88th day of 2026, and there are 278 days left in the year. The moon is in Leo and the season is Spring (element of air - new beginnings, clarity, and the winds of change).
The next sabbat, Beltane, is in 34 days. Today's moon is waxing (11.5 days old) and 88% full. The full moon for this phase is on Thursday, April 2nd, and the new moon will be on Friday, April 17th.

Today's Sun Sign is Aries (element of fire), the color is gold (financial gain, business endeavors, solar connections), and the planet is the Sun (element of fire). The incenses of the day are: cloves, cinnamon, frankincense, laurel, and myrrh, and the tarot card of the moment is Page of Pentacles. The gods we honor today are Brigid, Helios, and Apollo. The keywords for today are power, prosperity, health, banishing evil, and exorcism.
Mercury next goes retrograde from June 29th through July 23rd, 2026 (92 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.
