IF YOU'VE been thinking it's been a little brighter lately at night, chances are you're probably not imagining it.

And if you believe what the stars are telling us, it's time to listen to the universe and prepare for some big changes - and you have an eclipse and super moon to thank for it come Saturday.
 
But while Saturday's super moon might be good for some, it could spell bad news for our economy.
 
Astrologer Dadhici Toth said the effect of this eclipse was compounded because it was the third this month.
 
"It is significant for Australians because it will affect the finance sector of the national horoscope," he said.
 
"The full effect won’t be seen for another month, but the economic bubble is about to burst.
 
"When the sun goes into the sign of cancer, there will be very significant turns in the stock market."
 
Mr Toth said the fact that five planets were transiting the finance sector added weight to the "deep" trouble into which the economy was heading.
 
"Australian real estate and property prices will die between June and September and the areas of banking, taxes, insurance and superannuation will take a real hit."
 
However, he predicted gold was still a good investment despite falling prices. 
 
According to soul mentor and healer Elizabeth Peru the eclipse is a chance to chance to clean up and revive our lives and the lead up to the super full moon is an opportunity to work out what isn't working.
 
Describing the lunar eclipse as a "curtain call to the big show" she says the super full moon should give us the cosmic push to make those changes.
 
Astrologist Jonathon Cainer said we're fast approaching a Full Moon that's going to produce what experts call an "imperceptible eclipse".
 
He says this might explain why so many people are now feeling so tense... plus why the reasons for those fears will eventually prove to be imperceptible.
 
Even if you're not astrologically minded a super full moon is still a pretty special event as it's not every day Earth gets a chance to be so close to it’s space neighbour.
 
The last time it was so close was in March 19, 2011.
 
A super full moon is when the moon is at its closest approach to the Earth (or a lunar perigee in official terms) and coincides with the phase of full moon. 
 
This means the moon may seem bigger and brighter, although if it's cloudy and or overcast you might not get to glimpse it in all its glory, especially as it is set to take place at 2:24:54 pm.
 
Normally the distance between the Earth and Moon vary according to the time and year with the average distance being around 382,900 kilometres.
 
This might explain why the NASA says it will not only appear larger - as in 14 per cent - but also at least 30 per cent brighter.
