The other evening, as I was leaving work, I looked up into the sky and saw the most beautiful full Moon. It was a cold, clear night, with only a few noticeable stars in the sky. I love the Moon when it is full, when you can see all of it's beauty, and all of it's radiance. Sometimes, it even holds me captive as I watch it's brightness sparkle, an overshadowing of light gray penetrating it's bright surface. Harvest Moons are especially beautiful, they seem brighter and bigger. I often wonder what's on the other side of it, why do dogs howl at it and do werewolves truly come out during the full Moon. People write poems and songs as a tribute to the Moon.
I usually associate the full Moom with an intensity of emotion that denotes passion, fire, love and sensuality, to me anyway. Many others would describe much darker emotions when observing it, or even conclude that something unpleasant might occur because it is full, hence the expression, "be careful, it's a full Moon."
How does the full Moon affect others, does it affect their mood, their emotions, their behavior? As a nurse, going to work on the night of a full Moon, you know for sure that you are going to have an exceptionally busy, unexpected, or 'different' kind of shift. More people are born during full Moon, bleed more during full Moon, have accidents during the full Moon and in general, misbehave.............................
