So, we’ve had a planetary alignment all September and August. There was a maximum of six planets lined up, the one’s missing of the eight eight were Mercury at times. Who is the messenger? God of antiquity and Mars the God of war in antiquity. So , So for your information, whether or not people are trying to be in sync with the universe or antiquity or the gods. The United States defense department just changed their name back to the war department, the next time I see Mercury I’ll ask  about it.

Omens passe

Mystical stuff is interesting, this full blood moon that’s coming up is pretty significant and considering the planetary alignment going along with it and last night I saw a deer with a mane. Now is nowhere near a unicorn but it struck me as being a spiritual instrument in somebody’s mind. We know some cultures. We don’t know them all but it seems to be in tune with the Earth and the solar system and the Sun and everything is an interesting distraction to some and the stabilizing virtue to many others it would seem. Good luck after the blood moon on the 7th.

So, can this one also be called a harvest moon? You be the judge.

What is a Lunar Eclipse and Blood Moon?
A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes directly between the Sun and Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon.  The “blood moon” effect occurs during a total lunar eclipse when the Moon turns a reddish-orange hue. This is caused by sunlight filtering through Earth’s atmosphere, which scatters blue and violet light, but allows red and orange light to pass through and reach the Moon.
Why Won’t Merritt See It?
This eclipse will primarily be visible across Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia. For Merritt, British Columbia, the eclipse is scheduled to occur during your daylight hours, when the Moon is not visible in the sky.
Next Eclipses Visible in Merritt
The last total lunar eclipse visible in Merritt was on March 13–14, 2025. Here are the next total lunar eclipses that will be at least partially visible from your location:

Fondly remembered and offered the chair to the incumbent president at the AGM  she was instrumental in the preservation of arts  and it’s orderly transition in the City of Merritt.

Complete with the amalgamation of the organizations, Visual artists of Merritt and the Community Arts Council. As she saw as a member, the groups moved from the courthouse gallery into their place of business now at the corner of Nicola and Voght.

Start practicing for a return to school…

Early September start.

In British Columbia, school starts are different in each school district. So you must check the school calendars. Of course, drivers need to beware of pedestrians at all times however, the increasing numbers of children out in particular times may increase the risk. It would be good that parents cautioned their kids about extra diligence around roadways and motorists as their heads may be full of thoughts of the dynamics of being at school.
