THE GREEN COMET



APOD: Comet ZTF over Mount Etna (2023 Jan 28)

Explanation: Comet-like plumes are blowing over the volcanic peaks of Mount Etna in this wintry mountain-and-skyscape from planet Earth. The stacked and blended combination of individual exposures recorded during the cold night of January 23, also capture naked-eye Comet ZTF just above Etna's snowy slopes. Of course increasing sunlight and the solar wind are responsible for the comet's greenish coma and broad dusty tail. This weekend Comet ZTF is dashing across northern skies between north star Polaris and the Big Dipper. From a dark site you can only just spot it as a fuzzy patch though. That's still an impressive achievement if you consider you are gazing at a visitor from the distant Oort cloud with your own eyes. But binoculars or a small telescope will make for an even more enjoyable view of this Comet ZTF in the coming days.

Astrology Today, Sat & Sun January 28th & 29th 2023

Venus & Neptune in Pisces is Shamanic energy.

Venus is the dispositor of the moon currently transiting through Taurus
& where the North Node of Fate is until May.

Saturday, The Taurus Moon squares the Sun in Aquarius, trines Mercury in Capricorn
& has a conjunction with both Uranus & The North Node of Fate.

We may just want to chill. Eat some good food, watch a good movie, get lost in a fantasy book,
take a slow walk in nature or INjoy some sensual intimacy.

No rushing about.

Surprise’s just show up. We attract magnetically. Honor our sense’s.

Feel into all of them and experience what it’s like to be fully human.

This is all Taurus energy.

Sunday after the moon squares Saturn (now out of its shadow) until the moon enters Gemini:
late afternoon/evening to early morning hours it’s a good time for night owls to get started on any new projects.

The energy is ripe and in flow.

The Sun in Aquarius Trines Mars in Gemini, Mercury in Capricorn trines Uranus & North Node.

The moon trines Pluto in Capricorn now out of shadow.

Trines are formed by planets usually in the same element,
they understand each other therefore the energy seamlessly flows in harmony.

A Trine is a good aspect to work with, caution is one can get too lazy, bored or even spoiled.

Prequel to Monday: it is definitely go time if you didn’t kick start your week Sunday night which is advisable.

The moon is in Gemini and having a powerful conversation with Mars.

The shift hits the fan. Big News Day! Watch for communications on worldly issues to spike
& be aware that personal correspondence could be more intense.

Walk in the light & spread the sparkle

Stonehenge

28 JAN 2023

January 28, 2023 at 5:01 AM ·

The rare moment of a ‘fog bow’ over Stonehenge was recently captured on camera by one of our team.

This phenomenon is like a rainbow, but as its name suggests,
it appears as a bow in fog rather than rain.

It’s also sometimes known as a ‘white rainbow’ because of its colourless appearance.

East for beginnings,
West for the ancestors,
North for heaven,
and South for growth.
Today, on 4 Road, the path can take you anywhere and everywhere.

DAY 5 of A cycle of 13 ·


31 January 2023 – 5 Aj (Ben)
I was once told that the highland Maya
used to do their “blessing of the animals” on 5 Aj,
though I have never actually seen this ceremony.

I think it might be from the “grandparents’ time,”
a tradition that even traditional folks
seldom practice any more, though they all know about it.

Aj is the day most commonly associated with “the home.”

Many of us share our home with animals.

They are part of us.

This is the day to honor them, hear them,
post on your own political causes about them,
and if possible hang out with them.

It is a day for the blessing of the animals.

A deep dive into the comet's nucleus (C/2022 E3 ZTF).
Taken with 1624mm focal length on Jan 28.
All stars have been rejected with the Median mode.
Although lower focal lengths (wider angles of view) make this comet more attractive with its tail and anti-tail, I chose not to jeopardize the stable configuration of the current setup, which has been developing for two years.
Consequently, the refractor will stay on the bench until very substantial notice. (A story to be continued)

DAY 6 of a 13 day cycle

01 FEB 2023

1 February 2023 – 6 I’x (Ix)

The Jaguar (Ix) is the guardian of the earth’s sacred places,
and 6 is one of the most practical and energetic of numbers.

Today is your day to do something solid and definite for the sacred world all around us
– the Tzutujil Maya around Lake Atitlan sometimes call it the “Blossoming World.”

Do your part.

Leave it a little bit better than you found it.

I have often heard traditionalists say that this is also a good day
to tend the altar or “sacred space” in your own home.
