Updated: May 4 2021, 11:18 ET WITH the first eclipse of the season and ballsy blood moon happening in May, it's fair to say this month is full on. Coinciding with the country's return to indoor socialising and drinking Aperol with our sandals on, we're excited to see what it brings. �� 2 Feeling all the feels We really need to talk about the eclipse. The first one of the year happens this month and it's lunar, total and falls under the sign of Sagittarius. Over several hours on May 26, the Moon will pass through Earth’s shadow, causing it to darken and usually become reddish in colour.
