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.

April 22, 2022 Birthday Horoscope Digest

May the next year of your life be better than the past year! 

Click here to read anyone’s birthday horoscope from sunsigns.org

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS ON APRIL 22, you could be described as a perfectionist. You are boldly imaginative but practical. You are gorgeous, Taurus. You have a talent for making ideals a thing of reality. You do not have much patience for pettiness or argumentative people. You love to laugh so you are likely to have a good sense of humor.

Your friends love you! You are the center of their eyes. Everywhere you go, you make a new friend. You love the unusual and you will usually find excitement or drama with a few of your friends. The 22nd April birthday personality loves to live life dangerously or on a larger scale than most. You are extremely generous and you will trade in your player’s card for marriage if and only when you meet the right one.

This Taurus birthday person has been known to frown on a public display of affection as you have many friends. Some believe in marriage… some prefer to be single and free. You are in no hurry to wear a ball and chain. You had a traditional childhood with parents who taught values and morals.

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. Those born on this birthday have mounds of talents that could provide you a lavish life but sometimes, some of you may make bad business decisions.

Taureans can take life one week at a time not preparing for the future. When making a career choice, maybe choosing one that brings a certain gratification to your own life will be of great benefit to you. With your talent, Taurus, you can end up being financially secure if only you applied yourself.

The April 22 birthday personality can be an aggressive Taurus when it comes to reaching your long or short-term goals. You like messing around with computers and you are curious about scientific matters.

The 22 April birthday analysis shows that your basic instinct is what brought on your quest for knowledge about things that come by “accident.” You seem to know how to handle yourself in most situations especially in circumstances relating to business.

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. Perhaps taking time to calm down will ease your troubled mind. It is necessary to have a clear mind.

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.

2022 April 22

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.

A Thought for Today

This is wishing all witches everywhere could come out of the broom closet without fear of being persecuted in anyway even if it is a family member who would shun them.

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

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today professional and business concerns are your focus. In addition, for some reason, your most intimate and personal life might be on public display. Like what’s with that? Perhaps it’s a public argument? (It’s hard to keep your shirt on when you need to get something off your chest.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you need to get outta Dodge. You want to be free of your daily routine and do something different for some thrills and fun stimulation. Travel would be an obvious choice. Enjoy meeting new friends, especially people who are different.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today your emotional experiences will be more intense than usual. Or possibly, you will attract someone to you who is very intense. (“Hi Darth.”) You might be envious of something that someone else owns because you’re focused on the wealth of others. It happens to us all.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the Moon is opposite your sign, which will draw your attention to your most personal relationships. Because of the placement of the Moon, conflicts will be more emotional. Guard against knee-jerk reactions when talking to others. Stay chill.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you might have to put your own considerations second to the wants and needs of someone else. Don’t worry; you’re not being a martyr, it’s just what’s happening. Nevertheless, you will be productive, and this will give you a sense of reward and satisfaction.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today the Moon is in your fellow Earth sign, which balances your energy and gives you a warm feeling in your tummy. This is why you will project yourself more than usual when dealing with others. You might also feel more protective and nurturing to children.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Grab every chance to slip away to your own private place today so that you can enjoy solitude in beautiful surroundings. Preferably with good food and drink. (One needs sustenance) It might occur to you today just how much your habits control your life.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You have a strong desire to talk to others today and tell them your ideas and share your opinions. You might even want to teach somebody something. Certainly, you want conversations to be real, which is why you will avoid superficial chitchat.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It’s easy to identify with your possessions today. You might feel a strong attachment to something that you own. Certainly, you don’t want to lend something to someone. You might also find yourself having to defend yourself about something, perhaps your values, to someone else.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which can bring you a tiny bit of extra good luck. It also increases your need to relate to friends and loved ones, which is why you will be warm and sympathetic to others. You will be there if someone needs you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you will be happiest working alone or behind the scenes because you need some time by yourself. Nevertheless, don’t hesitate to communicate your deep feelings to someone is willing to listen. We all need to be heard. (Time to send out for dark chocolate?)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your emotional contact with a friend or a member of a group will be highlighted today. In part, this could be because you feel more protective and supportive about someone. Your strong connection with this person is important to you, which is why you might feel jealous if they pay attention to someone else. (Jealousy is all the fun you think they’re having.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Queen Elizabeth II (1926) shares your birthday today. You push yourself hard and in doing so, you inspire others to achieve their goals. Despite your strong work ethic, you are playful and enjoy having a good time. This is a year of construction and building. This might apply in an external way or to internal structures you want to introduce into your life.

Apollo 16 Moon Panorama

Image Credit: Apollo 16, NASA; Panorama Assembly: Mike Constantine

Explanation: Fifty years ago, April 20, 1972, Apollo 16’s lunar module Orion touched down on the Moon’s near side in the south-central Descartes Highlands. While astronaut Ken Mattingly orbited overhead in Casper the friendly command and service module the Orion brought John Young and Charles Duke to the lunar surface. The pair would spend nearly three days on the Moon. Constructed from images (AS16-117-18814 to AS16-117-18820) taken near the end of their third and final surface excursion this panoramic view puts the lunar module in the distance toward the left. Their electric lunar roving vehicle in the foreground, Duke is operating the camera while Young aims the high gain communications antenna skyward, toward planet Earth.
