You know those Full Moon nights when you’re sure the moon seems bigger? Anyone who has observed and admired one of these moons has certainly felt a different kind of energy and power – it’s almost like hypnotism. It appears in the sky in such an impressive way that there are always people who comment with surprise: “Look how big the moon is!” And the question that always arises is: does it really change the moon? And more! Is there anything special about it in astrology? Put a reminder in your calendar so you don’t miss the Supermoons in 2024. The spectacle itself, and the energy you’ll be able to feel, makes it all worthwhile.
The brighter in the sky, the brighter on us too
When you look up at the sky on the dates listed below, you’ll be sure to notice that the moon appears larger. This happens when a full moon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth in its elliptical orbit, i.e. a perigee, that’s the Supermoons!
This gives us the sensation that the moon is bigger and brighter than usual. Just as when you look at an object from near or far, you get the impression that its size is changing. The difference, however, is that this is not just any object, but the natural satellite with a big influence on the Earth and on us.
It’s important to point out that the Moon passes through its perigee several times, but we only talk about the supermoons when it occurs exactly during the Moon’s full phase. In astrology, the full moon phase represents a period of harvest and results. It’s the moment of the peak of one’s enlightenment, and therefore also of revelation. During the full moon phase, we have high tides, and as the moon represents our emotions, feelings are noticed. Some people become more elated and may become more emotionally delicate, others may feel more emotional, irritable, have headaches or difficulty sleeping.
A supermoon therefore represents the energy of a full moon, but amplified, and is a phenomenon that occurs only a few times a year. In 2024, there will only be two supermoons, so it’s worth marking these dates and expecting the possible impacts on your life.

18th September 2024 – Supermoon in Pisces
This will undoubtedly be a very powerful day, after all, on this same date, we’ll already have a lunar eclipse occurring with the force of this Supermoon. As it’s in a water sign, and even more so in the last of the zodiac, we’re sure to have a very strong emotional upheaval. People with a strong water element in their natal chart should respect their need for space and let their emotions flow freely, without judgment.
This supermoon will illuminate a spiritual and energetic consciousness within us. It can make mental health issues more obvious by highlighting aspects of your routine, work and lifestyle that may need adjustment. It will also contribute to your dreams so you can find a way to make them a reality.
And speaking of dreams, this night could bring you many important things that will emerge from your subconscious as you sleep. It’s worth leaving a pencil and paper beside your bed so you can write anything you remember the next morning.
Day Recommendation: Acknowledge what you’ve accomplished so far and list the things you’re grateful for in your year, especially your personal accomplishments, whether big or small.

17th October 2024 – Super Moon in Aries
Exactly the opposite of the previous supermoon, this one lies in the first sign of the zodiac and the element of fire. This is a more primitive and impulsive energy, so emotional aspects could become more inflamed and bring more irritability, impatience, and anxiety. Needless to say, this is a day to avoid arguments, isn’t it? If you have a strong fire element in your natal chart, it’s wise avoiding situations that you already know are likely to stress you out.
This Supermoon will raise questions about how you’ve positioned yourself in life in relation to your achievements and relationships. It can empower a desire to prioritize, making it a favorable day for doing things that require courage.
It’s a day when you can be in a good mood and feel with more energy. It could be a good day to do some high-intensity physical activity. Nevertheless, this internal acceleration can make it difficult to fall asleep in the evening and cause some headaches throughout the day.
Day Recommendation: Learn to recognize your potential and all the strength within you. Express and say everything you need to communicate, make the necessary gestures to satisfy your desires, and realize that many things were already within your reach and were just waiting for a gesture on your part.
