We live in daily cycles. The Moon phases are a part of Nature.
There are four major phases of the Moon. Look at your calender if the phases are listed. The New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Last Quarter
There are by nature two weeks of receiving energy called waxing. There are two weeks of energy releasing form our bodies called wanning. If you think of boiling water, it slowly gets hot until it reaches the boiling point. The boiling point gives rise to evaporation because water can not boil above a certain temperature. Your bodies boiling point is at the Full Moon phase.
Your body will not evaporate so the Moons energy stops producing that type of lunar energy. The body starts to release the energy until it reaches the New moon phase. By nature we are affected by the Moon. Spell the word Moon and remove the the last letter n and replace it with d. Yes you have Mood Changes.
The Moon is a very powerful force of nature don’t sleep on it.

I must say, all of you saying there’s no evidence have obviously never had an honest days work with the public under your belt. I’ve been a barber for a little over 3 years now, and I can absolutely say that the full moon 100% effects people.

I see 100’s of people each week in my profession, and while I do admit there are always a few odd ones in the bunch, I can tell when it’s a full moon without ever paying attention to the calendar or the cycle of the moon. Every. Single. Time.

On the days that it’s a full moon, my morning starts out with a few of our regular customers, but then all of a sudden we have strangers. And not just strangers, but STRANGE strangers. I live in a small town, so strangers are pretty rare in the first place when you know and remember just about every single one of your clients and know a lot of them by name. Full moon days bring in strange people, nomadic in nature. Behavior can include anything from alcoholic tremors, to retardation, to sexual perverts, to racists, anything you can think of. Most common in these full moon “lunatics” is also a lack of proper hygiene. I swear, these people must never touch water. Ever. When a lot of these strangers are coming in back to back, I smile to myself and think “full moon,” check the calendar, and I swear to god I’m never wrong. Well, one exception, New Moons can also stir up people’s heads a bit. Sometimes I can think it’s a full moon but it’ll be a new moon instead.

So yes, the moon is always there, but there’s something more to it. You can call it “bias confirmation” and I can call you a dumbass. I’ve had three years of case study and probably will have another 57 more on top of it (barber’s don’t retire until they die, sadly, and with this economy, yeah). This is assuming that some full moon lunatic doesn’t kill me before that time is up.

A few of my most extreme full moon examples: Last full moon we had, a woman put her head under her husbands cape (he was caped up for a haircut) and acted like she was giving him.. a good time. Also, one time, a man told me clowns were staring at us from outside. Clowns named “Trevor.” Obviously, there was nothing there. I hope.

Well, i have a different take on this subject. Statistically it has no affects. However, i believe its more of a mental issue. If a person bellieves something will affect them chances are it will. They will find a common ground just vaugue enough for they’re theory, of believeing the moon has affects, to seem as reality. Almost as a horoscope.

My daughter is very intuitive. She seems to sense things before it happens. She has been like this since she was little and is now 45. On a full moon when she leaves a store, the door alarms go off. She says she feels a magnetism on the full moon days.

I personally believe there is some truth to the myth that the full moon effects people’s moods and behavior. I have experienced this myself. I always know when there is a full moon even without knowing it by a calendar. I have so much energy and can’t seem to quit talking and laughing and my sexual interest is greatly intensified as well as other sexual bodily functions. My family thinks I am crazy, but I know what I feel. My husband is beginning to believe me after some years of marriage. I have a grandbaby due on the 3rd of this month and I have my bet that it is born on the full moon which is the 4th. We’ll have to wait and see!

Repond to “Puzzled”.

Its weird that you mention cant sleeping during a full moon. I use to notice it too that some nights I cant sleep well. So when I was around 25yrs old, it just suddenly hit that on the nights I cant sleep, I always see the moon. I told my husband about the weird coincidence and he thought I was crazy. It would go on & on each month and on a FULL moon I could never sleep well. So at about 30 yrs old, I decided to do some research on the internet. I was surprised to find out that a lot of people also have the same experiences then I did not feel alone.

I am not sure if it was all Native American tribes . . .but the women of the tribes had a place called the “Moon Lodge”. It was where they went during their time of menses. Why do you suppose they called it a moon lodge?

I used to be a nurse and worked nights. When there was a full moon the patients would be really wrestless and not be able to sleep. I do believe that the full moon does affect peoples psyche.
