JANUARY 7
The Moon spends the day in Pisces, encouraging us to connect with our imaginative, compassionate side. We’re tolerant and mellow, and we’re easily touched. We quickly tune into the vibrations around us, and we’re psychically open. We’re inclined to dream, inspire, and seek inspiration. While we could deal with motivation levels dipping, it’s likely temporary, and it can stimulate us to get more in touch with our desires.
The void Moon occurs from 5:23 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Pluto), until the Moon enters Aries the next day, Saturday, January 8th, 12:26 AM EST.

Love & Money Calendar™
THE BEST ASTROLOGICAL DAYS THIS MONTH AND
THE WORST ASTROLOGICAL DAYS THIS MONTH
FOR SIXTEEN IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES FOR
January, 2022
| The dates below are the best (and worst) astrological days in January 2022 for the 17 important activities described (to read about the criteria we use in selecting these dates click here). January is another below average month when it comes to good and bad astrological days for natalizations. As was the case last month, the days we list as the "best" days of the month are not really "best", but are actually "barely good enough" – and unfortunately, none are good enough for any crucial natalizations. As always, please make certain you are not having bad transits when you make crucial natalizations. Our MagicalOracle Mobile Web App is the easiest way to know what kind of transits you have on any day and you can check it anywhere in the world at any time by using your iPhone or Android, notebook or PC. As for the best and worst days this month for money, they are: Best: January 1, 12 Worst: January 17, 26, 27 And the best and worst days this month for love and sex are: Best: January 1, 6, 28, 30 Worst: January 17, 18, 19 Please also always remember that in addition to selecting good astrological days for crucial natalizations, you need to have good transits at the same time in order to create a natalization that will work very well for you. If you are a member of the Magi Society, you may log onto our Members Only Website and view in advance an EXTRA MONTH of the Magi Society Love & Money Calendar. This allows our members to use the stars to plan ahead by an extra month. Members of the Magi Society may click here to begin the process of logging onto the new Members Only Website. |
| [Editor's Note: These days were chosen specifically as the best and worst days for the activities specified and you should not assume that a good day for one activity is a good day for anything and everything else. For example, a good day to get married is not a good day to get divorced. Although the good and bad dates we provide you are applicable for everyone, just how good or bad each day is will vary depending on your individual transits. For example, if you are having several Cinderella Transits on one of our good days, then the day can be fabulous for you. Or if you are having Cinderella Transits on one of our bad days, then the day will not be as bad for you as it will be for most people because your transits are better than most.] |

Connaissance des temps, Éphémérides astronomiques
Cet ouvrage d’éphémérides est destiné aux astronomes, aux enseignants et aux étudiants.
Le cœur de cet ouvrage présente, pour l’année en cours, les éphémérides tabulées du Temps sidéral, des variables liées aux nouveaux paradigmes de l’Union astronomique internationale sur les systèmes de référence et les coordonnées du Soleil, de la Lune et des planètes, de Pluton, Cérès, Pallas, Junon et Vesta ; il fournit également les quantités nécessaires au calcul des positions des satellites de Mars, des satellites galiléens de Jupiter, des huit premiers satellites de Saturne et des cinq principaux satellites d’Uranus.
Un chapitre explicatif fournit les informations théoriques permettant de faire les calculs par soi-même ou d’utiliser le logiciel accompagnant l’ouvrage.
Ce volume est le 344e d’une éphéméride créée en 1679 qui a paru sans interruption depuis sa création. Ancienne par sa conception, mais toujours moderne dans sa réalisation, la version actuelle s’appuie sur une partie des récents développements méthodologiques menés à l’IMCCE.

OU LES QUATRE LIVRES DES JUGEMENTS DES ASTRES
TRADUIT PAR NICOLAS BOURDIN
De Ptolémée (né vers 90 après J.-C. à Ptolémaïs d’Hermias, dans la Thébaïde d’Égypte, mort à Canope vers 170), on ne retient souvent que le système astronomique qui fait de la Terre le centre de l’Univers. Et pourtant, cinq siècles avant lui, Aristarque de Samos avait émis l’hypothèse que la terre tournait sur elle-même autour du soleil.
Mais Ptolémée est d’abord un mathématicien. Les pages de sa Syntaxe mathématique, plus connue sous le nom d’Almageste (Le grand traité), reprennent partie les données et observations d’un autre astronome alexandrin, Hipparque de Nicée. Dans son Traité d’astrologie, Claude Ptolémée nous transmet le résultat de plus de sept siècles de science grecque.
Le Tetrabiblos fut l’ouvrage le plus célèbre de l’Antiquité. Il exerça et exerce encore une grande influence dans l’étude des corps célestes de la sphère sublunaire.

MA VOCATION: DIFFUSER LA CONNAISSANCE.
C’est pourquoi l’Arbre d’Or existe et que je tiens à sa survie malgré la constatation sur la durée que la rentabilité du eBook est «confidentielle», euphémisme pour dire qu'elle est nulle. A l’instar de la musique et de la video, le eBook se répand gratuitement; ce qui, pour ma part, aurait plutôt tendance à me réjouir, c’est la preuve que la soif de connaissance existe toujours et j'adore l'idée qu'elle puisse être accesible à tous. C’est en raison de cette vocation que je décide de me passer de plateforme marchande et de proposer les ouvrages en téléchargement libre.

