When the huge Moon rises: where to watch the supermoon in Russia and how to make a wish

The supermoon is a unique event that gives you the opportunity not only to admire nature, but also to look inside yourself, recharge your batteries and tune in to fulfill your cherished desires. Almost all residents of Russia will be able to observe it in favorable weather conditions in early November. According to astrologers, this is not only an amazing sight, but also a special time for making wishes and energizing. Where and when to watch the supermoon in Russia, as well as how to formulate desires correctly at this moment, is described in the Izvestia article.

What is a supermoon and when will it come?

A supermoon occurs when the phase of the full Moon coincides with its stay at perigee, the minimum distance from the Earth in orbit. In 2025, a unique event will take place on November 5th. On this day, the full moon phase will occur at 16:20 Moscow time, and on the night of November 6, at about 01:30, the Moon will be at a record close distance — about 356,832 km from our planet. This makes the November supermoon the brightest and largest lunar phenomenon of the year.

Visually, the moon will appear 13% larger than usual, but the effect is most noticeable when it is low above the horizon, creating the impression of a giant disk with the help of a natural optical phenomenon — the so-called lunar illusion. No special equipment is required for observation, and you can see the magnificent celestial body with the naked eye.

Where and how to watch the supermoon in Russia

The best time to observe is the evening of November 5th and the night of November 6th, immediately after moonrise. To conduct surveillance with maximum comfort, it is worth choosing open spaces with a view to the east and an area with minimal light pollution. Ideal locations would be country parks, river and lake embankments, and hills within cities, such as Vorobyovy Gory and Zaryadye Park in Moscow, and the Neva River embankments in St. Petersburg.

Residents of regions with clean autumn air — Siberia, the Urals or the Far East — will have the opportunity to enjoy this phenomenon almost all evening and night. The main condition for successful observation is clear, cloudless weather. Even in cities, if you choose the right location, the moon will look impressive against the background of the night sky.

How to make a wish on the supermoon

Since ancient times, the Moon has been associated with mystical forces that influence a person's fate and inner world. It is believed that the supermoon is a time of increased energy, when wishes made with a pure heart and a clear mind are fulfilled faster. For those who want to make the most of this rare moment, there are some simple tips and tricks.

First, take care of a place to observe the moon. Instead of an urban center, choose as open and quiet a place as possible — a park, a riverbank or a lake, or just a rural area. The less artificial lighting and polluted air there is, the brighter and larger the moon will appear against the background of the night sky. If possible, take photos or make videos: the effect of the "giant disk" at sunrise or sunset is especially fascinating.

Secondly, tune in to the inner contact with this heavenly phenomenon. Take a few minutes in silence to stop the fuss and stress. Paying full attention to the moon helps you feel the depth of what is happening and connect to its energy.

To make a wish, it is important to adhere to simple but strong rules: formulate it clearly, as if it had already come true. Imagine your desire with an inner vision, feel joy and confidence in the future. Especially for this, you can prepare a small ritual: write down a wish on paper, then burn or bury it under the moonlight. Such a symbolic act helps to concentrate the will and mental energy in the right direction.

In addition, the night of the supermoon is a good time to plan important things, but you should avoid making spontaneous decisions and serious financial transactions. Emotions can be heightened, and the mind temporarily gives way to feelings.

Finally, it's important to keep your health in mind.: Research shows that during periods of full moon, the stress on the nervous system increases. Therefore, take care of proper rest, avoid stress and do not overexert yourself.

Use the supermoon as a moment of inspiration, reboot, and clarity, and it will bring the energy of renewal and harmony into your life. Keep an eye on the time and conditions of moonrise in your region, and this magical night on November 5, 2025 is sure to leave vivid and meaningful impressions.
