🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕
Your March moon phases, beginning with the Plough Moon or Lenten Moon, tonight.
There will be a total lunar eclipse visible across east Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and before dawn in western North and South America, but sadly not visible from Europe.

Every week on Lia’s Living Almanac I ask the question: what has been particularly ‘this week’ about this week? What happened that could not have happened any other month of the year?
And then on the last day of the month I weave them all into a poem, of sorts, and for 2026 we have wonderful illustrating them.
This is a snippet of January’s. Come over see the rest and subscribe and you can join in for next month.

I am on today! I believe… 🤞🏻
Last week my (pre recorded) bits had to make way for a last-minute Bowie special, which is hard to grumble about, so I will be reading bits from The Almanac 2026 today!
If you’re seeing this after Sunday morning, I’ll put the listen again link up in my stories.
Let me know if you catch it! x

I am on wonderful ’s show this morning! Talking about The Almanac 2026.
Cerys has been the most incredible supporter of my almanacs from the very beginning. To my delight she loved the first edition and had me on her show every month to talk about the moon and the stars, the changes in nature, and the folklore of each month. It was an absolute dream for the launch of the almanac as a long-term project and I am know she made it all look much cooler than it would have otherwise! And I know a lot of people first found me via her, and I’m so grateful for that.
So yes, I am on again this morning, words from The Almanac 2026 and my choice of music to accompany them, pre-recorded this time so I am writing this from my bed. Let me know if you catch it, and if you heard any of those early shows! And thank you again gorgeous Cerys xx

The new season of As the Season Turns, my podcast with .co, is out today! This year is going to be all about water and we begin beside the chilly January canal, then dip below the surface to find our fearsome fish of the month. Above us, amid the emerging constellations, starlings murmurate, moving mountains in Cynan Jones’ new telling of the Welsh tale of Branwen. And joins us as this year’s resident folk musician, with an original song for January, Holly Man.

Have you got yours ready?? In just a few days time we will be opening The Almanac 2026! and stepping into a year in the woodland together. Every month you will learn forest skills and foraging recipes, read folk stories about the trees and follow the ogham tree calendar, as well as keeping track of the planets and stars above your head, the moon phases and rises and falls of the tides.
My Almanac has been designed to provide a moment of pause every month, a little time to sit and sink into the season, cuppa in hand, a small ritual to anchor you in the year as it changes through the months and seasons.
I hope you will come along.
