2026
TODAY is Monday, March 23rd, the
82nd day of 2026, and there are 284 days left in the year. Today is ruled by the Moon: a favorable time for intuition, dreams, and emotional matters. The moon is in Gemini. In the northern hemisphere, it is Spring, season of Air: new beginnings, clarity, and the winds of change.
The next sabbat, Beltane, is in 39 days. The moon is waxing (5.2 days old) and 27% full. The full moon for this phase is on Thursday, April 2nd, and the new moon will be on Friday, April 17th.
According to Native American tradition, the March moon is called the Worm Moon.
The current 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 Today's incenses are bay leaf, ginseng, jasmine, myrtle, poppy, rosemary, and lily, and the tarot card of the moment is Temperance. 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 is currently retrograde — this shadow period runs through March 26th (3 days remaining). 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. Remain flexible, allow extra time for travel, and avoid signing contracts until Mercury is direct again.
