Hold on to your hats, folks, and make sure there are batteries in your camera, because tonight we have not just any Full Moon but a “supermoon” in the supercharged sign of Scorpio. Actually, you might want to think about securing more than your hats because tonight some serious shit is going down.

Tonight’s Perigee Moon

Someone on Facebook quipped that with St. Patrick’s Day we’ve had quite enough lunacy this week. Perhaps, but I’m far more interested in tonight’s Full Moon. According to CNN, this will be the biggest Full Moon we’ve seen in about 20 years.

Full Moon, Eclipse and Solstice – Oh, My!

 
 

Multiple heavenly events are lining up for a rare display of synchronization tonight as a total Lunar Eclipse coincides with 2010′s Winter Solstice.

Early tomorrow morning (or late tonight if you are on the West Coast) the Full Moon will be darkened by Earth’s shadow as our planet passes between it and the Sun. December 21 is also the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, after which the days will begin to grow longer. Coupled with the Lunar spectacle, it means we’re in for an especially dark eve indeed. The eclipse will begin at 2:41 am EST; NASA recommends 3:17 a.m. EST for the optimal impression. This is the first time an Eclipse has coincided with a Solstice since December 21, 1638, and the next one won’t come around again until 2094.

Full Moon in Libra

 
 

Everyone knows that there’s something just a bit different about a Full Moon. We may not always be able to put a finger on exactly why, but we know that something is up; we look into the sky and say, yep, it’s a Full Moon. The adjective looney came from observing peculiar responses to the Moon’s effects and it is a widely held belief that there are more visits to emergency rooms during a Full Moon than at any other time. Don’t get me started on werewolves and their ilk.

If we accept that something about the energy surrounding a Full Moon has the power to affect us, then why not learn a little bit about it and use it to our advantage? Tonight for example. At 10:25 EDT the Moon will be Full in the balancing sign of Libra.

Full Moon in Virgo

 
 

Today the Moon is Full in the exacting sign of Virgo. When the Moon is in Virgo it is a good time for intellectual pursuits, more so for those requiring critical detail rather than innovative creativity. This is also a good time to take care of any matter that requires painstaking attention. People may become shy and retiring with the Moon in Virgo, but they also tend to be discriminating, fastidious and overly critical. These influences lead to concern about food and health as Virgo rules the intestines and the powers of assimilation. Many people feel the urge to clean their homes at this time, which is a good way to channel Virgo energy.
