🌕❄️ The Cold Moon Is Returning — And We Won’t See Another Like It for 18.6 Years ✨

This week, the Moon is preparing a spectacle we haven’t witnessed since 2006 — and won’t witness again until 2043.
The final supermoon of 2025 coincides with a major lunar standstill, the same rare cycle ancient astronomers and Stonehenge’s builders tracked with such precision.

A lunar standstill happens once every 18.6 years, when the Moon reaches the most extreme northern and southern points in its orbit.
This time, it aligns perfectly with a supermoon — amplifying the effect in a way that’s truly extraordinary.

Because the Moon will be 17,000 miles closer to Earth, it will appear up to 14% larger and around 30% brighter than an average full moon.

🌍 What You’ll Notice:

⬆️ Northern Hemisphere:
The Moon will rise to an unusually high altitude — far above its typical winter path.

⬇️ Southern Hemisphere:
It will hang remarkably low, glowing near the horizon like a massive golden lantern.

Astronomers are calling this the most extreme full moon event until 2042 — a moment where celestial geometry and ancient sky traditions align in perfect harmony.

📅 When: December 4, 2025
⏰ Peak Illumination: 6:14 PM EST

No telescope needed. No special equipment.
Just step outside and look up — the sky is about to show us how rare and wondrous our Moon can truly be. 🌕✨

Hi Sisters, How about a get-together in October? Let's build on the momentum from the TWBN and discuss our future for next year. The Building Trades has offered its office for our get-together. Let me know everyone's thoughts. We usually meet on a Monday evening...does that work for everyone? Give me some feedback.

Hello sisters - those who are attending the TWBN conference...The Illinois AFL-CIO is looking for attendees to interview. If you are interested, please text me at 309-264-1119 your name and your local. I will pass them along. THANKS!
Looking forward to seeing you all in CHICAGO :-)
