The Blue Moon is a rare occurrence that has particular importance in the world of astrology and astronomy. 2018 is unique in this regard, because we are waiting for two whole months of the blue moon.

A Blue Moon is when there are two Full Moons in the same calendar month. The second is the Blue Moon. It won't be just a Full Moon in January because there will be a partial lunar eclipse on the 31st. The start of 2018 will be unique.

blue moon in astrology

In astrology, this is the second full moon of the month. Two Full Moons are very rare, but in 2018 there will be as many as two Blue Moons - one in January, the second in March, and in March the Full Moon will also be on the 2nd and 31st. This is unique, extremely rare event.

There will be something special in 2018. Since there are only 28 days in the coming February, and the lunar month consists of 29 and a half calendar days, there will be no Full Moons at all. This is also an incredibly rare phenomenon, which suggests that the month will be very calm and measured.

In astrology, the Blue Moon is of particular importance, because during such periods there is a certain restructuring of everything at the energy level. Along with the usual processes associated with the full moon, adjacent parallel processes will occur that will lead to a reboot of people's consciousness. This is useful for world politics, for resolving major conflicts at the global level. We are in for a very unusual period of time. Perhaps something will change on a mental level. You may not notice this right away.

The first month with a Blue Moon is always good news, because in the middle of the year it can lead to financial and love losses. Now, while our consciousness is not yet fully tuned to new stage, you can safely rebuild it the way we want, or the way the moon wants.

Full Moon January 31st

January 31 will be a full moon in the sign of Leo. This is a terrible time for anyone who wants to learn how to be discreet, because the Full Moon itself does not imply diplomacy in most people. Here the constellation Leo also breaks into our world, which shakes the situation even more.

Most of the problems will occur in the area of ​​work and finances. The moon will blow away all your luck with very powerful streams, replacing it with aggression and an uncontrolled flow of doubt. The stay of the full moon in Leo will change your idea of ​​moral standards for the worse. The boundaries of what is permitted will be blurred, so the number of crimes will increase. At the same time, the number of traffic accidents, quarrels, fights, and conflicts in general will also increase.

It will be a very difficult day for emotional people. The calmer you are, the easier it will be for you to live and conduct your business. By the way, about business - it is better that they be calm. Solitude will help you withstand the blows of fate. Do not try to find solace in complaining about life to strangers. Do not resist fate, but do not sit idly by. No one will help you deal with problems. This can only be done by you.

Features of the Blue Moon in January

The features of the Blue Moon in January 2018 indicate that something unique is waiting for us. The first feature is eclipse. On January 31, there will be a partial eclipse of the moon, which will lead to an explosion of the situation. Chaos will be the norm, but it will be invisible. Only the most considerate people can feel it in the fibers of their soul. The aura of a person on such days when the Blue Moon and the eclipse are connected together, is under great pressure from the outside.

If we could change the past, then on such days everyone would travel in time and try to fix what simply cannot be fixed. That is why on January 31 everyone will reminisce, be sad and think about their mistakes. Few people will be interested in the future, although they should. If you make an effort on yourself and begin to act, and not become limp, then direct yourself along the right path.

On such days, you can and even need to think. Thinking abilities will improve, so it will be necessary to choose the mental path, not the physical one. material problems should be relegated to the background.

Blue Moon Day will be spiritually unique. This means that you can’t just take and leave your bad habits - you need to learn to live with them, or change yourself radically. It is necessary to approach the solution of spiritual issues as responsibly as possible. Good luck and don't forget to press the buttons and

The retrograde movement of the planets affects people. Mercury will be no exception. During his...

This Saturday, March 31, we will have a rather rare astronomical phenomenon - the Blue Moon. I want to warn you right away that you should not expect a night star of an unusual blue color in the sky on this day. The Blue Moon got its name from a popular English expression similar to ours: "after a rain on Thursday" or "when the cancer whistles on the mountain" ( that is extremely rare, - ed..).

This phenomenon only occurs during the full moon. On average, a Blue Moon rises in the sky about once every two and a half years. However, this year it is the second such full moon, and this is only in the past three months. Only next time we will be able to see a similar phenomenon only after a few years.

It is worth noting that the blue moon carries quite unusual energies, so there are certain prohibitions at this time. First of all, you need to understand that everything related to the full moon, and happens every month, remains in force. Namely: during this period, you need to monitor your health, not take risks, calmly treat provocations, do not raise acute problems, be careful about new information ... At this time, all people feel a surge of energy and a surge of physical strength - they need to be spent with mind, rationally, adhering to a previously drawn up plan.

It was mentioned earlier that we have two Blue Moons this year. Moreover, the January Blue Moon was also "bloody" at the same time, and coincided with the eclipse. All these coincidences affected us in a negative way, and all the aggravating circumstances of this day were felt even more strongly.

