The biggest Supermoon on November 14

On Monday, 14 November, the moon will be the biggest and brightest it has been in more than 60 years.

A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth.

By Richard Nolle’s definition, the new moon or full moon has to come within 361,836 kilometers (224,834 miles) of our planet, as measured from the centers of the moon and Earth, in order to be considered a supermoon.

More often than not, the one day of the year that the full moon and perigee align also brings about the year’s closest perigee (also called proxigee). Because the moon has recurring cycles, we can count on the full moon and perigee to come in concert in periods of about one year, one month and 18 days.

Dates of closest full supermoons in future years:

Therefore, the full moon and perigee realign in periods of about one year and 48 days. So we can figure the dates of the closest full moons in recent and future years as:

 How to see the supermoon:

Wherever you are, sunset and moonrise are going to be fairly close to one another. If you want to see the supermoon along with a moon illusion, then you should try to see the moon as it rises, making sure to see it as it’s hovering over the horizon. That means heading out around sunset, and looking to the East.

In most of the Northern hemisphere, where it’s approaching winter and the sun is setting early, the moon will rise just after sunset.

In much of the southern hemisphere, where the days are getting longer, the moon will rise just before sunset. But in either case, you should get a good view of the moon around sunset.

In some regions, the moon’s biggest illumination – when it is most full – will actually be either 13 or 15 November. But on 14 November, it will be about 99% illuminated everywhere. And that's when the moon will be at its closest to the Earth.

When a full moon makes its closest pass to Earth in its orbit it appears up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter, making it a supermoon. 

This month’s is especially ‘super’ for two reasons: it is the only supermoon this year to be completely full, and it is the closest moon to Earth since 1948. 

The moon won’t be this super again until 2034.

Supermoon

A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth.

By Richard Nolle’s definition, the new moon or full moon has to come within 361,836 kilometers (224,834 miles) of our planet, as measured from the centers of the moon and Earth, in order to be considered a supermoon.

By that definition, the year 2015 has a total of six supermoons. The first supermoon, for 2015, came with the January 20 new moon. The new moons on February 18 and March 20 were also considered supermoons, according to Nolle’s definition, and that same definition dictates that the full moons of August, September and October will be supermoons, too. Thus, the full moon supermoons – aka near-perigee full moons – in 2015:

Full moon of August 29 at 18:35 UTC

Full moon of September 28 at 2:50 UTC

Full moon of October 27 at 12:05 UTC

The full moon on September 28, 2015, will present the closest supermoon of the year (356,896 kilometers or 221,754 miles). What’s more, this September 28, 2015 full moon will stage a total lunar eclipse, concluding a series of Blood Moon eclipses that started with the total lunar eclipse of April 15, 2014.

More often than not, the one day of the year that the full moon and perigee align also brings about the year’s closest perigee (also called proxigee). Because the moon has recurring cycles, we can count on the full moon and perigee to come in concert in periods of about one year, one month and 18 days.

Dates of closest full supermoons in future years:

Therefore, the full moon and perigee realign in periods of about one year and 48 days. So we can figure the dates of the closest full moons in recent and future years as:

September 28, 2015

Archangels

An Angel is a supernatural being or spirit found in various religions and mythologies. 
In Abrahamic religions and Zoroastrianism, angels are often depicted as benevolent celestial beings who act as intermediaries between god or Heaven and Earth, or as guardian spirits or a guiding influence.

The word Archangel is derived from the Greek ἀρχάγγελος (arch- + angel, literally chief angel).

The earliest reference to a system of seven archangels as a group appears to be in Enoch I (the Book of Enoch) which is not part of the Jewish Canonbut is prevalent in the Judaic tradition, where they are named as Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Uriel, Raguel, Remiel and Saraqael.

The Cathedral of the Archangel Michael icon. The representation of the seven archangels. Michael at the center, the almond of Christ, Gabriel and Raphael, Jehudiel, Selaphiel, Uriel, Baraquiel - Crop enh.

