Uncanny Japan - Exploring Japanese Myths, Folktales, Superstitions, History and Language
Don't point at the moonโyou might wake up without your ears. In Japan, the moon rabbit isn't just making mochi. Its image was placed there by the gods to honor an act of pure sacrifice, a Buddhist tale that traveled from India through China and transformed along the way. In this episode we explore Tsukimi moon-viewing traditions, the violent origin of the moon god Tsukuyomi, protective pompous grass rituals, and dozens of poetic names for moonlightโfrom the "moon you can stand and wait for" to the "moon that rises deep into the night." Plus: moon-viewing thieves, spirit-attracting moonbeams, and why pointing at the moon might cost you more than you think. Tsuki wa jลman. The moon is always full.

In the last century we've witnessed people set foot on the moon, and seen even the dark side in high-res images, and yet the moon still evokes a sense of romance and mystery, just as it did in the Middle Ages. This week, Daniรจle speaks with Ayoush Lazikani about what โ and who โ medieval people across the world believed the moon to be.Support this podcast on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/medievalists

It took some time to get us where,ย We thought we wanted to go.ย But when we arrived we realized,ย That together we can do even more!ย โเธชเธงเธฑเธชเธเธตย (Hello in Thai)!It's a new Moon conjunct Mercury and Black Moon Lilith! In the last degrees of powerful Scorpio! Can we do this? As I discuss in this week's report, that all depends. Just as life becomes more complicated the older we get so do the signs and the new Moons that occur in those signs. A new Moon is a new beginning, let's say of a chapter in a book, maybe the 8th chapter.ย We need to go back through the other chapters, see what happened, and take it from there, especially with a retrograde Mercury.ย My perspective is that on a global level, humanity has not navigated the first seven chapters very successfully. In fact, it seems with all the fighting going on, that we may be stuck in the first chapter of Aries! No wonder it's taking us all so many lifetimes to graduate from the school of planet earth!ย However, on a personal level, since we are all on individual trajectories, with unique soul histories and intentions for this life, we may "succeed" in chapter eight regardless of the whole.ย The best we can do for humanity is to become the best version of ourselves anyway, so now is a good time to start. With the review that I talked about last week, we can use the outline I describe this week to go back through, not only this year but perhaps this relationship, this career, this path, this life!ย Done well, this month's lunar cycle can bring us more power, whether that be more money, business, love, sex, depth, understanding, or mastery... whatever your values, goals, and desires use for a measuring stick. One way or the other, it looks like this is a month of "make it or break it." We either merge and emerge more than we were before, or we battle it out so as not to change and "lose our old self." The choice is ours to make and I wish you the best!ย Let's all "Come Together" https://youtu.be/OEo9Bh679wM?si=CbzfYYB9ZYvaTBPfย So Much Love,Kaypachaโ

