Full moon August 2024

Moonstruck: Don’t Get Left in the Dark – See the Super Blue Moon!

Mark your calendars for the magnificent blue supermoon on August 19, 2024! Discover how to catch this celestial spectacle and what it means for your zodiac sign!

The cosmos is pulling out all the stops this August 19, 2024, with a dazzling cosmic event that stargazers and moon aficionados alike won't want to miss. Enter the rare Blue Supermoon, which will appear larger and brighter than any full moon most of us have seen. This celestial beer mat will be shining down on us like a disco ball at a wedding rave. Peak viewing time? At dusk—so grab your binoculars and don’t forget your rug as you lay back to enjoy the interstellar show.

But why the excitement about a Blue Supermoon, you ask? Well, this cosmic wonder is not just splendid for the eyes; it’s also steeped in celestial significance. Our sneaky so-called Blue Moons don’t refer to their colour but rather to their rarity—this August marks the first instance in 2024 when we’ll see this event, and it won’t grace our skies again until May 2027! Enthusiast astrologers say that this full moon, which is also in the eclectic sign of Aquarius, holds unique charms for each zodiac sign. So whether you’re a laid-back Taurus or an adventurous Sagittarius, make sure to check what the celestial alignment means for you!

As the Super Blue Moon basks in its celestial glory, you might also catch a glimpse of Saturn, as its rings could be seen via a decent pair of binoculars. If that's not enough to get you outside gazing at the night sky, the glowing orb will arrive just on the tails of the beloved Perseid meteor shower! The night of August 19 promises to be a spectacular one, filled with meteors making their exit and a moon putting on the show of a lifetime.

However, remember to check the weather forecast—nobody wants to find out they missed the moon because of a good ol’ British drizzle. So, shine up those binoculars, grab a friend (or perhaps a telescope), and immerse yourself in the wonders of our universe.

Did you know that the term "Blue Moon" isn’t a reference to its colour? Instead, it identifies the second full moon in a month—a rare phenomenon indeed. Lunar enthusiasts often revel in these moments, as it’s a great time to reflect and set intentions for the coming month. Also, the last Super Blue Moon was in August 2021, giving us all the more reason to take this chance to soak in its beauty. Embrace the magic of the astrological vibes it brings, and let the moonlight inspire you on this whimsical night!
