Libra and Virgo

– The blue color belongs to the pastel family and symbolizes spiritual height and romantic love attainable by a Libran or Virgo man or woman. It is considered a traditional color of happiness, love and peace.

It is advised that blue color should not be worn on practical occasions. Blue is the color of the mind and thus soothing for the nerves. Strong affinity with blue color helps to stimulate clear thought whereas the lighter shades of blue promote calmness of the mind and helps to increase concentration.

In Librans and Virgos, the color blue inspires “infinite perspective”. It becomes a part of the subconscious and gives the impression of friendship, affection and mental clarity.

Since blue color is more often attuned to dreams, sometimes it separates the person from reality. Therefore it makes the person border on a bit of carelessness. Due to the influence of lucky color blue, Librans and Virgos experience physical passivity. It is more of a color of thought and fantasy. It is also a distant and cold color, sometimes unemotional and unfriendly as well.

Rare Blue Moon Luck

Seeing a blue moon is extremely rare. Once in every two and a half years, there is the probability of seeing blue moon. It is mostly seen in the months with 31 days. So, if you calculate the blue moon occurrences in the 20^th century, there were only 40 such instances.

A blue moon has a history of portending luck. Superstition believes that if you plant the seeds of long term goals during a blue moon occurrence then there is big chance of the goal blossoming in future.

This is due to the belief that blue moon contains magical properties. When you plan anything and initiate it under the full glow of the second full moon of the month, it is believed that there is a kind of psychic tidal pull influencing it.

In ancient times, it was believed that if you utter spells and charms under a full moon night, it is akin to a wish being granted by a genie. But, if the spell and charm is uttered in the wrong way, it will have disastrous implications for the person.

Moreover, you are really lucky if you were born during a blue moon. Such a person really has extraordinary potential for greatness and success in life. However, one should not depend only on the ‘moon’ luck; one must understand the influence and exploit the great power to utilize its full potential.
