Did you know: The event of the quarry happened at August 22nd, the last day of the summer camp when the counselors were supposed to leave, but stayed one more night. It's an actual date of full moon in 2021. August 22nd, 2021 was also Blue Moon...interesting right? You could say the curse ending that night only happened once in a blue moon.
For those of you who say it's August 23rd. Yes it became 23rd after the clock hit midnight I know.
I also wonder what the Blood Moon does to the werewolves in the quarry universe. What about the supermoon? What about the Super Blood Moon?
I've got so many headcannons and ideas. Share your thoughts. Our brainstorming only makes the story better.

I didn’t know I was pregnant - 19 weeks Surgical Abortion for Trans FTM
Hi, I’m a 20 year old trans man who’s been on testosterone since April 2021. I stopped having periods due to my weekly injections then as well. For the past few months I thought my chronic illness was getting worse. I have severe GERD/IBS which causes major bloating and nausea. Around May I started vomiting daily and having tons of pain. As a kid I was told to be quiet and not bring up my pain unless I was on fire or bleeding. So as an adult I have a very high pain tolerance. I thought it was just getting worse. At the ultrasound, we found out that I have been pregnant for 19 weeks. I am still trying to cope with the fact that I had no idea and had been gaslighting myself out of the pain, telling myself I have just been being dramatic. We had to schedule a 2nd trimester abortion for next thursday on the Supermoon. Painful irony for me. The fetus has a head, body and a leg. The feeling is so bad for my dysphoria I have been in shock. They asked me if I knew what was happening to find out how it happened because it shouldn’t have been possible with the Testosterone I was taking. Then I remembered that in March my HRT doctors rescheduled me and I lost two weeks of injections in March due to COVID, which is most likely when it happened. I am angry and a mess. I work as a stripper and I haven’t been able to work. My fiance starts his new job in a few days after bills hit and we are broke. We might lose our credit and be in major trouble. I am praying my insurance covers the procedure and I can find a way to pay bills in a few days. We have to sell nearly all of our valuables in order to eat. I can’t find anyone else who has been in the same situation and i feel so alone. My only solace has been my art. I have a piece here to help me cope. If you’re interested in my art I am doing commissions until I go back to work. I hate asking for help and I was raised to be self sufficient. I feel so incredibly alone and in hell despite my support from my 3 friends and fiancé. If anyone can donate to help us,please DM me. This is an anonymous account because we can’t afford many people knowing. Any support in comments or DMS is appreciated. Thank you so much for reading. Wish me luck. Commissions are open!

Blue Moon Appears for the First Time since 2021
On Aug. 30 2023, the second full moon of the month emerged in the sky with a larger appearance than usual. Although the term used is bluemoon, it does not actually turn blue or appear blue, unfortunately. This occurrence still had everyone outside looking up in awe of the sight of the blue supermoon, and even the sunset before.  A junior from Centreville High School stated that “The sunset hadn’t…

Sorting Through Love and Hate, Truth and Lies, Being Cherished and Blessed or A 5 Generation Curse: Freewill Choices Have Nanosecond Returns on Investment. What Will You Sow? What Will You and Your Children Harvest for 5 Generations or A Thousand? Part 11/20.
"There are so many different ways that someone can be beautiful. For me, I think that when I meet someone and there's that magical thing about them that makes them unforgettable, it's that they're sincere and honest and whoever they are, be that funny, happy, sad, you know, going through a rough time, sarcastic, I think that these personality traits that come through when somebody is really sincere is what makes them beautiful." - Taylor Swift
August's rare Super Blue Moon, the biggest full moon of 2023, rises this week
By Joe Rao Space.com Wednesday's moon might still appear enormous, but for a different reason. On Wednesday, Aug. 30, you'll no doubt hear the mainstream media proclaiming that on that night we will have an opportunity to witness a "supermoon." It's a term, or more specifically, a branding, of relatively recent origin. It originated not from astronomy, but astrology; first coined by an astrologer, who arbitrarily defined it as "a full moon which occurs with the moon at or near (within 90-percent of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit (perigee)."
Indeed, at 12 noon ET on that fifth Wednesday of August, the moon will arrive at perigee, its closest point in its orbit relative to Earth at 221,942 miles (357,181 km) away. And 9 hours and 36 minutes later, the moon will officially turn full. Although a full moon theoretically lasts just a moment, that moment is imperceptible to ordinary observation, and for a day or so before and after, most will speak of seeing the nearly full moon as "full": The shaded strip is so narrow, and changing in apparent width so slowly, that it is hard for the naked eye to tell whether it's present or which side it is.
And in addition to its "supermoon" status, this particular full moon will be the second to occur in the month of August, the first having occurred on Aug. 1. As a result, the second full moon of August on the 30th, will be also branded as a "Blue" moon. So, for what it's worth, what we'll have will be a "Super Blue Moon." However, unless there is some unusual atmospheric condition present such as airborne dust, ash or smoke, the moon will not appear blue but its normal yellow-white self. Nonetheless, thanks to mainstream media hyperbole, many will likely look forward to getting a view of this big late summer moon. https://www.space.com/biggest-full-moon-of-2023