Seven angels or archangels are given as related to the seven days of the week: Michael (Sunday), Gabriel (Monday), Raphael (Tuesday), Uriel (Wednesday), Selaphiel (Thursday), Raguel or Jegudiel (Friday), and Barachiel (Saturday).

Various occult systems associate each archangel with one of the traditional "seven luminaries" (the seven naked-eye moving objects in the heavens: the Seven Classical Planets): the Moon,Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, but there is disagreement as to which archangel corresponds to which body.

According to Rudolf Steiner, four important archangels also display periodic spiritual activity over the seasons: Spring is Raphael, Summer is Uriel, Autumn is Michael, and Winter is Gabriel.

Following this line of reasoning, Aries (astrologically ruled by Mars) represents Spring, Cancer (ruled by Moon) represents Summer, Libra (ruled by Venus) represents Autumn, and Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) represents Winter. Therefore by association, Raphael is Mars, Uriel is Moon, Michael is Venus, and Gabriel is Saturn. 

Rudolf Steiner's Northern Hemisphere indications regarding the seasons and their placement in the Zodiac will be the opposite in the Southern Hemisphere, making Michael the Autumn archangel - with Mars in Ares; Raphael the Spring Archangel - with Venus in Libra; and in mid-winter Gabriel in Cancer; Uriel presides in Capricorn during mid summer in the south.

In art, archangels are sometimes depicted with larger wings. Some of the more commonly represented archangels are Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, and Uriel.


Archangels exist outside of any one religion or culture, and they exist outside of time and space.

Archangels are magnificent spiritual beings who vibrate with an incredible light and frequency. They are great beings of light and unconditional love who coordinate and oversee guardian angels, guides, and other angels who provide help to us on Earth.

They are able to view reality, including our past, present and future as one stream of energy within the present moment, which enables them to offer powerful guidance and enlightening new perspectives. Each Archangel illuminates specific attributes and qualities of Creator, God, and of all that is through the immense Divine Light and love they carry.

The Archangels serve within the Heavens and on Earth, and their missions are often closely intertwined with helping humanity, because of this, their presence has been documented in many of the worlds religions.


Archangels are highly evolved spiritual beings of the light, who are more than willing to offer their love, guidance, healing,and support whenever we ask, but will not interfere without our permission.



There is no one way to properly connect with or evoke the Archangels, but one thing is certain, by increasing your vibration first, and learning to open your subtle and psychic senses you’re far more likely to connect with the high vibrational energy of the Archangels in a meaningful way.

Blood Type

Blood is composed of cells suspended in a liquid-like substance called plasma.

Suspended in the plasma are three types of cells:

- Red blood cells carry oxygen

- White blood cells fight infection
- Platelets stop bleeding in injuries

A blood type (also called a blood group) is a classification of blood based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). These antigens may be proteins, carbohydrates, glycoproteins or glycolipids, depending on the blood group system. Some of these antigens are also present on the surface of other types of cells of various tissues. Several of these red blood cell surface antigens can stem from one allele (or very closely linked genes) and collectively form a blood group system. 

Blood types are inherited and represent contributions from both parents. A total of 33 human blood group systems are now recognized by the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT). The two most important ones are ABO and the RhD antigen, they determine someone's blood type (A, B, AB and O, with +, − or Null denoting RhD status).

The most common type of grouping is the ABO (either uppercase or lowercase) grouping. 

The varieties of glycoprotein coating on red blood cells divides blood into four groups: 

- A (A oligosaccharide is present) 

- B (B oligosaccharide is present) 

- AB (A and B oligosaccharides are present) 

- O (neither A nor B, only their precursor H oligosaccharide present) 

Blood transfusion is generally the process of receiving blood products into one's circulation intravenously. Transfusions are used for various medical conditions to replace lost components of the blood. Early transfusions used whole blood, but modern medical practice commonly uses only components of the blood, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, clotting factors and platelets.

