"Supermoon" is a term coined by astrologer Richard Nolle, and refers to a lunation that occurs when the Moon is at its closest orbital proximity to the Earth.

Visually, this week's Full Moon will appear "14% bigger and 30% brighter than lesser Full Moons of 2021" (Spaceweather.com). It will also appear big and bright for about three nights, from Sunday through Wednesday. Energetically, since the Moon will be so close to the Earth, we can assume that emotional reactivity will be heightened above and beyond the usual "lunacy" we experience with a Full Moon.

Adding to that intensity, Luna will be at 07°06´ Scorpio at the time of the lunation, which occurs on Monday, April 26, at 8:32 p.m. PDT.
