On the night of December 3-4, the only supermoon of this year occurred. How does this phenomenon affect people? The rector of the Russian Astrological School, Mikhail Borodachev, answered this question in the MIR 24 studio.
Mikhail Nikolaevich, hello. First, can you tell us what kind of phenomenon this is – a supermoon?
– This is a normal phenomenon in space, a natural process. The Moon has an elliptical orbit, and we see a disk of different sizes - it sometimes increases and sometimes decreases. That’s when the Moon comes closest to the Earth – the disk is large. Psychologically it affects people. Sleepwalkers or those prone to schizophrenia react greatly to this. They may have some kind of visions, absent-mindedness. And for a normal person these are difficult days, because gravity takes an anomalous form. The gravitational component increases by an average of 14%. Blood and other body fluids react to all this. The seas ebb and flow...
So now should be the highest tide?
- Yes, the tallest. After autumn, the water left the shores of some oceans, but came to other places. That is, the global movement of water mass on planet Earth. In Brazil, beaches have moved away from the coast, exposing the seabed. The water element reacts strongly to the Moon's approach to the Earth. Well, the person, too, actually.How often do supermoons occur?
– Large supermoons occur approximately once every 40 years. Small and medium - much more often. The next one, slightly less powerful than the current one, will be in early January - January 2, 2018.
That is, last night we could observe that same global supermoon that occurs once every 40 years?
– It is a little smaller than the previous supermoon, but, nevertheless, it is also very powerful. The following full moons will decrease in power throughout the year. Now we are experiencing maximum psychological stress, a shake-up. Hence, people have absent-mindedness and an illusory idea of events in the world. It seems that now I will do something and there will be a result, but in reality it is unlikely to work out. Therefore, you should not be deluded by firm statements, yours or your partners’ – everything can change very quickly.
How can you protect yourself from this influence?
– It is impossible to protect yourself from this. You can simply choose the optimal behavior during this period. Not making conceptual statements, once and for all – this is on shaky ground right now. There is no need to defend yourself - you need to use the extra energy of the supermoon creatively. After all, this phenomenon gives +15% energy compared to normal time. Excess energy crushes a person. We are unable to digest two lunches in a row. Hence – relaxation, overload of the nervous system. You need to be very careful while driving and in relationships with loved ones, so as not to spoil these relationships. Now, during this supermoon, there is an opposition between Mars and Uranus, and this is a tendency to conflicts, and those that will be resolved by force. There may also be hot conflicts at the international level.
That is, you need to try to reduce your activity to zero and understand yourself. You can still formulate some new ideas...
– It’s not just possible, but necessary. Additional energy requires an outlet, and you need to find some ways for self-realization. Get creative, paint pictures in the evenings after work. Or go in for sports, because physical activity burns out stress hormones that actively affect our psyche - cortisone, adrenaline.
But surely the supermoon has other positive aspects?
- Yes. During a supermoon, you can outdo yourself. The usual worldview to which we are accustomed is subject to stress at this time. You can either fall into some kind of depressive state, or vice versa - steer into a superconscious state. Suddenly, insights appear in a person, intuition awakens - I want to go there, I go, and there is some kind of reward there. Or I don’t want something, I can’t explain it - and saved myself from an accident.
Some astrologers believe that the approach of a planet to a satellite can lead to natural disasters. Do you agree with this?
“It’s completely real, and it’s present.” Tectonic movements of the lithospheric plates of the earth's crust are associated with the influence of gravity. The force of gravity either increases or decreases as the Earth moves closer to other bodies in the solar system and then moves away. This is what makes the earth’s crust “breathe.” Earthquakes are possible, volcanic activity may increase, because liquid magma is also influenced by the excess energy of the supermoon. Earthquakes, large or small, depend on the tension of the lithospheric plates.
How long will the effects of the supermoon last?
Until the next new moon, that is, for two weeks, the theme of the supermoon will haunt us. There may be dizziness, apathy, or vice versa – increased activity. It depends on how the supermoon card is combined with the natal chart or horoscope of the person personally. Some are uplifted, others are depressed. It's very individual. It's the same in nature. If there is a natural mechanism that compensates for these phenomena, then everything goes smoothly. The excess energy background will continue for two weeks, but it will also work during the new moon, because the Moon is either on the side of the Sun or on the side opposite to the Sun. Now the Sun and Moon are on both sides of the Earth. And the new moon is when the gravity of the Sun and Moon come together, and we will have to experience some tension again. It will affect to a greater extent the mental sphere, but also natural phenomena.
