The Super Blue Blood Moon<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When I was asked to be a presenter on Year of Ceremony with Sounds True I had no idea that their team would assign me a very special moon indeed: the Full Moon of January 2018 is the Super Blue Blood Moon and there is also a total lunar eclipse.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I will start by sharing some scientific and astronomical information with you to explain how special it is and why! The last time these same major events lined up was 150 years ago!!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you felt that the Super Moon on New Year’s Day in January 2018 was special – take a deep breath: on January 31st, around midnight, the full moon will not only be super – it will also be a Blue Moon and a Blood Moon.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The name Blue m refers to the second full moon in a calendar month. That happens every two and a half years, hence the saying “once in a blue moon”. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Things get even better: these two celestial events, the blue moon and the super moon, will also coincide with <\/span><\/span>a total lunar eclipse! <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With Earth in between the Sun and the Moon, sunlight has to pass through the Earth’s atmosphere, which scatters the green to violet light more than it scatters the red light. So the Moon appears red – a blood moon. NASA has given this Moon the name of this article<\/span><\/span>: The Super Blue Blood Moon!<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The last time all three events lined up this perfectly was more than 150 years ago. According to the Canon of Lunar Eclipses, the last time humans saw a total eclipse of a blue moon was 31 March 1866″…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Once in a Blue Moon…<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Most people here will be aware that Full Moons have special effect on us: for instance Accident and Emergency departments of hospitals are busier than usual.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We live just outside Central London in an inner city setting and I know from experience that during Full Moon our family hears more sirens (of emergency services) and the energy in the city is more frantic and frazzled. (I stay in and do spiritual work!)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Super Moon means that the Moon is at the point in her orbit where she is closest to Earth.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Some people believe that the Blue Moon is a time of heightened clarity and connection to the Divine. Any magical work done (or indeed any ceremony performed) will receive a boost that night! With all of these events going on – think of the boost for the ceremony I was asked to present! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Year of Ceremony<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Year of Ceremony was visioned to be an online monthly shamanic group that brings together the leading shamanic teachers and practitioners on the planet. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From the Sounds True website: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“We live in a time when we are called to truly connect\u2014to each other, to nature, and to our own deeper purpose. As we face unprecedented challenges in our modern age,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>each of us will have the chance to become a source of light and healing in our world<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

More people are turning to shamanism every day. Why?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Because it provides a practical way for us to make a direct connection with the divine, so we may\u00a0<\/span><\/span>draw strength and resources from the spirit world to make changes in our reality<\/span><\/strong>.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is a beautiful project! I am writing this article before the Big Event but next month I hope to write about how it went and what our audience discovered. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Also:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong> there will be a surprise on the night – but I am not going to give away what the surprise is!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
