Longest Lunar Eclipse (Full Blood Moon) of the 21st Century to Appear in July — Here’s How to See it

 
Do you have your eclipse glasses handy? Good, because the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century — also referred to as a glowing red ‘Blood moon’ — will make an appearance on July 27, 2018. The total eclipse will last for approximately 1 hour and 43 minutes. Only those in the Eastern hemisphere will be fortunate enough to view it.

EarthSky reports that on the night of July 27 and in the morning hours of July 28, the blood moon will be visible. Reportedly, it is the longest lunar eclipse projected to occur in the 21st century. Astronomers say the total eclipse will last for a full 1 hour and 43 minutes. The partial eclipse (which takes place before and after the anticipated event) will last for 3 hours and 55 minutes.
What is a lunar eclipse?

A lunar eclipse takes place when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are directly aligned. The moon’s orbit brings it directly into Earth’s shadow. Business Insider reports that the ellipse lasts so long because the moon passes directly into the darkest region of Earth’s shadow (also known as the umbra). This is what causes the moon to appear blood red.

 Curiously, July’s full moon will take place at the same time as the moon’s apogee. This is when the moon hits its furthest point from our planet in its monthly orbit. Reportedly, it’s the furthest full moon of the year. As a result, it will take more time for the moon to pass through Earth’s umbra, or dark shadow.

 The total eclipse will start at 7:30 pm UTC and will end at 9:13 pm UTC. 8:22 pm UTC will mark the peak of the eclipse.
Symbolic Meaning of July’s “Blood Moon”

 To discern the meaning of this month’s event, let’s look at the symbology of the moon and the color red. The moon represents our deepest longings, our basic needs, our habits, our unconscious mind, and our ability to respond (or react) to situations. Overall, it relates to how we feel and how we have programmed ourselves to think and behave.

 In the tarot deck, the moon represents illusions and intuition. This card appears either when you are lying to yourself or others — or when you suspect there is “more than meets the eye.” Finally, red ed symbolizes stubbornness, confidence, courage, passion, aggression, and standing out in the spotlight. Red is also about self-awareness and our ability to survive — and thrive.

 Put all three of these together, and what do you get? As Guiding Echoes suggested during a similar event, July’s full blood moon signifies a time of change, which primarily resulted/is resulting from a deep yearning for something “more,” as well as cognitive dissonance about the state of the planet and what’s “really going on.”

 To those who are paying attention, this is apparent in real life. Every day, it seems, new scandals are highlighted and those responsible are called out by those in the media and public participants. The anger that is erupting is a side effect of the corruption which has permeated global societies for hundreds — if not thousands — of years.

In order for change to occur, the “dust” (aka secrets) which have been swept under the figurative rug must be uncovered. It is normal for revelations to lead to passion — but some people are choosing to be swept away by their anger, rather than confront the root cause of many of mankind’s ails. What is being realized around this full moon is that another shift in consciousness is occurring. This happens at least once in every generation; each awakening leads us further down the path to self-realization and truth.

 As you “do the work” (meditate, adopt healthy habits, and cultivate kindness for others), especially around this full moon, you will find that you no longer need to lie to ensure your survival. You will also feel compelled to allow your “true self” to shine, not a fabricated lie to fit into society. These changes will not happen overnight, but they will be evident in time.

Top 22 Stephen Hawking Quotes and Lessons That Will Inspire You To Think Bigger and Never Get Discouraged In Life

 
World renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76.

 He died peacefully at his Cambridge home in the early hours of Wednesday, his family said.















Stephen Hawking is probably the most recognizable and admired scientist of recent times.  Diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a form of motor neurone disease, at age 21, he overcame debilitating illness to produce some of the most groundbreaking scientific theories in the last few centuries.

 Hawking’s goal has been no less than to understand the workings of the universe, devoting his life to uncovering “The Theory of Everything”. Stephen Hawking might be disabled in body, but certainly not in his ambitions.

