It offers a chance to enjoy a truly spectacular view of the moon in the night sky, but more importantly, are the very real psychological and spiritual effects which will transpire.
This powerful phenomenon could cause our emotions to go into overdrive จC as a result inviting introspection and transformation, offering a unique opportunity for growth and enlightenment.
The full moon becomes a Supermoon when it is at its closest proximity to Earth (its perigee), around 360,000 kilometres away, and as a result it appears bigger and brighter than usual.
Full moons, but especially Supermoons, have a way of drawing things out of us, and the psychological and spiritual effects of the Supermoon will be stronger for both humans and animals.
Headaches or migraines may be an unwanted side effect, so cut back on thinking too much.
Set an intention and follow through on it ... draw out your intuitive powers and let go of what is not serving you.

This Supermoon, known as the Harvest Supermoon, traditionally signals the time when farmers reap the rewards of their crops and prepare for the coming changes of the season.
Adding to the celestial spectacle, the Partial Lunar Eclipse will cast a subtle shadow across the moon's surface, deepening its impact on our emotional and spiritual realms.
The eclipse, occurring in Pisces, enhances this full moon's energies, guiding us through a period of reflection and transformation. Can you feel the change already?
The moon's spiritual effects will be felt by everyone to some extent but because Pisces is a Mutable Water sign this sign, along with other Water signs Scorpio and Cancer; and Mutable signs Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius, will feel it most.
Astrological Implications:
- Emotional Clarity: Pisces, a water sign known for its intuitive and empathetic qualities, brings a heightened sense of emotional awareness. This Supermoon and eclipse offer an opportunity to dive deep into our inner world, fostering clarity and healing in areas of our lives that may have felt stagnant or unresolved.
- Creativity and Inspiration: Pisces is also associated with creativity and imagination. People may find their artistic and intuitive abilities amplified. It's an ideal time to channel these energies into creative projects, spiritual practices, or any pursuit that aligns with personal passions.
- Letting Go and Forgiveness: The energy of Pisces encourages forgiveness and the release of old patterns that no longer serve us. This is a time to let go of grudges, past hurts, and emotional baggage, allowing for renewal and personal growth.
- Connection with the Spiritual Realm: Pisces has a strong connection to the spiritual and mystical realms. This Supermoon and eclipse are likely to enhance our ability to connect with our higher selves, spiritual guides, and the universe at large, offering profound insights and guidance.

- Creative Expression: Embrace activities that allow for creative expression. Whether through art, music, or writing, use this time to channel your inspiration and insights.
- Emotional Release: Consider practices that support emotional release, such as therapy, energy healing, or rituals designed to let go of past pain and make space for new beginnings.
