Does it mean anything when there's a yellow haze around it?

When the light from the Sun or the Moon shines through the atmosphere, it illuminates particles suspended in the air and produces a number of different phenomena depending on the kind of particles that are more abundant at that moment. Some of the more common are the haze and halos around the Moon and Sun, which are produced by ice crystals in the upper atmosphere, often associated with cirrus clouds.
Perhaps the most common cause of haze is produced by water droplets in humid weather. Other kinds of particles like dust, soot or volcanic ash can produce different phenomena when the light from the Sun or the Moon shines through them.

Probably that there's poor air quality in your area. Smog or something like that.
If you're talking about the blue moon, it's not going to be blue. Sorry if you already know that, but some people have been asking, thinking it's a literal term.

I think that the haze around it just means that there is either smog or fog coming in. at least that is what i heard.

It could be any number of environmental factors, pollution, dust, smoke from fire, But enjoy it it's a blue moon won't be another one for a few hundred years.

It's not the air. I live in Arizona, and the sky's always clear here, and it looks a tad yellow too.

I actually went outside to see it myself and I can't find it. It is probably pollution.