But this Saturday the situation is just the opposite. Firstly, the full moon will not occur on the difficult and dangerous 15th lunar day, as happens most often, but a little earlier - on the fertile 14th lunar day. This will positively affect not only the Sabbath day, but also the entire period of the waning moon. This means that everything that should leave us, go away and even get lost, will happen easily, and according to the best scenario for the development of events. All those doors that should be "slammed" will close quietly and comfortably, and in return for them other opportunities will open that will be obvious. Any business that is already scheduled for completion in the first half of April will be completed successfully and on time. At the same time, all participants of this event can count on prizes, bonuses, and gifts, including those from fate.

In order for all of the above to come true in your life, this Saturday you need to work a little on yourself and try. The rules of this work are simple and universal, and it operates on the principle: "you give - you receive." In order for the Saturday Blue Moon to endow you with its attention, you need to pay attention to it.

I advise in the afternoon, just when the Full Moon will occur and the transition from the waxing moon to the waning one, retire and be alone. You can light a candle and sit comfortably on the sofa or behind desk. And you can even go to bed and indulge in an afternoon nap. The main thing is to go into a calm and peaceful state, and in this state think about who and for what you are grateful. You need to remember at least nine thanks in relation to absolutely different people including self-acknowledgement. When you think about gratitude, you will also remember moments in which you felt embarrassed or offended by other people. You need to mentally forgive your offenders and ask for forgiveness from those who may be offended by you.

After you have thanked and worked with forgiveness, the time for your requests, desires and dreams begins. Focus on the tasks and plans that you need to deal with in the next two weeks. Imagine that you have already achieved the desired result, think about what is relevant for you. The main thing is to see the positive result you are striving for.

Rejoice in this, thank the higher light forces for favoring you, thank you as if everything you wanted has already happened.
If you devote at least half an hour of your Saturday time to this simple work, you will see with your own eyes how successful and favorable not only the next two weeks will be for you, but these events that will follow them.

Very often there are notes that there will be a Blue Moon this month. Let's figure out with you what it is and where it came from.

A full moon typically rises 12 times in a year in the sky. However, there are periods when the full moon pleases our eyes not 12, but 13 times a year. This extra moon is called BLUE. The same applies to the new moon, only the 13th new moon is called the BLACK MOON.

It all started with an article about the 13th moon in the Farmers Almanac called “Once Upon a Blue Moon.” Published in 1930, this article gained immense popularity and? from now on? became part of the myths and legends of modern culture.

This idea has gained the greatest popularity among modern followers of the Cult of the Great Goddess and Wicca, as well as among all those involved in various practices of yoga and personal development.

After all, the moon directly affects our emotional state, and especially women. Therefore, practices associated with the moon have become the basis of many systems for harmonization, balance and healing.

In traditions associated with lunar cycle it is believed that the Blue Moon has more power than the usual one and it is especially useful to perform meditations and practices in it. This will allow you to penetrate more deeply into the secrets of the subconscious and personal I.

It is important to understand here that the Blue Moon can be calendar, seasonal and annual.

Blue moon of the calendar month will be the second full moon of the month. Such a Blue Moon will amplify the energies of the current moon of the Wheel of the Year.

blue moon season will be called the fourth full moon of the season of the Wheel of the Year (Spring, summer, autumn, winter). This full moon will amplify the energies of the corresponding season.

Blue moon of the year will be called the 13th full moon during the Wheel of the Year. It will collect and strengthen the energies of the whole year and especially the time of Samhain for transformational processes.

The winter season is a time of regeneration, healing, cleansing. Spring brings the energy of growth, sexuality, female attractiveness. Summer is a time of filling with the energy of love, expansion, prosperity, marriage. Autumn is a summing up, a time of gratitude, receiving the help of ancestors, the accumulation of material wealth and the beginning of a new transformation.

The 13th moon is the possibility of transformation at the level of death - rebirth.

What is BLACK MOON.

The concept of the BLACK MOON appeared as the opposite twin to the Blue Moon. And there are also two options. The black moon is called both the second new moon of the calendar month and the new moon when there are no full moons in the current month. In this case, the NIGHT OF THE BLACK MOON is celebrated.

The second new moon in a calendar month occurs every 29 months. For different time zones, this may be a bit differ. So, for example, for America, the black moon in 2016 will be in September, and for Europe in October.

Tab. 3. Nearest Black Moon 2nd in a calendar month

A BLACK MOON NIGHT occurs once every 33 months. During practices, all aspects necessary for deep work are taken into account.

There is also a 19-20-year rhythm of the month of February, when it may not have a new moon or a full moon.

