Full Super Blue Moon Blessings!
Put your Crystals & Gemstones out to clean and charge!
August's supermoon will be the first of four supermoons in a row.
The next full moon will occur at 2:26 p.m. EDT (1826 GMT) on Monday, Aug. 19, 2024. But it won't be just any old full moon, it will be a Supermoon Blue Moon!
Sounds pretty cool, but what exactly does that mean? Let's take a look at what makes a "supermoon" and a "Blue Moon" (and what makes a two-in-one Supermoon Blue Moon, of course).
The term "supermoon" was first coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979, as "either a new or full moon that occurs when the moon is within 90% of its closest approach to Earth" according to NASA. Full supermoons are the biggest and brightest full moons of the year, appearing approximately 30% brighter and 14% larger than usual. Though this may sound like a lot, however, it's quite hard to spot the difference with the unaided eye, unless you're a seasoned moon-watcher.
