Scientific Explanation
A supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with the Moon's closest approach to Earth (perigee). The Moon can appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than when it's at its farthest point. This happens because the Moon's orbit is elliptical, not circular.
Astrological Meaning
Supermoons amplify the emotional and psychic energy of regular full moons. They bring heightened intuition, stronger manifestations, and more intense emotional experiences. The Moon's proximity makes her influence more palpable and powerful.
Lunar Wisdom
Supermoons are visually stunning and energetically potent. They enhance all the qualities of a full moon - illumination, completion, release - but with added intensity. Emotions run higher, dreams are more vivid, and the veil between worlds feels thinner.
