The Moon phase for May 2nd, 2026 is a Waning Gibbous phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon where the illumination of the moon decreases each day until it reaches 50% (the Last Quarter phase).
The waning (shrinking) gibbous Moon will rise after sunset in the east, transit the meridian after midnight, before setting after sunrise in the west.
During this phase, the illumination of the moon will go down from 99.% to 50.1%. Technically, the phase starts as soon as the Full Moon has passed, but it can be difficult to calculate and differentiate the first stage of a Waning Gibbous Moon from a Full Moon when 98-99% of the Moon’s surface is illuminated.

Flashback to 2022 – Spell for Beltane – Charm to “Tie the Knot”

Beltane Charm to “Tie the Knot”
Much as the Great God and Great Goddess are said to “tie the knot” of marriage at Beltane, we can create our own knot-based magickal charm to honor this ancient and festive sabbat of which the tied-up Maypole is its emblem! When it comes to Beltane a vast majority of ancient pagans – and certainly any Neopagan worth their salt – understands that gender and orientation are of little consequence. Love is love. Whoever we are and however we are, let’s craft a charm of nine loving knots. Feel free to chant the traditional Wiccan knot spell* if it aids your focus. This can be found online and in a variety of Witchcraft books.
Using a long strip of natural fabric (red or white are ideal), tie nine knots, each of which should contain within a small stone, herb, charm, or written prayer specifically for the energy of love** – cosmic, social, and personal – however your intuition guides. After preforming your magick, hang the charm near the front door or bedroom in order for its blessing to illuminate today and onward.

The Moon phase for May 1st, 2026 is the Full Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is 100% illuminated when seen from Earth (hence the name Full Moon).
The Full Moon happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The sunlight fully illuminated the moon, and this is what we call being “full”. The moon will be visible throughout the night sky as it rises at sunset in the east, transits the meridian at midnight, before setting at sunrise in the west.
The specific point at which the Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time that passes between full moons is called the Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long.

April 30, 2026 Current Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

…
The Moon phase for today is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).
In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.
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.

(One Person’s View Point) Beltane Sunset to Sunset. April 30th – May 1st
Beltane honours Life. It represents the peak of Spring and the beginning of Summer. Earth energies are at their strongest and most active. All of life is bursting with potent fertility and at this point in the Wheel of the Year, the potential becomes conception. On May Eve the sexuality of life and the earth is at its peak. Abundant fertility, on all levels, is the central theme. The Maiden goddess has reached her fullness. She is the manifestation of growth and renewal, Flora, the Goddess of Spring, the May Queen, the May Bride. The Young Oak King, as Jack-In-The-Green, as the Green Man, falls in love with her and wins her hand. The union is consummated and the May Queen becomes pregnant. Together the May Queen and the May King are symbols of the Sacred Marriage (or Heiros Gamos), the union of Earth and Sky, and this union has merrily been re-enacted by humans throughout the centuries. For this is the night of the Greenwood Marriage. It is about sexuality and sensuality, passion, vitality and joy. And about conception. A brilliant moment in the Wheel of the Year to bring ideas, hopes and dreams into action. And have some fun…..
Traditions of Beltane
Beltane is a Fire Festival. The word ‘Beltane’ originates from the Celtic God ‘Bel’, meaning ‘the bright one’ and the Gaelic word ‘teine’ meaning fire. Together they make ‘Bright Fire’, or ‘Goodly Fire’ and traditionally bonfires were lit to honour the Sun and encourage the support of Bel and the Sun’s light to nurture the emerging future harvest and protect the community. Bel had to be won over through human effort. Traditionally all fires in the community were put out and a special fire was kindled for Beltane. “This was the Tein-eigen, the need fire. People jumped the fire to purify, cleanse and to bring fertility. Couples jumped the fire together to pledge themselves to each other. Cattle and other animals were driven through the smoke as a protection from disease and to bring fertility. At the end of the evening, the villagers would take some of the Teineigen to start their fires anew.” (From Sacred Celebrations by Glennie Kindred) Green Man – Beltane

April 29, 2026 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

…
The Moon phase for April 29th, 2026 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).
In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.
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.