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary | Astronomy, Space & Science News
In this episode ofย SpaceTime, we delve into remarkable discoveries that illuminate the origins of our planet and the cosmos beyond.Ancient Australian Rocks Shed Light on Earth's OriginsScientists have made significant strides in understanding the formation of Earth and the Moon through the analysis of 3.7 billion-year-old feldspar crystals from the Murchison region in Western Australia. This research reveals that continental growth began relatively late in Earth's history, around three and a half billion years ago, suggesting a shared composition between Earth and the Moon following a colossal impact event. The findings challenge existing theories about the timing of crustal development and provide new insights into the early geological processes that shaped our planet.Hints of a Possible Fifth Force in NatureA groundbreaking report has emerged, suggesting the potential existence of a fifth fundamental force of nature. Researchers have observed unexpected deviations in electron transitions among calcium isotopes, hinting at a new particle, the Yukawa boson. This discovery could reshape the standard model of particle physics and deepen our understanding of the universe's fundamental forces, as scientists continue to explore the mysteries of atomic interactions.Record-Breaking Ocean Waves Observed from SpaceIn an astonishing revelation, satellites have recorded ocean waves reaching heights of nearly 20 metres, the largest ever measured from space. This episode explores how these massive waves, driven by storms, can carry destructive energy across vast distances, impacting coastlines far from the storm's origin. The findings not only validate existing wave models but also reveal new insights into the energy dynamics of ocean swells.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.comโ๏ธ Episode ReferencesNature CommunicationsPhysical Review LettersProceedings of the National Academy of SciencesBecome a supporter of this podcast:ย https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.
Overnight Wednesday to Thursday we will experience a truly unusual New Moon, arriving at a packed and sensitive moment. This is the alignment of retrograde Mercury conjunct the Moon, the Sun and the Earth โ at exactly the same time.ย The Moon and Mercury will pass between the Earth and Sun at exactly the same time. The chances of this even happening are remote but here it is. And it takes place in the what's called the anaretic degrees of Scorpio โ way at the end of the sign, indicating major change; and a point of no return.ย In this article and Starcast, I'll comment on the public and collective expressions of this aspect; in the readings below (for Sun and rising sign), I speak to you as an individual with your own private concerns.The New Moon conjunct Mercury takes place at 28+ Scorpio (which is really the 29th degree). When you have one very hot degree, it's helpful to check what is contacting that degree from the other three directions โ that is, what's making squares and oppositions? You get a lot of clues. I've put the chart below this article in case you dare to look at the basic data.Let's call out something obvious: this lunation is opposite Uranus, which is in the last degree of Taurus. The New Moon is itself a trigger, and then the Moon and the Sun immediately oppose precipitous (and misnamed) Uranus, the disruptor, the agitator and the rebel. This setup has that distinct sprung-like-a-trap feeling, and some โunexpectedโ events will move quickly from here.Here in the States, we are watching the Jeffrey Epstein-Donald Trump child sex trafficking unfold like the latest reality show. We are finding out just how many people will give the president a pass on his affinity for teenagers (he said on the Howard Stern show that 12 is too young).ย Read More Here:bit.ly/4o6J218Thank you for visiting.

Houston, we have a podcast. Today, Apollo 13 author Jeffrey Kluger drops in to talk about the Apollo missions, what really made it on the film, and his new book, Gemini: Stepping Stone to the Moon, the Untold Story.About our guest:Jeffrey Kluger, editor at large, oversees TIME's science and technology reporting. He has written or co-written more than 40 cover stories for the magazine and regularly contributes articles and commentary on science, behavior and health. Kluger is the co-author, with astronaut Jim Lovell, of Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13, which was the basis of the Apollo 13 movie released in 1995. He is the sole author of seven other books, including The Sibling Effect, published in 2011, and two novels for young adults. Other books include Splendid Solution, published in 2006, which tells the story of Jonas Salk and the polio vaccine; and the 2008 Hyperion release Simplexity: Why Simple Things Become Complex (and Why Complex Things Can Be Made Simple). Before joining TIME, Kluger was a staff writer for Discover magazine, where he wrote the "Light Elements" humor column, and he was also an editor for the New York TimesBusiness World Magazine, Family Circle and Science Digest.Kluger, who is also an attorney, has taught science journalism at New York University.
Did you know Stranger Things wasn't over? We also talk about The Moon and Happer made a face.
In episode 144, astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield turn their cosmic lens to the recent divorce of English singer/songwriter Lily Allen and "Stranger Things" actor David Harbour. With her new album out, "West END Girl" Allen has created a collection of songs detailing the struggles of her marriage to David.ย ย The analysis begins with Lily's chart, revealing a vocally talented Sun in Taurus that also denotes a strong aesthetic sense and a stubborn streak. This is amplified by a square from Jupiter, indicating a tendency toward overextension and rebelliousness. While her Moon in Libra seeks balance, an opposition from a fiery Venus in Aries ensures that calm is often short-lived. ย Turning to David's chart, we find an extremely assertive and highly reactive stellium in Aries, pointing to a powerful ego. However, with his Moon in opposition to Pluto, this intensity often simmers beneath the surface. A Venus/Mars square further adds an appetite for intimacy and a dose of charisma. ย When their charts are combined, the dynamics become clear. They possess opposing Moons, leading to drastically different emotional reactions and domestic needs. The presence of Pluto creates a landscape of high emotional volatility and controlling behaviors, while a Saturn square to the Moon reveals patterns of brutal withholding. Although a mutual Mars trine to Pluto gave them the power to be independent within the relationship, was this single positive aspect enough to hold their marriage together?

