May 31st, we will be celebrating BLUE with the Blue Moon!
(Blue Moon Event on May 30th at The Fledge, 5-10pm.)
May 31, 2026. Peaks at 4:45 AM.
This is a very special moon since it is the second full moon in the same month, symbolizing powerful transformations and transition periods, rarity, clarity of emotions, perspectives, and goals, and can signal a time of sudden life-changing shifts to said personal goals, perspectives, and/or emotional cloudedness.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac describes the origin of the blue moon as a mistake printed in a 1946 issue of Sky & Telescope magazine. “Blue Moon” became a popular name for this moon in the 1980s. It is not, in fact, blue, but we can let our imaginations conjure up some pretty cool visuals of what the sky and moon would look like if the moon was blue. :)
Luna Moonfall on Moonfall Metaphysical describes this moon as a good time to release and reset. She also describes it as a moon that is not “gentle” how some of our other moons are in times of healing and refreshing, but more like a catalytic energy, essentially where things need to be released or destroyed and rebuilt, often including unpredictable and sometimes uncontrollable change (for those familiar with tarot, this would be the Tower card and the Death card).
Change is not always a negative thing, though it can be scary or intimidating at times, or maybe just difficult to stick with long-term. That is where there may be something needing adjusted in our mindset or actions to allow ourselves to persevere. Something must be released in order to make room for growth and change.
If there is anything that is not done or has not been completed as of yet, this is a good time to do that, ensuring we keep ourselves on track with the paths we choose to walk.
For anyone interested, Moonfall Metaphysical includes a list of associated colors, herbs, and crystals for the Blue Moon this month.
Colors: Deep blue, Silver, Black
Herbs: Mugwort, Rosemary, Sage
Crystals: Labradorite, Moonstone, Obsidian
The time is now. If you feel like there is something that has been building up and waiting for the right time, this might just be that time. Listen to your heart. Go with what feels ‘right’ to you/what resonates with you.
QOTD:
A. When you think of the Blue Moon, what do you think of? What do you imagine? How do you feel?
OR
B. What is something that you have always wanted to do but haven’t done yet and could potentially do for the Blue Moon?
Alternatively, what is something you’ve been working towards or planning for a long time that you are bringing to completion, beginning, leveling-up, or continuing to persevere?
