Moon Folklore
- A bright first Moon promises rain and a bountiful harvest; a red-tinted Moon means a dry year.
- A growing Moon and a flowing tide are lucky times to marry.
- A halo around the Moon predicts wet or stormy weather.
The tradition of naming Full Moons dates back centuries. Long before calendars were invented, people relied on lunar cycles to track time. As the most prominent lunar phase, the Full Moon held special significance. The Full Moon names were used to mark specific times of the year. Some are tied to seasonal activities and agricultural practices, while others reflect natural events that typically occur during that time.

Mercury Retrograde 2026
According to astrological forecasts, Mercury will retrograde in 2026:
First Retrograde February 26-March 20, 2026 (EST)
Second Retrograde June 29-July 23, 2026 (EST)
Third Retrograde October 24-November 13, 2026 (EST)
Mercury Retrograde is a phenomenon that occurs three or four times a year, for about three weeks at a time. It is thought that these periods throughout the year significantly influence mood and actions. These times are associated with delays, confusions, disrupted travel plans and mechanical failures. The best use of your time during Mercury retrograde is to plan, reconnoiter and gather information, but never to start or establish anything. Think of car breakdowns, computer glitches and misunderstandings.
The appearance of retrograde takes place when planets moving across the sky in our solar system orbit at different distances and speeds, and from our perspective appear to switch directions. This is an illusion caused by Earth's position in relation to the planet's orbit.
Mercury retrograde are the times when you leave early for work, make sure you spell check emails before hitting the send button and confirm your appointments.