โThen Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from inside the fish. He said, โI cried out to the Lord in my great trouble, and he answered me. I called to you from the land of the dead, and Lord, you heard me! You threw me into the ocean depths, and I sank down to the heart of the sea. The mighty waters engulfed me; I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves. Then I said, โO Lord, you have driven me from your presence. Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.โ'โ Jonah 2:1-4The book of Jonah is without a doubt the most known book of the prophets and perhaps one of the most well known of the Old Testament. That is to say, most of the story is well known. From the earliest ages the story of Jonah and the fish or Jonah and the whale is taught in church classrooms around the world. But usually that story ends in chapter 2 . . . but there are still two more chapters to the book of Jonah and, you know what, the conversation today spends most of its time in chapter 4. To help us navigate the book of Jonah is Dr. T. Desmond Alexander, Senior Research Fellow in Biblical Studies at Union Theological College. So let's leave what you think you know about Jonah behind and strap in as Desi Alexander takes us on a really fun and thought-provoking journey into the book of Jonah.ย Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

Send us a textWhen decisions can't wait for perfect data, you need methods that actually work in the real world. We sit down with Brian Moon to pull naturalistic decision making out of journals and into the field where cops, medics, operators, and executives make consequential calls under stress, time pressure, and uncertainty. The conversation opens with a clear critique: elegant lab studies often miss the work. From there, we rebuild on stronger ground; agency, process, and the lived patterns of true expertise.ย Brian traces why experience isn't just hours served but exposure to hard problems, responsibility for outcomes, and honest feedback that reshapes judgment. We unpack how experts blend rapid recognition with deliberate checks, using counterfactuals to keep first interpretations from hardening too soon. If you lead training, you'll get specific moves: design scenarios that force ownership of the whole problem; capture tacit cues through structured debriefs; and teach a shared language for uncertainty so teams can flexecute as conditions change. We also push into high-friction topics like use-of-force errors and pathways to violence, showing how process signals, not labels or post-hoc narratives, offer the best chance to prevent bad outcomes.Across the hour, you'll hear how to spot and grow real SMEs, why credentials alone fall short, and how to engineer environments where sensemaking becomes a habit instead of a hope. Whether you work a midnight shift or a corner office, you'll leave with practical tools to clean up your decisions this week and a sharper lens for understanding human behavior where it actually happens: on the street, on the line, and in the moment.

Throughout history small close approaching space rocks have been a part of our environment. Now, thanks to improved telescopes and cameras, asteroid hunters are routinely discovering these small asteroids as they pass closer than the Moon is to us. Since these tiny asteroids are only bright enough to detect for a few days out of their long, many month duration paths about the Sun, astronomers have had difficulty in determining how many of these small space rocks may exist in near Earth space. This effort received more emphasis when a house sized space rock exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia in 2013 releasing about 10 times the energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. Although this asteroid was tiny compared to the one that ended the dinosaurs rule of the planet, the air blast the Chelyabinsk bolide produced caused nearly 1,500 human injuries and damaged more than 7,000 buildings. In a 2017 paper in the Astronomical Journal, Dr. David Trilling of Northern Arizona University and his group of researchers present data from the Blanco 4 meter telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile which they use to estimate that there are approximately 3.2 million Earth approaching asteroids similar in size to the Chelyabinsk impactor. My team the Catalina Sky Survey uses 4 telescopes, 24 nights per month, in the mountains north of Tucson, Arizona with the goal to provide warnings for people to stay away from doors and windows should a Chelyabinsk sized space rock be on an impact trajectory with planet Earth.

