"Grand Omens" are those that every cat knows well, and the general meanings of are crystal clear even when a non-medicine cat sees them. It may well take a Medicine Cat to unravel the true significance of such an omen, but everyone would know of the occurrence of one.

Clouds Over The Moon

Durring a Gathering

The "Clouds over the Gathering Moon" omen is the greatest and best known of all the omens. It holds true only during the course of a gathering, and is only in response to those actions taken at a gathering. It is the mark of StarClan having abandoned the gathering itself, refusing to tolerate the events going on there. It is an extremely severe omen and is rare. More common is the swirling of clouds at the edge of the moon, marking displeasure. Most incidents that turn StarClan from the gathering involve physical violence.

At Other Times

While clouds covering the moon when a gathering is not in session lacks the clarity of a similar sign during a gathering, this positioning of clouds is not an auspicious omen. While it may not mean StarClan is unhappy, it does mean that things are darker than they should be. Bad things are more inclined to happen, and outcomes or actions might not be of the quality one can normally expect.

Sundark

Sundarks happen when the sun is blotted out in darkness for a short time. A Sundark is considered an omen of ill and should be responded to with caution and care. While it may not indicate anything about StarClan's mood, it definitely indicates what is to come and that the future must be watched with wariness.

Moondark

Durring a Gathering

A Moondark, when the moon is blotted out in darkness, during a gathering is a very negative omen. Similar to clouds covering the moon during a gathering a Moondark indicates that StarClan is displeased with some element of the ongoing meeting and wishes to draw the most intensive attention they can to the matter. It is the ultimate way in which StarClan separates themselves from the happenings at a gathering.

At Other Times

Moondarks sometimes happen at times other than gatherings. These cases of the moon being blotted out by darkness indicate that things going on in the earthy realm are not what StarClan wishes of the cats they oversee. A Moondark is difficult to interpret because it might indicate a problem with a single cat in all the clans, or an entire clan. In accordance a Moondark forces all to carefully consider what they are doing and what others are doing.
