What is a blue moon?
We have often heard the phrase “once in a blue moon”, so what does it mean? It implies something that has a rare possibility of occurrence. A blue moon is the second of two Full Moons that happens within a month. This is a rare occurrence and hence we call it the Blue Moon. We also refer the Moon as a Blue Moon when four Full Moons happen during an astrological season, say spring, summer, autumn and winter.
What is like to experience a Blue Moon?
Like with all full moons, during Blue Moons we experience highly sensitive energy which if not controlled and drained properly might end up in us getting tired, worn-out and overly emotional.
Is a blue moon lucky or unlucky?
Blue Moon is just a Full Moon and does not have any luck or fortune associated with it. However there has been an ancient myth that when you look at the Blue Moon through a glass, you will encounter bad luck for the ensuing month.
Does the Blue Moon possess any special powers?
A Blue Moon does not have any special powers, it is just another Full Moon day. But then lore has it that magic and witches would lose their power on this Blue Moon day.
How rare is a Blue Moon?