A barely-there crescent Moon teams up with the disappearing โmorning starโ in tomorrowโs dawn twilight. But thereโs not much time to look for them. The Moon will cross between Earth and the Sun in a couple of days. Itโll be lost in the Sunโs glare. It will return to view, in the evening sky, by Friday or Saturday. Venus is getting ready to disappear in the dawn twilight as well. It will cross behind the Sun on January 6th. Itโs a slower passage, so the planet will be hidden in the Sunโs glare for about three months. Itโll emerge as the โevening starโ in February. Most cultures figured out that the morning and evening star were actually the same object thousands of years ago. Even so, they had different names for the morning and evening appearances. In ancient Greece, morning Venus was named for the god Phosphorus. In Rome, he was Lucifer. Both names mean โbringer of lightโ โ the god lit the dawn sky with a torch. Venus passes behind the Sun every 584 days โ a bit more than 19 months. Before and after it disappears, itโs almost full. So if you look at Venus with a telescope now, itโll be almost fully lit up โ like a negative image of the โfingernailโ crescent Moon. Look for Venus and the Moon quite low in the eastern sky beginning about 45 minutes before sunrise. Because of the timing and the viewing angle, theyโll be a little easier to spot from the southeastern corner of the country. Script by Damond Benningfield

See if you have any of these special placements in your free Vedic Birth Chart at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartVedic wealth indicators, billionaire yogas, and the hidden rulers that drive abundance. In this episode I explore the deeper layers of Jyotish that you won't see on the surface of a chart. These are the subtle, powerful combinations that show up again and again in the lives of people like Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson, and Ray Kroc.I've been studying astrology for over twenty years, and after looking at thousands of charts I've found that true wealth potential almost never comes from the obvious places. It's rarely the rising sign, the Moon, or even the Sun. It comes from hidden rulerships, exchanges, and relationships between houses that most people overlook. Today I walk you through eight of these wealth indicators, including the rare firstโsecond house exchange that shows up in many multi-millionaire and billionaire charts.You'll hear me talk about why the sixth and tenth houses matter far more than most people realize, how daily routines and dharma shape your capacity to create abundance, and why house rulers reveal the real story behind your money karma. We also explore the difference between potential and fulfillment. Having a wealth yoga doesn't guarantee a certain outcome. You still shape your life through choice, effort, and alignment with your dharma.Five key ideas from this episode:โMassive wealth rarely comes from the obvious parts of the chart. You have to look at the deeper details like house rulers.โโThe sixth house is where you have the most influence. It's your daily routine, your effort, your time.โโThe tenth house shows your dharma. When you align with it, resources tend to move toward you.โโHouse exchanges between the first and second can create ten-figure wealth potential.โโEveryone is handed a different karmic hand, but you choose how to play the cards.โIf you want to explore these indicators in your own chart, you can get your Vedic birth chart and training here:Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyYouTube: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtubeMentorship Waitlist: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipYoga Teacher Training Podcast: https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertrainingQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yogaTags: Vedic astrology, Jyotish, wealth indicators, house rulers, billionaire yoga, 1st house exchange, 2nd house exchange, sixth house, tenth house, dharma, nakshatras, vedic horoscope, money astrology, abundance, spiritual growth, self awareness, Jeremy Devens, Quietmind Astrology Podcast

