It was full moon yesterday and I see it now, still beaming brightly, how does it affect you?

Question

Various personal experiences have convinced me, that the coming of each full moon 'can and does' affect our behaviour...

Have you noticed this too?

Hi Shilpa,matter of fact, I'm glad you feel the positive side of it, I do too, mostly... I find the full moon has a huge influence on peoples moods at the time,e.g, if, like you, if I am feeling good, then it seems to take on almost psychedelic tones, such a high but if I am having a less happy time, then everything can be ten times worse. I also notice that people driving are more prone to accidents, often more aggressive. Worked in a pub for a while too, that was actually what brought the whole thing to my attention!! The atmosphere on a full moon night was always charged and could go either way. Depending who came in the door at what seemed almost like a designated time, we would either have the biggest party or a vicious brawl, no inbetween.
With the birth of my kids, I couldn't help but notice that were affected in many ways. I find it fascinating. Nothing more lovely than such beautiful settings as you described, soak it up and stay so glad :-)

Answer 1

I have been a Bartender and an Ambulance attendant and I can tell you for sure, the full moon brings out the crazy in people. I don't know why, because the moon in the same size, no matter how much light is reflected off it, but it's true.

Answer 2

I can't say that I've noticed any difference to me, but I'm sure there's a lot of rows and door slamming in the neighbourhood around that time. Also, one of the neighbours spends ages just staring up at the full moon and her behaviour tends to be a little more eccentric than usual.

Isn't that where we get the word lunatic from?

Answer 3

Me? Thankfully no! I worked nights for many years, and can tell you, a full moon makes people do stupid things! Also, the Police put on extra staff when there is a full moon! You may ask why? It's because all the nutters like the 'daylight of the moon' at night-time! For me, I stay home every full moon. (Strapped in my kennel, mmwwwahahahaa!) (I am just teasing, obviously!) hhooowwlllsssssss........

Answer 4

still a bit hairy ,, but ive got the howling under controoowwwllll just about :)

apparently i have heard rumour years ago that the phases of the moon can and does affect people because the moon controls the tide, well all water to be exact and the human body is made up of quite a bit of water, i really am useless when asked for definite facts and tend to go a bit vague but apparently what ive just said is quite true, you will need to google a bit to get the correct ways and means of it though

Answer 5

I'm a Pagan and we follow the phases of the moon. The moon in different signs does effect people in different ways. Even if not everyone thinks so.

Answer 6

I get anxious during the Full Moon. And if I look right at it? It makes it worse. It-like casts a spell where it makes me feel that it's in control of me. I don't really like the feeling, but wth, it's all nature.

Answer 7

My Dad is a Leo and it is a full moon in Leo. He's a bit down but not as bad as I thought he'd be.

Answer 8

it makes me feel alive,,I'm a Leo and i feel like the man IN the moon cos i am on top of the world

Answer 9

yes i've grown lots of facial hair, big furry ears and claws... now oddly enough I feel like howling at the moon and eating people. most peculiar
