🌛🌝🌜As the Beaver fortifies the dam, the Beaver Moon is the time to work on your own foundation. Clear out the clutter -physical, mental, and emotional- and gather resources to get through "the long night" ahead. This is also a good time to reset your protections. Blessed be✨💜

*The clouds are being stupid and I can't get a good picture, so if anyone has a good one, feel free to put it in the comments lol*

✨ Merry Mabon & Blessed Equinox✨
As Mother Earth begins to prepare to sleep, take a moment to take it all in. Do not fear the darkness as it gets longer, instead embrace it and it's message. When the leaves start to die and the trees let them go, let go of what is holding you back and no longer serving you. Just like in nature, after a long pause to reflect, they will be replaced with new life and new beginnings.

🌕✨ Tonight: Blood Moon Eclipse

Don’t miss it! On the night of September 7–8, 2025, the Moon will fully enter Earth’s shadow, glowing crimson in a total lunar eclipse — the longest since 2022.

🔭 How long?
• Totality lasts ~1 hour 22 minutes (82 minutes).
• Including partial phases before and after, the entire eclipse stretches to over 3 hours 30 minutes.

🌍 Where to watch?
• Best visibility: Asia, Africa, Australia.
• Also visible (partial stages): Europe, Middle East.
• Not visible: Most of North and South America will miss totality.

✨ When to look?
• Asia & Australia: Eclipse peaks near midnight local time.
• Africa & Middle East: Best seen in the late evening.
• Europe: Early morning hours before dawn.

🌌 How to watch?
No telescope needed. As the Moon darkens, stars blaze brighter, and the Milky Way unfurls in the sky. Find a dark spot, let your eyes adjust, and enjoy a once-in-years spectacle.

This Blood Moon, aligned with the Harvest Moon, has been a beacon for ancient rituals and seasonal change — tonight, it’s a cosmic reminder of Earth’s place in the grand celestial dance. 🌍✨

COLORFUL STRAWBERRY MOON: The June full "Strawberry" Moon will rise Tuesday evening across North America. This particular full Moon is going to be unique. It will be the lowest we'll witness until 2043. Put another way, the arc track it will take across the sky will be unusually low on the horizon.

This has significant implications as to what you'll see. Normally, low horizon Moons appear orange as the light passes through more atmosphere. As it rises higher in the sky, it quickly turns that typical white color we always see.

That won't quite happen with this one. The lower arc will keep an orange/reddish hue for longer. Not only that, wildfire smoke in the air will only add to that color. For many of you, this will likely be as good a time as any to be able to see/photograph the Moon tinged with color. Good luck!
