Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Taurus.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Keep an eye on your money and possessions today because something unexpected could impact your assets. For example, you might find money or you might lose money. Likewise, something you own might be stolen, lost or damaged. Be alert.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today the Moon is in your sign lined up with unpredictable Uranus, which will make you feel impulsive and electrically charged. This can give you high energy and enthusiasm. However, it can also make you impulsive and capable of rash actions. Be aware of this and think before you act or speak.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is a restless day! You have that feeling that you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. Basically, the Moon is in a hidden part of your chart lined up with unpredictable Uranus, which makes you feel vaguely uneasy. Don’t worry, this feeling is brief. Gone by tomorrow.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
A friend might surprise you today. Or perhaps someone in a group will do something you least expected? If you are caught off guard, the key is not to overreact or say something without thinking. Be cool. Give yourself a chance to have a sober second thought.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
When dealing with parents, bosses and people in authority today, you might feel suddenly defiant or rebellious. Even if you feel this way, what’s the upside? Generally, authority figures don’t like to be threatened. They don’t want discourteous resistance. Remember where your bread is buttered.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Travel plans might suddenly change today. They might be cancelled, delayed or conversely, you might suddenly have to travel when you did not expect to do so. Similarly, the media or something to do with medicine or the law might be the source of a surprise to you as well. Stay chill.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Be smart and double check issues related to banking, inheritances, taxes and debt because something to do with these areas could be the source of a surprise for you today. When it comes to money, wealth and assets, be smart and stay on top of things. You snooze, you lose.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Don’t be surprised if a partner or close friend throws you a curveball today. Or perhaps, you will meet someone unusual? Something will occur because the Moon is opposite your sign and it is lined up with unpredictable Uranus, which means the people you encounter might surprise you.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Your work routine will be interrupted today almost certainly. Staff shortages, power outages, delays, equipment breakdowns as well as surprises when dealing with someone are likely. Therefore, be smart and give yourself extra time so that you have wiggle room to deal with the unexpected.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Parents should be extra alert today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, social occasions might suddenly change. They could be cancelled or – surprise! You receive a fun invitation to go somewhere! Who knew? Could go either way.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Something to do with your home routine will change today. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Perhaps someone unexpected will knock on your door? For starters, get dressed so that you are ready to deal with the unexpected. Stay on your toes.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign, which means you should pay attention to everything and be mindful. Think before you speak or act. You might meet new people today, especially someone unusual. Or someone might intrigue you?
If Your Birthday Is Today
Writer (James Bond creator) Ian Fleming (1908-1964) shares your birthday today. People are drawn to you because you’re interesting, friendly and entertaining. Personally, you have a busy, analytical mind. You observe a lot. This year, you have a strong zest for life! This is why you will socialize more and explore warm friendships with others. You might gain public recognition.
May 28, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest
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.
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.
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 28 has an illumination of 4%. 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 28 the Moon is 27.72 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. For more info on the Moon Cycle and on each phase check out Wikipedia Lunar Phase page.

RCW 86: Historical Supernova Remnant
Image Credit & Copyright: Martin Pugh
Explanation: In 185 AD, Chinese astronomers recorded the appearance of a new star in the Nanmen asterism. That part of the sky is identified with Alpha and Beta Centauri on modern star charts. The new star was visible for months and is thought to be the earliest recorded supernova. This deep image shows emission nebula RCW 86, understood to be the remnant of that stellar explosion. The narrowband data trace gas ionized by the still expanding shock wave. Space-based images indicate an abundance of the element iron and lack of a neutron star or pulsar in the remnant, suggesting that the original supernova was Type Ia. Unlike the core collapse supernova explosion of a massive star, a Type Ia supernova is a thermonuclear detonation on a a white dwarf star that accretes material from a companion in a binary star system. Near the plane of our Milky Way galaxy and larger than a full moon on the sky this supernova remnant is too faint to be seen by eye though. RCW 86 is some 8,000 light-years distant and around 100 light-years across.

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.

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.

Titan: Moon over Saturn
Image Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech, Space 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. 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!
