When the moon comes close, everything feels bigger.
A supermoon happens when a full moon (or new moon) lines up with the moon’s perigee — its closest point to Earth. It looks larger and brighter. Symbolically, it’s the moon’s usual energy turned up: whatever a full or new moon invites, a supermoon invites more strongly.
The moon’s orbit isn’t a perfect circle. Near its closest approach, a full moon can look up to ~14% bigger and ~30% brighter. That’s the astronomy — the rest is meaning we choose to give it.
If a full moon is a peak, a supermoon can feel like a bigger one. Welcome the intensity without dramatising it.
Nothing is required. If it helps: give thanks for what has come to fruition, write one thing you’re ready to release, recharge crystals in its light — and be extra gentle with your sleep.
"The moon commands nothing — it just offers a gentle rhythm to move forward, then rest. 🐑"
A supermoon is a full or new moon at the closest point of its orbit to Earth, so it looks larger and brighter — read symbolically as an amplified version of that phase.
Many treat it as a stronger full or new moon — a moment for gratitude, release or intentions. It’s a symbolic rhythm, not a rule.
Usually a few times a year, in clusters; the exact timing shifts each year with the moon’s orbit.