 His life is an astonishing story of a man who faced enormous odds and went on to become one of the world’s most famous scientists..

A very young Stephen Hawkings getting married in 1965

He has been and will be the most influential face of courage and inspiration for generations to be.

Here are some of his most insightful quotes which will inspire you to think bigger and to never get discouraged in life.

1.  “My expectations were reduced to zero when I was 21. Everything since then has been a bonus.”

2.  “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.”



3. Although I cannot move and I have to speak through a computer, in my mind I am free.

4.  We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.

 5.Life would be tragic if it weren’t funny.

6. However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
7.  I think computer viruses should count as life … I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image

8.  My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you doing well, and don’t regret the things it interferes with. Don’t be disabled in spirit, as well as physically.

 9.  “One of the basic rules of the universe is that nothing is perfect. Perfection simply doesn’t exist…..Without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist” 

10.  “The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”
11.It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years.

12. I have noticed that even people who claim everything is predetermined and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.

Celtic Druid Astrology: What Does Your Tree Zodiac Sign Reveal About You?

 
You’ve probably heard about zodiac sign astrology, but have you ever heard of Celtic tree astrology? This type of astrology was created by members of the high-ranking professional class in ancient Celtic cultures, known as Druids. Celtic tree astrology was designed using the natural connection that Druids had to the Earth cycles, as well as the sacred knowledge held by the trees.
Here are the 13 tree signs as described by Celtic tree astrology:


1. Birch – The Achiever (December 24 – January 20)

These few weeks mark a time of darkness with little sunlight. The Druids believed that Birch babies were always stretching themselves thin, trying to find the light. Birch babies are said to be highly driven, motivational and ambitious. They’re often resilient, natural-born leaders with the ability to win others over due to their charm.


2. Rowan – The Thinker (January 21 – February 17)
Rowans are known for their philosophical, visionary minds. They are creative and original with a unique inner passion and deep motivation. Rowans often have a cool exterior that can transform energy in tense situations. Their unique nature allows them to be highly influential. These out-of-the-box thinkers dislike restriction and conformity.


3. Ash – The Enchanter (February 18 – March 17)
According to Celtic tree astrology, Ash are enchanting, imaginative, artistic free-thinkers. They see the world in vivid color. Ash can be moody at times, but they are inspired by nature. They enjoy art, writing, science and spirituality. Some view Ash as reclusive and introverted, but they simply love the world they created for themselves. They are both idealistic and realistic.

4. Alder – The Trailblazer (March 18 – April 14)

Alders are known to blaze their own trails with passion, often gaining followers and supporters along the way. They are charming and easy to talk to, confident, focused and self-assured. They have no tolerance for nonsense and they don’t like to waste time. Their brave, competitive nature often makes them great parents, leaders and entrepreneurs.

5. Willow – The Observer (April 15 – May 12)
Celtic astrology sees Willows as very connected to the moon. They are highly creative, intelligent, intuitive and realistic. Willows have a great understanding the cycles and seasons, which allows some of them to have psychic abilities. They love to learn and they constantly seek new knowledge, which makes them great teachers. Their fears will hold them back if they let them.


6. Hawthorn – The Illusionist (May 13 – June 9)

Hawthorns tend to be very different on the inside than the outside. They can be difficult to read, but they are typically very passionate, creative and curious. Hawthorns don’t judge, which makes them great listeners and insightful friends. They are able to see the big picture. Hawthorns are often great performers due to their illusionist persona.

7. Oak – The Stabilizer (June 10 – July 7)

Oak signs are known to be strong, protective, generous and nurturing. They are highly optimistic and they believe that everything has it’s way of working out. Oaks enjoy learning about history and ancestry, which makes them great teachers. They also crave structure. Oaks love having large families and they enjoy being involved in their communities.


