Blue Moon Party This Weekend!

Hooray! It's Friday and a long holiday weekend here in the states!

So surely everyone knows by now what tonight is....but, just in case you live under a rock and haven't heard....tonight is the Full Moon! But it's not just any ole' Full Moon mind you....no, tonight's Moon is special because it's a Blue Moon! Blue Moons infrequently occur when there are 2 Full Moons within the same calendar month. So my birth month of August seems to for once in my life, have something special associated with it this year....something even auspicious perhaps! The first Full Moon actually occurred the day before my birthday on August 1st, and now the second Full Moon will present tonight, August 31st.
So what is the scoop on the 'Blue Moon' from the astrological world? Well the overall vibe of this Blue Moon is said to be a good one that lends itself to the Unusual and the Eccentric! Apparently it has an 'aspect pattern' known as a 'streamer'.....(and no, I have no idea what that means either)! But the gist is that this Blue Moon's coordinates put it in the sign of Pieces on the fixed star 'Skat', in the constellation of Aquarius. And that star 'Skat' is considered a 'fortunate' star which gives "good fortune and lasting happiness". It also imbues us with 'psychic ability' and 'occult interests', so we should use this Blue Moon to plug into the 'stream of consciousness'. Additionally, there is some other planetary posturing that may allow us to "receive messages from other realms".Now I don't know what you guys are thinking.....but I'm thinking
BLUE MOON PARTY!! This sounds like an 'Unusually Eccentric' good time, just waiting to be had!

Head outdoors and find a good seat under the 'Starry Night Sky', throw back a few glasses of wine or beer, soak up some much needed 'Lunar Rays', maybe try to read each others minds for awhile, break out the Tarot Cards, do a little 'Moon Dancing', and then kick back on the lounge chair and await our 'Celestial Download' of messages to arrive from planets beyond! I even found some Blue Moon Treats to satisfy those late night munchies! (Recipe for Blue Moon Cupcakes). So what do you think? Anyone up for a Blue Moon Party tonight?!If not....no worries! This Blue Moon is still an auspicious one, so at least go outside and make a wish or two while you ponder the Cosmos, 'cause the next Blue Moon won't come 'round again until July, 2015! And don't forget to cue up King Harvest's "Dancing in the Moonlight" on your iPod while you're at it! Have a great weekend, and may the 'Good Fortune' of this Blue Moon be Yours!
