The Moon's not in Pisces,
but it is at perigee
(and it'll soon be eclipsed).


Note that this was written around 23:00 in Korea, just a few hours before the eclipse -- which will only be a shadow-grazing affair. The photo above, taken an hour ago, bears some Photoshop effects.

Tonight's Full Moon in Aquarius is also a Moon at perigee, the closest distance to Earth during the year. The Moon is about 50,000km closer than usual right now, and it looks, oh, I'm just guessing, 10 percent larger.

This Moon at perigee is also going to be partially (and I mean partially) eclipsed. The Earth's umbral shadow will glide along the upper arc of the Moon for more than an hour, with the maximum obscuration taking place at 18:52 UT Sept. 7 (2:52 p.m. EDT; 3:52 a.m., Sept. 8, Korean Standard).


All I'm going to do is put my crystals in the moonlight so that they can be cleared and recharged, and then it's off to bed (next stop: the astral plane).
