Lunar August has come. Attended by 二百十日; 210th day from 立春=risshun, the 1st of 二十四節気. And 友引 follows; 2nd best among 六曜, yet just after the best 大安 seen yesterday, replacing 4th 赤口. By the way, a weather forecaster said 2026 Tokyo gained only 7-hour sunshine in September. That does not matter Mei-Shun’s “Clair de Lune” practice almost every day.
Thanks a million, Professor M. He kindly sent Mei-Shun above image from Egypt – saying 有明の月 seen at dawn. Photo information in the latter’s mobile phone shows 6:49, Saturday. Did he have breakfast under this purple sky? It seems quite earlier. With 7 hours behind there, it could not be our time. Or 20:25, Sunday arrival of his message matters?
Mei-Shun found clear 十三夜 yesterday, the second best shape of that celestial beauty in night sky. Solar August 2026 would expect 4 including above, 小望月or 幾望, 十五夜 and 満月; makes her look forward to see them all. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, Ibaraki Prefecture heard the 2nd serial heatstroke alert aired today. That means at least half of her wish could come true.
We would expect a 上弦 half moon tonight. Mei-Shun does as well, while wonders if it really happens looking up foggy sky. She turned to her favorite musical instrument, practiced scores composed by great Masters Debussy and Beethoven. Tsukuba horsey riding club visit was scheduled, then easily canceled by severe conditions within Ms. Scarlet. Mr. Marumorita, how are you getting along?
It rained so hard last night, that mom could not sleep well. Her “Clair de Lune” practice might not serve to call that celestial beauty these days. On the other paw of mine, she recently renewed membership in a sumo stable fan club. You can change 推し=favorite rikishi, yet her 名取 heart is always with him whose 四股名=土俵 ring name is seen above. Purr … purrr …

We expect a 下弦 half moon tonight, while a slight rainfall in the morning led a lot of clouds. Once bright sunshine came onto Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun, then gray sky shed foggy tears. Which scores would the latter choose in such a dizzying change, Ms. Piano? Her normal practice starts from “Clair de Lune” – might always call for that celestial beauty in wet weather.
We expected 十五夜, the most gorgeous moon shape last night. Thanks to a rainfall came earlier than forecast, Mei-Shun greeted a 朧月 blurred a bit by thin clouds. She featured scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven before noon, might call both of tearful windows and that celestial beauty. Solar July 2026 had the 2nd brilliant 十三夜 as well, all covered with a hard shower.
We could expect 十日夜の月= 10th moon of to-kan-ya tonight, while a rainfall. Mei-Shun wishes both of them, yet it is quite difficult – a celestial beauty among 3 shapes celebrated for a long time, or merciful water from dark sky. The latter also means Momo-chan mother and daughters enjoy shower twice. Now which scores would she choose on Ms. Piano, great masters?
Hello 玉虫, how have you been? Since our “backyard” plum was cut with many others, there has seemed no place for you anymore. However, such a return lets Shin and Mei-Shun feel really happy. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, clouds of her coat shade covered all over the sky this evening – we would miss 三日月=the 3rd crescent, favorite shape of above wife again perhaps.
Oh, clear morning sunshine. Mei-Shun might see it weeks before: 梅雨 rainy season 2026 started on June 7th, keeps so cool that reminds her of childhood. Yes, our nurturing Sun stays in the highest sky at 夏至=geshi, the 4th of summer 二十四節気. Did 織姫 and 彦星 met last night, crossing the Milky Way? At least above clouds, where we expect a 下弦 half moon tonight.
