On a recent instagram post, a US astrologer Jill brown shares which zodiac signs are likely to be most impacted during the Blue Moon 2026 occuring tomorrow.
Despite its name, a blue moon is not a different kind of moon. The term is commonly used to describe an extra full moon that appears within a calendar cycle. Because the lunar cycle lasts around 29.5 days, a month can occasionally fit two full moons, making the second one a “Blue Moon.”
This timing is what makes the event relatively uncommon, which is also where the popular phrase “once in a blue moon” comes from.
Is the Blue Moon actually blue in colour?

Usually, no. A Blue Moon does not mean the Moon will appear blue in the night sky.

In rare cases, the Moon can take on a bluish tint because of unusual atmospheric conditions, such as smoke or volcanic particles in the air. But that is separate from the astronomical meaning of a Blue Moon.
So, for most viewers, the May 2026 full moon is expected to look much like a regular full moon.
The name has a long history tied to older lunar calendars and later popular usage. Over time, “Blue Moon” became associated with an additional or less common full moon event.
