HalloeenBlueMoon

Halloween: Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31 whose origins date back to the Celtic festival of Samhain. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes, playing pranks and eating treats.

Full Moons At Halloween: Since 1900, there have only been four full moons that coincide with Halloween that are visible in all time zones on Earth (1906, 1925, 1944 and 2020) and there will only be 4 more for the rest of this century (2039, 2058, 2077 and 2096).

Blue Moons: Blue Moons are the second full moons that occur in the same month and do not refer to the moon's color. All Halloween full moons have also been Blue Moons but not all Blue Moons are Halloween Moons. Blue Moons occur approximately every 2.5 years. The last Blue Moon occurred in March 2018 and the next will be in August 2023.

Hunter’s Moons: The "Hunter's Moon" is also known as the “Travel Moon,” Dying Grass Moon,” Blood Moon” (not to be confused with the term "blood moon" to describe a total lunar eclipse) or “Sanguine Moon.” It is the first full moon after the Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon is the full moon that occurs closest to the Autumn Equinox in September and usually occurs in September but every 3 years it occurs in October (and this year occurred on Oct. 1, 2020). The name “Hunter’s Moon” is mentioned in several sources as the Anglo-Saxon name for the Full Moon of October. It is believed to be so named because October is the month when game is hunted, slaughtered and preserved for use in the coming winter months.

Apogee Moons: "Apogee Moons"" also known as "Micro-moons" or "Minimoons" occur when the moon is close to its farthest point from Earth in its elliptical orbit. Approximately every 14th Full Moon will be an Apogee Moon.

Uranus at Opposition to Earth : Uranus will be at its closest approach to Earth with its blue-green face fully illuminated by the Sun. It will be brighter than any other time of the year and will be visible all night long.

The Spiritual Meaning of this year's Halloween Full Blue Moon: Full moons are a call for balance. This lunar phase reveals what is hidden in its light. With the sun in Scorpio (symbolic of the underworld) and the moon in Taurus (representing Mother Earth) — this particular full moon is symbolic of the cycle of life and death In addition, since this full moon will also conjunct Uranus, at the exact same degree, it represents a time of great revelations. Uranus is the "Great Awakener," the planet of chaos, revolution, and unexpected change, its nearness to Earth magnifying its power.
