November Supermoon: Cosmic Influence and Inner Change

By on • ( 1 Comment )

THE PEOPLE’S PRESS: On Wednesday, November 5, 2025, a special moon will rise in the sky. It will be at its closest point to Earth, appearing larger and brighter than usual.

This supermoon promises not only a beautiful sight but also an opportunity for inner change. Astrologers say the full moon heightens emotions, helps you release excess, and brings harmony into your life.

The next full moon will occur on November 5. At this moment, the Moon will be on the opposite side of the celestial sphere from the Sun, with Earth between them. In astronomy, this moment is called opposition. It has a fixed time for all points on the planet, so in some regions the Moon may be below the horizon.

Residents of the planet will be able to observe the so-called supermoon, the largest one this year. The moon will appear larger and brighter than usual and will be visually full from November 4th to 6th.

The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. In the Northern Hemisphere, it occurs in September or October, and in the Southern Hemisphere, in March or April.

The Hunter’s Moon in the Northern Hemisphere most often occurs in October, but in 2025, this title went to a November event, a rare occurrence that won’t happen again until 2028.

After the harvest, open fields made it easy to spot game, and the moon, rising just after sunset and setting at dawn, provided enough light for late-night hunting. Hence the name, the ‘Hunter’s Moon.’

The November full moon is also called the ‘Beaver Moon,’ and due to the colder weather, it is sometimes called the ‘Frost Moon.’

Other names exist in different cultures and regions: the Chinese call it the White Moon, the Celts call it the Dark Moon, and the Cherokee call it the Trade Moon.

In the Southern Hemisphere, the November full moon is called the Corn Moon, Milk Moon, Flower Moon, or Hare Moon.

A supermoon occurs when the Moon is near perigee, the closest point in its orbit to Earth. This makes the moon appear larger and brighter, making the upcoming November supermoon a spectacular astronomical event.

The term ‘supermoon’ is not an official astronomical concept. It was first coined by American astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979 in an article for Dell Horoscope magazine. He defined a supermoon as a new moon or full moon occurring at the moment of the moon’s closest or near-closest approach to Earth.

In the 2010s, the term ‘supermoon’ began to be used in popular science media, and now even NASA cites its definition, although there is still no official definition. Another supermoon will occur this year on December 4.

In astrology, the full moon is seen as a moment of natural energy surge, enhancing all of a person’s qualities on this day.

For spiritual seekers, this is a special opportunity to take a step toward understanding their higher nature and deeper inner harmony.

Astrologers believe that the energy of the full moon heightens intuition and emotional experiences, so it is especially important to be mindful of one’s thoughts and actions during this time.

During the full moon, the wave of emotions can be especially powerful, making this time considered opportune for releasing anything that hinders growth and harmony. Any cleansing practices, from salt baths to breathing techniques, will be especially effective.

During this period, it is recommended:

• complete tasks you’ve started, the full moon is favorable for summing up results, completing projects and clearing space;

• free yourself from negativity, get rid of what is in your way, be it things, old habits or emotional blocks;

  1. At Precisely 12:12 AM Eastern Time On August 28th A Stunning Blood Moon Eclipse Will Occur Over The Entire Continental United States, we had 2nd time eclipse of moon and full moon this months.. August 12 6 planets came lined up together…

    t is not often that everyone living in the entire continental United States is able to view a blood moon eclipse with their own eyes. On the night of August 27th into the early hours of August 28th, a celestial spectacle will light up the night sky as Earth’s colossal shadow rises to swallow more than 96 percent of the full moon. In a breathtaking cosmic display, the brilliant lunar surface will be plunged into darkness, bleeding into deep shades of copper, fiery orange, and blood red. While a solitary, blazing sliver of light will fight to remain untouched, escaping a technical total eclipse by a razor-thin margin of less than four percent, the agonizingly close near-total blackout will leave onlookers spellbound. Overall, the eclipse will last for a total of five hours and 38 minutes. In the United States, it will start at 9:23 PM eastern time on August 27th, and it will end at 3:01 PM eastern time on August 28th. But it will be at precisely 12:12 AM eastern time that the main event will occur. At that moment the red color of the “blood moon” will reach a peak, and throughout human history many cultures have considered a “blood moon” to be a very ominous sign.

    This is not something that happens every day.

    Time Magazine has pointed out that 44.4 percent of the entire global population will be able to see this eclipse…

    It’s not often that 3.6 billion people—or 44.4% of the world’s population—look at the same thing at the same time. And it’s not often that something comes along that’s worth the attention of all those billions. But that will happen on the evening of Aug. 27 when much of the world will be able to witness a blood moon lunar eclipse, during which 96% of the face of the full moon will fall into Earth’s shadow, glowing a deep orange-red in the process.

    Approximately a billion people in the United States, Canada and Latin America will have “prime, hours-long views” as long as the weather cooperates.

    I would encourage you to stay up for this if you are able to do so.