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Pages 1494, 1495 and 1496: Psalm 69:7 Let those who look to You, O Lord, God of hosts, not be disappointed on my account; let those who seek You, O God of Israel, not be shamed because of me. Psalm 69:8 It is for Your sake that I have been reviled, that shame covers my face; Psalm 69:9 I am a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my kin.

Psalm 69:12 I made sackcloth my garment; I became a byword among them. Psalm 69:13 Those who sit in the gate talk about me; I am the taunt of drunkards. Psalm 69:14 As for me, may my prayer come to You, O Lord, at a favorable moment; O God, in Your abundant faithfulness, answer me with Your sure deliverance. Psalm 69:15 Rescue me from the mire; let me not sink; let me be rescued from my enemies, and from the watery depths.

Psalm 69:25 Pour out Your wrath on them; may Your blazing anger overtake them; Psalm 69:26 may their encampments be desolate; may their tents stand empty. Psalm 69:27 For they persecute those You have struck; they talk about the pain of those You have felled.

Mark 15:34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). Mark 15:35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.” Mark 15:36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said. Mark 15:37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

Psalm 22:17 Dogs surround me; a pack of evil ones closes in on me, like lions [they maul] my hands and feet. Psalm 22:18 I take count of all my bones while they look on and gloat. Psalm 22:19 They divide my clothes among themselves, casting lots for my garments.
Mark 15:43 Joseph of Arimathea took a risk and went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. (Joseph was an honored member of the high council, and he was waiting for the Kingdom of God to come.) Mark 15:46 Joseph bought a long sheet of linen cloth. Then he took Jesus’ body down from the cross, wrapped it in the cloth, and laid it in a tomb that had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone in front of the entrance. Mark 15:47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where Jesus’ body was laid. Mark 16:1 Saturday evening, when the Sabbath ended, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome went out and purchased burial spices so they could anoint Jesus’ body.

