Along my ongoing quest to better understand the patterns of lunar cycles according to zodiacal pairings and Lunar Leadership, my study required a look at the larger patterns of Blue and Black Moons, and how those special triads of lunar events switched the order of Full and Dark moons within pairings. That's when I took the deep dive into the Soli-Lunar Metonic cycle, and the patterns of how the sun and moon align throughout the two calendars. Then I stumbled upon a mysterious future Yule night of 2052, when wyrdness may fall, and the dark lunar goat goes missing.
This kind of Lunar Witchcraft might be weird. It names whole lunations by the full moon in the middle, divides dark and new moon into separate phases (making nine total), works the magick of lunar pairings, tracks the trading lunar leadership after blue and black moons, and then noticed the really cool wyrd thing.no matter how you slice this moonpie, you begin and end in the same sign as the sun.
Allow me to share a recent fascinations in my Lunar Witchcraft: celebrating Full Moons in six zodiacal pairings to balance each axis of human consciousness.
For magickal purposes, Blue Moons are the second full moon to fall within the same zodiac sign. There are no blue moons in 2023. On August 30th, celebrate the Harvest Moon because it is the only opposition of the Sun in Virgo to the Full moon in Pisces to occur this year.