Footballer Benjamin Mendy, accused of rape, granted bail: court
Jan 07 2022
Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy is charged with seven counts of rape
Chester (United Kingdom) (AFP) - Manchester City and France international footballer Benjamin Mendy, who has been charged with seven counts of rape, was on Friday freed on bail by a court in northwest England.
Judge Patrick Thompson granted bail to the 27-year-old defender at a hearing at Chester Crown Court subject to “stringent” conditions, including the surrender of his passport.
Mendy, who is accused by five women of seven counts of rape and one of sexual assault, has been in custody since being arrested and charged on August 26 last year.
The trial will not take place until at least June, Thompson said, and Mendy is due to appear again for a hearing on January 24.
The footballer who lives in Prestbury, near Macclesfield, was a £52 million ($70 million) signing from Monaco in 2017 and has played 75 times for City but his playing time has been limited by injuries and a loss of form.
The last of his 10 caps for France came in November 2019.
The left-back won the World Cup with France in 2018. He has been suspended by the Premier League champions pending the outcome of the criminal proceedings.
Mendy had been held at Altcourse prison in Liverpool before recently being transferred to a prison in Manchester.

Sidney Poitier, trailblazing Black film actor and activist, dies at 94
Jan 07 2022
Actor Sidney Poitier was the first Black star to take home the Oscar for best actor
Los Angeles (AFP) - Sidney Poitier, Hollywood’s first major Black movie star who led the fight for racial equality in film many decades before the #OscarsSoWhite and Black Lives Matter movements, has died. He was 94.
The pioneering thespian became the first Black star nominated for an Academy Award with 1958’s “The Defiant Ones” and, six years later, was the first to win the best actor Oscar for his performance in “Lilies of the Field.”
Collecting his historic award, Poitier told the glamorous audience of mainly white contemporaries it had been “a long journey to this moment” – but it would be a barely conceivable 38 years until Denzel Washington matched his achievement in that same category.
Poitier, whose death was announced by the government of the Bahamas, held dual US and Bahamian nationality. He achieved mainstream popularity with a series of groundbreaking roles at a time of great racial tension in America in the 1950s and 1960s.
He balanced success with a sense of duty to choose projects that tackled bigotry and stereotypes, including his 1967 classics “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” and “In the Heat of the Night.”
After winning a competitive Oscar in 1964, Sidney Poitier was awarded an honorary Oscar in 2002 for his "extraordinary performances" on the silver screen
Poitier was awarded an honorary Oscar in 2002 for his “extraordinary performances” on the silver screen and his “dignity, style and intelligence” off of it.
“I accept this award in the name of all the African American actors and actresses who went before me in the difficult years and on whose shoulders I was privileged to stand to see where I might go,” Poitier said.
Poitier also praised the “visionary choices of a handful of American” producers, directors and studio bosses who were not afraid to stand up for the cause of equality, despite the difficulties such a stance may have caused them.
- ‘I’ll always be chasing you, Sidney’ -
After Sidney Poitier (L) won the best actor Oscar, it would take nearly four decades for another Black actor, Denzel Washington (R), to win the same award
By coincidence, Washington became the second Black best actor winner that same night in 2002, which also saw Halle Berry become the first – and only – African American best actress winner.
“I’ll always be chasing you, Sidney. I’ll always be following in your footsteps,” said Washington, reflecting the views of a new generation of Black A-listers.
“There’s nothing I would rather do, sir.”
Born in the southern US state of Florida in 1927 where his tomato farmer father was selling his produce, young Sidney and his family moved back to the Bahamas, where he grew up in poverty.
As a youth, he got his first taste of the cinema on his Caribbean island before dropping out of school at the age of 13 and returning to Miami when he was 15 to join his brother Cyril.
It was there that the impressionable young man experienced his first taste of racial discrimination, an experience that left an indelible mark on him.
Poitier soon relocated to New York where he worked as a dishwasher and busboy, reportedly sleeping in bus station pay toilets as he tried to scratch out a meager existence in the tough city.

During World War II, Poitier joined the US Army as a physiotherapist until 1945, when he returned to New York, his heart set on becoming an actor.
Poitier worked to lose his Caribbean lilt and adopt an American accent, which earned him his first stage acting job as an understudy to singing star Harry Belafonte in 1945’s “Days of Our Youth,” before making his Broadway debut in an all-Black production of “Lysistrata.”
- Racial harmony -
In 1950, the thriving young actor starred in his first film, “No Way Out,” quickly followed by classics such as “Blackboard Jungle” and “Edge of the City.”

From 1957’s “Something of Value” – which portrayed Kenya’s anti-colonial Mau Mau uprising – his choices turned more consistently to themes of racial harmony, as seen in Chicago-set “A Raisin in the Sun” (1961) and Mississippi murder mystery “In the Heat of the Night” (1967).
Through the late 1970s and 1980s, Poitier moved behind the camera to direct, casting Black actors in traditionally white roles, before switching to light-hearted comedies featuring Gene Wilder (“Stir Crazy”) and Bill Cosby (“Ghost Dad”).
Poitier took a decade-long acting hiatus before returning in 1988 cop thriller “Shoot to Kill,” but rarely graced the big screen after that.
On television, he portrayed icons of history such as South Africa’s first black president, Nelson Mandela, and the first Black justice on the US Supreme Court, Thurgood Marshall.

And in 1997, he took up a ceremonial post as Bahamian ambassador to Japan.
He was awarded the US Presidential Medal of Freedom – the country’s highest civilian honor – by Barack Obama in 2009.
Poitier was married to his second wife Joanna since 1976, and had six children as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
