✦ The three dates to circle ✦
The Blue Moon of 31 May: the second full moon within a single month, an event rare enough to have given the language the phrase "once in a blue moon". The perfect moment for a slightly unreasonable wish.
The eclipse of 28 August: a full moon in Pisces partially eclipsed, visible from France. Eclipses hurry the endings of cycles along: something to live through gently.
The super moon of 24 December: the Moon at its closest to Earth, huge and luminous for the night before Christmas. The most beautiful of the year.
✦ What to do with them? ✦
Each full moon is a monthly appointment with yourself: the moment to take stock, to release what weighs on you and to give thanks. No cauldron required: we have gathered four simple rituals that actually do you good. And if one precise question keeps you company that night, write it down before you sleep: the answer often arrives with the morning.
