I for one don't really pay any attention to astrology. Maybe it's just the people I've met that practice it. For the most part they have been, a little 'off-kilter' if you know what I mean.

But anyways, I don't really give it any credibility, I see it more as a hobby than a way of predicting the future.

well that would be my birthday.....i hope nothing happens.

that is cool to read about though. you may call me........

Son of the Supermoon Rising....

I tend to be a sceptic when it comes to Astrology as well.

The idea is entertaining though.

Thanks for the replys.

Interesting stuff - thanks for pointing it out.

Considering how important the Moon is to the very existence of earth - listen up!
Why not?
Who knows - a SuperMoon for some may be extremely wonderful - and for others the pits of hell.
We'll have to wait and see but I've no doubt the day will bring something incredible.

More babies are born on a full moon, and there are generally more 911 calls...although I always thought it was busier on a half moon, because most people these days only have half a brain

So I wonder what this supermoon will bring

Yes that is a fact. I thought it was a urban myth but I have both expierianced it as well as have read the facts!!

I just told my daughter that we will have to look at the full moon together on Thursday.

Have a drink on me on Thursday November the 13th 2008 as we howl at the moon.

November 13th I plan on selling all my stocks, quite simply, because Uranus compels me to.

Hmmm...

with Bin Laden (the boogeyman) giving his new warning,...

(and numerical significance of 11-13 to 9-11
'11' being the most important number to Freemasons, and '13' has in numerical meaning as well. Do Freemasons use 12 and 10? Not that I know of)

I wouldn't be surprised if something goes down Thursday.

Sounds crazy,... But I wouldn't laugh at this Super moon Astrology stuff.

I don't follow astrology in any way nor do I place stock in numerology (in fact based on my Christian beliefs both are some seriously bad mojo.) However, I will add this anecdote for whatever it's worth. I spent the last 6 weeks certain that November 13th, 2008 fell on a Friday. I even have scheduled several meetings for Friday, Nov 13th, 2008 in my emails I've sent. I only learned it was a Thursday this weekend when my wife asked me what the hell I was talking about, Friday the 13th...

That little story may not mean a damn thing, but it represents a mistake I NEVER make. I am always very accurate and anal retentive where dates/days are concerned. I found the mistake to be curious.

I don't know anything about astrology, but I do know about how the full moon affects me personally. No sleep, anxious energy, difficulty concentrating.

Thanks for posting this. S&F.

Just as a full moon causes rise in tides, it also has an effect on humans because we are comprised mostly of water.

Its been proven that full moon events have effects on people. Some good, some bad.

For the 13th, I plan to be sitting here doing what I do each day, running my web station and maybe even turning on the mic and camera to display how the full moon affects me!!

(zzzzzzzzzzzzz)

Cheers!!!!

Today is the day of the Supermoon.

This is an article from the supermoon from December of 1999.

For pagans it will be a time to avoid travel by water; for astronomers, a chance to camp out in the gardens; and for doom merchants, an opportunity to predict earthquakes in Alaska. But for most of us, December 22 could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness a so-called "super moon".

But, predictably, any natural event, especially one that hasn't happened for 133 years, brings with it portents of doom.

So, the supermoon is rare...not to rare but rare.

We will have two this year, 2008. One today and one on December the 12th!


Scientists back in 1999 did a study on the supermoon. Here is what they observed.

As all three celestial bodies are unusually close to each other, some people believe the effects of the Moon on the Earth are at their most extreme. High tides, coastal flooding, earthquakes, tremors, even erratic behaviour from animals and humans are historically - and mythologically - associated with the event.

Earlier this year, scientists in New Zealand studying the effects of a lunar perigee - when the Moon is closest to Earth - noted extreme tides around the country. The situation was made worse by bad weather, including large areas of low pressure and high winds, causing storm tides to surge around the Tasman Bay area and the Bay of Islands.

Some groups have predicted that earthquakes will occur around the time of the super moon as incredible lunar forces are exerted on the planet.

A Spanish seismologist, who claims to have predicted 80% of recent earthquakes, believes the event will lead to major earthquakes in Alaska and Hawaii. And he argues that further disastrous events could take place early in January, when the Earth is in its closest orbit to the sun.

So what took place on that date back in 1999. December 1999. (I remember the day, I was in Tulsa OK)

No major quakes on Supermoon 1999.
No major storms on Supermoon 1999.
No major events on the day of the Supermoon of december 22nd 1999.

We have had other supermoons with no pattern of anything except very high tides.

San Francisco will have a record tide today/tonight according to one article.
