Reflection for the Blue Moon

As the two hemispheres prepare to welcome different calendar seasons — summer in the North and winter in the South — the sky offers us a rare moment for an inner check-in.

On May 31, 2026, at 08:44 UTC (GMT 0) — we meet the Blue Moon. The second Full Moon of May.

May was rich with lunar events: it began with a Full Moon in Scorpio, then moved through a New Moon in Taurus, and now comes to a close with a Full Moon in Sagittarius. To reconnect with the full context of the month, you can return to my article about the Moons of May.

And at the same time, it will be the smallest Full Moon of the year — the Moon will be close to apogee, its farthest point from Earth. The difference may not be obvious to everyone, but the symbolism here is precise: the farther the Moon is, the wider the horizon becomes.

And perhaps this is exactly the kind of view we need right now.

This Full Moon takes place at 9°56′ Sagittarius. And Sagittarius is always connected with big questions: What do I believe in? Where am I going? What is true for me? Which ideals are no longer just beautiful words, but my personal compass?

While the Sun in Gemini gathers details, compares, analyzes, and asks dozens of questions, the Moon in Sagittarius looks further. Facts alone are not enough for her. She needs meaning.

Gemini asks:

What do I know?

Sagittarius asks:

What is this knowledge for?

The Blue Moon on May 31 will not turn blue. And perhaps it will not look enormous. But its rarity and distance capture the meaning of this moment with striking precision.

Sometimes, to see the truth, we need to step back.

Sometimes, to find the path, we need to stop examining every little detail.

Sometimes, the most important answer appears not when we look closer, but when we finally see wider.
