Notable Celestial Events for 2026
To truly master your Wiccan holidays 2026 planning, keep an eye on these two rare occurrences:
The Total Lunar Eclipse (March 3)
The “Blood Moon” in March occurs during the Worm Moon. This is an ideal time for deep shadow work, releasing old habits, and intense divination, as the earth’s shadow completely covers the moon.
The Beltane Full Moon (May 1)
In a rare coincidence, the Flower Moon falls exactly on Beltane. This double-dose of lunar and solar energy makes May 1st the most potent day of the year for rituals involving manifestation, passion, and creativity.