    A lunar eclipse unfolds in three phases, and the maximum phase for this particular eclipse will last for one hour and 39 minutes…

    There are three phases of any lunar eclipse—the penumbral, partial, and total or maximum. The penumbral phase occurs first, when the moon moves into the faint, outer reaches of the Earth’s umbra, or shadow. The partial phase comes next, when the true, darker shadow of the Earth begins to cover the lunar disk. The total or maximum phase is when only a small portion—or none at all—of the moon remains unshadowed. For the upcoming eclipse, the penumbral phase will take one hour and ten minutes, the partial phase one hour and 39 minutes, and the maximum phase, when the moon will be 96% obscured, will also take one hour and 39 minutes. That maximum shadow will occur at 12:12 a.m. ET. The eclipse will then return to the partial and penumbral phases before the moon soars on and leaves the Earth’s shadow behind.

    As the maximum phase gets very close, the moon will start to turn red.

    And once the moon is 96 percent covered by Earth’s shadow at mid-eclipse at 12:12 AM eastern time, the redness of the moon will be at peak intensity…

    As the eclipse become deeper – and approaches maximum – you should begin to notice a red glow on the moon. There are varying opinions as to when this red color might become visible. Some say by 90%. Some say 95%. The darker your sky, the better chance you’ll have of seeing the red color sooner. Since 96% of the moon will be in Earth’s shadow at mid-eclipse, you’ll hopefully see some redness by then.

    And you should see a bright white patch along the moon’s northeastern limb. That is the portion of the moon not yet submerged in the shadow. In other words, that’s the unshaded, daytime part of the moon.

    So why will the moon turn red?

    NASA has explained it in a way that I think is very easy to understand…

    A Blood Moon refers to the reddish or copper color the Moon projects during a lunar eclipse. This astronomical event occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon. In doing so, it blocks and filters sunlight on the Moon’s surface.

    “The same phenomenon that makes our sky blue and our sunsets red causes the Moon to turn reddish-orange during a lunar eclipse,” NASA reports. “Sunlight appears white, but it actually contains a rainbow of components—and different colors of light have different physical properties. Blue light scatters relatively easily as it passes through Earth’s atmosphere. Reddish light, on the other hand, travels more directly through the air.”

    “During a lunar eclipse, the Moon appears red or orange because any sunlight that’s not blocked by our planet is filtered through a thick slice of Earth’s atmosphere on its way to the lunar surface,” NASA continues. “It’s as if all the world’s sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the Moon.”

    Those living on the east coast will be able to view this eclipse from the very beginning to the very end.

    At 9:23 eastern time on August 27th the moon will start to enter the Earth’s shadow, and the eclipse will finally be over at 3:01 eastern time on August 28th…

    1. The eclipse begins when the moon enters Earth’s faint outer shadow at 9:23 p.m. EDT on Aug. 27 (0123 GMT on Aug. 28).
    2. Things get much more interesting at 10:33 p.m. EDT (0233 GMT), when the partial eclipse begins and Earth’s dark umbral shadow starts to creep across the lunar surface.
    3. Maximum eclipse occurs at 12:12 a.m. EDT (0412 GMT) on Aug. 28, when 96.2% of the moon will be immersed in Earth’s umbra.
    4. The partial phase ends at 1:51 a.m. EDT (0551 GMT), with the penumbral eclipse concluding at 3:01 a.m. EDT (0701 GMT).

    This eclipse has sparked a frenzy of speculation on social media.

    Many are wondering what it might mean, and even mainstream news sources are bringing up Bible verses in relation to this event…

    Several passages in the Bible describe the moon turning red, signaling a major event or God’s intervention.

    Key references include Joel 2:31, Acts 2:20, which echoes the same imagery, and Revelation 6:12, which describes the moon becoming like blood during apocalyptic events.

    Believers often interpret these verses as signs that a blood moon could herald a time of upheaval, judgment for the wicked, or salvation for the faithful, giving the August eclipse a heightened sense of spiritual significance.

    This is going to be the final lunar eclipse of 2026.

    But there will be several notable eclipses in 2027, and in 2028 a total lunar eclipse will actually occur on New Year’s Eve…

    This week’s lunar eclipse follows a total lunar eclipse in March and will be the second and last of the year. But if you miss it, more celestial events are coming in 2027.

    Two solar eclipses will take place next year—one on February 6 and the other on August 2. But you might want to make this lunar eclipse count: three lunar eclipses in 2027 will be “penumbral”—meaning the moon will pass through Earth’s penumbra, the fainter part of its shadow, which won’t make quite as spectacular a view. The next total lunar eclipse will take place on New Year’s Eve in 2028—what a way to ring in 2029!

    I did not know about that there will be a total lunar eclipse on New Year’s Eve in 2028.

    Every day I am learning something new, and that is a good thing because if you are not learning you are not growing.

    Personally, I am going to make it a point to check out the blood moon eclipse that will happen later this week.

    It should be spectacular indeed.