Tuesday, August 1, 2023
Two supermoons in August mean double the stargazing fun (AP) The cosmos is offering up a double feature in August: a pair of supermoons culminating in a rare blue moon. Catch the first show Tuesday evening as the full moon rises in the southeast, appearing slightly brighter and bigger than normal. That’s because it will be closer than usual, just 222,159 miles (357,530 kilometers) away, thus the supermoon label. The moon will be even closer the night of Aug. 30—a scant 222,043 miles (357,344 kilometers) distant. Because it’s the second full moon in the same month, it will be what’s called a blue moon. The last time two full supermoons graced the sky in the same month was in 2018. It won’t happen again until 2037.
The Race for the Melting Arctic (WSJ) On patrol in the Bering Sea last fall, the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Kimball spotted seven Chinese and Russian vessels steaming through the frigid waters in a double line near Alaska’s Aleutian Islands. Russian warships and Chinese research vessels aren’t uncommon in a region that includes the Aleutians, a strategic chain of volcanic islands that divides the Pacific Ocean from the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean. “But to see these combatants form up in a surface action group together and steam together, that’s what’s rare,” said Rear Adm. Nathan Moore. Once a lonely and largely impassable maritime expanse where countries worked together to extract natural resources, the Arctic is increasingly contested territory. As sea ice melts and traffic increases on the southern edges of the Arctic Ocean, governments are maneuvering in ways that mirror the great-power rivalries seen in lower latitudes. In recent months, Russian bombers have increased their patrols over the Arctic and have probed further south. Norway’s intelligence service said that with Russia’s conventional forces weakened by the war in Ukraine, its strategic weapons are taking on greater importance, among them the nuclear-armed submarines of Russia’s Northern Fleet. More Russian-flagged commercial and government vessels are active in Arctic waters. In response, the U.S. is beefing up its presence in the Arctic by adding to its polar icebreakers. The U.S. has just one icebreaker in the region for only part of the year, compared with three dozen owned by Russia.
Heat Is Costing the U.S. Economy Billions in Lost Productivity (NYT) As much of the United States swelters under record heat, Amazon drivers and warehouse workers have gone on strike in part to protest working conditions that can exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. On triple-digit days in Orlando, utility crews are postponing checks for gas leaks, since digging outdoors dressed in heavy safety gear could endanger their lives. Even in Michigan, on the nation’s northern border, construction crews are working shortened days because of heat. Extreme heat is regularly affecting workers beyond expected industries like agriculture and construction. Sizzling temperatures are causing problems for those who work in factories, warehouses and restaurants and also for employees of airlines and telecommunications firms, delivery services and energy companies. The cost is high. In 2021, more than 2.5 billion hours of labor in the U.S. agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and service sectors were lost to heat exposure, according to data compiled by The Lancet. Another report found that in 2020, the loss of labor as a result of heat exposure cost the economy about $100 billion, a figure projected to grow to $500 billion annually by 2050.
Miami’s Overflowing Septic Tanks and Trash Piles Test Appeal to Rich (Bloomberg) Miami wants to attract even more out-of-state workers and wealthy newcomers like hedge fund tycoon Ken Griffin. But first, County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava faces a huge environmental problem: overflowing garbage heaps and septic tanks. Some of greater Miami’s massive landfills, known by clever names like Mount Trashmore, will run out of space by 2026, according to a report from Cava’s office. More urgent are the septic systems that serve the city’s 2.7 million residents. Many of those front-yard sewage tanks overflow when it rains, releasing fecal bacteria and other contaminants that transform patches of tropical paradise into toxic swamps that kill fish and sicken people.
‘You do it or we do it’ (NYT) Mexico has been one of America’s closest allies for years under both Democratic and Republican administrations, even Donald Trump’s. That may be changing. Republican officials and voters have not only expressed criticisms of Mexico but also outright hostility against America’s southern neighbor. The starkest example involves repeated calls by Republican presidential candidates to bomb Mexico or unilaterally send troops there to stop the illegal drug trade, which would be an act of war. Trump led the way: He asked defense officials about striking Mexico with missiles while he was president, and during the 2024 presidential campaign he has supported military action. Ron DeSantis has called for using deadly force and a naval blockade of Mexican ports to stop drug traffickers. More moderate candidates, like Tim Scott and Nikki Haley, have also backed using the military against drug cartels in Mexico. “You know what you tell the Mexican president? ‘Either you do it or we do it,’” Haley said in March. “But we are not going to let all of this lawlessness continue to happen.” “In 35 years, this takes the prize as the stupidest idea I have ever heard,” said Jonathan Caulkins at Carnegie Mellon University. In addition to the likely humanitarian toll and the hit to U.S. standing in the world, any incursion into Mexico could worsen the same problems Republicans are trying to address. To the extent that the U.S. has succeeded in stemming illegal immigration and drugs in recent years, it has relied on Mexico’s close cooperation.
