The Moon phase for May 10th, 2026 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:

Lady Carla Beltane picks out the symbol, rune, tarot card, etc., but the information is from the website in the hyperlink or from a book. The description of these is one person’s view on them.

Tarot Card

The Hermit – Major Arcana

Keywords: inner wisdom, solitude, withdrawal, quiet, teacher or guru, research, seeker

Attributes: Virgo (Earth)

General meaning:  In order to get the answers you seek, it may be time to turn inward.  Shut out your distractions so that you may discover the wisdom within.  Answers are rarely found in another – everything you need is within yourself.  This card can also indicate a need to withdraw from circumstances in order to get a better perspective.  Sometimes a player needs a break from the grind.

Reversed:  Repeating your past mistakes.  Not learning.  This can indicate a lack of wisdom. Doing things without thinking of the consequences.  It can also indicate the extremes of solitude – like being some sort of creepy recluse.  Don’t lock yourself away.  It gets mighty lonely on that mountain top.

Affirmation: “Everything I need is within me.  I don’t need to look outside myself for answers.”

Duir or Dair

Pronunciation – Doo-r

Tree Association – oak

Meaning – Strength, security, resilience, endurance, wisdom, sacred spaces, leadership, and kindness. All your hard work and education have paid off. Like the oak, you stand tall and mighty. You are in a beneficial situation (family, work, financially, creative, relationship, etc.), and this circumstance will stay that way for quite a while. Trust yourself! Also, oak represents the intense energy and power of storms and wind. Symbolic of the endurance and stamina you possess that allows you to flourish and thrive.

If reversed – cowardly, uncertain, or frail. You have not been acting kindly or fairly in your leadership role. It’s ok to lack knowledge and facts, but do not make it a common practice.

Inscription and Magical Uses – Inscribe this ogham on an acorn for good luck in job interviews, courage, or pursuing justice. Duir is an excellent ogham inscription to keep at work. Helpful when working when storms, lightning, or the element air. It can also be used in healing or for those who need reminders of their resilience, profound strength, and tenacity.

Folklore – Oak trees are considered sacred guardians. They are an excellent place to meditate beneath or seek strength and assurance. If you catch an oak leaf before it touches the ground, you will have excellent health throughout the cold winter months. Representative of the Oak King, who marks the beginning and climax of the Summer Solstice.

 Hexagram Twenty-Three/23

Name: Po.

Keyphrase: Splitting apart.

Formed By The Trigrams: Mountain over Earth.

General: Before beginning a new enterprise you should wait for the collapse of the old one.

Love: Your current relationship or an issue within your relationship should be abandoned.

Business: Your current business direction has become difficult and it should be revised at the very least, or abandoned if revision is not possible.

Personal: Serious thought should be given to backing away from any situations that are troublesome.

Overview: Po is a reminder that no matter how strongly something was originally built it will eventually disintegrate with time. Once the “foundations” have been undermined it is only tenuously held together. Such a situation is no longer worth trying to save. Although it is always difficult to give up on a situation do not waste time on formulating a new plan and direction. The disaster implied by Po is not the situation itself but the failure to react to it and regain your balance and direction.

Being a Taurus born on May 9th,

 Astrological symbol: Bull. The sign of the Bull influences people born between April 20 and May 20, when in tropical astrology the Sun is considered to be in Taurus. It refers to willful individuals with a lot of stamina and confidence.

 The Taurus Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac, with the brightest star being Aldebaran. It covers an area of 797 square degrees. It lies between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East, covering visible latitudes between +90° and -65°.

 The French name it Taureau while the Italians prefer their own Toro, however the origin of the May 9 zodiac sign, the Bull, is the Latin Taurus.

 Opposite sign: Scorpio. This means that this sign and Taurus sun sign are in a complementary relation, suggesting relaxation and extremes and what one has the other lacks and the other way around.

 Modality: Fixed. This reveals resourcefulness and rest and also how shy natives born on May 9 are in reality.

 Ruling house: The second house. This means that Taurians are twice influenced in their quest for personal possessions and a life of luxury as this house deals with everything that is important to an individual in life.

 Ruling body: Venus. This association reveals romance and persistence. The Venus glyph is the upright symbol of Mars, opposing its masculine energy. Venus also shares an insight on productivity.

 Element: Earth. This is an element with multiple significances in relationship to the other three as it assimilates air and lets itself be shaped by water and fire. It rules over the sense of justice and awareness of those born on May 9.

 Lucky day: Friday. Ruled by Venus this day symbolizes attraction and allure and seems to have the same mysterious flow as the lives of Taurus individuals.