Magpie
The magpie is one of the most intelligent birds on the planet. It is one of the very few birds that can produce a wide range of calls and songs.
Having a magpie as your spirit animal draws attention to your wide array of skills and talents. When this black and white bird flies into your life, it means you are no ordinary person.
This bird is attracted to shiny objects, and it has been known to swoop down and make away with pieces of jewelry.
This reflects on your personality as a go-getter. You don’t wait for things to happen in your world: you push them to happen.
In many cultures and mythologies, the magpie signifies good luck, progress, and success.

Bjarkan

Casting meaning: The birch twig represents rebirth and purification as does the rune Bjarkan. It is also a woman’s rune symbolizing gestation and birth.

Crossed Spears
Keywords: Arguments, negativity.
Meanings: The Crossed Spears is a rune that signifies arguments and negative events. Often this can be of an upsetting nature, rather like the Tower card in the tarot. It is not all bad though. If it is near to a positive rune it may indicate the end of a quarrel and healing. Especially if it lies near the Rings. This rune could mean a promotion at work, or a fast recovery if you’re ill.

Nion/Nin
N is for Nion, sometimes called Nuin, which is connected to the Ash tree. Ash is one of three trees which were sacred to the Druids (Ash, Oak and Thorn), and connects the inner self to the outer worlds. This is a symbol of connections and creativity, and transitions between the worlds.
In Norse legend, Yggdrasil, the World Tree, is an Ash. Its roots grew down far into the Underworld, and its branches reached all the way up into the heavens. Odin hung himself from the tree for nine days as a sacrifice. Ash also features prominently in the Irish myth cycles, and is often depicted growing beside a well or pool of wisdom.
Nion Correspondences
Mundane Aspects: Remember that for every action, there is a consequence, and these effect not only ourselves but others as well. What we do in our life will carry into the future and possibly even beyond. Every one of our words and deeds has some sort of impact.
Magical Aspects: The Universe is like a giant web. Strands bind us all together, either closely or at a distance. We are all connected in one way or another, so it is important to find harmony between the spiritual realm and the physical, and between all living beings. Endeavor to live a spiritual life that considers the needs of the natural world around you.

Hexagram Twenty – Three/23
Po / Splitting Apart
The weight of the Mountain presses down upon a weak foundation of Earth:
The Superior Person will use this time of oppression to attend to the needs of those less fortunate.
Any action would be ill-timed.
Stand fast.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
This is a situation easily mistaken for Stagnation (Hexagram 12) or Revolution (Hexagram 49).
It just depends on which side you’re on.
During a time of Stagnation, human worms invade to feed on the decay.
During a time of Revolution, oppression is being overthrown.
But in this situation, oppressors are violently seizing power.
Pay special heed when you receive this hexagram, because the oracle is often warning you of a situation of which you are totally unaware.
You are about to be blindsided.
Numerology

Two
Two, as one of the Core Numbers, is an Axis of Symmetry, a point of equilibrium which provides peace to your inner world. Any disturbance of this condition you perceive as a direct threat to life and well-being. It provokes you to action with the main goal of the restoration of order and harmony in the world.Intuitive confidence in the rationality and justice of the world order makes you stick to the view that all the troubles come from the people’s inability to hear and understand each other. Therefore you voluntarily assume the responsibility of a peacemaker.
Positive qualities
The list of positive qualities of the Two fully matches the list of canonical human virtues. They are good nature, peacefulness, generosity, ethic and tact based on intuition, insight and understanding of the human soul.
Add romantic, artistic nature and an exceptional sense of beauty here, and you get a genuine Masterpiece. One can only regret that it is almost impossible to have this figure in all numbers of the numerological core, and that people whose positive qualities completely supersede all the negative ones simply don’t exist.
One should clearly see the borderline between diplomacy and commitment to the peaceful coexistence, and compliance and timidity.
Negative qualities
The most obvious negative qualities of the Two are the disposition to dependent position, appeasement, depression and indecisiveness.
Being passive can cause undue flexibility in matters of principle which should inevitably lead to failures in all spheres of life, and as a consequence, resentment of oneself, anger and alienation.
One should clearly see the borderline between diplomacy and commitment to the peaceful coexistence, and compliance and timidity.