SUPERMOON

Photographs or other instruments can tell the difference between a supermoon and ordinary full moon. The supermoon of March 19, 2011 (right), compared to an average moon of December 20, 2010 (left). Image by Marco Langbroek of the Netherlands via Wikimedia Commons.

Moon is Earth’s only natural satellite and the second brightest object in the sky after the sun.

The moon’s gravity can cause small ebbs and flows in the continents called land tides or solid Earth tides. These are greatest during the full and new moons because the sun and moon are aligned on the same or opposite sides of the Earth.

Image and caption via NOAA. * a)

A full moon is the opposite of a new moon. At both the new and full phases, the moon is on a line with the Earth and sun. At new moon, the moon is in the middle position along the line. At full moon, Earth is in the middle. Full moon always comes about two weeks after new moon, when the moon is midway around in its orbit of Earth, as measured from one new moon to the next.
* a) About three or four times a year, the new or full moon coincides closely in time with the perigee of the moon—the point when the moon is closest to the Earth. These occurrences are often called ‘perigean spring tides.’ The difference between ‘perigean spring tide’ and normal tidal ranges for all areas of the coast is small. In most cases, the difference is only a couple of inches above normal spring tides. 

So, the moon is full, or opposite Earth from the sun, once each month. It’s new, or more or less between the Earth and sun, once each month.

Every month, as the moon orbits Earth, it comes closest to Earth - that point is called perigee.

The moon always swings farthest away once each month - that point is called apogee.

The astrologer Richard Nolle coined the term supermoon over 30 years ago. The term has only recently come into popular usage. 

Richard Nolle has defined a supermoon as:
… a new or full moon which occurs with the moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit.

That’s a pretty generous definition and allows for many supermoons. By this definition, according to Nolle there are 4-6 supermoons a year on average.

In the year 2011 the media used the label "supermoon" to describe the full moon of March 19, 2011.and this label became familiar. 

On that date, the full moon aligned with proxigee – the closest perigee of the year – to stage the closest, largest full moon of 2011.

Conclusion:

Supermoons are full moons that coincide with "lunar perigee," when the moon's orbit brings it closest to Earth. This moon appears bigger and brighter than a typical full moon.

Tribute to The Mothers

A MOTHER is a woman has raised a child, given birth to a child, and/or supplied the egg wich in union with a sperm grew into a child.

Mother can often apply to a woman other than the biological parent, especially if she fulfills the main social role in raising the child. 

This is commonly either an adoptive mother or a stepmother (the biologically unrelated wife of a child's father).

Historically, the role of women was confined to some extent to being a mother and wife, with women being expected to dedicate most of their energy to these roles, and to spend most of their time taking care of the home.

In many cultures, women received significant help in performing these tasks from older female relatives, such as mothers in law or their own mothers.

Nearly all world religions define tasks or roles for mothers through either religious law or through the glorification of mothers who served in substantial religious events.

There are many examples of religious law relating to mothers and women.

Mother's Day is a celebration honoring mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society.

It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in spring (April–May in the northern hemisphere, October in Argentina, May, in Australia)

"Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children." ~ William Makepeace Thackeray

"A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them." ~ Victor Hugo

"All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." ~ Abraham Lincoln 

"A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories" ~ Honore de Balzac

"When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child." ~ Sophia Loren

"Women have always been the strong ones of the world. The men are always seeking from women a little pillow to put their heads down on. They are always longing for the mother who held them as infants." ~ Coco Chanel

The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between. ~ Mother Teresa

Where is the love?

Emotions are often felt in the body, and somatosensory feedback has been proposed to trigger conscious emotional experiences.

Human emotions mapped for the first time, shows where we feel love, fear, and shame.

Researchers in Finland have compiled the first authoritative atlas of “body maps” that detail where we feel emotions.

In experiments with 701 participants from Sweden, Finland, and Taiwan, two silhouettes of bodies were paired with facial expressions, stories, emotional words, or movies, and the participants were asked to color the regions of body images where they felt increasing (in yellow) or decreasing (in blue) sensation while viewing the stimuli. Black would indicate no change in sensation.
