Why 22 April is celebrated as Earth Day?History of Earth Day:
Earth Day was first celebrated on April 22, 1970. This was when the peace activist John Mc Connell proposed to honour Mother Earth and the concept of peace during a UNESCO conference in San Francisco.
It is the Queen’s 96th birthday today! Her Majesty has been monarch of the United Kingdom for 70 years as well this year, celebrating her Platinum Jubilee. The first picture is of her when she turned 2, and the other is her with her two ponies.

Canada’s longest-running electronic music festival released its 2022 lineup today after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and public health restrictions. Featuring a more diverse lineup than ever seen before, the Shambhala 2022 roster stacks world-class headliners alongside Shambhala favourites and up-and-comers that the festival is known for discovering. Guests can catch Amon Tobin Presenting Two Fingers, BBNO$, Chali 2na & Cut Chemist, Channel Tres, Chris Lake, Chris Lorenzo, CloZee, Cordae, DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Premier, Greg Wilson, Justin Martin, Mr. Carmack, Rudimental (DJ Set), Sébastien Léger Modular Live, Slander, Subtronics, TOKiMONSTA, Valentino Khan, What So Not and many more. Shambhala Stage Directors have left guests wondering who the mystery Tier 1 ‘Surprise Set’ will be. With no plans to release the name, the Farmily will have to wait until they get to the farm, though we have been promised this artist will not disappoint. “To say we are thrilled to be back is an understatement. To a lot of us, Shambhala is way more than just a festival. It’s a place where we come back to connect with old friends and make new memories, and to have been starved of that over the last 2 years has been tough. But we’ve taken that time to rediscover who we are both musically and community-wise, and this year’s diverse lineup reflects that. Now we’re looking forward, and the more we keep planning, the more it feels like this year’s Shambhala Music Festival is set to be the most epic party we’ve ever thrown.” said Shambhala Music Festival founder Jimmy Bundschuh. In addition to today’s stacked lineup release, you can expect to see close to 100+ yet to be announced artists roll out as the Living Room, the Grove, the Fractal Forest, the AMP, the Village and the Pagoda each release their own respective lineups. For years now, the redesign of the renowned Village Stage has been under lock and key. This summer, lucky Shambhala attendees will be greeted by the next generation of West Coast Bass legends. Tickets for the 23rd Annual Shambhala Music Festival are already 90% sold out. Early Bird tickets are completely gone and General Admission tickets are expected to move quickly due to high demand from festival goers. General Admission Tickets are listed at $525 CAD. Tickets can be purchased here. In addition to a world-class lineup, festival guests can also expect an array of workshops, performance art, food and artisan vendors, and yoga classes. There are also opportunities to apply for staff and volunteer positions with the festival. Interested applicants can apply here. Running from July 22-25, 2022, the 23rd annual event will take place once again at its permanent location on the Salmo River Ranch in Salmo, British Columbia, Canada.

Winter ends and spring begins with an emotionally charged and powerful lunar cycle. The New Moon in Pisces on March 2nd occurs very near a series of other powerful events including Mars conjunct Pluto in Capricorn, the Sun in Pisces conjunct both Jupiter and Neptune, and Venus and Mars entering Aquarius within 1-minute of each other. These events will set the stage for a cycle of spiritual awakening that will become globally apparent over the course of 2022.
Aries (Mar 21- Apr 19) March will prove eventful. It begins and ends on a charged note. Restrictive authority at the outset may well be met with rebellious reaction. Taking time out to charge your batteries prior to Spring Equinox will prove wise.
Taurus (Apr 20-May 20) March begins on a revolutionary note. Your ambitions will be flowing strongly backed by ardent desires. Making key power-moves early on is likely. Asserting your rights and freedoms will be forefront.
Gemini (May 21-Jun 20) Getting the attention you want and need will take center stage this month. Sorting dreams from fantasies may require discernment. Positively, you will undergo some form of spiritual initiation.
Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Charged and stressful dealings with others continue. You yearn to feel more secure regarding the future and you may find yourself praying, all skepticism aside. Cultivate inner peace and poise as tensions will likely rise steadily.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 22) March begins on a busy note. Both outer activities and inner work are indicated. The inner work may include purging and letting go of the past. The focus will turn to a progressively rich and complex array of relationship dynamics.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) Weaving a playful and creative focus with a socially expansive cycle is emphasized early on this month. This will turn to a busier time with complex exchanges with family and friends before too long. This trend will continue into April but the setting will change.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22) An urge for inward retreat already underway as March begins will continue. Yet, there is work to do especially early on, a continuation from February. This focus could become more playful and possibly romantic, yet dramatic too.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21) A period marked by creative inspiration and an activated imagination carries you into March. The imaginative theme could get carried away a week or two in, however, if you are not careful. A revolutionary impulse will also emerge and keep you busy.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21) Hovering close to home is likely as March begins. This should prove calming and you are wise to take a break from the world for a while. Your energy levels will rise steadily and you will notice your daily rhythm changing, in-tune with the new season.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19) A busy time, both literally and in your mind will be evident as March begins. Expect this on a variety of fronts. Positively, your focus will take on a creative emphasis. Making long-term investments will also be on your mind.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18) A contemplative period regarding your priorities is underway. This focus includes inner work to clear fear, doubt and resistant attitudes. Circumstances will challenge you to accept the accelerating, changing dynamic.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) A pioneering theme carries you into March. Fueled by impulses to assert your sense of individuality, you may also receive inventive epiphanies for strategic action. Take note of these insights as they may come as brief, intuitive flashes.
