horoscope also predicts that you seem to take a lax attitude when it comes to material possessions. You know the value of a dollar so this is so contrary of your values.

You take a real interest in the challenges you set for yourself, therefore, completing each task with competitive energy necessary to win the confidence of others. Usually, this zodiac birthday people are grounded but sometimes can be impulsive and make rash decisions. Yes, you can be the impatient one.

The April 22 birthday astrology predicts that these Taureans commonly are fit people. You have an appetite for unhealthy foods, however. You love to cook and to entertain, so sometimes, eating right is hard for you.

If you ate right and did any form of exercise, you would feel better. You could put more emphasis on things you enjoy such as water aerobics or biking. Those are excellent ways to work on cardio and toning.

The 22nd April birthday meanings show that you are cheerful people with a positive outlook. You love to laugh but can be irrational. You can be terribly impatient but attract unusual friends. You have many friends, therefore; you do not encourage public affection. In addition, you are not marriage minded but feel you will know when you meet the part of you that is missing.

April 22 Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

Planet Earth at Twilight

Image Credit: ISS Expedition 2 Crew, Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth, NASA

Explanation: No sudden, sharp boundary marks the passage of day into night in this gorgeous view of ocean and clouds over our fair planet Earth. Instead, the shadow line or terminator is diffuse and shows the gradual transition to darkness we experience as twilight. With the Sun illuminating the scene from the right, the cloud tops reflect gently reddened sunlight filtered through the dusty troposphere, the lowest layer of the planet’s nurturing atmosphere. A clear high altitude layer, visible along the dayside’s upper edge, scatters blue sunlight and fades into the blackness of space. This picture was taken in June of 2001 from the International Space Station orbiting at an altitude of 211 nautical miles. Of course from home, you can check out the Earth Now.
