Hey everyone! 
Last night I looked up and saw the almost Full Worm Moon of March, and noticed a beautiful halo around the moon. This got me curious about what it means, so I’m diving into it:
I found out that there are old beliefs and weather sayings about rings around the moon and halos like this. People used to say they can predict bad weather or snow.
Weather Magick and Lunar Folklore 
In the old times, people would look at the moon and its halo as a sign from the sky about the weather.
For example, if you see a circle around the moon, it might mean that bad weather or snow is coming soon. When the moon is bright and clear, it often means that frost will follow.
From The Classical Weekly, 1928
These signs were part of the wisdom passed down through generations. They would say that a ring around the moon with a star inside means good weather is on the way. But if there are many stars inside the halo, it might rain for each star you can count. A halo can also mean rain will start soon, and the number of stars can even tell how many rainy days to expect.
“Clear Moon — frost soon” from Moon Sign Book, 1996
The Moon Dog
The term “moon dog” comes from a rather charming visual; these spots can look like two faithful dogs following the moon across the sky. How’s that for celestial companionship?
Moon dogs are two bright lights that can show up on both sides of the moon. They happen because of ice crystals, just like moon halos, but these crystals make bright spots instead of a ring.
Spiritual Meaning of a Halo Around the Moon (personal interpretation)
When I saw that really bright moon halo, I felt peaceful and connected, as if the universe was giving me a big hug, telling me everything is going as it should. Moments like this, when we notice the magic in the world, make us stop and think. They show us we’re part of something amazing and mysterious.
Spiritually, it’s a special sign. In history, halos have shown us something divine, like Ra, the Sun God, or Nyx, the Goddess of Night. Seeing a lunar halo is like getting a glimpse into the sacred, a moment of deep understanding.

Looking at the moon’s halo reminds us we’re protected, enlightened, and connected to something bigger than ourselves. It tells us there’s a huge universe out there, taking care of us and leading us forward.
What about you? Have you had any profound experiences under a lunar halo or spotted some moon dogs lately? Share your stories and interpretations—I’d love to hear them!
Blessed be and Happy Full Moon 
I’d forgotten they were called that and the corresponding phenomenon
