Blood Moons in History & Mythology

Blood Moons have long been seen as omens—harbingers of change, upheaval, and transformation.

• In Ancient Civilizations: The Incas and Mesopotamians believed a Blood Moon signaled a war in the heavens, often foretelling a time of political or natural turmoil.

• In the Bible: The Book of Joel and Revelation both reference a Blood Moon as a sign of the End Times.

• In Norse Mythology: The eclipse was seen as a wolf, Sköll, chasing and devouring the Moon.

• In Chinese Tradition: A lunar eclipse was thought to mean that a celestial dragon was swallowing the Moon, and people would bang drums to scare it away.

Even today, some still see Blood Moons as astrological triggers, marking endings, revelations, and deep emotional shifts.

Astrological Significance of Blood Moons

In astrology, a Blood Moon is a total lunar eclipse that occurs in a specific zodiac sign, amplifying that sign’s energy. Eclipses are known as cosmic wildcards, bringing:

Sudden changes and turning points

Emotional revelations and hidden truths

Endings and new beginnings

Unlike regular full moons, which bring culmination and insight, a Blood Moon can feel more intense, even chaotic. It’s a time to let go, reset, and allow the universe to course-correct your path.

If a Blood Moon falls in a particular zodiac sign, expect themes related to that sign so a Blood Moon in Virgo may focus on healing and routines.