A supermoon is the moment when the full Moon is as close as possible to perigee (the point of our satellite's orbit closest to Earth). At the same time, it seems that the Earth’s satellite shines 30% brighter, and its diameter is 14% larger. unique in that it coincides with a total eclipse of the Moon. The color range of this phenomenon is determined by the upper layers of the atmosphere, through which the light falling on the Moon passes. Depending on the composition and state of the atmosphere, the Earth's satellite will acquire a reddish or brownish tint.
“On January 31 at 15:51 Moscow time, the Moon will be completely immersed in the earth’s shadow - at this time a total eclipse will begin. Depending on the state of the atmosphere and some other factors, the darkening of the lunar disk during a total eclipse may differ from other total lunar eclipses. It can be very dark, when the Moon is practically invisible in the night sky, or it can be light, when the Moon is clearly visible even at full phase,” the Moscow Planetarium said in a statement.
Astronomers predict that at 16:29 Moscow time the Moon will turn blood red and will be near the center of the Earth's shadow. At this point, the maximum phase of the total eclipse will occur, which will last approximately 77 minutes. Then the Moon will begin to gradually emerge from the Earth's shadow. In this case, the phases of the Moon will very quickly replace each other until the Earth’s satellite opens completely. This will happen at 7 pm.
It is noteworthy that this will be the second supermoon since the beginning of the year: . And the combination of three phenomena at once - eclipses, supermoons and full moons - was last observed more than 150 years ago, in 1866.
Red Moon
It will be possible to observe an unusual phenomenon throughout almost the entire territory of Russia, scientists promise. But the full phase of the eclipse will be best visible to residents of the Urals, Siberia and the Far East.
“Total lunar eclipses occur once a year on average. Consequently, this coincides with a supermoon once every 20-30 years. This phenomenon will be best seen east of the Urals - from 17 to 20 hours. In the European part of Russia, the Moon will already rise in the total eclipse phase. This means that it is best to start observing immediately at sunset - at this moment the red moon will rise,” explained astrophysicist Stanislav Korotky, scientific director of the Ka-Dar observatory, in a conversation with RT.
As reported on the website of the Moscow Planetarium, in the capital the reddish-brown Supermoon will appear above the horizon after 17:00. After this, for about an hour you will be able to observe how the reddish tint gradually disappears from the moon’s disk - provided that the sky is cloudless, of course.
However, you shouldn’t expect any particularly striking visual effects, experts say.
“There will be nothing unique. The term “Supermoon” was coined by an astrologer who believes that the Moon, at its closest approach to the Earth, somehow influences nature. But that's not true. In reality, changes in the size of the Moon cannot be noticed by eye. If the weather is good, we will be able to observe a regular lunar eclipse,” Igor Lisov, editor-in-chief of the Popular Astronomy magazine, told RT.
For those who, due to bad weather, will not be able to see the lunar eclipse, the Virtual Telescope Project will organize a broadcast of this phenomenon.
However, the Supermoon eclipse is not just a pretty picture. According to NASA experts, the eclipse will allow scientists to see what happens when the surface of the Earth's satellite quickly cools.
“You can take a new look at the moon's landscape if you observe it during an eclipse using a thermal imaging camera that will detect infrared radiation from the surface of the satellite,” The Guardian quotes Paul Hayne, a specialist in the Laboratory of Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado at Boulder. “In this case, normally invisible areas around some craters begin to glow because the rocks around them are still warm.”
The next time earthlings will be able to observe a total eclipse of the Moon is July 27, 2018. It will last a record 103 minutes. All Russians will be able to see it, except residents of northern latitudes.

What is a Supermoon (Supermoon)?
Supermoon (SuperMoon) - New Moon (or Full Moon) during which the Moon is near perigee (the point of the lunar orbit closest to the Earth).Supermoon(in original SuperMoon) is an astrological, not an astronomical term, and a very modern one at that. It was first used by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979.