8. Holly – The Ruler (July 8 – August 4)
The Druids saw Holly signs as noble, natural leaders. They were people of power who welcomed a good challenge. Holly signs are able to tackle any obstacles that get in their way. They’re competitive, ambitious, confident and dedicated to achieving their goals. Holly signs are often perfectionists. They are natural leaders, but they also don’t mind being in a supportive role.


9. Hazel – The Knower (August 5 – September 1)
In Celtic astrology, Hazels are intelligent, organized, efficient and academic. They have excellent memories, which allows them to excel at reciting and recalling information. Hazels might appear to be know-it-all’s, but they truly like to be well-informed. They can be extremely detail-oriented, sometimes to an obsessive or compulsive degree. Hazels enjoy doing anything that involves numbers, science and analytics, which makes them great planners and organizers.


10. Vine – The Equalizer (September 2 – September 29)
The Druids believed that Vines had fluid and changeable personalities, just like the seasons. They can be unpredictable and indecisive, which allows them to see both sides of a story. They are often seen as very empathetic because they don’t like to pick sides. Vines are a bit moody at times, but they can also be charming and elegant with a taste for the finer things, such as food, wine, music and art.

11. Ivy – The Survivor (September 30 – October 27)
Ivy signs are compassionate, loyal and giving. They are often soft-spoken, spiritual and charismatic. They are born at a time of the “waning sun,” which led the Druids to believe that life may seem more difficult to them at times. But Ivy signs are graceful in their ability overcome obstacles. They have a steady stream of energy that allows them to hold their own.

12. Reed – The Inquisitor (October 28 – November 24)
According to Celtic astrology, Reeds are great at keeping secrets. They also love to uncover the truth. Reeds dig deep to find the heart of the matter. They love a good story, causing them to be drawn to gossip, scandals, legends and conspiracies. This trait makes Reeds excellent journalists and detectives. Reeds love people, because they represent mysteries to uncover. They have a strong sense of truth and honor, and they can be jealous at times.


13. Elder – The Seeker (November 25 – December 23)
Elders are free spirits and thrill-seekers, possibly because they are born at a time when the light is fleeting. Elders may seem extroverted, but they can be withdrawn, thoughtful and philosophical. They can also be very helpful, honest and outspoken. Elders have a tendency to assume they’re always right, due to their intellectual nature.

Super New Moon in Gemini 25 May 2017 – Bringing the Start of a New Cycle!

 
The potent Super New Moon falls in the air sign of Gemini on May 25th, 2017.

 This Super New Moon is going to bring the start of a new cycle, however before this new energy can emerge, the old has to be cleared.

 The old energy we are clearing this time around, comes from the events that stirred around the Scorpio Full Moon earlier in the month.

 This was an intense Full Moon that likely brought things to the surface that needed to be cleared for some time.

 Even though this Full Moon was only a few weeks ago, it is likely that it also brought things to the surface from way back in August 2016.

 Perhaps if you look back on your life from that time period till now, you will see just how your journey has unfolded and how themes may have returned in order to be cleared or worked through once and for all.

 New Moons and Full Moons always represent the start and end of a cycle, but often their impact lingers for months or even years. This is especially true when we have a Super Moon or an Eclipse.

 This year, the Super New Moon in May will also be followed by another Super New Moon in June. This double hit of strong lunar energy means that things over the next few weeks may feel intense.

 The Moon is responsible for our deeper emotions and feelings. The Moon rules over the unseen worlds and can bring whatever is hiding in our subconscious mind to the surface.

 This can be confronting at times and can also challenge us to really make changes on the deepest of levels.

 The Moon also challenges us to pay attention to our intuition and the more energetic or spiritual sides of life.

 As the Super New Moon falls in Gemini, it will be guiding us to focus on our thoughts and how we have been communicating to ourselves, to others and to the world.

 Gemini energy is very “thought” driven and often there are times where we all experience our thoughts running away from us.

