The Full Moon Influence
Full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon oppose each other, and this opposition between the two big luminaries of the sky creates a certain unbalance. It's like we're in the middle of a strong magnetic field and loose balance as soon as we try to move out. We tend to have accidents - whether it's a fall or a car crash. On a full Moon night a friends of mine slipped on a patch of ice in the street, fell and broke my arm. Not surprisingly, when she arrived at the hospital the surgeons were really busy - there had been two traffic accidents that afternoon and evening. At another full Moon another friend was attacked by an aggressive dog, bitten and thrown to the ground, breaking her hip as she fell. Both of us were operated and luckily didn't have any problems, though operations is said to best be avoided five days before and after the Moon is full. Another effect of the tension of the this Moon phase is violent outbreaks. Especially where there are religious and ethnic conflicts, like in northern Ireland and the Middle East, there tend to be a peak in violence. And watch your own irritation and mood swings! Isn't this when you easily snap at your kids or husband, or generally tend to feel tense? It's also common to suffer from insomnia and I've found that people with a strong Moon influence in their natal chart, for instance a person with the Sun, Moon or ascendant in Cancer, are more likely to not being able to sleep. We all know the word lunatic. It comes from the Latin word for Moon, luna. Someone who's lunatic is full of Moon. Restless, nervous, tense, violent, angry. Mad, mad, mad. French law used to excuse a person who committed a crime at full Moon Or at least so rumours say). It was like he wasn't quite at his senses - and it wasn't his fault. The Moon was to blame. Actually, the word mood in French, luné also origins from Latin luna. So they say a person is in bad or good moon, not mood. A person who's born at full Moon will have Sun Moon opposition in the natal chart - which is a bit like carrying a full Moon inside you. The person tends to be restless and always discontent, never satisfied, wanting something, not knowing what. But this frustration also creates a strong drive, and individuals with Sun Moon opposition are very often great achievers. Finally, it's just a myth that more babies are born on at this particular phase of the Moon! A study of several thousands of births in the hospital in Trondheim, Norway showed no connection between the phases of the Moon and births. Thank God, I'd add. We don't want too many people in this world with Sun Moon opposition in their birth chart - that would just lead to too much stress, tension and violence!
