Lunar Eclipse and Casting Spells

We here in the Philippines will have the pleasure of seeing a spectacular astronomical event when one of two total lunar eclipses start to happen in less than an hour, specifically at 1:23 am on Thursday, June 16, 2011 and will end at 7:02 am on the same day. This is a wonderful time for all wizards and witches alike to cast their spells and use the energy of this micro month event when we get to see all the moon's phases in a period of a few hours.

The Blue Moon Spell

The blue moon for December will occur at around 7 p.m. of Dec. 31 universal time, previously known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). It will be visible in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Africa.

Since the Philippines is eight hours ahead of universal time, the blue moon for the Philippines will lapse into Jan. 1 at 3:12 a.m.. Therefore, this full moon will not be considered a blue moon by Philippine standards.

But we will have two full moons for the month of January, with the first coming in on Jan. 1 and another on Jan. 30, the latter being the “blue moon.”

For February, there will be no full moon because the month will have 28 days. A full moon has a 29-day cycle.

But March will again have two full moons, the first on March 1 and the other, considered the blue moon, on March 30.

The Evening The Sky Smiled

Thanksgiving weekend has just passed. But it was not only us that celebrated it. Even the sky is in agreement that we do have a lot of things to be thankful for and to smile about. Below is a photo of Jupiter, Venus and the moon as it formed a SMILE in the sky. My husband and I took out our Nikon D40 to capture this rare occurrence.