 It is important to understand that our thoughts don’t really belong to us. In a way, our thoughts are like a stream that floats above us, and the thoughts we gravitate towards are the ones that are in alignment with the vibration we are emitting.

 Your thoughts are not who you are. You are in fact, the observer of your thoughts but when you blur those lines and identify as your thoughts, that is when suffering can occur.

 The Universe doesn’t cause our suffering, we do, our thoughts do. Events come and go, but it’s the thoughts we hold onto that cause us to suffer so much more.

 We stress, we worry, we become fearful, and very soon we feel mentally, emotionally and even physically sick.

This New Moon is going to be challenging us to view our thoughts differently.

 This Gemini energy is going to be guiding us to remember that we are simply the observer of our thoughts and that our thoughts don’t have to define us.

 We may also find comfort in the fact that the more positive and harmonious we can make our thoughts, the more likely we are to feel better.

 We don’t need to engage with all thoughts that come in, but we can open our mind to welcoming in positive and loving thoughts, for no other reason other than to feel good.

 In fact, this is the super power that we all have- we are all in charge of choosing our thoughts, and what we choose can have a huge impact on how we view our lives.

 This Gemini Super Moon is definitely going to be playing with our minds and encouraging us to review and assess the state of our mental activity and our thought processes.

When you can master your thoughts, that is when you will be able to master your life! So use this New Moon as an opportunity to reprogram the way you think.

 The energy of this Super New Moon may feel intense, but know that the more you can keep your mind clear and positive, the easier it is going to be to navigate through.

 The May Super New Moon energy is going to linger for the coming weeks and will work alongside the Super New Moon of June, so you may not  be able to fully feel the start of the new cycle just yet.

 This month, Mother Moon will need some time to work her magic.

 In fact, if you were planning to use this New Moon for manifestation work, you may have to wait a few days in order for this energy to settle so you can really see things clearly and manifest from a clear frame of mind.

 Everyone is going to be affected by this New Moon slightly differently, so just keep an open mind and go with the flow.

 Mother Moon is always on our side, we just have to trust.

Rare Pink Moon In Libra On April 11, 2017: Prepare For A Huge Energy Shift!

 
Keep your eye out for a rare full moon on the night of April 11. This unique pink moon in Libra will cause a cosmic shift in energy if you open yourself up to it. If you’re standing outside on Tuesday gazing at the sky, you won’t actually see a pink-colored moon. The moon’s name comes from vibrant pink wildflowers called ground Phlox. They are some of the first flowers to blossom around this time each spring. The pink moon alludes to the changes in nature that happen around this time of year. If you allow yourself to feel the moon’s energy, you may see similar changes in your own life.

 Here’s what to expect from Tuesday’s rare pink moon in Libra:

1. Heightened Energy

 The pink moon will cause a heightened energy around you. It’s up to you to choose how to channel the energy. You can allow it to become a negative source, or you can use it to better your life and yourself. By welcoming the energy shift with a positive attitude, positive things will follow.

 2. Stronger Intuition

If you have a gut feeling in the days ahead, don’t ignore it. The pink moon will strengthen your sense of intuition. You’ll feel more connected to your inner self, including your wants, needs, desires and intentions. Listen to your instincts and follow through with your gut feelings.

 3. An Awakening

 The pink moon will bring about a wave of conscious awareness. If you open yourself up to it, it will lead to meaningful self-discovery. Use this time to re-center yourself. Find balance in your life. This new awakening will help you see the future more clearly and allow you to see what path to take.

 4. Closer Relationships

 Ares of communication will be highlighted in the days after the full moon. Use the energy to catch up friends, family members and loved ones. Take the time to reach out to people you haven’t seen in a while and re-connect. Your social skills will be spot on after the pink moon, and you’ll crave closer relationships with loved ones.

