For centuries, the moon has been a mystery to humans. It has been symbolized as depicting the beauty of a woman, romance, night, horror, and evil. In this article, I have researched how the moon affects us, our behavior, and our thoughts.
The moon in the Zodiac is the ruler of the sun sign, Cancer. People born under this sign are said to be ruled by the moon. But there is more insight into this than just the Zodiac’s association.
The moon’s position in the night sky reflects a woman’s fertility, menstrual cycles, and birth process. The woman’s menstrual cycle has a gap of about 28-30 days. Ovulation tends to occur during the darker phase. Hence, it was noted that a woman’s fertility rate and menstrual cycle function as per the moon’s lunar phase.
Lunar cycles can also affect other human behaviors and activities. In a survey conducted, it was found that many accidents, suicides, homicide cases, and murder cases were occurring at a higher rate. On a full moon day, more dangerous incidents occurred among people.
Also, it is noted that on full moon days, the tidal waves tend to be pulled higher. The gravitational pull is higher on full moon days, making boating, cruising, or swimming in oceans and seas difficult.
Suicides are also noted to be under the influence of lunar vibes, where a person with an unstable mind is more prone to suicidal attacks on a full moon day.

I have also concluded that the moon has been associated with madness and insomnia for many centuries. Old-time warnings include that if a person stares too long at the man, they will eventually go mad.
Theories based on lycanthropes are also closely linked with the moon. It was firmly believed that the lunar phase helps transform lycanthropes, the best-known example being a werewolf.
An in-depth explanation tells us that the moon is opposite to the sun. While the sun brings us warmth, light, and perfect vision, the moon gives us a light that cannot be shared. The dark side of the moon portrays the dark illusions or phases. This type of darkness reveals or suggests some secrecy, a hidden secret, or deception. This trait gives us more reason to believe that the moon is associated with the descriptions mentioned earlier.
I have also read that the moon has been associated with spiritual studies. In spiritual science, the moon is referred to as a source of cool logic, calmness, tranquility, peace, and coolness. Many spiritual sciences have followed occult theories based on what is known as ‘The Tradition of the Moon.’
In medicinal cases, patients have been found to react abnormally on full moon and new moon days. This has raised many eyebrows at the theory that the moon could possibly respond to the mood swings of human beings whose sensitivity and thoughts are closely linked to the moon.
With this, I would like to say that the moon definitely does influence the human mind and body during its lunar cycles and phases.
Why is the full moon so important?
Looking up at the sky on some melancholy nights, I sometimes can’t help but wonder why the moon is half today and full another night. Do you, too? It isn’t your eye deceiving you; it’s the real deal. The full moon occurs when the whole moon passes through the earth’s shadow, and the lunar eclipse occurs. When this happens, the entire moon is visible to the whole world because the moon is opposite the Earth, away from the sun.
Different kinds of full moons are available for other months, each with uniqueness, symbolism, and magical connections. Most pagans love to celebrate the full moon with a monthly ritual, while some celebrate it in seasons.
Magical Workings During the Full Moon
The Wicca and pagans have specifications for some magical workings according to the moon phases, so the appearance of a specific phase brings ritual opportunities. The full moon is considered an appropriate time for evoking, overcoming obstacles, charging jewelry, casting spells, consecrating an instrument, banishing, getting married, making wishes, and so on.
The Power of the Full Moon
The full moon is an acclaimed time for manifesting desires, sexuality, abundance, prosperity, and protection because it is the phase when the moon goddess is in her mother stage. Hence, the moon’s energy is at its peak at this time.
It is also said that moon deities can only be summoned during the full moon, so it might be a great time to call on a lunar deity for assistance. Another significant event of this period was the “drawing down the moon ritual.” During this ritual, a high priest invokes the moon goddess to communicate directly with the circle. This can be achieved in two ways: either the high priestess becomes possessed by goodness while she speaks, or the goddess appears in different forms to the people and communicates with them. Amazing, isn’t it?
