Despite its eerie associations, the blood moon doesn’t have to bring negativity. Like all eclipses in astrology, think of this moon as a time of change—ultimately, you have control over whether or not the change is positive. There are about 2 lunar eclipses every year, and about 1 in 3 of those eclipses are total lunar eclipses with the potential for a blood moon. [1] X Research source

Some people might use the term “blood moon” when the moon appears red from haze or pollution, but a true blood moon only occurs during a total lunar eclipse.