In Odesa, Attacks Stoke Hatred of Russia (NYT) Standing on a bridge overlooking the road to Odesa’s main port, Nina Sulzhenko surveyed the damage wrought by a recent Russian missile strike: The House of Scientists, one of the Ukrainian city’s best-loved buildings, was in shambles. The mansion’s destroyed gardens spilled down over a ruined residential complex, and burned bricks lay strewn across the sidewalk. “I feel pain, and I want revenge,” said Ms. Sulzhenko, 74. “I don’t have the words to say what we should do to them.” Hers was a common sentiment in Odesa this past week after a series of missile strikes damaged the city’s port and 29 historic buildings in its Belle Époque city center, including the Transfiguration Cathedral, one of Ukraine’s largest. Odesa plays an important role in the mind of imperial Russians, and especially President Vladimir V. Putin, who views it as an integral part of Russian culture. But if Mr. Putin believed that Odesans would feel a reciprocal bond, he could not have been more mistaken, residents and city officials interviewed this past week said. Especially after the recent spate of missile attacks.
Russia Says 2 Drones Hit Buildings in Moscow in Latest Wave of Attacks (NYT/NBC News) The Russian Defense Ministry said on Sunday that Ukrainian forces had fired at least three drones at Moscow, demonstrating that few places are off limits after more than 17 months of war. One drone was destroyed in Odintsovo, outside Moscow, the Defense Ministry said, adding that two others struck commercial buildings in the capital after being intercepted by Russian air defenses. There were no injuries, Moscow’s mayor, Sergey Sobyanin, said in a post on the Telegram messaging app, but video footage from Russian state media showed blown-out windows and twisted beams in one of Moscow’s premier skyscrapers. Kyiv has stopped short of taking responsibility for the drone attacks, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggested Sunday this could mark a new chapter. “Gradually, the war is returning to the territory of Russia—to its symbolic centers and military bases, and this is an inevitable, natural and absolutely fair process,” Zelenskyy said Sunday in his nightly video address. Last week, a drone fell in the center of the capital near the defense ministry headquarters, while another gutted a few upper floors of another building.
ISIL claims responsibility for Pakistan bombing that killed 54 people (Al Jazeera) The death toll from a massive suicide bombing that targeted an election in the border district of Bajaur has risen to 54, as Pakistan held funerals and the government promised to hunt down those behind the attack. Nearly 200 people were wounded in Sunday’s bombing claimed by the ISIL (ISIS) armed group on Monday. Around 400 members of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) party—a key government coalition partner headed by hardline politician Fazlur Rehman—were waiting on Sunday for speeches to begin when a bomber detonated a vest packed with explosives near the front stage.
11 dead and 27 missing in flooding around Beijing after days of rain (AP) Chinese state media report 11 people have died and 27 are missing amid flooding in the mountains surrounding the capital Beijing. Days of heavy rains have prompted authorities to close train stations and evacuate people in vulnerable communities to school gyms, state broadcaster CCTV reported Tuesday. Homes have been flooded, roads torn apart and cars piled into stacks. The level of rainfall is highly unusual for Beijing, which generally enjoys a moderate, dry climate. Flooding in other parts of northern China that rarely see such large amounts of rain have led to scores of deaths.
Legacy of corruption (Foreign Policy) The head of Lebanon’s central bank stepped down on Monday amid rampant corruption allegations and one of the nation’s worst financial crises in history. Riad Salameh, age 73, served at the country’s economic helm for 30 years. He came to power only three years after the nation’s 15-year civil war ended, at a time when international aid was flooding the country. Under his leadership, though, Lebanon’s currency lost 98 percent of its value, unemployment skyrocketed, and food prices increased by more than 600 percent. Salameh is currently under investigation for embezzlement in numerous countries, having borrowed money to pay existing creditors. He continues to deny the allegations, which many economic experts have compared to a Ponzi scheme.
Thousands take to streets in Gaza in rare public display of discontent with Hamas (AP) Several thousand people briefly took to the streets across the Gaza Strip on Sunday to protest chronic power outages and difficult living conditions, providing a rare public show of discontent with the territory’s Hamas government. Hamas security forces quickly dispersed the gatherings. Marches took place in Gaza City, the southern town of Khan Younis and other locations, chanting “what a shame” and in one place burning Hamas flags, before police moved in and broke up the protests. Hamas rules Gaza with an iron fist, barring most demonstrations and quickly stamping out public displays of dissent. The Islamic militant group seized control of Gaza in 2007 from the forces of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, prompting Israel and Egypt to impose a crippling blockade on the territory. The closure has devastated Gaza’s economy, sent unemployment skyrocketing and led to frequent power outages. During the current heat wave, people have been receiving four to six hours of power a day due to heavy demand.
West African nations threaten to use force if Niger’s president isn’t reinstated within a week (AP) West African nations have given Niger’s coup leaders one week to reinstate the country’s democratically elected president and have threatened to use force if the demands aren’t met. The announcement came at the end of an emergency meeting of West African countries Sunday in Nigeria, where the regional bloc, known as ECOWAS, convened to respond to last week’s military takeover. President Mohamed Bazoum remains under house arrest and has yet to resign. “In the event the authority’s demands are not met within one week, (the bloc will) take all measures necessary to restore constitutional order in the Republic of Niger. Such measures may include the use of force,” said the statement. The bloc also imposed strict sanctions, including suspending all commercial and financial transactions between ECOWAS member states and Niger and freezing of assets in regional central banks.

