A SuperMoon is an extreme New or Full Moon. It's extreme because the Moon is so much nearer to the Earth than usual. The Moon is at both perigee (closest to the Earth) and syzygy (in line with the Sun and Earth). SuperMoons greatly intensify the gravitational pull on the Earth by the Sun and Moon, generating more extreme pressure, increasing earthquake activity, volcanic eruptions, extraordinary tidal activity, and sever weather systems. If the Moon is Full, a SuperMoon appears about one-sixteenth larger than an ordinary Full Moon.

The intensification of the energies have about a 6 day window, starting 3 days prior and ending 3 days after as a general rule. SuperMoons usually happen about as often as eclipses (four or five times a year). There is significant data to suggest that much of large natural disastrous activity occurs during the Supermoon window. Not all of course.

Prediction for February 28, 2010 SuperMoon

The February 28, 2010 SuperMoon points to another newsworthy upsurge in moderate-to-severe seismic activity, plus strong storms with damaging winds and heavy precipitation; along with extreme high tides. In effect, from February 25 through March 3, and happening within sixteen hours of the Moon's southward crossing of the celestial equator. It's global in scope by definition, but astro-locality mapping suggests a few special vulnerabilities for the February 28 SuperMoon alignment. These include longitudinal risk zones running from Hong Kong down through Perth in the Eastern hemisphere, and from Newfoundland down through west-central South America in the western hemisphere. There's also a Mars horizon arc of note, along the eastern coast of Australia from Brisbane to Melbourne; as well as a longitudinal Mars zone pretty much centered on Delhi. With the Sun conjunct Jupiter at the time of this SuperMoon, the Sun-Jupiter line runs from Newfoundland down through western South America and just kisses the coast of Hispaniola.)
