There are many rumors that the Supermoon on 19 March 2011 which is visible after 18 years will cause natural disasters etc. But Hindu Astrologers and even the NASA scientists denying this. The Supermoon is 14% larger than the normal Moon and 30% brighter than other Full Moon days. As every Purnima and Amavasya brings some sort of heavy tides in the seas and the Oceans, this time also there are larger predictions of higher sea tides.
As Tsunami Earth-quake affected Japan a week ago, this Supermoon has got greater significance. There will be no worry for us. Hindu Astrology condemns all these rumors. Please be happy.
