March
2026
TODAY is Monday, March 30th, the
89th day of 2026, and there are 277 days left in the year. The moon is in Virgo and the season is Spring (element of air - new beginnings, clarity, and the winds of change).
The next sabbat, Beltane, is in 33 days. Today's moon is waxing (12.5 days old) and 94% full. The full moon for this phase is on Thursday, April 2nd, and the new moon will be on Friday, April 17th.
In the Native American tradition, the March moon is named the Worm Moon.
Today's Sun Sign is Aries (element of fire), the color is silver (reflection, intuition, lunar connections), and the planet is the Moon (element of water). The incenses of the day are: bay leaf, ginseng, jasmine, myrtle, poppy, rosemary, and lily, and the tarot card of the moment is The Moon. The gods we honor today are Diana, Artemis, Selene, and Luna. The keywords for today are intuition, dreams, psychic ability, female fertility, and the Goddess.
Mercury next goes retrograde from June 29th through July 23rd, 2026 (91 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.