October 2020 Super New Moon & an Election
Dateline: October 16, 2020 15:30 The new moon was on Friday, October 16, 2020 at 2:30 in the afternoon and was a supermoon, a term coined by Richard Nolle. This occurs when the Full Moon or New Moon happens during the Moon’s closest approach to Earth, its perigee: this is called a supermoon. The next supermoon will be March 9 2021. The ascendant of 19 Aquarius 26, a large white dove circling…

What is the lunar cycle?
The Moon appears to change shape throughout the lunar cycle:
New Moon
Waxing crescent Moon
First Quarter
Waxing gibbous Moon
Full Moon
Waning gibbous Moon
Third quarter
Waning crescent Moon
New Moon again.
We only see the Moon because it reflects light from the Sun. As it orbits the Earth, the amount of light it can reflect back at us changes. When the Moon goes between the Sun and the Earth, no light can reflect back at us so there is a new Moon.
When the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, a full Moon occurs as the Moon’s face is fully illuminated by the Sun. During the times in between, only parts of the Moon can reflect light back to Earth.

If the Moon orbited Earth in the same plane as Earth orbits the Sun, then the Moon would block out light from the Sun every time there was a new Moon.
But this doesn’t happen because the Moon orbits at an angle of around 5 degrees compared to Earth’s orbit of the Sun. When the Moon passes through Earth’s plane of orbit and the three bodies – Earth, Moon and Sun line up.
More like this
This is called a syzygy. When a syzygy happens during a new Moon we have a solar eclipse, and a syzygy during a full Moon creates a lunar eclipse.
How can I see a Supermoon?
The Moon doesn’t orbit Earth in a circle – it has an elliptical orbit. This means the distance between the Earth and the Moon varies. The closest point in the orbit is called perigee and the furthest away point is apogee.
When a full Moon happens at the same time the Moon is closest to the Earth – less than 360,000km (223,694 miles) away – this is a supermoon. The next supermoon will be on 28 March 2021.
How can I photograph the moon at night?
To capture the Moon with your phone, you might need to play around with your camera settings. Don’t use a flash, turn down the ISO and set your focus to 100.
If you are unsure how to make these changes, download a night photography app (such as NightCap – available on the App Store, £2.99) which will allow you greater control over the camera settings than your usual camera app.
Tumblr media
The Moon is a great target to photograph with a DSLR © Getty images
If you’re using a digital camera, start with an aperture of f/11 to f/16 and a shutter speed of between 1/60th and 1/125th of a second. A tripod will help keep your camera still and reduce any shaking from the low light conditions when you need to keep the shutter open a little longer.
To get the best pictures of the Moon you need to work out your shot, making sure you can frame the Moon depending on the scenery around you. To plan where you can see the Moon, or anything in the night sky, there is plenty of software available (like the Moon Locator app – available on Android devices, free).
To find more software worthy of your home screen, check out our guide to the best astronomy apps.
Does the Moon rotate?
Yes, the Moon is rotating. But it is tidally locked, which means it rotates in sync with its orbit of the Earth, so for every orbit of the Earth it completes one rotation.
This means as it travels around our planet, the same side faces us the whole time. This is why we have the term ‘dark side of the Moon’, for the side we never see. In reality, that side of the Moon gets just as much sunlight as the side we see, so the correct term is the ‘far side of the Moon’.
What is a Blood Moon and how can I see it?
“During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon turns a red colour because Earth’s atmosphere scatters blue light away and only the red gets through. This is called a Blood Moon,” says Abigail Beall.
The next total lunar eclipse visible from the UK will be on 14 March 2025 (UK, Europe, Africa, Americas, east Asia, Australia).
We have a little while to wait for the next Blood Moon; below are the dates for the next total lunar eclipse that will give us a Blood Moon:
14 March 2025: UK, Europe, Africa, America, east Asia, Australia
7 September 2025: UK, Europe, Asia, Australia
3 March 2026: America, Asia, Australia
31 December 2028: UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, western US and Canada

