Dreams come true.
Or Halloween falls during a pandemic…
Skywatchers, ghouls, goblins and werewolves take note: The moon will be full this Halloween night with the additional confluence of spookiness. The Oct. 31 full moon also happens to be a “blue moon,” a designation for the second full moon to occur in a single calendar month.
Blue moons are relatively rare. We last saw one in March 2018.
Why a blue moon? There’s an old definition that it’s a fourth full moon in a quarter of a year but the definition that everyone knows, is that a blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month.
Because the full moon in each month has a name in the Farmers’ Almanac calendar — “wolf moon,” “harvest moon,” and all that — the 13th moon in the year was called a “blue moon.”
Since October has 31 days, and the average time between full moons is 29.5 days, if there’s a full moon on Halloween, it has to be a blue moon. You get the same phase of the moon on the same date in the Gregorian calendar every 19 years.
To celebrate this auspicious lunar happening in a year that’s given us lots of tricks and not many treats, Southwest Wellness is offering a few Halloween Specials for those lucky card-carrying cannabis customers amongst us.
The Halloween Special includes 20% off Budder Pros and Mountaintop Extracts Hard Candies, Drinks, Lollipops, and Cookies!
Flowers remain at their current low prices and there are always new varieties on the shelves.
Have a sweet and safe Halloween, and may all your dreams come true.
