Whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or simply someone who loves the magic of the night sky, these supermoons are an opportunity to connect with the cosmos like never before. But what makes 2025’s supermoons so special? When should you step outside to witness them? And how can you make the most of these extraordinary lunar events? Let’s explore.

Science Behind the Supermoon

The Supermoon, a phenomenon that occurs when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit, has always captivated humanity. In 2025, this astronomical event promises a spectacular show, offering a luminous and magnified moon that paints the night sky with silver hues. Its brilliance will be a treat for dreamers, stargazers, and romantics alike.

The Earth is not perpendicular at the center of the moon’s elliptical orbit, so the distance between the Earth and the moon differs. When the moon is very close to the Earth, it’s called Lunar perigee; when it is very far from Earth, it’s called apogee. The supermoon is observed if this lunar perigee occurs close to the full moon. One strict rule of a supermoon is that the moon must be at least 10% of its closest distance at the moment of full moon. Generally, during a supermoon, the moon is up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than the moon when it is at the farthest distance.

Astrological Insights: The Supermoon and the Soul

The supermoon holds a significant place in astrology and is believed to amplify emotions, intuition, and connection with the universe. It’s a time when the gravitational pull of the moon aligns with human energies, inviting self-reflection and renewal. All New Moons, and especially the Supermoon, are the period to make a wish and manifest your dream in life. The supermoons can charge the particles of astrological signs in the cosmic path. Astrologers suggest this period is ideal for setting intentions and embracing personal transformations.