Every 19-20 years there is no new moon in February. But it brings the Black Moon in January and March. The last time such a month was in 2014 and the next time it will be in 2033.

And just like that, every 19-20 years February goes without a full moon. And instead, the full moon will come twice in January and March, bringing the Blue Moon.

Use this time and knowledge to your benefit.

And may it benefit all living beings.

On the last day of March, the 31st, a very interesting astronomical phenomenon awaits the inhabitants of Russia - the Blue Moon. No, unfortunately, the lunar disk will not turn bluish, but its effect on the vital activity of organisms, mood and psychological condition people will be more than noticeable.

The blue moon is the name of the full moon, which happens for the second time in one calendar month. It is truly mystical, although it has a completely scientific explanation. It can be observed once every 2.7 years. This happens because in lunar month only 29.53 days, which is significantly less than the number of days in the calendar. Therefore, sometimes in a year we see not 12, but as many as 13 full months.

The phenomenon received a beautiful mysterious name thanks to the English expression “Once in a Blue Moon”. There is no literal translation of this phrase, but it has its own equivalent in Russian - “When the cancer whistles on the mountain” (that is, “never”). Therefore, only a part of "Blue Moon" remained from this expression, from which the name "Blue Moon" came.

According to lunar calendar, the full moon will reach its peak, which means the "blue moon" will reach March 31 at 15 hours 36 minutes and 48 seconds Moscow time. Thus, we can summarize that we will see a full disk in the sky on the night of March 31 to April 1, respectively.

At the same time, the influence of the full moon this time will not only be strong, but also lasting - all the actions and words said and done over the next three to four days will matter in your future.

Many will feel unwell during this period. Weakness in the body, headache, mood swings, increased aggressiveness, exacerbation of chronic diseases, the desire to destroy your life and start all over again - these days will be different for everyone.

Astrologers have already compiled a list of things that you definitely shouldn’t devote the next weekend to and preferably a few more days of the next working week:

Don't hang out with people you don't like. Everything said during this period will be perceived incorrectly by you and others, which means that conflicts cannot be avoided. Keep your peace of mind and surround yourself with only the most loved and dear to your heart so that the days pass in a peaceful atmosphere.

Don't start new business. And the matter concerns both work moments and household chores. Want to put your winter clothes away? Change your mind, do it in a few days. Rearranging, repairing, sorting out relations with relatives - it is better to postpone all this until later, so as not to have trouble later.

- Do not use transport. On the days of the full moon, the number of car accidents increases sharply, so if you have the opportunity to go on business on foot, go boldly and without hesitation. A walk will help not only protect yourself from the sad consequences, but also significantly improve the shaken, ambiguous mood.

- Don't get treated. Any procedure, even cosmetic, can lead to serious complications and cause allergic reactions even in those who are not at all prone to allergies. Surgery should also be postponed, but only if it does not involve the removal of tumors.

The danger of the Blue Moon is that it strongly affects people with a weak psyche. As a result, the risk of nervous breakdowns, criminal attacks and emergency situations increases. It is necessary to protect oneself from communication with unbalanced people, try not to get into quarrels and not respond with rudeness to rudeness.

But do not think that the Blue Moon is an exclusively negative period. Esotericists appreciate this time for a special surge of strength and the opportunity to conduct complex witchcraft practices. A good effect is given by rituals aimed at revealing one's hidden potential, as well as meditative practices.

Astrologers recommend at this time to delve into yourself as much as possible. Think about what you most desire and what you would like to get rid of in life. At the same time, you should not analyze the actions of other people in relation to you, because at this time everything is understood wrongly and incorrectly.

Dream, try to connect with nature as much as possible - ask the moon for the most unexpected, but long-desired things, and she will definitely hear you.

To determine the second full moon within one calendar month. This is a fairly rare event, occurring on average every 2.7154 years, in different countries And different times named after it. The name is due not to a change in the color of the moon, but to an idiomatic expression Once in a Blue Moon, borrowed from English. It translates as "Once Upon a Blue Moon" and is equivalent to the Russian expression "After the rain on Thursday"(i.e. very rarely or never). The full moon itself has the usual, ash-gray color; the appearance of a blue tint on the moon is an extremely rare phenomenon due to an optical effect.

In popular culture

The phrase "Blue Moon" is found not only in astronomy. In the song of the group "Bravo" "It's dawn outside the window" the phrase is found in its original meaning ("Where does the morning hide three thousand stars, not counting the blue moon"). Also, "Bravo" on the album "Road to the Clouds" (1994) features the song "Blue Moon Blues". In 1998, Boris Moiseev and Nikolai Trubach recorded the song "Blue Moon", which became popular overnight, and the phrase "Blue Moon" became associated with homosexuality among the mass listener.
