What a lucky blessing this Blue Full Moon is, it is actually a Blue Micro Full Moon 31st May, and these only come along every 2-3 years. So please make the most of this opportunity on a spiritual level as well as your daily life.
The full moon in Australia starts on 31st May at 18.45 pm (6.45pm ) AEST
The New Moon starts on 15 June 2026 at 12.54pm AEST.
Now is the time to let go (culminating) of things in your life to make way for the new things to enter, clearing the decks so to speak. The energy of the Blue Micro Full Moon is an added and needed bonus to take advantage of, it has extra power to move things out quicker than a regular full moon.
Now just going into the moon phases briefly, there are 4 phases to be aware of in the monthly cycle. First is the New Moon, and this is important when beginning something new, such as a new relationship, marriage, starting a new business etc, including weight loss. To start anything new on a full moon is definitely doomed to failure. So follow the cycles of the moon for better results.
One thing that is a good idea on top of this when it comes to a new business is using numerology to enhance your chances of a successful business. Choose the right combination of letters in naming your business or even a name that you wish to be known as professionally. Actors and singers do this all the time. You may want to consult a Numerologist to help determine a better choice of name for your business.
Set your goals, plans, brand name, product, services, website or whatever under the influence of a New Moon. In the following 2 weeks after the New Moon keep moving forward. You are in the green light phase so get busy taking care of your objectives or business goals. This phase is used for building, drawing or attracting what you want. It’s like giving birth, a new beginning so nurture it.
Use each day constructively, in the first three days for instance, you are taking the primary steps. So put extra focus into what ever it is that you want to achieve. You are accumulating the materials, bare bones and perhaps a client base here. Communication is key to success in this particular process.
From day 4 up to date 7 which is the first quarter of the moon phase, you should be increasing your pace as you should be gaining momentum. Do expect hiccups and setbacks, here because it is part of your learning curve. Don’t be anxious or feel like giving up, you must push yourself over this hurdle or you won’t succeed.
From the 8th day to the 11 day after a full moon, which is called waxing gibbous, this is an assessment phase where you can tweak or fine tune your objectives or goals realistically. If it works, good, if not rethink what you’re trying to accomplish.
The final stage is from day 12 up to the full moon, this is crunch time. You are now making an appraisal of your efforts like the 7 of pentacles. You have reached a milestone as the Full Moon is treated as a culmination or termination point astrologically speaking. If you have been successful this is where you have brought all of your actions together and seeing the results of your actions. You learn from this process and can use this to move forward.
The Waning gibbous moon phase is a cycle for bringing things to an end, the culmination of your efforts or experience such as a business. This is a time to rest after the initial hard work has been done, stop check and review.
On a cautionary note, check moon phases prior to having surgery, as the moon phases control bleeding and can have very severe consequences such as unsuccessful surgery outcomes or even death. The moon rules all body fluids and especially blood flow, the moon also rules hormones.
You can find lunar calendars online to guide you in important matters and decision making such as legal matters, getting married etc. I do recommend getting a good astrologer that can consult your individual birth chart as to whether it is advisable to proceed with decisions including surgery, buying and selling your home, investments etc. Knowing the green light and the red light for success or failure is essential. You should also be aware of what astrological position the moon is in during the event. The full moon will be in Sagittarius on 31 May, but that is different to how it shows on your birth chart you need to check your astrological chart to see how this affects you personally. Even if you don’t know the time that you were born, a rough estimate is taken from where each planet was on that day by using an ephemeris.
This month’s Blue Micro Full Moon is an excellent one aligned with it being the year of the Fire Horse with its equally fast driving and dynamic energy. So remember the full moon is time to chuck out things that holds us back in life, such as attitudes, beliefs and bad habits.
The moon phases are very helpful if we know how to use them. This current Blue moon is a golden opportunity to get our act together to achieve wonderful results. Don’t worry if you miss this one because you can always catch up with any future full moon. However the Blue Moon is not expected again until next year on 20 May 2027, so mark it in your calendar. The following one after that is 31 December 2028.