NASA provides this animation which explains how it occurs. Why is it called a Pink Moon The phrase 'Pink Moon' comes from Northern Native Americans, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
#Super pink moom full
According to Nasa, April's Pink Moon will be the 'most super' of the full Super Moons this year. A full moon meditation focuses on increased energy. A Pink Moon is a type of Super Moon, which occurs when a new or full Moon is unusually close to Earth. (There were 13 full moons last year, two of which were in October. Typical of a normal year, 2021 will have 12 full moons. This full Moon (in April of 2020) will be slightly closer to the Earth (about 0.1%) than the March full Moon was, so this will be the “most super” of the full supermoons this year.Īn even rarer event-once in every 18 years-occurs when a full moon is aligned in just the right way to cause a Supermoon Eclipse. People use full moons to describe natures changing seasons and cycles. A pink supermoon rises on Apin Worthing, United Kingdom. For 2020, the four full Moons from February to May meet this 90% threshold, with the full Moons in March and April nearly tied in size and brightness. How did it get its nickname and why is it so super The Super Pink Moon will glow in. The first of only two supermoons of 2021 rises in a Super Pink Full Moon tonight (April 26) and you have a chance to watch it. In practice, what catches the public's attention are the full Moons that appear biggest and brightest each year. Aprils full moon is known as the Pink Moon, but it wont really be pink. Pink supermoon is the first and one of only two supermoons of 2021. Under this definition, in a typical year there can be 3 or 4 FULL Supermoons in a row and (about half a year apart) 3 or 4 NEW Supermoons in a row. The term “supermoon” was coined by the astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979 and refers to either a new or full Moon that occurs within 90% of perigee, its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit. NASA tells us more about the naming of Supermoons: As the lower of these two images from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) depicts, the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon during times when the Moon is full. When the Moon is full, in the Spring, it also has an impact on the ocean tides (causing them to rise). To see the Moon rise against such a backdrop is a spectacular event. The phenomenon was captured around the world, dwarfing the Shard in London and glowing over the Empire State Building in New York City. Traditionally called the Pink Moon, this full Moon is also the Paschal full Moon this year. When it occurs in April, a Supermoon is also called a “Super Pink Moon.” The Moon isn’t pink, of course, but it’s called “Pink” because of the pink moss- Phlox subulata-which blooms at this time of year. Super Pink Moon is the Biggest and Brightest of the Year ApDownload Image If you look up at the sky this evening after sunset, you will likely catch a glimpse of the biggest and brightest full moon of 2020. A SUPER Pink Moon lit up skies around the world tonight in a rare spectacle once linked to 'the end of days'. Aprils full Moon rises on the night of Saturday, April 16. The term Pink Moon refers to the full moon that. US moon-watchers should see it at its best this evening, whereas people in Australia will be treated to the Super Pink Moon tomorrow, according to Science Alert. This phenomenon puts the Moon in a perigee (closest-to-Earth) position and, when the Moon is full, it is especially bright and beautiful. Stargazers in the UK should spot the huge moon rising tonight before it reaches its brightness peak in the early hours of April 8. The Pink Moon goes by several other names that also signal the coming of spring, including the Egg Moon, the Sprouting Grass Moon, and the Fish Moon.Something amazing occurs in the night sky when the Earth is aligned between the Sun and the Moon.

🍓🌕STRAWBERRY SUPERMOON TONIGHT🌕🍓
The summer solstice is here, and tonight we will witness the last "supermoon" of the year 2021. Supermoons happen when the moon is the exact opposite to the sun, and is closest to the Earth, which is why they appear bigger during the full moon. This happens because of the solstice. Earths axis is tilted in a way in which we are closest to the moon. The atmosphere also gives it the amber colored appearance because it is so close to us during this time.
It is called the "Strawberry Moon" because around this time in June, the Summer Solstice, is when Strawberries are ripe for harvest. It is also referred to as the "Rose Moon" because roses bloom during this time in June as well.
In some European and Native American cultures, it would be referred to as the "Honey Moon" or the "Mead Moon" because this time in June, during the solstice, is when honey is harvested. The honey would then be mixed with fruits, herbs, hops, etc. To make mead. Thus giving the moon the nicknames, to represent this time of year.
Because of the "Honey Moon" nickname, the tradition of having a "honeymoon" was started, because June is typically the month when couples get married, and also the month of the Honey Moon.
So, this moon has several different meanings to it, as well as being the last supermoon of the year. The full moon will appear "full" starting tonight, and lasting all the way to this Saturday.
It is a great night to set your crystals, tarot deck, and the rest of your tools in the moonlight. The gravitational pull of this full moon will be more intense than usual, again, because of the solstice, resulting in some wicked energy.
Let this moon remind you of the love you have in your life. Whether it be the love you have for your partner, or the love you have for your family or friends. The summer solstice has traditionally been the time of marriage and love and fruitfulness. Celebrate it. Welcome it.
Happy Supermoon, and happy solstice!!!
🌺🌸🌔🌕🌖🌸🌺
