The May 2022 Red Moon (or Blood Moon, total lunar eclipse, or even Flower Moon, whatever you prefer) will be taking place in the fixed water sign of Scorpio, meaning that this super-charged full moon is all about releasing an obsession with power and emotional control - something that this sign tends to struggle with. The next time you’ll get to see the moon take on a reddish hue is on May 16, 12:14 am ET, when the very first lunar eclipse of the year will illuminate the night sky. Similarly to the Red Moon in Turning Red, the upcoming total lunar eclipse will also be in May. The next time we’ll be able to witness a Red Moon will be a total lunar eclipse, so the entire surface of the sun will be covered by the Earth. But during a lunar eclipse, it takes on the light from the Earth’s atmosphere, causing it to seemingly turn a shade of red, which is where the term “Blood Moon” derives from. Since the moon has no light of its own, it relies heavily on the sun’s rays to fill it up. When this happens, the Earth essentially moves in between the sun and the moon, preventing the light from the sun from reaching la luna, causing either a partial or a total lunar eclipse. Red Moons, also known as Blood Moons or lunar eclipses, are very powerful lunations that take place roughly four times a year, occurring when the sun’s light is *eclipsed* in some way.

Here’s everything you need to know about the next Red Moon, including why it’s called a Red Moon and when you can expect to see it: And while it won’t be quite as special as it was in the family film - unless you know someone who’s trying to rid themselves of a centuries-old somewhat-blessing/somewhat-curse - it will certainly be something to look forward to if you’re a fan of the cosmos. Though the Red Moon in Turning Red happened on the night of (you know, the same night as 4*Town’s big concert), it’s happening slightly earlier in the month this year a whole week-plus, to be more accurate. Though I, for one, am personally interested in when the next Red Moon is in 2022, since that’s the only night Mei Mei would’ve been able to “cure” herself of her now-iconic - and, apparently, genetic - red panda transformation. In the month since Disney and Pixar’s Turning Red premiered on Disney+, fans haven’t been able to get enough of the music (written by award-winning sibling duo Billie Eilish and FINNEAS), the captivating quotes about friendship, or the heartwarming story about mother-daughter relationships. The phrase “turning red” just took on a whole new meaning.
