In German the word for moon is masculine: der Mond. The word for sun is feminine: die Sonne.
The word for son is also masculine: der Sohn. The word for father is masculine: der Vater.
Strangely, the word for girl is neuter: das Maedchen. Go figure!

I almost went with that actually cause the woman is usually the one that’s blinded by love but it just didn’t feel right in this story……………..
He never knew how she felt. He was so overwhelmed with love for her that he couldn’t see past that so he never knew. He was just happy being able to love her.

Wow, that's interesting. I always thought of the moon as feminine and the sun as masculine….that's a sad story…how did the sun feel about the moon?

Or…………………….
In Ancient times…………..The sun and the moon worked side by side every day. The sun would give just enough light for people not to get cold and the moon would provide just enough shade so that it wouldn’t get too hot.
The moon always admired the sun and fell in love with her, always staring at her in all her beauty. He would be lost in admiration for her that he would even forget to provide shade.
As years went by his love for her deepened. He longed to be as bright and as beautiful as she. Being awed by her beauty he no longer wanted to provide shade and wanted people to rejoice in her beauty all day as he did.
The God’s saw this as a problem. If no shade was to be provided then there would be no balance. They pleaded with the moon to continue in it’s tradition but the moon blinded by love could not agree to such a thing! He could not comprehend how anyone would not want to stare at the Sun all day as he did.
And so the God’s were forced to intervene. They declared that the moon is no longer allowed to be next to the sun since he was unable to perform his duties. They were ordered to always stay on opposite sides. The moon hasn’t been the same since. Every time the moon thinks about the sun and how much he loves her still, there is a blue moon in our skies.

Blue moon is the time of the month where the fairies come out from hiding. Seeing as most fairies are glittery and blue the moon gets its Blue color from the reflection of all the fairies flying around in the night sky. J

According to wikipedia….A blue moon is a full moon that is not timed to the regular monthly pattern.
I'd prefer a more mystical and magical definition if someone can make one up right now...

Eh, it happens. It could be the blue moon we're supposed to have tonight, not that I actually know what a blue moon is, but it sounds powerful and mysterious.