Being aware of lunar cycles and when specific ones are due to pop up is highly beneficial, so google Astrological calendars and Moon cycle calendars. You may wish to print one and highlight the key dates to keep track of them. More importantly stick them in your phone so you see them as they pop up.
The power of the Blue moon helps us be more courageous and pushing ourselves to take a chance to overcome our fears, just go for it. Take opportunities when they manifest in your life especially under a Blue Moon influence. Grab the opportunity with both hands and put all your intentions and focus into it and make it work for you. This Blue Moon represents longterm gains so you see how special this is. Yes, it moves one out of one’s comfort zone and that is what it’s supposed to do, so use this time wisely and grab your chance to get rid of whatever is holding you back.

A Micro Moon is actually when the moon is the furthest away from the Earth, astrologically it is known as Apogee Moon The opposite of this is the Perigee Moon where the Moon is the closest to the Earth.
The Apogee is not so bright in the sky and looks smaller, the Perigee Moon is bigger and brighter. The next Perigee Moon is on 13th June 2026. https://moonhoroscope.com/canberra/apogee-perigee-moon-2026-year
Types of Moons
The Harvest Moon, Blood Moon, Blue Moon, Super Moon, Wormwood Moon Strawberry/Pink Moon.
The astrological benefits of a Harvest Moon are
More psychic clarity meaning you can get a better intuitive understanding or insight. I especially feel this every September as that is when it falls in the southern hemisphere and my annual solar return ( birthday).
The Harvest Moon is responsible for bringing what’s hidden in your subconscious to the surface or forefront of your mind. This is fears, anxieties, traumatic memories, repressed emotions. This gives us the chance to examine them and understand them, hopefully helping us to heal and empower us positively.
The Wormwood Moon (artemisia) is a protective influence to ward off any negative influences and energies. This empowers us to stand strong and defend our rightful boundaries confidently.
Getting rid of negative energetic ties or cords, you may wish to use a Sage or a heavy duty Mugwort smudge stick to clear any deep negative energy or attachment cords to people that you don’t want in your life. Or even a negative situation you want gone.
You can also use Meditation essences and sprays such as Space Clearing Essences, such as the Australian Bush Flower Essences which are available worldwide. Just go with what resonates with you best.
By being more aware of moon phases is a great boon for sensitive people. It allows them to reclaim their personal power and space allowing them to become more grounded in life.
Learn to love that lady moon and all her loving energy.
Some more information about the moon phases is how to take advantage of the days at the beginning right through to the end on a regular basis. The two weeks after a new moon is the green light phase, so we get busy taking care of business so to speak. This is used for building, drawing on attracting what you want to create or achieve and using each day constructively.
The first three days are for taking the primary steps, focusing your intention on what you want. Accumulating what you need such as materials needed, a client base, ideas , plans etc.
The fourth to the seventh day or the first quarter of the moon. This is the increasing your pace, expect some hiccups, it’s only natural but keep on going and don’t worry about any setbacks or stalling. Keep going forward and don’t be fearful or feel defeated by a mishap.
From the eighth day to the eleventh day or Waxing, is the fine tuning or tweaking your goals and objectives realistically. If it works, good, if not rethink what you are trying to achieve.
From the twelfth to the Full Moon, Culmination point, this is where you make an appraisal of you efforts,
You have reached the milestone or goal. The Full Moon is a culmination of something, some will terminate here, while others move on to the next phase if they are meant to. This is bringing together all of the actions or processes into one. You can new see the results, what have you gleaned from this process or experience.
One thing that I find frustrating in astrology is dates are slightly out or the time it varies depending on what website you use and then looking at the American Ephemeris for the 21st Century which I normally rely on. If you don't own an ephemeris, www.Astro.com have a free Swiss one.
One would imagine that they all have the exact same date and time, however it depends on where you are located and the angle of the Earth when doing calculations. When I started to write this post I had used the ephemeris calculations, which are taken from the NASA jet propulsion lab and therefore the most accurate figures, but google shows a few different results. Very confusing for a student like me 🤔 Then there is the rolling (moon wobble as it crosses the elliptical transit and the earth tilt) difference in the effects on the moon phase.
