Are there any blue moons in 2024?
Are there any blue moons in our moon calendar 2024? Well, it depends on how we look at the definition of a blue moon. According to various sources, the next seasonal Blue Moon will take place on August 19, 2024. This refers to the astronomical season that has four full moons.
However, the astrological event of a monthly Blue Moon is on May 31, 2026. This refers to the second full moon in any calendar month.
Why is this?
What is a blue moon?
The expression “once in a blue moon” indicates that it doesn’t happen very often. Every 2 or 3 years is when we have 13 moons in one calendar year. This is because the moon completes 12 full moon cycles in roughly 354 days. And our modern Gregorian calendar, as we know, contains 365 days since that made the math easier when patriarchs created our monthly calendar. The rare event of 13 moons in one calendar year is often called a blue moon.
We can also choose to look at it the other way around: the moon has 13 cycles, which used to be an important way of keeping track of time. Our modern calendar excluded the moon’s cycles and is only based on the longer, solar cycle of the year.

Traditional definition of a blue moon
Originally, the name “blue moon” referred to the third full moon of an astronomical season containing four full moons. The astronomical seasons are ruled by the equinoxes and solstices, which makes this definition a bit tricky for most people using the modern, standard calendar.
So instead, today, we usually simplify the definition to mean the second full moon that occurs within one calendar month. It’s worth noticing though, that not everywhere over the globe we experience the same number or position of blue moons in one year, due to our different time zones.
What is the lunar symbol for 2024?
For our moon calendar 2024, many of us are curious to know of its lunar symbol. 2024 is the Year of the Dragon according to the Chinese zodiac.
In Chinese mythology, the dragon is a symbol for Strength, Courage and Good Fortune.
Also in nordic mythology we find that dragons are a big symbol of bravery and strength. These themes are what we’ll see in the moon calendar 2024, on a soul level as well as collective. Read my Energy Themes for the 2024 Moon here.
