Since I became aware of this phenomenon, I've noticed I get into arguements with normally really nice people, over the silliest issues. People drive more aggressive. Many are in bad moods before/during/after a full moon. My sister works in the E.R. & witnesses higher than normal emerg. statistics. Do you believe the moon has a strong gravitational pull, which changes animal/mammal behaviour? If the moon has an affect on the oceans tides, could it have an even greater affect on our brains? Tell me what you think?

Of all the psuedo sciences astrology makes the most sense, simply based on the gravitational forces you mentioned. If the moon can raise a tide 50 to 60 feet what kind of effect might that force have on human microchemistry? The stats about weird stuff and ers is repeated enough to lend credence to the theory. So if the moon can have an effect, would not the influence of other gravitational forces also have some effect on the microchemistry that occurs during conception? Maybe not stars but what about jupitur or saturn.

I see the same thing in people and have also felt that if the phases of the moon could affect the tides, then it would make sense that it would do the same in a body which is made so much of fluid.
It is not just the moon though, it can be seen anytime there is a sizable change in the barametric pressure. We know dogs get anxious when a storm is coming, people do, too.

I believe in astrology. In some cases the position of the moon and other planets do have allot to do with the way we behave. For instance in June the planet Jupiter was in retrograde and for the first few days of this both me and other fellow ares, had a rough time with our attitudes. If you would like to look farther into this look up your sign and see what characteristics that your particular sign carries.You will be fascinated by the startling results.

Fact the moon has an effect on the ocean
Fact the ocean is made of salt water
Fact the human body is 90% water .09% salt or "Normal saline"
There for if the moon can move the entire ocean it has to have some effect on the human body.
:o)

I don't know why, but I notice that there are a lot more dipshits running around when it is full. I think it has something to due with the fact that one can see better at night. Sort of like a super power.

Yes, I do. I tend to have quite a bad sleep pattern around a full moon, and I have noticed that I can be quite short tempered too, but maybe that's just lack of sleep. LOL!