As a Taurus born on April 28th…
Astrological symbol: Bull. This is the symbol of the Taurus zodiac for people born April 20 – May 20. It suggests natives that are tactful but also courageous and confident.
The Taurus Constellation is spread on an area of 797 sq degrees between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East. Its visible latitudes are +90° to -65° and the brightest star is Aldebaran.
The Bull is named from the Latin Taurus, the zodiac sign for April 28. In Italy it is named Toro while the Spanish call it Tauro.
Opposite sign: Scorpio. This is important because it reflects upon the friendliness and persistence of Scorpio natives who are thought to be and have everything those born under the Taurus sun sign want.
Modality: Fixed. This presents how much extremes and seriousness exists in the lives of those born on April 28 and how logical they are in general.
Ruling house: The second house. This is the space of material possession and other things an individual values in life. The combination with Taurus can only double his/her quest for personal possession, whether we’re talking about money or principles.
Ruling body: Venus. This celestial planet is said to influence generosity and intelligence. It is also to be mentioned about the tidiness of these natives. Venus is one of the planets with double rulership, over Taurus and Libra.
Element: Earth. This is the element responsible to the practicality and down to earthiness in the lives of those born on April 28. It is modeled by water and fire and incorporates air.
Lucky day: Friday. Taurus best identifies with the flow of the illuminating Friday while this is doubled by the connection between Friday and its ruling by Venus.
Lucky numbers: 2, 4, 13, 19, 26.
Motto: “I own!”
People born on April 28 are peaceful and elegant and they often borrow this attitude to those they come in contact with. There is something calming and soothing about their presence, maybe because they are security conscious and prefer comfortable settings. On this note, they also avoid uncertainty at all costs. They are faithful and tactful but can also be direct and decisive when matters of great importance for them arise.
Positive Traits: These natives are persistent and convincing when they want something but at the same time, they never abandon their elegance and politeness. They are highly reliable so they keep their promises, especially when their reputation is at stake. They are generous and affectionate but it is also quick for them to turn a cold shoulder if you are not behaving in the same respectable way as they do.
Negative Traits: These natives are prone to building up anguish and emotions of unworthiness as they dwell in their own perceived deficiencies rather than find mechanism to beat them up. They are quite irritable in regard a lot of things, often insecure and are desirous, although they try to appear stable, poised and assured. They need to understand that the intervention of those close can be beneficial at times and they need to learn to make settlings at times.
Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on April 28 are passionate and committed. They are rather affectionate and stable rather than adventurous and they prefer to settle for a serious relationship rather than date many people. They are attracted to creative and fun people whom can keep their interest alive and with whom they can spoil and protect. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you are all eyes on them but also maintain your individuality and degree of independence. This single native is not making a drama out of his single status but even enjoys time alone and enters a relationship only when is prepared to.
April 28 Zodiac people are very attached to the other two earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Taurus is in a constant search for someone attractive and mysterious that can keep their interest alive and the one to offer them this is the native in Scorpio. The lover in Taurus is thought to be least compatible with Aries. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Taurus, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.
Lucky Color: Green is the representative color for those born under the April 28.
Green symbolizes fertility and growth and is considered to be a color of the earth. This zodiac color should be used for objects that are sitting in places where these natives spend most of their time.
People having green as sign color are balanced, friendly and down to earth nurturers by choice. Green is favored by lively, generous people that have high moral standards and for whom doing the right thing is most important.
Other colors that suit Taurus natives are pink, yellow and most earth tones.
Representative Birthstone: The lucky Taurus birthstone for those born under the April 28 is represented by Emerald.
Emerald suggests rebirth, regeneration and is in a strong relation with the goddess of life. The zodiac birthstone could be used in accessories and jewelry items.
This precious material is known to open up the channels of communication and creativity. It can also boost self esteem and faith for the wearer. It can boost creativity and self esteem in even the most unconfident person.
Another gemstone considered beneficial for Taurus natives is Lapis Lazuli. It represents wisdom and truth.
Characteristic Flower: The flower used in astrology for those with April 28 is Poppy.
Poppy is a plant that symbolizes refinery and sensibility of the soul. This zodiac flower should be used in decorations and other accessories.
This fiery red flower reveals a classy and elegant individual. This plant can be found during late spring and early summer.
Other plants indicated for Taurus are Violets and Lilies.
Symbolic Metal: Copper is the metal said to be representative for Taurus people born with April 28.
This is a metal that symbolizes spontaneity and a helping nature. This zodiac metal could be used in accessories and decorative objects.
Copper is a metal of currency and prosperity. One of the first materials discovered by mankind, this metal is said to bring prosperity and influence romantic affairs.
Another metal considered beneficial for Taurus natives is Steel.
Characteristics: April 28 Zodiac belongs to the first decan of TAURUS (April 20-April 29). This decan is influenced by the planet Venus. Those born under this influence combine the romantic and affective nature of Taurus with the passion and sensuality of Venus. This decan is known to magnify all the positive and negative characteristics of the Taurus zodiac sign.
Statistics Say: In the Gregorian Calendar, April 28 is placed as the 118th day of the year or the 119th day in leap years and there are 247 days left until the end of the year. The fifty ninth day of spring, this is also the World Day for Safety and Health at Work.

