Those who believe in horoscopes might be. Some astrologers (not astronomers) say this natural wonder signals the beginning of a "moonageddon," coinciding with enormous storms, earthquakes and floods. Kit Karson at Psychic Cosmos further predicts that the financial markets could collapse as prices surge into "panic mode."
both wild speculation AND complete bollocks
it was a well put together thread, you obviously put a lot of time and effort in to it, why ruin it?

now had these events happened at the same time as the supermoon it might have held a bit more water, but 2 months after the event thats pushing it a bit dont you think?

So what will this mean to you? Nothing at all. The Moon will be a few percent bigger in the sky, but your eye won’t really be able to tell the difference. It will also be a few percent brighter, but your eye will compensate for this too, so altogether this “Supermoon” will look exactly the same as it always does when it’s full.
As to all of those soothsayers claiming that there will be earthquakes and tidal waves. There very well might be, but they’ll be nothing at all to do with the Moon

Thanks for the post! I have been wondering what's going on lately. I have noticed the last couple of nights that the moon is almost fully waned and I can still see the full dark shape of the moon. This struck me as even more unusual because my eye sight has gotten really bad over this last year and I do not wear glasses but I can see the full shape of the moon with only a sliver lit up by the sun. Or am I just an average ATS fraidy cat?
The tides are caused mainly by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the earth, but there is also a gravitational attraction between the earth and the sun. The effect of the sun upon the tides is not as significant as the moon’s effects. Basically, the sun’s pull can heighten the moon’s effects or counteract them, depending on where the moon is in relation to the sun.
