What is a blue moon? How will the lunation affect your zodiac sign revealed

On August 30, 2023, the super blue moon will be seen in the night sky. Just as people come out of the Mercury retrograde in Virgo, they will be immediately hit with a super blue moon in Pisces. Astrologically, this lunar event will bring forth a new dreams and the impractical actions.

Astronomically, the super blue moon is the result of a rare coincidence of two lunar events. The supermoon refers to a time when the moon is closest to the Earth, while the blue moon suggests a time when a full moon appears twice in a month.

The moon revolves around the earth in an elliptical orbit. Therefore, each month, there will be a point at which the moon will be the closest to the Earth, which is called the perigee. The point at which it is farthest from the earth is called the apogee. When a full moon is at the closest point to the earth, it is called a supermoon. The supermoon will appear larger and brighter than a normal full moon.

The moon has a cycle of 29.5 days, a little shorter than a full month on earth. This small gap results in the full moon sometimes occurring at the beginning and the end of a month. When a full moon occurs twice a month, it is called a blue moon. The moon will not be blue unless dust or smoke particles scatter away light waves, which may result in a slightly bluer appearance.

When a blue moon occurs, the moon is at the closest point to the earth, it is called a super blue moon, which is a rare phenomenon. A blue moon occurs every two or three years, while a super blue moon occurs irregularly, around every 10 years or more. The next occurrence of this phenomenon will be in 2037.

Pisces: The super blue moon falls in the sign of Pisces, so it is time to manifest and grow to become a more confident and powerful version of yourself. Your dreams are now in reach and assert yourself to show everyone your significance.

Unlike the mercury retrograde, the super blue moon does not really lead to any communication breakdowns or astute negativity in general. The super blue moon in Pisces is a time when people will start having and pursuing visions and dreams, a time when rigid explanations fade away and people bask in the glory of abstract impracticality.

However, the lunar event's conjuncture with the Saturn retrograde in Pisces means that this time period will end up being a reality check on your visions, dreams, and emotional relationships.
