Micro Full Moon (June 29): The Full Moon occurs when the moon is near its farthest point from Earth (apogee), appearing slightly smaller and dimmer than a typical full moon.Strawberry Moon (June 30): The second full moon of the month, traditionally called the Strawberry Moon, which coincides with prime strawberry harvest season.
May 2026 featured a rare celestial event: two full moons in a single calendar month. Following the first full moon (the Flower Moon) on May 1, the second—the Blue Moon—peaked in the early morning hours on May 31, 2026.Official Peak: It reached maximum illumination at 08:45 UTC on May 31 (4:45 a.m. Eastern / 1:45 a.m. Pacific).Rarity: Having two full moons in one month occurs roughly every 2.5 to 3 years. The next time a month will feature two full moons will be in December 2028.The May 31, 2026 Blue Moon—the second full moon in a single calendar month—symbolizes accelerated personal growth, extreme emotional amplification, and a karmic reset. Occurring in the adventurous sign of Sagittarius, it spiritually challenges you to break free from limitations and pursue radical authenticity.Expansion & Discovery: Sagittarius is the zodiac's truth-seeker. This lunar energy encourages you to step outside your comfort zone, take a leap of faith, and stop shrinking yourself to fit outdated identities.Releasing Dead Weight: If a standard full moon is a time to let go, a Blue Moon acts as an accelerated "cosmic alarm clock," forcing you to confront baggage you previously swept under the rug.A Second Chance: Representing a "do-over," this rare moon is the perfect time to clear out leftover mental or emotional clutter you missed earlier in the month.Energetic Cleansing: Spiritual practitioners view this moon as a universe-sent "cosmic reset button" that demands complete honesty before moving into a new energetic chapter.Action over Overthinking: Instead of just dreaming, this lunation provides the momentum to execute long-term goals and pivot toward the life you truly want.
The Oregon Zoo hosts "2-Buck Tuesdays," offering discounted $2 admission on the second Tuesday of every month. Additionally, the zoo occasionally offers limited "Community Free Days" or seasonal discounts (like half-price admission in late winter). ( Maybe I'll go to the zoo on Tuesdays till I leave).
