    Free Vedic Astrology Forecast 2026: Blue Moon, Red Moon & Celestial Magic

    Magickal Greetings of the New Year of 2026!

    This will be no ordinary year in the skies. It carries an extra full moon – that ‘once in a’ Blue Moon, plus powerful eclipses including a blood Red Full Moon, and rare planetary movements that invite us to slow down, tune in, and work with cosmic timing rather than against it.

    This is a year that rewards intuition, patience, and conscious intention especially for those who work with lunar cycles, spiritual practices, or magickal timing. 2026 is not about constant forward motion. This is a year to work with lunar cycles, honour rest as much as action, protect your energy during eclipses and trust intuition over impulse. Those who move gently, listen deeply, and align with the rhythms of the year are likely to find 2026 quietly liberating.

    I cannot overemphasize that Vedic or Sidereal astrology is much more accurate with respect to the actual positions of planets as seen from earth, in contrast with western astrological data which has fallen out of line. Moreover Vedic astrology is quite magically potent with remedies available for every issue in the form of gems, mantras and rituals.

    Therefore , I highly recommend that readers who enjoy precise dates, planetary tables, and monthly predictions with more detailed explanations, download my FREE detailed ephemeris and forecast in PDF format (available at the end of this article.)

    A Rare Gift: The Blue Moon Year

    One of the standout features of 2026 is the presence of 13 full moons instead of the usual 12, thanks to a Blue Moon in May — when two full moons fall in the same calendar month. Traditionally, full moons represent culmination, fulfillment, and manifestation.
    An extra full moon is therefore seen as a symbolic bonus. It is a chance to make a special heartfelt wish with amplified power. If you work with moon rituals, this year offers extra opportunities to reflect on the past, realign with the present, and consciously manifest the best possible future.

    Eclipse Times: Pause, Protect, and Recalibrate

    The year 2026 also brings four eclipses, which act as energetic checkpoints in the year. February and March open the year with a solar eclipse followed by a dramatic lunar Red Moon eclipse, while August brings a second eclipse season, including a total solar eclipse and a partial lunar eclipse within the same month.

    Eclipses are traditionally viewed as times of heightened sensitivity and unpredictability. Rather than pushing forward aggressively, they encourage rest and reflection, spiritual protection and grounding, clearing negative patterns, especially avoiding risky new ventures during the peak eclipse window. These are powerful moments for inner work rather than outward action.

    The Annual Forecast

    The year begins with strong ancestral and reflective energy, combined with two powerful eclipses. This is a powerful time for spiritual cleansing and intention-setting rather than bold action.

    A progress into the year reveals gentler, more supportive energy. Creative ideas begin to flow while relationships soften and heal. The Blue Moon amplifies manifestation work for growth, beauty, and rebuilding confidence.

    The heart of the year carries intensity as retrogrades deepen and eclipse energy returns. Emotions may feel heightened too. Rather than resisting, this phase rewards patience, emotional intelligence, and conscious boundary-setting. Spiritual protection practices are especially beneficial here.

    The final months of the year focus on relationship reassessment, karmic closures and spiritual rebirths. The year ends by preparing you to step forward more visibly and confidently in the cycle ahead.

  • Midsummer Night’s Dream

    Midsummer Night’s Dream

    When the sun is so high and the moon is so full

    When you feel the strong veil of a mystery’s pull

    Dance to the rhythm and sing to the tune

    This midsummer night’s dream is about to end soon

    For ages and aeons you wandered aside

    Searching for signs in the dark of midnight

    You spoke to the faerie and talked to the gods

    You built walls of magick against all the odds

    As you cast every spell and you brewed every potion

    With cards and your runes faced the glimpse of intuition

    You made up your life and its every adventure

    Its crests and its falls in your fountain of splendour

    Reveling in moments with joy and delight

    You danced in the shadows and took astral flight

    You marveled and praised the creations of mind

    While the truth everywhere and threadbare you could find

    To know and to will and to dare are the keys

    But you won’t find the door till you just silent be

  • Full Moon Names and Significances for Each Month

    Astrology is not a tool to make fixed prediction but a tool with which we understand the messages from the higher self through the language of symbols called Divination. The Moon in astrology signifies the play of light and dark as it waxes (Shukla Paksha) and wanes (Krishna Paksha) in its approximately 29.5 day period from one full moon to another. For this reason moon is connected with our mind, the conscious and the unconscious as we play out our hopes, fears, emotions and thoughts relaying into the world around us. Full moons or Purnimas indicate full consciousness while partially illuminated moon signifies the subconscious andamavasya or ‘no moon’ signifies the unconscious. This makes the Full Moon a positive symbol of self-awareness.full-moon-595653_960_720

  • The Guru Principle

    The Guru Principle

    Who is Guru?
    A pundit who makes predictions and performs poojas?
    A teacher who gives knowledge to disciples?
    A planet called jupiter?

