2026
TODAY is Wednesday, June 3rd, the
154th day of 2026, and there are 212 days left in the year. The moon is in Capricorn and the season is Spring (element of air - new beginnings, clarity, and the winds of change).
The next sabbat, Summer Solstice, is in 18 days. Today's moon is waning (17.8 days old) and 90% full. The full moon for this phase is on Sunday, May 31st, and the new moon will be on Monday, June 15th.
In the Native American tradition, the June moon is named the Strawberry Moon.
Today's Sun Sign is Gemini (element of air), the color is orange (attraction and encouragement), and the planet is Mercury (element of air). The incenses of the day are: storax, mace, and sandalwood, and the tarot card of the moment is The Moon. The gods we honor today are Mercury, Hermes, and Woden. The keywords for today are divination, communications, knowledge, wisdom, and study.
Mercury next goes retrograde from June 29th through July 23rd, 2026 (26 days from now). Communication, intellect, and awareness are all within Mercury's domain, as are logic and reasoning, our manner of thinking, and how we create and express our thought processes. So, when Mercury is retrograde, remain flexible, allow extra time for travel, and avoid signing contracts. Review projects and plans at these times, but wait until Mercury is direct again to make any final decisions.