 5. A New Adventure

 Full moons are associated with rebirth and new beginnings. If there’s something you’ve been wanting to try but never had the chance to, now is the right time. It might be taking up a new hobby, learning a new language or starting a new exercise program. Whatever it is, commit to it. Stop making excuses. Don’t let anyone get in your way from re-charging and trying something new.

Mysterious ‘Underwater Wall’ That Circles The ENTIRE Planet Found On Google Earth (Video).

 
A mysterious video posted on YouTube claims there is a supermassive wall located beneath Earth’s oceans, encompassing the entire planet. 

 This mysterious wall, found by a YouTube channel called ‘Flat Earth Arabic’ claims the massive wall tens of thousands of miles across beneath the ocean.

 In the distant past, UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists have found countless unexplained things on Google Earth. From pyramids to mysterious towers, petroglyphs, and even sunken cities, Google Earth has unleashed the imagination of people around the globe.

Not long ago we reported about a supposed discovered just off the coast of Mexico—12°8’1.5″N, 119°35’26.4″W—where a researcher discovered a  humongous underwater pyramid. Among the many structures that are said to remain hidden beneath the ocean, ‘researchers’ have found things that—supposedly—challenge everything we know about our history.

 Last year, a teenager using Google Earth ‘discovered’ what researchers are calling one of the largest, previously unknown ancient cities belonging to the Maya.

 In similar ways, researchers all around the globe have been hunting for Pyramids and lost structures that have eluded experts for decades.

 In 2012, American researcher Angela Micol discovered ‘Pyramids larger than those found on the Giza Plateau, using satellite images.

But countless different discoveries have been made using Google Earth.

 Last year we reported about a complex of structures that stretch for a staggering 76 miles at its furthest points.

 The formations found off the coast of Baja California include mysterious tube-like constructions that are roughly 2.4 miles in width. Given the curious shape and distinguishable lines, many believe these are just some of the many underwater structures on our planet.

 However, these new claims go beyond anything we’ve probably ever come across.

 This wall’s sheer size and its adherence to linearity indicate it is not a natural formation to many. In fact, many people are convinced that due to the numerous discoveries made across the globe which completely contradict history as we have been taught in school, something like this is entirely possible. After all—they say—Earth is millions of years old and we are begging to uncover evidence that suggests many ancient civilizations inhabited Earth in our planet’s long history.

 BUT, HOLD ON A SEC, THIS CAN’T BE A WALL, RIGHT?

 Zooming in on the provided coordinates you clearly see what seems to be a MASSIVE structure. But who could have erected such a wall? If it really is an artificial structure, how old is it? What was its purpose?

 Many disagree and don’t believe we are looking at an actual wall. In fact, there even might be a perfectly reasonable explanation for the enigmatic finding.

 What if we are looking at a Google Earth glitch?

 Due to the fact that Google Earth uses different images while ‘mapping the planet’, it isn’t uncommon to encounter parts of the map that just didn’t quite match perfectly, resulting in a MASSIVE wall that encompasses the entire planet.

 One of the most likely explanations for this ‘impressive find’ is that we are looking at a digital seem in the mapping of the Poles.
SATELLITE IMAGE STITCHING ERROR?

 Image stitching or photo stitching is the process of combining multiple photographic images with overlapping fields of view to produce a segmented panorama or high-resolution image.

 Commonly performed through the use of computer software, most approaches to image stitching require nearly exact overlaps between images and identical exposures to produce seamless results.

 Image stitching is widely used in today’s world and was used in the satellite images we are seeing on Google Earth.

 BUT AN ENTIRE WALL THAT ENCOMPASSES EARTH?

 A lot of things can have played a role in creating such an effect. Illumination, point of view, reference, and many other things may have played a crucial role in this massive error. One of the most likely reasons for the seam appearing could be the background changing between two images for the same continuous foreground.
CHECK OUT THE VIDEO BELLOW:
What are we looking at there? A Supermassive wall as the above video claims? Or just another glitch in the image processing techniques in Google maps?
