If you suffer from selenophobia- fear of the moon – or triskaidekaphobia – fear of Friday the 13th - you have reasons to be unduly anxious Friday.
That’s because there will be a full moon on Friday the 13th. The last time this happened was in 2000. The next time will be 2049.
This has nothing to do with haints and hoo doo. It’s just that occasionally, three things – a full moon, a Friday night and the 13th of the month – all fall on the same day.
For it happen in June is even rarer. The last time that happened was 1918.
Some people call this a strawberry moon. If you also suffer from fragariaphobia – fear of strawberries – you are deep into it that day. Stay in bed. Draw the covers over your head. Take deep cleansing breaths. Wait until Saturday.
