Fun fact: Any time the Moon is technically “full” on October 31st (as it will be this year), it would also have to be a Blue Moon because the lunar cycle is only 29.5 days long. There is an alternate definition of a “Blue Moon”—when there are 4 full Moons in a single season, the third is considered a “Blue Moon.”

Why is blue moon called blue moon?

Why is blue moon called Blue?
The extra days accumulate, so every two or three years (seven times in the 19 year Metonic cycle), there is an extra full moon in the year. The extra full moon necessarily falls in one of the four seasons, giving that season four full moons instead of the usual three, and, hence, a “blue” moon.
Which moon is best for manifesting?
As the name suggests, the new moon phase is all about new beginnings and setting intentions for what we want to manifest over the next few weeks. Consider the new moon a clean slate, a time for gathering your thoughts and making an intentional plan for what you’d like to achieve in the coming days and weeks.
