the main discussion i want to have is that of the planet moon and its effects on the mind.
we know about natures law of gravity, we know two masses, however big or small pull each other.
it has been proven that tides are due to the pull of the moon.
the question is, why not the same pull on our body and minds?. we are 70 % water, the brain is 80 % fluid.
we are in the most delicate balance of nature possible.
the poisons in our body is measured in ppm i.e. parts per million. arsenic poisoning, lead poisoning, mercury poisoning. a small change in temperature, i.e. 1 degree Celsius, makes us lie in bed and feel shitty. a small change in potassium, sodium, chloride in our body makes us behave abnormal. we share a genetic similarity to monkeys by 99%, well not surprising, but, we share a genetic similarity to a rat by 92%!!
point of all this being, that even the minutest or insignificant change in our body balance, throws us off, then why not the pull of the moon on a body which is 70% water.
a full moon is 9 times brighter than a half moon., hence 9 times potential in light, hence it can be safely said, a higher effect on us.
now explaining it , at the time of birth, when our body, and specially our skull which is very soft and tender, gets exposed to the atmosphere for the first time. now at that particular moment , in a dynamic environment where all the planets are influencing the environment, as each is projecting its own gravitational pull and each is at a different distance according to its position from us, has a different push and pull on our body.
moon being the closest , has the maximum influence, and hence influences the fluid in our brain and body the most.
where does psychology play a role? i am coming to that....
next article ,i will link psychology and astrology keeping moon as base.
would also discuss the shadows of moon and observations of its psychological effect on people.
je
astrologer and psychologist.
