On Saturday, the 31st of October, the Full Moon will arrive at 15:49 PM in Amsterdam. This Taurus full moon is the second full moon of this month. That’s why this full moon is called a blue moon, as an extra appearance of a full moon in one calendar month was sometimes described as being slightly bluer in color. Correctly speaking, the term ‘Blue Moon’ didn’t find its roots in. astronomy nor does really turn blue. The only way the moon appears to be blue is when a massive volcano erupts and the ashes in the sky to make the moon appear blue. Nowadays, it is described as a very rare occurrence, and two full moons in one calendar month are - after all - quite rare! After this Blue Moon, we’ll have to wait until August the 22nd of 2021 to see another blue Full Moon, so make sure not to miss the moment!

Full Moon Meaning

A Full Moon occurs when the moon is opposite the sun. These opposing forces can influence your life and lead to internal tensions such as between what you want and what your soul actually needs.

During the time of a Full Moon, our emotions and intuition reach its peak. We will be likely to feel more emotional and our intimate relationships come more into the center of our attention. This increased emotional strength can help us deal with challenges in our personal life or in relationships. Our Full Moon Healing Circle is a great way to connect with a community, to reflect, and to heal yourself from within!

Hunter’s Full Moon

You might notice one more thing about this Full Moon occurrence: it happens on Halloween! This mysterious Full Moon is also known as Hunter’s Full Moon - which has a background story to match the spooky holiday. The reason for this specific name dates back to native times when humans and animals started stocking up on food to prepare for long and cold winters. The light of the moon came in handy for the hunters to be able to hunt better and see their prey more clearly. What is more, due to this somewhat violent history, this moon also bears the name of the Blood Moon, which makes it feel a bit more eerie and suitable for the season. Especially since the moon appears to be bigger in October because the moon rises early after the sunset.

This Full Moon’s Challenges & Benefits

Unsettling & Unpredictable

This Full Moon will be the start of an erratic and unpredictable period. Many challenges will come our way and we must learn to adapt swiftly.
Full Moon conjunct Uranus can make us feel a little restless, anxious, and impatient. You can notice that something is about to change, which makes it a bit harder to relax. Beware of impulsive actions which can lead to accidents and mistakes.
Because we are subjected to more unexpected events, it could be possible that you will react emotionally. Whether it is by being angry, feeling detached, or feeling the lack of stability. This can have rather unsettling effects on your relationships.
How to deal with this period’s unpredictable events? By being as adaptive, flexible, and open-minded as possible. Try not to get frustrated when things start to change, and try to make space to observe new possibilities instead. Get creative and find the positive in those changes. This will allow you to have more freedom to follow your heart.

Listen Carefully & Be Patient

Mercury square Saturn can cause impatience, lack of concentration, misunderstandings, and arguments. Therefore it is extremely important to not act on a whim and carefully assess your options.
Distance in relationships. We might experience a sense of isolation, and when you do meet other people, your words can be harsher and more mean than you intended. Try and be attentive and caring of those around you, for they might experience similar things.

Work Hard & Love
