Remember how on April 8th of this year, the whole country was united in witnessing the solar eclipse’s path across the country. Well, it’s happening again on October 2nd. For those lucky enough to be in Hawaii or South America, they will have an opportunity to see the annual solar eclipse named the “ring of fire” as it starts its journey in Hawaii and sets in South America namely Chile and Argentina.
According to Britannia, “Solar eclipses may be classified as either total, in which the Moon completely covers the Sun, or annular, in which the Moon obscures all but an outer ring of the Sun. Whether an eclipse is total or annular depends on the distance between these three objects”.
This got me thinking about what I call the Full Moon Phenomenon. You know when situations and people seem to be a little bit off. I bet if you take a look at the calendar when you notice things are “extra” it will be around the same time as the Full Moon!
The word lunatic is derived from the notion that changes in one’s mental state were related to lunar cycles. As far back as Ancient Rome and Greece there is a thought that one’s behavior could be traced to the Full Moon. However, according to, Healthline, “Scientists continue to study how the moon influences various physiological and psychological systems. For now, though, it appears the effect of this heavenly body on your body is less powerful than once believed.”
The next Full Moon will be on October 17th . It also will be the supermoon for 2024 which means it will be closest to earth than any other full moon this year! I don’t know about you, but I still feel there is a direct link to one’s behavior and the Moon. What do you think, have you observed the Full Moon Phenomenon?