Another, more informative name for this phenomenon is perigee-syzygy (perigee-syzygy) systems Earth – Moon – Sun. Syzygy is the astronomical name for the phenomenon in which the centers of the Earth, Moon and Sun are on the same line. It is at these moments (depending on the relative position of the celestial bodies) that New Moons or Full Moons occur.
It is worth noting that the presence of the Moon at the moment of syzygy (Full Moon or New Moon) precisely at the perigee point (the point of its orbit closest to the Earth) is a unique event. When the Moon moves around the Earth in its elliptical orbit, as a rule, both events (syzygy and perigee) are separated by a certain period of time. For example, on the Supermoon on May 6, 2012, it is only two minutes, and on the Supermoon on June 23, 2013, it is 23 minutes.
Supermoons are those New and Full Moons during which the Moon is close to its perigee point. Richard Nolle, when formulating the definition of a Supermoon, chose a parameter equal to 90% as the proximity of syzygy to perigee.
Supermoon divided into two categories: However .
It is intuitively clear that the brightest and largest full Moon can be observed precisely during Supermoons, or rather during SuperFull Moons. The full Moon during a Supermoon is almost 30% brighter than the full Moon near apogee (the most distant point of the lunar orbit), and its apparent size is almost 15% larger.
It is worth noting that the Super Moon is an event associated not only with the Full Moon (a phenomenon widely covered in the news media), but also with the New Moon, when the disk of the Moon is invisible from the Earth, and accordingly, information about the upcoming Super New Moons in the press, as a rule, is not discussed .
The logic behind the appearance of the term "SuperMoon" quite obvious.
The Moon exerts its extremes of influence on the nature of the Earth and humans when it is in the New Moon and Full Moon phases. At the same time, it is natural to assume that the closer the Moon is to the Earth, the stronger its influence. Thus, it turns out that during Supermoons the influence of the Moon is maximum.
Everyone knows that the ebb and flow of tides on Earth occur due to the influence of the gravitational attraction of the Moon and the Sun. Moreover, the highest tides occur when the Earth, Sun and Moon are on the same line, that is, during Full and New Moons. In addition, as the distance between objects decreases, the force of gravitational attraction increases. That is, at the perigee points the gravitational force of the Earth and the Moon is maximum.
Accordingly, it is logical to assume that during Supermoons the likelihood of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and floods should increase. Astrologer Nolle (who coined the term Supermoon) believed that during Supermoons, the Moon causes “geophysical stress” on Earth.
With a further increase in the parameter of proximity of perigee and syzygy, for example, up to 24 hours, several Full Moons and New Moons per year will be considered a Super Moon. However, the observed effect of increasing the size and brightness of the Moon will not be the same for all such Super Full Moons.
It should be noted once again that the Super Full Moons of 2012, 2013 and 2014 occur on Full Moons that are very close to their respective perigees.
On May 6, 2012, the Full Moon occurred just two minutes after passing the perigee point.
On June 23, 2013, the Full Moon occurred 23 minutes after the Moon passed the perigee point.
On August 10, 2014, the Full Moon will occur 26 minutes after the Moon passes the perigee point.
The next time such proximity of the Full Moon and perigee will be observed only on November 26, 2034.

This will be the New Moon
On January 30, the first Supermoon of 2018 will take place. It is also noteworthy because it coincides with a total lunar eclipse. Astronomers promise an extraordinary spectacle on Tuesday evening, unless the weather covers the sky with clouds and allows them to be enjoyed.
Supermoon January 30, 2018: when, what time
On Tuesday, our planet's natural satellite will approach its minimum distance, and on Wednesday expect a Supermoon. “On January 30, the Moon will approach the Earth at 12:55 Moscow time at 358,994 km, and on January 31 at 18:28 Moscow time there will be a full moon and a total eclipse of the Moon,” the Moscow Planetarium informed.
Astronomers said that in the Russian capital, the Supermoon will be visible above the horizon after five o'clock in the evening (17.00), when it begins to rise from the Earth's shadow. Over the next hour, astronomical observers will be able to watch as the blood moon begins to gradually lose its reddish hue. A supermoon is an astronomical phenomenon when the Moon approaches the Earth at a distance of less than 362 thousand kilometers. In January it also coincides with a total lunar eclipse.
