SuperMoon

anyone else excited about the SuperMoon tonight?

[Echidna]

I've done my midsummer rites, and it's nice to have a pretty full moon on top for sure :)

[Mermaid Annariea]

yes!

[Neria]

Well, I was... but then the clouds rolled in and now it's all gray and yucky outside. I hope it clears up by tonight, or I may be missing out on the super moon :(

I've got a plate manifestation in the works tonight, I've had good results before and with the solstice energy still flowing, this moon should be pretty powerful.

though I am loving the clouds and drizzle, I'm not generally a sun and heat kind of mer

I saw the moon, and noticed it looked especially nice tonight. Didn't know about the supermoon.

So tonight (Saturday August 29) is a supermoon!

The exact event has already occurred (at 8:30 PM European time, 2:30 pm Eastern time & 11:30 am Pacific time) so tonight is the night of the Big One.

It's summertime too, at least here in the northern hemisphere. Moon swimming anyone?

[PhaylennMurúch]

woo! I got good results last year, this year is gonna be fun

Oooh, saw this on Teen Wolf and wondered if it was a real thing, with a name like "Super Moon" lol. Exciting!

Supermoons look really big, and they're very bright. I did go night swimming here last year when it was a supermoon, and it lit up the whole bottom with a bluish, beautiful light.

BTW, here is a list of the next supermoons, taken from date-and-time. Note that we're getting another supermoon next month, then we have to wait until the fall of 2016 for another one.
