Change and the Super Blood Moon Eclipse
by Andrew Pacholyk MS, L.Ac.
Occurring Sunday September 27th in the United States and Monday September 28th, 2015 in Europe.
This “triple treat” will be a metaphysical feast to behold. The first part of this is the Supermoon. A Supermoon is defined as a new or full moon which occurs when the moon is at or near (within 90%) of its closest approach to Earth.
The second aspect of this is the Blood Moon. A blood moon is a full moon which appears coppery red during a total lunar eclipse. That is because the dispersed light from the Earth’s sunrises and sunsets falls on the face of the moon at mid-eclipse. Therefore, the term blood moon can be applied to most all total lunar eclipses. This is also the month of the Hunter Moon. In ancient lore, it is also called a Blood Moon often because it is an Autumn full moon and tends to rise soon after sunset. Because the moon rises lower in the sky at this time of year, the atmosphere between us and the moon makes it look reddish, hence Blood Moon.
This also happens to coincide with a very famous prophecy called “The Blood Moon Prophecy” This is a hypothesis proposed by some Christian ministers, such as John Hagee and Mark Biltz, which states that an ongoing tetrad (a series of four consecutive lunar eclipses—coinciding on Jewish holidays—with six full moons in between, and no intervening partial lunar eclipses) which began with the April 2014 lunar eclipse is a sign of the end times as described in the Bible in Acts 2:20 and Revelation 6:12.
This also coincides with the Lunar Moon Festival. Living my life in New York City, I was introduced to The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, as a popular lunar harvest festival celebrated by the Chinese and Vietnamese people. The celebration became popular during the early Tang Dynasty. A written collection of rituals of the Western Zhou Dynasty describes this festival from 3,000 years ago. The festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, which is in September or early October in the Gregorian calendar, close to the Autumnal equinox. The “Moon Festival” is celebrated yearly and is a time to share stories, read and write poetry and eat moon cakes.