Bloody Supermoon
Lunar eclipses occur at moments of the full moon, when three celestial bodies - the Sun, Moon, and Earth - are located on the same line. During lunar eclipses, the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon. Lunar eclipses, depending on whether the earth's shadow covers the entire lunar disk or only part of it, are total and partial.
A Supermoon is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs when a full moon or new moon coincides with the moment of the closest approach of the Moon and the Earth.
The brightest red hue, during a Supermoon, is created due to the fact that the celestial body is in the shadow of the planet, and only part of the light falls on its surface.
Internet resources are already full of reports that the Super Blood Moon, coinciding with a lunar eclipse, was last observed about 150 years ago, and the next one, according to scientists, is expected in 10 years.
Professor of astronomy at Ilia University Georgiy Ramishvili told Sputnik Georgia that the upcoming Supermoon is not the brightest - according to statistics, it is in 14th place among those that were and will be from 2016 to 2020 inclusive.
“This Supermoon is not the strongest in its brightness, but the fact that it coincides with a total lunar eclipse is a rather rare occurrence. Such a phenomenon will happen in a year, which will be much brighter,” Ramishvili said.
According to him, such statements are typical of those who are prone to advertising - they immediately advertise the expected phenomena, and then it turns out that brighter events are coming.
“I can compare this fact with the onset of the third millennium, when 99% of the media claimed that it began in 2000. We declared that this was a bluff, that this was due to advertising in order to sell the product profitably. And already from January 2-3, everyone began to declare that the third millennium will come in a year,” Ramishvili said.
author Denis Gulyaev vk.com/hedgehog_vdv Not so long ago, about 100 years ago, people believed that the Blood Moon was a harbinger of famine, wars and various natural disasters.
Today, astrologers believe that a lunar eclipse has both negative and positive effects on people. In particular, at this time you can make a wish that will definitely come true.
A lunar eclipse is a favorable time to get rid of bad habits. During the eclipse, you can get rid of smoking, alcohol or gaming addiction, otherwise it will be difficult to do this in the coming year.
On the day of the Blood Moon, astrologers do not advise driving a car, making large purchases, visiting large crowds of people, going on long journeys and abusing alcohol.
According to astrologers, people begin to feel the influence of the blood moon three days before the eclipse and three more days after it. Astrologers advise showing calm and prudence during this period. Sensitive people may experience emotional instability, irritability, and attacks of unmotivated aggression.
The next total lunar eclipse, but without the accompanying Supermoon, will be observed by earthlings in the summer - July 27.
Supermoon January 31, 2018 - signs, influence on humans
During the lunar supermoon of the blue moon, all the magical rituals of the full moon will be especially strong, as well as all kinds of fortune telling, fortune telling for love, fortune telling for love and family relationships. Because at this moment a corridor of eclipses opens, which connects with a person for 18.5 years everything that was started or done during this corridor of eclipses. That is, if a wedding occurs at this moment, then the relationship will be fixed for 18.5 years, even if in the future the spouses want to end the marriage and get a divorce. During the period of the eclipse corridor, you need to be careful about all contracts, because it will be very difficult to get rid of them and break them - all stellar and planetary energies will cement and hold together everything that happens during the period of the eclipse corridor. Therefore, all love fortune-telling, which is also programming of fate, will help strengthen love ties.
During the eclipse, a person becomes the most emotionally receptive, unstable in his internal experiences, feelings, fears and worries. At this time of fine tuning to your psyche and the unconscious part of your “I,” deep internal programs of psychology and behavior are activated. And also the impact and result of any external influence, as well as self-hypnosis and self-programming, increases.
At the moments of lunar eclipses, a person receives from nature the opportunity to get rid of something unnecessary that breaks life and psyche, bad qualities of character, bad habits, to reprogram himself and his destructive sides of character and ways of interacting with the outside world to others, positive emotions and reactions.
To do this, you need to make a little effort: think and understand what you want to remove from your life - events, people, emotions, habits, psychological attitudes, programs and stereotypes of behavior and thinking.
Events occurring a week before the eclipse are completely karmic, because... they cannot be planned and have no control over themselves. During an eclipse, important information comes to us that we did not attach any importance to before. Based on this, all important decisions should be made in the week after the eclipse.
During a lunar eclipse, those deeds, plans and desires that are started at this time will appear during the next lunar eclipse and determine the next stage of life. This can be a time of important choices and life-changing decisions.
