In the expansive canvas of celestial wonders, there are moments that transcend the mundane, captivating our senses and reminding us of the exquisite beauty of the universe. On August 31st, 2023, a truly enchanting event is poised to grace the night sky: the Blue Supermoon.

This cosmic alignment offers a rare opportunity for us to delve into the profound connection between our earthly experiences and the celestial dance above.

The Blue Supermoon: A Celestial Rarity

A Supermoon occurs when the Full Moon lunar phase happens during the Moon’s perigee – the point in its orbit where it is closest to the earth. The Full Moon therefore appears around 10% larger to us here on earth, giving rise to the name Supermoon.

Supermoons are not all that rare – there are typically three or four every year.

What makes this Supermoon different is that it is also a Blue Moon.

A Blue Moon occurs when there are two Full Moons in a single calendar month – as this month, when we had a Full Moon on August 1st and we will have another on August 31st; the second is known as the Blue Moon. It doesn’t look blue visually; the name comes from roots meaning an unusual or unlikely occurrence.

Blue Moons are relatively uncommon – one Full Moon in every 33 is likely to be the second in a calendar month, therefore a Blue Moon.

It is rare for a Supermoon and a Blue Moon to occur at the same time – this only happens once every 10-20 years. The last Blue Supermoon was in December 2009 and the next won’t be until 2037.

So with this Blue Supermoon we have the chance to glimpse a rare astrological occurence indeed.

Astrological Significance: A Journey into the Soul

Astrology serves as a map, guiding us through the intricate interplay of celestial energies and their impact on our lives. The full moon, heralding a culmination of intentions, is a time of revelations and realizations. The energy of the Blue Supermoon amplifies this effect, creating a potent phase for metamorphosis and renewal.

This Blue Supermoon occurs in the sign of Pisces, ruled by mystical Neptune. Pisces is the sign of the poet, the mystic, the dreamer, and the artist. This magical Blue Supermoon therefore unleashes a torrent of sensitive, psychic creativity.
