Do you think the different phases of the moon really influence peoples behaviour?
607158
Yes. For two reasons:\n1- Gravity and the causes between earth and moon\n2- Subconscious of people who are influenced under articles, news and stories about this issue! Which I think is stronger than the gravity of moon!

yeah joe its a domino effect, moon effects tides, when tides are more pronounced there is more physical movement, when there is more movement more shrimp move about, when more shrimp move about more fish move about trying to feed on the shrimp and higher on up the food chain we go

horoscopes can b true if you have a reading at the exact time and date of birth,because the planets that influence the earth and us are constantly moving. so it makes every one differant even twins born minutes apart.so wat you read in your daily paper or magazine is not very accurate, if it was there only be twelve kinds of people. the stars only influence they do not compel, we have free choice, so if you have the knowledge of your sign's influences you can make a concious decision which way you want your life to go. if you dont believe the stars influence our daily lives, look at our biggest star THE SUN, life to all, then next biggest THE MOON, tide times etc. all the stars in our solar systm have influence on us, jst up to us to use it or not and they have been studied since the beginning of man.

If you go to the old farmers almanac you can find out what the phases and times of the moon were. \nHope this helps

Yes the earth moves round the sun as do the other planets and when the sun and the moon are aligned with the earth then we are eclipsed depending on which part on the planet you live.

It's not exact, or we wouldn't see phases of the moon. See, the moon is a significant influence on times of ebb and flood tides, and if it was perfectly synchronized with our rotation, then it would be the same phase every day.\n\nFurthermore, it changes every day at each location. For the most part, you can count on a 5 or 6 hour flood stage from low to high tide, followed by a 5 or 6 hour ebb stage back to low tide.\n\nOther forces effect tides (such as the sun's gravity), but as far as time of day for high and low tides, nothing compares to the moon's gravitational tug.

Genetics my question asker play the major role in determining your personality, however some people do believe that when you are concieved plays a part, because your mother has to deal with different enviromental factors with the changing of the seasons.\nAlso, the moon phases are believed to have an effect on the amniotic fluid you are swimming around in.\nAll of this leads to hints why people born under certain astrological signs act the way they do.

Good Goddess yes!  Ask the tides if you don't think the full moon matters!  The moon has a lot of influence over the energies here on Earth.  It is a proven medical fact that women who live in areas without a high electrical charge menstruate in accordance with the cycles of the moon.  This doesn't mean that the full moon is the only time to cast spells - it depends on what you're hoping to achieve.  Sometimes casting spells on the waxing or waning moon may be better for what you want to accomplish, but any serious witch will charge her/his altar tools under the full moon.\n\nBlessed be!\n)O(

Full moon's seem to make me go all wild too, but in different ways.

No Moon: Very Very Dark at night, The oceans would to move.\n\n2 Moons: Bright, the oceans and weather would be in chaos\n\n3 Moons: Probably chaotic unhevels major differences from now\n\nThe Moon affects everything on earth: From when planets bloom, the when the seasons change, to tidal movements, to Animal behavior, to cosmic catcher(the moon traps: 80% of all meoters inbound for earth)\n\nThe list is profounding\n\nGood question\n\nI added a few links to put it in science terms

All attempts to find a direct correlation between phases of the moon and weather have been unsuccessful.  Direct correlation has been found between phases of the moon and patient cases in hospital emergency rooms, but no cause and effect has been attributed.

Correlation like more women go into labor during a full moon.\n\nMeans nothing. Stop trying to find something that ain't there.

No, the apparent "phase" of the moon is relative to where you are on earth at a particular time and the moon's position in relation to the earth and the sun, it does not effect the earth's rotation.  That being said the moon has had an impact on the earth's rotation, and we can assume that it continues to exert the same gravitational forces it has through antiquity.  This isn't exactly true because the moon's orbit is actually getting larger at a rate of about 3.8 centimeters per year (negligible change)*. \n\nAs to stretching these facts to assume that it might affect the space-time continuum ever so slightly I have read several scholarly articles dealing with gravitational forces and their affect on time. Of all of these Stephen Hawking's were the easiest for me to understand and the most interesting to read.  You might want to check out his books "A Brief History of Time" and "The Universe in a Nutshell", both should be available at your local library.  Whether gravity exerted by the moon is strong enough to influence time on earth or not I’m not sure but I would assume so.  If I remember correctly the closer you are to a center of gravity the faster time passes relative to someone farther away.  The visible phases of the moon would still have nothing to do with the affect on time however.  \n\nThat was an interesting question, I hope my answer was of some use to you!\n\nRegards,\n\nArmus\n*thanks for correcting me on the orbital change Answer Guy.

The Moon does not play a key role in the universe.  In terms of the universe, the moon is not even noticeable.  It does not play a key role in our galaxy.  It does not play a key role in our solar system.  However, the Moon does have some profound effects upon Earth.\n\n1) Earth's oceans would have tides even if we did not have a moon.  The Sun is large enough that its gravity would create tides.  Oddly enough, the moon tides and sun tides are of almost equal size.  The Sun's gravity is more powerful than the Moon's gravity.  But the Sun is much farther so it balances out.  When the Moon and Sun are on the same side of Earth, the tides are much stronger.\n\n2) Most of the time, the Moon lights the night sky.  Without this light, it is doubtful that any of the nocturnal species would be nocturnal.  It is certain that the moonlight affected the course of evolution on Earth.

Lets clear one thing up, the moon is always full. You just can't see all of it easily every night because of it's position and relative angle between us and the sun. \nHowever, the reason that people, and other animals, have strange behavior during a "full moon" is because of the amount of light we get from it. On a clear night when the moon is full it's like the sun never sets. If you've ever been in the wilderness during this time, you know that you don't even need a flash light to walk around. It's like the lights are on. All this light coming into peoples homes causes them to not sleep. It gives a bit of skew on the internal clock that we have. Also, predators roam at night. And during a full moon it's easier to see them so animals, including people, get braver. This lends to the felling that people do strange things during a full moon. You just feel more comfortable at night when you can see whats around you. So being Hyped up during the day is just a feeling of comfort because the night won't be so scary.

Yes, and not only does it affect the land, it also affects everything else comprised of atoms, which is everything-Including You!!\nDepending on which side of the earth you are on, or which side you are closest to. If you are on the moon side then  you actually wiegh less because the earth and moon are both pulling on you, but in opposite directions, thus the moon diminishes the earths gravittional pull on you if even only by a tiny amount. If you are on the side opposite the moon, then the earth and moon have a combined pull, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull on you. \nAll mass has this same affect on all other mass, however it is more evident when there are large masses involved, such as the moon.\n\nHappy full moon.

I am very effected by the fool moon, however as a Cancer it is my ruling planet.  I make sure to saty home that night and have a few drinks.  I always make a very special meal and just enjoy watching the moon pass over my house!
