The supermoon total lunar eclipse, which occurs on Sept. 27, features a full moon that looks significantly larger and brighter than usual. It will be the first supermoon eclipse since 1982, and the last until 2033, NASA officials said in a newly released video.

The total lunar eclipse will be visible to observers throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa, western Asia and the eastern Pacific Ocean region.

A partial solar eclipse will take place two weeks before this special supermoon, on Sept. 13, but the earlier event will be visible only to skywatchers in southern Africa (as well as penguins, leopard seals and the other wildlife of Antarctica).
"Supermoons" occur because the moon's orbit around Earth is elliptical rather than circular. While the moon's average distance from our planet is about 239,000 miles (384,600 kilometers), the natural satelite roams as far away as 252,000 miles (405,600 km) at "apogee" and gets as close as 226,000 miles (363,700 km) at "perigee."

A supermoon is a full moon that occurs at, or very near, perigee and appears abnormally big in the sky as a result. In fact, supermoons appear about 14 percent larger and 30 brighter than apogee full moons, which are also known as "minimoons."

Supermoon eclipses are special; they've occurred just five times since 1900 (in 1910, 1928, 1946, 1964 and 1982), NASA officials said in the new video. "Normal" lunar eclipses are much more common. In fact, an observer at any particular location around the globe can expect to see a total lunar eclipse about once every 2.5 years on average.

The supermoon eclipse will last 1 hour and 11 minutes, and will be visible to North and South America, Europe, Africa, and parts of West Asia and the eastern Pacific, according to NASA. Weather permitting, the supermoon will be visible after nightfall, and the eclipse will cast it into shadow beginning at 8:11 p.m. ET. The total eclipse starts at 10:11 p.m. ET, peaking at 10:47 p.m. ET.

A rare phenomenon, there have only been five supermoon eclipses since 1900 (in 1910, 1928, 1946, 1964 and 1982). After Sunday, the next supermoon eclipse will occur in 2033.

“We’re entering into our eclipse season again. So these energies will exert a stronger force on all of us. If you work with the energies, expect big shifts in consciousness.

“This Full Moon can certainly open the doors of our perception, bringing an influx of spiritual energies…If we’re not ready for these energies, it can bring disruptive to our collective lives.

“If we’re open, paying attention to our dreams, visions and insights for a few days around this Full Moon will help us make another shift on consciousness.

“Full Moons bring us awareness of what has been hidden from our ego consciousness. We can expand our ego’s flexibility by staying open to more subtle realms of being and awareness…”

“…the Pisces Moon is aligned with Neptune, amplifying our connection to the spiritual, quantum energies of life.

“This is a powerful channeling of psychic abilities and mystical visions, as well as illusions and fantasies.

“Virgo’s motto is ‘Know Thyself’ and that’s what will make all the difference between this energy filling us with Wisdom or inflating the ego with delusions.

“The Sun and Jupiter in earthy Virgo can help us ground these Piscean energies in a positive way. Allow your imagination to express the information you need to make positive decisions about your life.”

From MOLLY HALL from Astrology.About.com:

“This is a good one to rededicate yourself to your best choices. Invite your allies seen and unseen to guide you, to rearrange and sort the pieces into new forms…”

“Pisces is a water sign, with an emphasis on the imagination, unity with all life, spiritual longing, transcendence, mystical visions…”

“The Sun is opposite in earthy Virgo, kicking up the instinct to clean house from top to bottom…This is a heavenly time for purification, and to revive enchantment in a big, wholesome way…”

“The most naturally magic of Full Moons happens with Sun in Virgo, opposite the Moon in the sign of mystical sight, Pisces…A Full Moon this fluid IS magical, since tuning in to the serendipitous messages of nature and the elements can set off revelations.

“It’s one of culmination, as the last sign, and of reaping what’s been sown on subtle levels. A key phase I like for this Full Moon is active surrender to wholesome, healing and divine vibes.

That's almost a perfect palindrome!

This one will be on my JUNO-ALMA. (0°)

The tMOON will be conjunct his ATROPOS (1°)
tVENUS conjunct his KARMA (1°)
tNEP trine his SUN (1°); opposite my VENUS (1°)
tMARS conjunct our cVENUS-cJUPITER (0°-1°)
tJUPITER conjunct my VENUS (2°) and ASC (0°)
tURA (still) opposite my SUN (0°)
tSATURN conjunct my MARS (0°)

I really like looking at this as a positive thing, since I have also read a lot of negative things about eclipses. (And my past experiences with them have been pretty intense).

A Triangle With Wings

"A WHITE TRIANGLE IS SEEN; IT HAS GOLDEN WINGS

Triangle With WingsThis can be a time when we feel that we need to rise above the gross, the problematic, the old, the outworn. We can feel the need to ascend situations that no longer could, or should, have out involvement. We can use the power of our will to let go of the petty…. to find something transcendent to occupy ourselves with, possibly to distract ourselves, or, to find a focus that is ascended, at least in some measure.

This Symbol shows the ability to be able to lift yourself above the ordinary, using your natural gifts to find a new perspective, an uplifted view; to expand your awareness. This can picture an eagerness for spiritual integration or a capacity to escape from reality. Try to ground the vision, but allow yourself the free flight of vision. There is often a strong spiritual nature that expresses itself through purity of thought and insight.

Inspiration and zeal. Feeling elevated and inspired through spiritual or creative efforts. Flying to a greater perspective. Self transcendence. Angels and their messages.

The Caution: Not noticing your down-to-earth needs or those around you. Escapism. Forgetting about the needs and desires of the body. Losing the plot."

It's in my 8th, close to my Amor, 1 degree from my bandmate's Amor, and conj. our composite DC, Vertex and Amor. I have been releasing my attachment to him, though, so I can meet someone new. Both of us are way too 'all-or-nothing,' and it can't be 'all' right now. However, I am curious about the eclipse because we supposedly have band practice during that time. I don't know what else could feasibly happen besides us deciding to peacefully part ways, but you never know with composite Uranus on the IC. In any case, my heart is much lighter these days, and I feel new energy coming my way ~

Isn't that AMAZING, Ceri? I wonder what it means ....

I just checked the math; clear pattern of 18 years in between the 'palindrome' years -- but then the next should've been 2000 -- and then 2018.

So, I'm perplexed. Why the clear 18-year cycle, and then nothing from ... 1982 to 2015? 33 years? Or is data missing?

They might be two different cycles.

1910, 1928, 1946, 1964, and 1982 all equal to 11.
2015 and 2033 both sum up to 8.

Actually today there is a AMOR-CHIRON-MOON Transit Stellium influencing the SUPERMOON and Lunar Eclipse...talk about the power of love to heal as a theme for the lunar eclipse.

The moon was in pisces @17d according to the ephemeris for September 27 and astro.com so the moon did conjunt chiron and amor. Now the sun was at 03LI35 September 27: http://www.moontracks.com/ephemeris.html

My point is that the moon-chiron-amor stellium since it took place september 27 during a supermoon that it would influence the energy of the lunar eclipse.

Additionally, I feel much more connected to my spiritual self lately - I've been questioning the direction of my faith and religion over the past year and it is heightened in these hours right now...
