\u201cLook up in the sky\u2026\u201d Okay, you know the rest. It\u2019s not a bird or a plane, or even Superman; it\u2019s Supermoon! <\/p>\n
No, I don’t mean Larry, The Cable Guy<\/em>, in a hospital gown. This is a PG site that today stands for Perigee, a big word I\u2019m going to bandy about that will make me appear intellectually erudite, at least by those who don\u2019t know me. Rather comically, SPACE.com offers a disclaimer when it hints at the possible disasters that might possibly ensue around Saturday, March 19th, centering around the Supermoon, a name coined by astrologer Richard Nolle, who elevated this particular full moon to superhero villain status. The disclaimer states, \u201cIt should be noted that astrology is not a real science, but merely makes connections between astronomical and mystical events.\u201d <\/p>\n To this I must agree. Astrology is no real science at all. That\u2019s why Dr. Richard Tarnas, well respected in the scientific community, wrote an astrology book called Cosmos and Psyche, in which he validates astrology\u2019s accuracy and meaning. <\/p>\n And that\u2019s also why a whopper hit Japan on the exact day when Uranus, the planet of earthquakes, was moving into the sign of Aries last Friday (a monumental event that\u2019s been lectured and written about, infinitum, in the astrological community). <\/p>\n But, astrology certainly isn\u2019t REAL, not by any means, no. Did that sound bitter? Hmmm, better check my chart. Oh yes, sure enough, bitter is squaring my banter today. <\/p>\n Getting back to the only science that matters, according to Seismologist, John Vidale and geophysicist, John Bellini, this Supermoon will not exert any significant pull that differs from any other moon occasion, despite the fact that land tides (the ebb and flow of continents caused by Moon\u2019s gravity) as well as ocean tides, are both effected by the moon\u2019s pull, and do, in fact, increase tectonic activity, according to Vidale, himself. <\/p>\n But, hey, scientists say not to worry, and as we know from many a scientist\u2019s report on our local news of late, there\u2019s absolutely nothing to fear here in the US from Japan\u2019s nuclear fallout, right? Distilling that further, there\u2019s nothing to fear but fear itself, right Patrick Henry? Well, I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019m highly allergic to fear, myself, and tend to break out in flight whenever it approaches.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026collectively as a race, we simply don\u2019t have the ethical or technological strength to be able to handle this power.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Now, let\u2019s get to the non-existent heart of the matter: astrology. According to Eric Francis\u2019 in his Planet Waves podcast, Saturday\u2019s Supermoon is no ordinary moon, just as Tyra Banks is no ordinary model. And this Supermoon, much like Tyra, strikes a fierce pose. <\/p>\n It promises high ratings in every demographic household across the board, squaring the galactic center of the lunar nodes, and Opposing Uranus, the planet of earthquakes. What that means folks, according to Eric, is a turning point for us wayward humans. The galactic center is \u201cThe Big Big Bang, the reason I\u2019m alive, when all the stars collide, in this universerse inside\u2026,\u201d to quote Rock Mafia\u2019s recent catchy hit. The Galactic center is where we were fashioned by whatever creative force you choose to associate with God\u2014or not, however your case may be. <\/p>\n Because this full moon occurs in the latter degrees of the sign, it has to do with death and transformation. In accordance, Eric feels that we are at an ethical tipping point in history that mandates, \u201cthere must be an end to nuclear bombs, in order for humanity to proceed forward. <\/p>\n He goes on to say, \u201c\u2026collectively as a race, we simply don\u2019t have the ethical or technological strength to be able to handle this power.\u201d <\/p>\n You may be wondering about now, who is going to save us from this big bad Supermoon villain? Unless Clark Kent is willing to help, I think that every man\/woman needs to step up and channel his own inner Superman. We’re going to all have to remove our rose-colored glasses, don the red cape, and save mankind from its own arrogant and self-destructive tendencies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cLook up in the sky\u2026\u201d Okay, you know the rest.

\nPerigee is what happens when the moon gives us The Full Monty <\/em>at close range. The moon hasn\u2019t flashed its pearly white visage up-close-and-personal like this in eighteen years. That’s according to SPACE.com, a site I\u2019ve liberally borrowed from, with my internet library card. Of course, I can\u2019t promise to give these facts back in the same condition I\u2019ve found them. There is another important branch of knowledge to consider here, other than astronomy and geophysics. And it\u2019s called Astrology\u2014which I\u2019ll defend without apology. Somewhere, I fear, Dr. Seuss is turning over in his Whoville grave, right about now. <\/p>\n
