…
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:

Divination Journal
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
Source: thetarotlady.com
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.”

Sound: “i”, “e”, “j” as in the “y” in “year”

Casting meaning: Ice is unchanging and restricting and like ice this rune embodies the resistant power that tries to prevent change.
Witch’s Rune
Rings
Think: Unbreakable bonds are between these rings.
Remember: Positive. You can’t do it alone, so form the right and lasting alliances. There may be a business partnership, a marriage, or other team formation. Seek out a partnership if none exists in the matter at hand.
Ogham

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.

Connected to the deep mystery’s of life that we at times can get into a stillness and if we don’t awaken from that stillness the waves of the water will imprison us and trap us in our own sabotage. But if we let the waves carry us along its own current we can find the deep answers to the mysteries we seek.

Beith/Beth
The first letter of the ogham tree alphabet, Beith stands for birch, and corresponds to the letter B. Also called Beth, it represents new beginnings, change, and rebirth. In Celtic legend, the first ogham ever written was Beith, which served as a warning and protective talisman of the god Ogma.
Its symbolism is derived from the birch, a pioneer tree that first repopulated the region after the Ice Age. The symbol has strong associations with spring and the Beltane festival, being the chosen tree for the maypole and the fuel for the Beltane fires. The birch is also associated with Bloddeuwedd, the Welsh goddess of flowers and springtime.
Symbolically, Beith protects one against all harm, physical and spiritual. The birch is also known as the white tree, associating it with purity, and is used for purification and removing bad luck.

Hexagram Sixty – Two/62
Hsiao Kuo / Lying Low
Thunder high on the Mountain, active passivity:
The Superior Person is unsurpassed in his ability to remain small.
In a time for humility, he is supremely modest.
In a time of mourning, he uplifts with somber reverence.
In a time of want, he is resourcefully frugal.
When a bird flies too high, its song is lost.
Rather than push upward now, it is best to remain below.
This will bring surprising good fortune, if you keep to your course.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
There is no profit to striving here.
To be content with oneself is the greatest success imaginable.
The enlightened person has nothing to prove to himself or others, and thus may always operate from a position of sincerity, with no pretense or posturing.
His humility is guileless simplicity.
His mourning is selfless compassion.
His frugality is an unshakeable faith that he is but a conduit, letting what is needed flow through him to others, with no loss to himself.

Sixty – Two
The basic meaning of angel number “62” is “trust the world” and “believe that small life problems work like miracles”.
Angel number “62” conveys the message that even if life does not go well or is hurt by relationships, it should not be a resentment or disbelief in “the world / human beings (people)”.
Believe that the essence of people is “good” and treat them kindly, even if not all human beings seem right.
Doing so may increase your fortune and miraculously clear up minor life problems.

