2026
TODAY is Saturday, March 28th, the
87th day of 2026, and there are 279 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 35 days. Today's moon is waxing (10.5 days old) and 81% 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 black (negativity and banishment) / deep purple (ambition and power), and the planet is Saturn (elements of water and earth). The incenses of the day are: myrrh, civet, and ironwood, and the tarot card of the moment is King of Cups. The gods we honor today are Saturn and Hecate. The keywords for today are psychic ability, meditation, and communication with spirits.
Mercury next goes retrograde from June 29th through July 23rd, 2026 (93 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.
