Ok, I got one for you. I have found different meanings for "Blue Moons". The most widely used and accepted is where it is the 2nd full moon in one calendar month. The second was from a book that stated a "Blue Moon" is the moon period falling between Oct. 31st and Nov. 2nd, the "time without a time" period. Then there is the view I cotton to that states it is the 2nd full moon within an Astrological sign. What are everyone else's views and why?

Blessings, Luise

A "Blue Moon" is the 2nd Full Moon in any given Calendar month. I also state this as someone who has heard this phrase since I was "Knee High to a Grasshopper." Now, just in case you haven't heard this Phrase, a "Black Moon is the 2nd New (or Dark) Moon in any given calendar month. Just a Tidbit of Info.
