🔮 The Real Deal on the May 2026 Blue Moon
Look, having two full moons in a single month (May 1st and May 31st) isn’t your average cosmic Tuesday. It’s a rare mathematical glitch in our calendar that happens every two to three years. If that doesn't trigger your curiosity, feel free to close this tab—but since you're here, let’s dive into what’s actually happening.
First, a reality check: it’s not turning blue. It will be its usual white-yellow self. What's more ironic is that this grand "Blue Moon" is actually a micromoon, sitting at its furthest point from Earth. It’s going to look smaller and less luminous than usual. The universe isn't putting on a massive visual block-buster show for us tonight; instead, it's forcing us to stop looking outward for fireworks and start looking inward.
Astrologically, we are closing a massive arc. We started May with a heavy, deeply transformative Full Moon in Scorpio. We are ending it in Sagitarius—the sign of vision, truth, and forward momentum. Whatever Scorpio dug up and shook loose for you earlier this month, Sagitarius is now illuminating and demanding you make a choice about. With Uranus recently entering Gemini, words have extra weight right now. You might be waiting for "all the data" before making a move, but newsflash: the data is never going to be 100% complete. Sagitarius acts anyway.
🕯️ The 3 Rituals: Pick Your Medicine
You don't need to do all three of these. Pick the one you actually need right now. And no, you don't need to wake up at 4:00 AM or panic if it's cloudy. The energy is there whether you can see the moon through the clouds or not.
1. The Clean Slate (Ritual to Let Go)
Who it’s for: Anyone still dragging around baggage from earlier this month—half-baked conversations, decisions you keep second-guessing, or things you pretend don't bother you anymore.
The Method: Light a white or black candle. Turn off your phone and sit in actual silence. Write down exactly what you want to release on a piece of paper. It doesn't need to be pretty prose; it can be a single name or a messy question. Acknowledge that it taught you something, burn it safely (or rip it up), and toss it into water. Blow out the candle. Done.
2. The Truth Bomb (Ritual for Clarity)
Who it’s for: If you are trapped in your own head, over-analyzing a situation, and need to hear the answer your intuition already knows.
The Method: Grab a clear quartz or amethyst and place it next to or inside a glass of water. Write down one burning question on a slip of paper and slide it under the glass. Sit there for 15 minutes without trying to force an answer. Then, write down the very first thing that pops into your head without editing it. You might hate the answer, which usually means it's the right one.
3. The Contract (Ritual to Manifest)
Who it’s for: Let’s be clear—manifesting isn't wishing on a star; it’s a commitment. If you’re expecting the universe to do your homework for you, skip this.
The Method: Light a green or gold candle. Write down exactly what you intend to achieve before the next Blue Moon in December 2028. Write it in the present tense, as a real promise to yourself of what you will do, stop doing, and decide. Fold it in four, place it under the candle, and blow it out when finished. Hide the paper away. Opening it in 2028 will be a trip.
📅 The Morning After (June 1st)
The ritual doesn't actually end when you blow out the candle; it ends when you change your behavior. On Monday morning, before you scroll through social media, grab a notebook and write down three simple sentences:
What you finished in May.
What you are starting in June.
What you are absolutely not repeating.
Five minutes. That’s how you actually lock in this energy.
