Actress Gina Torres (1969) shares your birthday today. You are proactive and dynamic. You are strong minded, vigourous and always strive to succeed. You’re a leader. This is a slower paced year. Take time to rejuvenate and replenish yourself. Focus on business and personal relationships, especially with people who are kind, helpful and have your back.
One step ahead is demanded from you but again, you are trying to delay any important decisions as much as possible.
Some might interpret this as childish while others will actually be quick to find you excuses, perhaps because they know they might be feeling the same. An uneventful day otherwise, especially at work.

On this day, the moon is 28 days old and 3.52% illuminated with a tilt of -65.815°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 359,024.48 km and the moon sign is Aries.
The Moon phase for April 26th, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).
In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.
The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.
The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.
Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.
Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.
Phase: Waning Crescent
Moon age: 28 days
Moon illumination: 3.52%
Moon tilt: -65.815°
Moon angle: 0.55

During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Man said, “Goddess, when I was in the garden, you walked with me every day. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here, and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me.”
And the Goddess said, “No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever, who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be at times, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourself.”
And the Goddess created a new animal to be a companion for Man. And it was a good animal. And the Goddess was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Man, and he wagged his tail a lot.
And Man said, “Goddess, I have already named all the animals on your Earth. I cannot think of a name for this new animal.”
And the Goddess said, “No problem! Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a partial reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG.”
And DOG lived with Man, was a companion to him, and loved him. And DOG was beside Man, all the day long. And Man was comforted. And the Goddess was pleased. And DOG was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that Man’s spirit guide came to the Goddess and said, “Mother, Man has become filled with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock, and he believes he is worthy of adoration. DOG has indeed taught him that he is loved, but perhaps too well.”
And the Goddess said, “No problem! I will create for him a companion who will be with him forever, who will see him as he is. The companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not always worthy of adoration.”
And the Goddess created CAT to be a companion to Man.
And CAT would not obey Man. And CAT would love Man when CAT chose to love Man, and not when Man chose CAT to share affection.
And when Man gazed into CAT’s eyes, he was reminded that he was not the supreme being. And Man learned humility.
And the Goddess was pleased. And Man was greatly improved. And DOG was happy, and wagged his tail.

*** Today you will act with restraint and cautious, common sense. Many of you will choose to work alone or behind the scenes because you’re assessing things and wondering about your next move. You’re not afraid to speak up; but you’re giving thought to what you will say.
*** Today you will express loyalty and support for someone older — either a friend or a charitable organization to which you like to support. Something unexpected might trigger your feelings of responsibility and obligations to others. After all, you care.
** Tread carefully when dealing with authority figures today, which means talking to parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and even the police. Your dealings with them are not predictable. Something unexpected might occur. Fortunately, others will see you as conscientious and reliable.
*** Sudden opportunities to travel might fall in your lap today. Conversely, travel plans might be interrupted. It’s a crapshoot. Meanwhile, you will embrace traditional values when it comes to religious and political issues today because you believe the old ways are tried and true.
** Tread carefully today because unexpected news from bosses or authority figures might impact your financial scene. This could relate to shared responsibilities, shared property, inheritances or banking issues. Stay on top of things so that you are not caught off guard.
** Today you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Therefore, be ready to compromise. Having said this, unexpected opportunities to travel or encounter someone from another culture might catch you off guard. Stay light on your feet so that you can be flexible.
** You are best served today by paying attention to your responsibilities related to your job, your work and even your health. Play by the rules. Do what is expected of you. Nevertheless, cancellations, delays and broken equipment might dog your footsteps. Be resilient.
*** Your responsibilities to children and young people are important today and you will respect these. Others know they can count on you. Meanwhile, pay attention because this might be an accident-prone day for your kids. Social plans might suddenly change. Avoid sports accidents.
** Small appliances might break down today or a minor breakage could occur because something will interrupt your home routine. Perhaps someone unexpected will knock on the door? Nevertheless, you are aware of your responsibilities to care for someone older – and you will.
*** Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign. However, it’s a good day to study and learn something new. Actually, someone older might have interesting news for you. Stay light on your feet because there’s an unpredictable element in the air today.
** Keep your eyes open when it comes to your assets, your money and certainly your possessions because something untoward or unexpected could impact them today. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Do what you can to protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. On the upside, you might improve your job?
*** Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with Uranus as well as lining up with both Saturn and Venus. This is a mixed bag. In one way, things are sudden, changing and unpredictable. Yet, in another way, you will toe the line and stick with what is tried-and-true. (Better safe than sorry.)
Singer, actress, director Barbra Streisand (1942) shares your birthday today. You’re a perfectionist and a humanitarian. You are kind, devoted and protective of loved ones.

