I always believed that it is earth's revolution around the sun which affect the mood of a person. As earth moves forward in its orbit, so does a persons mood changes. Same time when other planets close by to earth our mood swings to extremely. I think it all related to GRAVITATIONAL FORCE impact on us.

There is only ONE TIME when the orbit of a planet ever affected any of us. About 4.5 billion years ago - it was a planet the size of Mars - that crashed into the Earth - and formed the moon.
Except for asteroids - which have crashed into the Earth numerous times - causing mass extinctions - no other celestial objects except the Sun and the moon have exerted a significant influence on us.
To be fair - Jupiter asserts an indirect influence - because it affects the orbits of objects in the asteroid belt. And the gravitational influence of Jupiter may have formed the asteroid belt in the first place.
But to get back to the subject:
Given the assumption that you are correct - and that a person's mood ACTUALLY DOES change as the Earth revolves around the sun, does it have to be related to GRAVITY? I would think it likely that THE SEASONS affect a person's mood swings, FAR MORE than the meager pull of an object millions - or even billions of miles away.

The Earth's revolution around the Sun does not affect a person's mood directly, but the seasons can. The gravity of nearby astronomical objects are too infinitesimal to affect us. We are too close to the surface of the Earth. If an external gravity field was measurable, it would affect the Earth itself and not anyone standing on the surface because Earth's field extends far from the surface.

For some reason i had this vivid flash of EXACTLY how much affect the sun has on the Earth's revolution..
Oddly what came to mind was one of them Charity coin collection apparatus.
They're usually yellow, (curiously the same hue of the sun) circular (curiously the same embodiment of the sun)
They start 4 foot wide top, and funnel down to about 2 inch wide.
We kind of fling a coin along the top rim, and watch it spin and spin and fluently spin, all the way until it reaches that large mass at the bottom, controlling all gravity......
That's us against the sun.. ;)
However since i assume you're speaking of the moon cycle's.
It most implicitly, has influence on our mood. Physically, Mentally and Spiritually.
My Grand Father was born in 1875. His mother was a full blooded Cherokee that survived the Cherokee agency route of the Trail of tears.
People would come from all over the county suffer down Grandpa's 8 mile dirt farm road, just to get consultation by him. About farming Cotton, about Biblical interpretation, about fixing that ole' crank motor that ran the horseless carriage.
..and now and again he would probably get a visit from Jesse James and his brother who had a Dog track up the road, (Momma remembers tripping over the Moonshine stills, sticking out of the ground all over the farm.)
(i'm rambling) Point is, Momma tells me stories of how Grandpa could read the moon. He was almost Shamanistic in the sence.
I got that gift from him, even though he died two decades before i was born..
Its really not something you can explain, its an intuition, i suppose.

As the earth moves forward in its movement - are you talking about the eliptical orbit of the earth? Whats funny about that is in the northern hemishphere, winter occurs when we are closer to the sun. The difference is: the earth's angle to the sun puts the northern hemishphere away from the sun, which makes us colder because of the earths atmosphere filtering out the suns rays. Thats why people get depressed in the winter.

the gravitational force on us doesn't change as we move around the sun, and any change caused by a difference in the speed of the rotation of the earth is so infinitely small as to not matter, and as to how it applies to your mood, well I guess some people might be pissed if they felt a little heavier one day, but since they wouldn't for any astronomical reasons I'd say this QUESTION is wrong.

You sound like you will convert to Jehovias Witness or Morman any day. Gravity doesn't effect us....we have had 40,000 years to get used to it....any other idea is some fake/neo science.
