As we slide into the end of August, there’s a Blue Supermoon that’s about to shake things up in a HUGE way!
This one’s in Aquarius and you might wanna delve into ya horoscopes cos this astrological event is gonna be a doozy for the air sign.
If you’re excited to catch a glimpse of this year's Blue Supermoon, but you aren’t too sure what’s going on… Here’s what to expect!
When is the blue supermoon happening in NZ?
If you are looking for something extra special tonight, all you’ve gotta do is look to the sky!
NASA says the prime time to catch a look is at dusk - roughly 6pm NZT.
What happens during a blue supermoon?
Sadly, the moon won't magically turn blue (but how vibey would that be?)
A supermoon just means it’s closer to Earth, so it looks bigger and brighter than a regular full moon.
The Blue Supermoon gets its name because it’s a rare event where we get two full moons in one month.
This one’s extra rare because it’s a supermoon and a blue moon happening together. According to CNET, this combo won’t pop up again until 2027.
We’ve been pretty lucky though, because we’ve been treated to this show two years in a row!
What does it mean for me?
If you’re tapped into your astrological side, you know that with the moon hanging out in Aquarius, it’s gonna hit differently for anyone born between January 20 and February 18.
Astrology expert Nour Pellé told Vogue this moon is linked to “spirituality and awakening”.
That means we can expect to question our place in our wider communities/relationships and should be open to accepting radical changes.
If you’re wondering whether to charge your crystals up under the moonlight - the answer is DO IT!
Tonight is the perfect time for your rocks to soak in the moonlight as it brings energy, clarity and intuition, perfect for manifesting.
According to astrologist Kyle Thomas, Amethyst, Hematite, Red Jasper and Labradorite will benefit the most from this moon’s energy.
So whip out those crystals and set an alarm for 6pm because we’re getting fully amongst what this moon has to offer.