    A guru is the true teacher, the higher self. Its that part of us which is timeless wisdom. 
    When we are ready and willing for spiritual illumination, the guru appears in a form we can relate to. A teacher, a friend, a close companion, a dream, a message, an animal, a book or simply silence. The guru teaches. But only we can learn. The guru cannot do that for us.
    No matter how many gurus you have, you may not really learn unless you ALLOW the learning to happen.
    This is not bookish knowledge we are talking of.
    This requires application of wisdom in life and after.
    This means letting go of past conditioning.
    This requires focus and practice.
    This means you must listen and stop talking…to others, to yourself, and listen to SILENCE.
    This requires opening up to your infinite potential.
    This requires dedicating yourself to finding your purpose and then to staying true to the same.
    This requires character, values, principles.
    This requires giving yourself to the higher self without holding on to attachments.
    This is being selfless.
    This requires you to serve the higher self alone.
    This is surrender and receptivity.
    This is liberation.
    Blessed full moon.

  • Full Moon Night

    Full Moon Night

    Lady, mother, priestess high
    Illuminates the earthy sky
    Brightly shines the nightly queen
    To everyone she can be seen
    Lifting waters at midnight
    Mystery, magick, power, might
    Tonight the moon is full and round
    Do you hear the silence.. its her sound
    Close your eyes and gaze inside
    Or mount your brooms, begin the ride
    The witching hour has just begun
    Join the party, share the fun
    Beware however of the tide
    And tread you not where werewolves hide
    Its nothing but your hidden self
    Those emotions you suppress
    For when the moon seems less than whole
    Who are you in heart and soul
    Do you show the way you feel
    Or use darkness to conceal
    When your moods go high or low
    Do you share and do you show
    Are you scared and do you fear
    And mask with smile your silent tear
    Do you have the notion in your mind
    That being human ain’t divine
    Do you believe in angels more
    And forget the faery lore
    Do you have faith in an outer ‘God’
    Or worship nature as Lady and Lord
    Stop searching now and just accept
    Your outer world and inner self
    Know and love your earthly world
    Your truth, your power, your inner gold
    Its all here, heaven on earth
    Thy kingdom come, just know your worth
    You are divine in everyway
    The moon is full not just today
    Its just that till now you couldn’t see
    Or solve this greatest mystery
    That every night is full moon night
    Its only hidden from your sight

  • BLUE MOON ALERT – Imp Information regarding Wiccan Ritual Service

    On 30 August to Aug 31 is the Blue Moon 2012. This is the second full moon that happens in the same month – a relatively rare occurrence that happens once in 2.5 years or so.
    It can be a wonderful time to cast spells and make your wishes known to the universe.
    We are all creators of our life. Nothing is created without the will of our Inner Self which is Divine (God/ess). Through the power of manifestation we activate the inner self and can channel energy and shape it into our desired situations of life. Some people use prayers (of various religions – with or without realizing their inner self) or basic spells (performed by witches/wiz who may not be Wiccan initiates) to manifest their wishes.
    However you will find that the best way to manifest your right destiny is through a Wiccan Ritual performed by a Wiccan Initiate or Clergy.
    Wicca is an ethical religion (shared spirituality) that focuses on the magickal power of inner self, honors the scientific forces of nature and aims to manifest only that which is most positive and good for all concerned while harming none.
    A Wiccan Ritual is an elaborate high energy event performed by Priestesses/ Priests of Wiccan religion through invocation of the five elements of nature as well as goddess/ god energies, good faeries and divine beings to help you receive blessings and healing.
    You can place an order for a Wiccan ritual for any specific aspect of your life in order to receive healing in that area – eg Abundance, Love, Happiness, Health and Wellbeing, Business, Education…
    HOW TO ORDER A WICCAN RITUAL AND SPELL SERVICE:
    Step 1: Take a reading or consultation from a Wiccan Priestess
    This will help the Priestess understand your situation better and design the right spell and ritual service for you. It is not focused at predictions but at manifestation based on the absolute fact that we all create our life and not just receive outcomes passively.
    ONLINE: www.tarotindia.com/services by Rev. Swati Prakash, Head Priestess (email response within 10 days of order)
    IN PERSON: Call Magick 02265250328 by team of Priestesses (both first and second degree level priestesses are available) of Global Wicca by appointment.
    Step 2: Schedule the right spell to be performed in Wiccan ritual format
     
    Based on the reading or consultation advise the reader will suggest a spell to be performed along with ingredients as required. The same can be incorporated in your ritual. For Wiccan ritual service please go for certified Initiated priestesses of Global Wicca only who have completed the minimum one year and one day training period.
    ONLINE: Performed by Rev. Swati Prakash, High Priestess (as per date/ time allocated) 60 minutes will be available per session and you can choose the number of sessions depending on how strongly you wish to amplify your wishes. Generally it is better to be performed in multiples of three.
    IN PERSON:  Call Magick 02265250328 by team of Priestessses (both first and second degree level priestesses are available based on the type or degree of spell you require) of Global Wicca by appointment. 90 minutes will be allocated in the form of three sessions and you can take more later to amplify your wishes.
    NOTE: Rituals are healing events and energy transfers. They are not a one time exercise to solve a problem and it is recommended that you take healing regularly in the form of rituals and spells to get good results and not treat them as quick fixes. For instance one ritual a month is a healthy frequency by which to energize your long term goals. Three or multiples of three is recommended as minimum number of sessions, as three is the sacred Karmic number.

    ALWAYS: Take Wiccan Ritual Services from authorized and certified Initiates and check the credentials and the degree level of the person who should be certified or Initiated through a recognized Tradition of Wicca.
    Please Read our code of Ethics and guidelines on www.tarotindia.com/codeofethics
