THE LUNAR EFFECT
The lunar effect or lunar theory is the idea that there is a correlation between the cycles of the moon and human behaviour. This theory dates all the way back to mythology of ancient civilizations. It is believed that a full moon can be responsible for strange or even violent behaviour, throwing human activity, crime rates and childbirth out of kilter. In fact, doctors, nurses and midwives are known to brace themselves for especially busy and bizarre nights on a full moon.
It is scientifically agreed that the cycles of the moon and its gravitational pull regulate the ocean’s tides. It therefore makes sense that, given that human beings are made up of up to 75 percent water, we too may be influenced by these external factors. There are people who dismiss any links as coincidence or believe they have results reflecting conflicting results, however there is more and more scientific evidence and research coming forward in support of the lunar effect.
CRIME AND MURDER
Lunacy and lunatic stem from the word luna, which means moon in Latin. It is believed that people are more likely to show erratic behaviour during a full moon. In fact, in the 18th Century, if a murder was committed under a full moon, the murderer could plead ‘lunacy’ and get a reduced sentenced. Indeed, there are many reports which reveal a monthly peak in psychotic crimes including murder and arson during a full moon. It is suggested that those who are already psychologically unstable could be pushed over the edge by the biological tides from the moon.
BLEEDING
Some people believe you should avoid surgery during a full moon due to a higher risk of complications. A study in the Journal of the Florida Medical Association revealed that 82 percent of postoperative bleeding crises following 1000 tonsillectomies occurred near to the full moon.
Many also believe that a woman’s menstrual cycle is influenced by the cycle of the moon, as the length of the cycle is almost the same.
SLEEP DISTRUPTION
It has long been believed that the moon can affect our sleep patterns, with full moons resulting in sleepless nights. Although some believe this had a bigger effect before modern lighting, there have been many recent studies pointing to this being the case, where participants were unaware of the moon phase or time cues and their sleep showed obvious disruption. One theory is that this sleep deprivation, as a result of the full moon, could be the cause of the rise in other issues like psychological instability and crime.
LUNAR BABIES
Studies show that the full moon can cause a baby boom, with more women going into labour at this time. A study of 1000 births in a hospital in Japan showed that more babies were born when the moon was closest to the Earth, which is when the gravitational pull is at its strongest.
It is also reported that more babies are conceived on the waxing moon than on the waning moon which could help people planning to have a baby. German researcher W. Buehler also found that there was a significant dominance of male births during the waxing moon.
THE LUNAR EFFECT ON NATURE AND ANIMALS
It is hard to argue against the view that animals follow the moon’s time cues. Sea organisms, in particular, exhibit moon and tide related patterns of behaviour, using the moon’s phases as their clock for sleep and reproductive patterns.
In South America and Southeast Asia, they put their lunar cycle knowledge to economic use. The rainforest trees, which is where most of the world’s hardwood comes from, are only cut down on a waning moon near to a new moon. Harvesting during a full moon, when sap rises attracting deathwatch beetles, would devastate their crop and their finances.
SUNSPOTS
It is not only the moon that is believed to produce human cycles. The sun, and in particular sunspots (dark patches which appear on the sun) which appear in 11 year cycles, also seem to have historically affected us here on earth. In 1930, during a sunspot peak, its radiation is believed to have result in changes to human blood serum. It also was held responsible for solar storms, radio interference during the war and altering the size of tree rings. Professor A. C. Tchyivsky has correlated the eleven-year cycle of peak sunspot periods with worldwide historical events such as wars, migrations and revolutions. It is believed that the planets surrounding the sun at the time of sunspot peaks, may play a large part. Today, many scientists believe the sunspot and planetary cycles are critical in the formation of our weather patterns and potentially also earthquakes
ASTROLOGY
Astrologers believe that planetary cycles can directly affect individual human events. In the 1960s, French psychologist and statistician Michel Gauquelin set out to scientifically prove that this could not be the case. His investigation looking at the birth charts of groups including athletes, doctors and bankers, found quite the opposite. His results showed that planetary positions do affect human disposition, talent, and direction.