Spell For Tomorrow or Any Day – Jar Spells in Folk Magic
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY.)
Jar Spells in Folk Magic
In many traditions of folk magic, particularly in North America, a spell is sealed inside a jar, bottle or other container. This serves a number of purposes – the first being that it keeps the magic concentrated, and prevents it from escaping before the spell has been completed. The other nice feature of a jar or bottle spell is its portability – you can take it anywhere you like, whether it’s buried under a doorstep, tucked into a hollow tree, placed gently upon your mantle, or dropped into a port-a-john.
Perhaps the best known type of jar spell is the witch bottle. In early times, the bottle was designed as a way to protect oneself from malicious witchcraft and sorcery. In particular, around the time of Samhain, homeowners might create a witch bottle to keep evil spirits from entering the home on Hallow’s Eve. The witch bottle was usually made of pottery or glass, and included sharp objects such as pins and bent nails. It typically contained urine as well, belonging to the homeowner, as a magical link to the property and family within.
What sort of container you use in a jar spell or bottle spell will partially depend on the intent of your working. For instance, if you’re hoping to do magic to facilitate healing and wellness, consider putting your spell ingredients into a medicine bottle, pill container, or apothecary style jar.
A spell done to “sweeten” someone’s attitude can be done with a jar of honey. In some forms of Hoodoo and folk magic, honey is used to sweeten someone’s feelings towards you.
In one traditional spell, honey is poured into a jar or saucer on top of a slip of paper containing the person’s name. A candle is placed in the saucer, and burned until it goes out on its own. In another variation, the candle itself is dressed with honey.
You can make a banishing spell in a jar as well. In some traditions of southern rootwork, a jar of hot sauce is used for this process. The name of the person you wish to be rid of is written on a slip of paper, and stuffed into the jar of the hottest hot sauce you can find. Shake the bottle every night for seven nights during a waning moon, and on the final day, get rid of the bottle so the person will “hot-foot it” out of your life. Some people choose to throw the jar into running water, but if you’re concerned about polluting the ocean or river, consider adding it into an existing landfill or dropping it into a port-o-john.
A money jar spell can be done to bring wealth your way – in some traditions nine pennies are used, in others it may be various other coins, and placed in a jar or bottle. In some cases, the jar may be painted green or gold, and then put someplace where it can be seen each day. Eventually, according to tradition, money will start coming towards you.
In some forms of folk magic, vinegar in a jar or bottle is used to make things go bad. A well-known hex involves placing numerous magical links to the person you want to curse into a jar, filling it with vinegar, and then performing a variety of other actions on the jar, from shaking it to smashing it, depending on the spell in use.
Keep in mind that spell jars can be plain and simple, or you can decorate them to look pretty. The nice thing about a decorative, attractive jar is that you can leave them anywhere you like, and no one will even realize that magic is afoot.
