Molly, It’s different every month. You can find moonrise and set times for every night of the year in our book.

Denise,
A Blue Moon is not actually blue in color. The story above explains that.

There is no place in our Almanac where we refer to it as a Red Moon. You must be looking at someone else’s Almanac (there are several competing publications with a similar title on the market).

If this Blue Moon is called a Red Moon in the Almanac, isn’t it actually a Purple Moon then?

It is widely believed that the moon has a relationship with fertility due to the corresponding human menstrual cycle, which averages 28 days. However, no connection between lunar rhythms and menstrual onset has been conclusively shown to exist, and the similarity in length between the two cycles is most likely coincidental.
It is sometimes claimed that surgeons used to refuse to operate on the full moon because of the increased risk of death of the patient through blood loss.In October 2009, British politician David Tredinnick asserted that during a full moon “surgeons will not operate because blood clotting is not effective and the police have to put more people on the street.”.A spokesman for the Royal College of Surgeons said they would “laugh their heads off” at the suggestion they could not operate at the full moon.
