Supermoon: How will it affect us?

Does the full moon affect humanity, in particularly a Supermoon? Personally, I notice an increase in insomnia, and also changes in the behavior of animals. Once we had a pig butchered, and observed a most pecular site in that the pig refused to die. Sorry that's not something most people want to talk about, but the gentleman who performed the job; who had 30 years experience in the field, stated that he noticed this ocurrance all the time during full moons. I would attribute it to an increase in energies and the change in magnetic pull on the earth. This supermoon, in particularly, is accompanied by summer solstice energies and solar flares. So things could get fun!

A lack of sleep most certainly affects humans as police have reported a rise in crime rates. Scientifically speaking, I can find little evidence to support anonmalies, but that could be because few studies have been done. Subjectively speaking...well you be the judge of that! The following article is from the Watchers.com. Please follow the links for more information.

On June 23, 2013 the full moon will not only be the closest to Earth for the year, but it will also appear the biggest full moon for 2013. It will be 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full Moons of 2013. It is also known as a supermoon and it will be followed by king tides between June 22 and June 25, 2013.

King tides are also known as perigean spring tides. They are extreme high tide events that occur when the sun and moon’s gravitation forces reinforce one another at times of the year when the moon is closest to the earth. They happen twice a year, but they are typically more dramatic during the winter. When king tides occur during cyclones, floods or storms, water levels can rise to higher levels and have the potential to cause great damage to property and the coastline.

MSM would disagree however. In the video from NewsyScience.com, journalists claim full moons have no affect on us.

 

However in this story from LiveScience.com, researchers have indeed found that the moon does affect life forms.

For instance, a few nights each year, after the full moon, hundreds of species of reef-building corals spawn synchronously, releasing their eggs and sperm into the water in one of the biggest moonlight sex events on Earth. Research published in 2007 in the journal Science reveals that in at least in one type of coral called Acropora millepora a light-sensitive gene may be key. This gene seems to be most active during full-moon nights.

And creatures called Azara's owl monkeys, which prowl the forests of Argentina after dark, are more active on full-moon nights, according to a study published in 2010 in the journal PloS ONE. The researchers also found that the morning after those full moons, the tuckered-out monkeys often slept in. Link: LiveScience.com

In conclusion, you be the judge. I invite you to leave comments on how the full moon and particularly super moons affect you!

Enjoy the moonlight!