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
** This could be a challenging day for you because you might have a dispute with a friend or a group about property, or money issues, or something related to a possession of yours. Perhaps someone has damaged something you own? Or a group won’t cancel a membership fee? It could be anything. Keep your cool.
*** This is a classic day for having difficulty dealing with authority figures – parents, bosses, supervisors, teachers, VIPs, or the police. Unfortunately, these interactions could end up being a clash of wills. This disagreement could be a minor speedbump, or a major problem. Stay chill.
** Today will have some challenges for you; and one challenge might be that others are aware of your difficulties. Some of you might have to let go of something or give up something. But the truth is that down deep, you knew this was inevitable. To stay alive, every year the snake has to shed its skin.
*** You might have to run from ego battles with a friend or a member of a group, especially about shared property or a dispute about an issue. Or maybe you want to face the music? Either way, this could be a testing day for you with anyone who has an agenda.
** Relations with others are strained today. In fact, someone in authority might make demands on you. They might even want you to account for yourself about something? (Your regal nature will not like this. Such treatment is beneath you.) Seek a compromise.
** You might get into a controversial dispute about politics and religion today because people are opinionated and very pushy with their ideas. (Not you, of course.) Be smart and steer clear of the touchy subjects because some people are looking for a fight today.
*** Today is difficult for many people because emotions are running high and people are entrenched in their views. You might encounter this in discussions with someone related to shared property, debt or even shared responsibilities. Use your Libran charm and diplomacy to deal with this.
** You might feel as if someone is testing you today. Or perhaps, that you’re tested by a situation, especially dealing with partners, spouses and close friends. Discussions about relationships and family issues might be blunt and pushy. Go gently.
*** Mechanical breakdowns or equipment problems related to your work or where you live might create stress for you today. Quite possibly, power struggles with coworkers might also take place. Something might be broken beyond repair today.
*** Relationships with many people are tested today. Parents will find that their relations with their own kids are likewise challenging. Therefore, do your best to avoid hissy fits and meltdowns with kids. Don’t get caught up in a power struggle. Be the adult.
** There’s a strong likelihood that family squabbles will arise because of power struggles, especially with parents or older family members. Something might be broken. Someone might be forced to make changes, especially if something isn’t working out. Today could be a harsh reality check.
*** Pay attention to everything you say and do today in order to avoid accidents. Obviously, an accident does not have to happen but if you’re angry or feeling pressured by someone, these feelings might distract you and indirectly create an accident. Stay calm and be mindful.

I am so sorry this is so late in going up. My only reason is it got lost in the shuffle of me trying to post northern and southern hemispheres information for the day before. I am not trying to make an excuse for my tardiness just giving you, my explanation. I hope you can still find this useful, and I will make a note to post the correct Celtic Tree Calendar on time for its next month.
The Willow was a sacred tree to the Celts both for the wide range of materials it provided and for its unique beauty and spiritual presence.
It appears throughout the mythology of many cultures. In the Druid stories, the universe and all mankind was hatched from two scarlet eggs hidden within the willow tree. One egg formed the sun and the other the Earth.
