EarthSky News:Delta Aquariid meteor shower: All you need to know in 2023
Every year, 2 meteor showers – the famous Perseids and the lesser known Delta Aquariids – converge in late summer. Both have already started. The Delta Aquariids always peak in late July, but – in the week beginning July 24 – the moon sets between midnight and dawn, leaving some moon-free hours before dawn for watching for both Delta Aquariids and Perseids.

Patheos-Pagan: Reapers, Psychopomps, and Keepers are not Death
JULY 24, 2023 BY ESA
The Grim Reaper has become the most popular and recognizable figure for Death across the world. Its image found in books, movies, and stories throughout ages as Death itself. The thing that makes me pause here though, is the Reaper is a psychopomp – not Death itself

Inner Journey:
THE PUSH & PULL OF RELATIONSHIPS
“It’s surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you’re not comfortable within yourself, you can’t be comfortable with others.”
— Sydney J. Harris
Relationships are such a challenge because life pulls us in opposite directions at the same time.
Our personality feels the need to be unique and special and so our focus lies on how we are different from others. Differences hold the potential to create conflict.
At the same time, our souls live through connection with others. We are challenged to rise above our personal preferences to discover how we and the other are the same.
Our overall need lies in balancing these two tendencies.
“The purpose of relationships is not happiness, but transformation.”
— Andrew Schneider

A Note from the Universe
Far be it from me to ask about your personal life. Besides, I already know it like the back of my hand.
But could you stand a bit more “vroom-vroom”? A little more laughter? Some “high-fives,” “oh-yeahs,” and slow motion knuckle-to-knuckle greetings from buddies, admirers, and fans?
Hubba, hubba?
Then let these be what you visualize. See and feel the joy. Hear the laughter. Imagine the bank accounts. And these images will literally summon the resources, ideas, hows, and circumstances that will yield such manifestations as you move through the affairs of the world in the direction of your dreams.

Today’s Tarot: Wednesday The Moon
It’s possible that you’re putting yourself under more stress and pressure than anyone or anything else going on around you. It’s not necessary to beat yourself up emotionally like this. Things are fine and you can make things even better if you curtail the urge to obsessively dwell on only what and who is letting you down. Be your own best friend and give yourself credit for what you’re doing right.
Today’s Tarot: Thursday The Fool
The day may be full of confusion but you don’t have to go through it naively and unaware of what’s happening around you. It’s not a good day to flirt with taking silly risks, some of which might turn out to be semi-dangerous or costly. You may be too hyper to want to play it safe, but at least make an effort to not be naïve or irresponsible.