As a Taurus born on May 8th…
Astrological symbol: Bull. This symbol is representative for those born April 20 – May 20, when the Sun transits the Taurus zodiac sign and brings back the story of Zeus transforming in a bull to attract Europa in Greek mythology.
The Taurus Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac, with the brightest star being Aldebaran. It lies between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East, covering an area of 797 square degrees between visible latitudes of +90° and -65°.
The Latin name for the Bull, the May 8 zodiac sign is Taurus. The French name it Taureau while the Italians say it is Toro.
Opposite sign: Scorpio. This means that this sign and Taurus are a straight line across each other on the zodiac wheel and can create an opposition aspect. This suggests nicety and perceptiveness as well as an interesting cooperation between the two sun signs.
Modality: Fixed. This can reveal how much magnetism and entertainment exists in the lives of those born on May 8 and how original 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 planet is said to govern over love and critique and also reflects the wits inheritance. Venus is consistent with Aphrodite, the goddess of love in Greek mythology.
Element: Earth. This element suggests orderliness and an interestingly cautious enthusiasm in the lives of people born under May 8 sign.
Lucky day: Friday. This is a day ruled by Venus, therefore symbolizes creativity and friendship and identifies best with the Taurus natives who are serious.
Lucky numbers: 1, 3, 12, 19, 23.
Motto: “I own!”
People born on May 8 have an assiduous frame of mind and are usually more accommodating than tough. However if the setting requires they know how to politely avoid controversy. Just like a true Taurus, they need a lot of cohesion and seem to be doing just great in using their bull headedness to achieve their objectives. They appreciate having precious things and spending time in a familiar and cordial atmosphere. They dislike life fluctuations and controversy. Those born under this sign enjoy spending time in nature where they can easily disconnect and chill.
Positive Traits: These natives are warm hearted and reliable so they often get involved in a series of things without really knowing what hardships are along the way but they do respect their word in any way. Not only they are trustworthy but also they ask for the same attitude from those around them and are in need of security and confidence. They are generous to those who meet their high standards.
Negative Traits: These individuals need to understand that they should stop being so indecisive and so quick to take on criticism. On the other hand, there is no need to feel as easily offended as they do and they should try and worry less about these things that seems to get on their nerves. They are also extremely self indulgent and they should put higher standards to themselves because surely they can achieve them. If they want to achieve that comfortable life they crave for, they should also learn to stop settling for less than they feel they deserve.
Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on May 8 are passionate and adventurous. They prefer to form serious relationships rather than date around so they do find accomplishment when they settle down. They are attracted to refined but enthusiastic persons, they love to spoil their partner but in the same time they need to feel like they can also depend on the other person, for better or worse. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you give them enough space but also if you maintain your personality and lively spirit. The single Taurus knows how to enjoy their personal time and is not in any hurry to enter a relationship unless they really want to.
May 8 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 color defined for May 8 and in general for Taurus natives.
Green is a hue that indicates growth and fertility. Grass green is believed to be the most restful color. This hue is placed in great harmony with the moments of calm and shyness of Taurus. This zodiac color should be used for objects that are sitting in places where these natives spend most of their time.

The Moon phase for May 8th, 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.
Fun fact:
Phase Details:
Moon age: 20.74 days
Moon illumination: 68.33%
Moon tilt: -64.562°

PERTH
Initiation, Something Concealed, A Secret Thing
Deep, inner trans formative powers are interacting, but what you are going to get out of them isn’t easy to recognize. An integrity – concealed, disguised, secretly hidden. After all, what is going to heal us and our soul is a deep mystery. On the side of the material world there probably will be surprises; unexpected profits are nothing to be excluded. Nothing less than a renewal your spirit is the risk you take. The old way found its end: You simply cannot repeat the old things any longer without suffering. However, you always have a chance: Either you see all negative as a “misfortune”, or you recognize the entire as a hindrance stretch, an inaugural way that you have to follow at this moment.

Coll
C, sometimes read as K, is Coll, which is the Hazel tree. August is known as the Hazel Moon, because this is when Hazel nuts appear on the trees–the world Coll translates to “the life force inside you”, and what better symbol of life than the nut itself? Hazel is associated with wisdom and creativity and knowledge. Sometimes it is connected in Celtic lore with magical springs, sacred wells, and divination.
Hazel was a handy tree to have around. It was used by many English pilgrims to make staffs for use upon the road–not only was it a sturdy walking stick, it also provided a modicum of self-defense for weary travelers. Certainly, it could have been used as well for ritual. Hazel was used in weaving of baskets by medieval folk, and the leaves were fed to cattle because it was believed this would increase the cow’s supply of milk.
In the Irish myth cycles, there is a tale that nine hazel nuts dropped into a sacred pool. A salmon came along in the pool and gobbled up the nuts, which then imbued him with wisdom. A variation of the story appears in the legend of Finn Mac Cumhail, who ate the salmon and then took on the knowledge and wisdom of the fish. Note that Mac Cumhail is often translated as Mac Coll.
Coll Correspondences
Mundane Aspects: Take advantage of your own artistry or creativity, and share your knowledge with others so they too can practice these arts. Lead by example, and teach those who wish to learn. Find inspiration for your creative gifts, whatever your talent may be.
Magical Aspects: Let the divine guide you in your creative journey. Speak to the gods through your art, and be rewarded with inspiration. If you’re stuck in a creative rut, call upon the Divine to send you a Muse.

When you see Angel Number 35, it’s time to determine what you need and what you don’t need very sharply and precisely. I think you often worry about what to leave and which to release. But when you see Angel Number 35, it’s a very smooth and accurate time to do it. In other words, Angel Number 35 is sending you a message that you will take the plunge away from what you don’t need as you grow up.