Free Guide: How to Work With The Celtic Reed Moonโ In this episode, I'm introducing you to the Celtic Lunar Tree Calendar. With 13 trees for 13 moons, it's rooted in earth- based animistic Celtic tradition that offers a slower, simpler, more ancestral rhythm than Western astrology. After attuning to the Moon with Western astrology for many years, I still appreciate it, but I realized it's something my grandmothers would have had no concept of. "What would my grandmothers have done?" is a question I find myself asking a lot lately, including how they would've attuned to the Moon and their Intuition.If Western astrology feels overwhelming, rigid, flat, or disconnected, the Tree Calendar offers a return to ancestral knowingโone that honors your inner timing, the seasons of your life, and the natural intelligence of the earth.You'll hear how this ancient way of tracking time transformed my spiritual practice after a life-changing pilgrimage to the British Isles, how it connects with my maternal lineage (and maybe yours too!) and why it feels more grounding, intuitive, and emotionally resonant for me than following the constantly shifting zodiac.I'll walk you month-by-month through what I've learned since starting to follow it in July: the teachings of the Holly, Hazel, Vine, and Ivy moons, while weaving in stories of my own and my clients'โincluding devotion in caregiving, intuition finding you when you haven't found it, the loving art of concealment, and the myth of limitless resilience. I'm also introducing the next lunar cycle that starts Nov 19โthe Reed Moon (the Clarity Moon)โand explaining why Winter naturally brings sharper vision, deeper dreaming, and the perfect conditions for divination.If you've been craving a spiritual path that feels simpler, slower, earth-rooted, and ancestralโฆ you will love this episode.Press play to hear:What the Celtic Lunar Tree Calendar actually is and how it developed through Celtic animist worldviewWhy I left Western astrology as my primary lunar practice, and how I still weave astrology in gentlyHow my British Isles pilgrimage awakened my connection to my maternal lineageWhy the tree calendar feels like โhomeโโand why it resonates so deeply for modern womenHow Holly taught devotion through a powerful client story about caregivingHow Hazel revealed intuition through Celtic mythology and the question, โWhat if you don't access your intuitionโwhat if your intuition accesses you?โHow Vine teaches truth and timing, including the story of loving concealmentHow Ivy teaches resilience through resourcing and relationship, especially with the Unseen worldWhy winter clarity is real, both spiritually and scientificallyWhat the Reed Moon (the Clarity Moon) is all about as we enter this next lunar cycleA peek at all the upcoming trees in the remaining months of the Celtic yearThis episode is an invitation to reconnect with the rhythms our grandmothers lived by.To follow these teachings month by month, I send out weekly emails in rhythm with the current tree's lessonsโall for free.Join me by downloading the Free Guide: How to Work With The Celtic Reed Moon.Emails referenced in this episode:Holly Moon: Devotion + "Are you actually stuck, or are you devoted?"Vine Moon: Truth + โIs it lying or is it loving?โ
Have you seen the 1999 movie 'The Matrix'? Is it possible that humanity could actually be trapped in a simulated universe created by intelligent machines? Physicists recently weighed in on this question. And do you know about the phenomenon called 'earth wind' that blows charged ions from our atmosphere to the moon? We also discuss new research on how fast dinosaurs actually walked, and about killer whales (Orcas) in the wild who offer gifts to humans. This week's show features the fun, toe-tapping music of Tom Lehrer, renown mathematician/musician/comedian who delighted audiences worldwide with his rendition of 'The Elements'. Tom passed away in July at the age of 97, but leaves behind an exuberant songbook for us to enjoy. We play three of his songs on this episode! โBench Talk: The Week in Science' is a weekly program that airs on WFMP Louisville FORward Radio 106.5 FM (forwardradio.org) every Monday at 7:30 pm, Tuesday at 11:30 am, and Wednesday at 7:30 am.