A lunar eclipse shows and illuminates with the light of heavenly bodies those important issues and problems that require an urgent and balanced deep solution, which have already become ripe in a crisis. Therefore, during a lunar eclipse, everything can change quickly and dramatically. A lunar eclipse reveals information that may have remained secret and closed for a long time, and such information instantly spreads throughout society. During a lunar eclipse, there is a chance to find what you have been looking for for a long time - information, a person or yourself.
A lunar eclipse gives impetus to the development of long-term projects and tasks, writes the C-ib website. You should beware of high emotional intensity, so it is not recommended to make decisions or enter into conflicts - what is destroyed during the eclipse can hardly be restored.
During a lunar eclipse, it is good to meditate on the spiritual, on what you want to attract into your life.
During eclipses, all events are fatal in nature and have a great impact. All events that occur during eclipses are not accidental. During eclipses, great temptations come to people, which have a direct impact on the future, fate and a happy life. During eclipses, qualities such as greed and ambition intensify. At this time, to purify your destiny, you need to give, help people, show charity and kindness.
To neutralize the destructive effects of eclipses, cleansing procedures are necessary. The best are fasting and prayer. You should follow a vegetarian diet. Daily ablutions are required, preferably with any cleansing prayer.
Zero days before an eclipse are the time for completing affairs and summing up, spiritual and physical cleansing of a person before entering the new year. It is good to devote these days to internal introspection, revision of life values and rethinking, repentance, using any technique - from confession in church to internal recapitulation of your life.
Rituals:
Ritual for beauty
Pour boiled water into a glass and throw in some salt with your left hand. Place the glass on the windowsill under the moonlight and read the full moon spell until the salt dissolves:
“Moonwater, like a girl’s tear, may I be young, white-faced, carefree, may the one I love love me, for my beauty, for my complaisance!” When the salt has dissolved, leave the glass on the windowsill until the morning. In the morning, after washing your face, on an empty stomach, take a sip of the enchanted water, mentally saying: “Water - into me, beauty - onto me!” Repeat these steps every morning until the water in the glass runs out.
Full moon ritual to attract money and prosperity
On a full moon, you need to go outside, to the balcony or go to the window, stand under the moonlight and show the moon your open wallet with money. In this case you need to say the words:
“Money to money, I don’t save, I multiply, I protect myself from debts and waste. Just as you, the moon, are full in the sky, so let my treasury be full.”
After this, put the largest banknote in an empty compartment of your wallet; it cannot be spent until the next full moon. This money will act as a money talisman, it will open up new cash flows for you and preserve your existing wealth.
Lunar eclipse, Supermoon, Blue Moon January 31, 2018: what is unique about these phenomena, what is not allowed and what can be done on such a day. January 31, 2018 is a truly unique day in the lunar calendar. On this day, three quite rare phenomena will occur at once - a Lunar Eclipse, a Super Moon, and a Blue Moon.
Lunar eclipse, Supermoon, Blue Moon January 31, 2018: what is unique about these phenomena. Each of these phenomena does not happen often and is therefore considered unusual. And the fact that in January 2018 they will happen on the same day is simply unique.
It is extremely rare for a full moon to occur twice in one month. This is exactly what will happen in January 2018. January 31, 2018 will be the third full moon for the current month. This phenomenon is called .
Supermoon- this is the moment when the full Moon, even when observed with the naked eye, appears many times larger and brighter than usual. This is exactly what will happen on January 31, 2018. This is due to the fact that on this day the distance between the Earth and the Moon will be much shorter than usual.
Of course, the fact that three energetically powerful phenomena will occur on the same day cannot but leave its mark. Therefore, in addition to the advantages of an incredible spectacle in the night sky, experts warn about the dangers of this day. On this day, the Earth may fall, which will bring malaise, headaches and insomnia.
Lunar eclipse, Supermoon, Blue Moon January 31, 2018: what you can’t do and what you can do on such a day. On this day you can and should take care of yourself and your health, strengthen your immune system. You definitely need proper rest and sleep, proper nutrition, moderate physical activity, and walks in the fresh air. It is better to refuse heavy training on such a difficult day. There is no need to borrow money on January 31, 2018, especially if we are talking about a large amount. It is also better not to make large purchases. It is also better to choose another day to visit the beauty salon.