It was November 1967, and NASA was preparing to launch the Saturn V rocket for the very first time.
We've been walking through this Mercury retrograde together since early November, and this week brings us to the peakโthe moment of revelation, the turning point, the cosmic โaha!โ that shifts everything into place.If you've been feeling like you're dragging extra weight, wondering when things will finally click, or waiting for clarity to emerge from the fogโthis is your week.The Big Picture: What's Happening This WeekMonday, November 17: Emotional RealizationsWe begin the week with a beautiful Grand Trine in water signs (Sun, Saturn, Neptune, and Jupiter), bringing emotional shifts and realizations. You may have already felt something change over the weekendโa shift in how you feel about whatever this Mercury retrograde has been asking you to review.This Grand Trine is about coming into understanding. Old belief systems are being examined. Emotional healing is happening. You're recognizing something important about your path.There's also a Yod (Finger of God) pointing at the Libra Moon from Saturn/Neptune in Pisces and Uranus in Taurus. This temporary but powerful aspect brings a moment of revelationโespecially around justice, truth, and what we've been hiding. With the Epstein files being released this week, we're seeing the โGreat Revealโ continue to unfold in our collective consciousness.Note: Monday has an all-day void-of-course moon, but after that, the rest of the week has minimal void periodsโmeaning energy moves fast.Wednesday-Thursday, November 20-21: The Mercury Retrograde PeakThis is it. The Cazemiโwhen Mercury retrograde, the Sun, and the Moon all come together at 28 degrees Scorpio for the New Moon.A Cazemi happens when a planet is at the exact same degree as the Sun, amplifying and intensifying that planet's energy. With Mercury retrograde involved, this new moon is about:* Messages delivered from the universe* Surprises that redirect your path (thanks to the opposition with Uranus in Taurus)* Deep realizations about what you thought you wanted vs. what you're actually meant to do* Resolution of issues that have been brewing since late OctoberThis is the moment when Mercury retrograde says: โNot that wayโTHIS way.โYou might feel like the universe just nudged you off your expected path. But don't worryโthis is part of a Grand Trine, which means it will come together easily. What feels like a surprise or disruption is actually a blessing in disguise, guiding you toward your authentic path.New Moon Intentions: This is a powerful time to set intentions around transformation, shadow work, emotional healing, and stepping into your truth. Scorpio energy asks you to go deep and be real with yourself.Saturday, November 22: Sun Enters SagittariusThe Sun moves out of Scorpio's intense, shadow-diving energy and into Sagittariusโthe sign of adventure, optimism, expansion, and truth-seeking.This shift takes the cosmic spotlight off your shadow and invites you to look forward with hope and enthusiasm. By the weekend, you'll likely feel lighter, clearer, and ready to move ahead.What This Means for YOU: Horoscopes by SignGet the Video Versions of these Horoscopes on our Shorts on Youtubeโ Aries (March 21 - April 19)This Mercury retrograde peak is happening in your 8th house of shared resources, intimacy, and transformation.

If you ever warp over to another star, it would help to know its distance. Say, for example, you wanted to visit Spica, the brightest star of Virgo, which is quite close to the Moon at dawn tomorrow. The system is worth visiting because it consists of two giant stars. Theyโre so close together that their shapes are distorted, so they look like eggs. The best measurement we have says that Spica is 250 light-years away. But thereโs a margin of error of about `four percent. So you could undershoot or overshoot the system by 10 light-years. The distances of most stars are measured with a technique called parallax. Astronomers plot a starโs position at six-month intervals, when Earth is on opposite sides of the Sun. That can produce a tiny shift in the starโs position against the background of more-distant objects. The bigger the shift, the closer the star. But the stars are so far away that the shift is tiny โ like the size of a dime seen from miles away โ or hundreds of miles. And Earthโs atmosphere blurs the view, so the stars look like fuzzy blobs instead of sharp points. So the most accurate measurements have been made from space. Spicaโs distance was measured by Hipparchos, a European space telescope. An even more accurate satellite, Gaia, measured the distances to more than a billion stars โ but not Spica. The star was too bright for its detectors โ leaving a big margin of error for this impressive system. Script by Damond Benningfield
