Dh changes when a full moon

You’re not the only person to have seen the very popular posts on social media about this. You’re not some deep person with incredible hidden knowledge

Extra moonlight at night can disrupt sleep. Maybe he just sleeps worse on those nights and it makes him grumpy.

This is what my Dh says, police.

Wind madness is definitely a thing, having been in schools for over 30 years!

I’m often surprised by people who do not know their partner’s sign

Why is this surprising? (I don't know my husband's sign, but I know what his personality is like very well, so it would be redundant to try and find out more about his personality from a list of dates!)

Well you probably don't know your own. The standard western zodiac we use is based on dividing the sky into 12 equal sections which don't actually fully align with the constellations for which they are named (the constellations aren't all the same size, the sun doesn't spend an equal amount of time in each one) and leaves out one constellation that is in fact in the zodiac line because otherwise there'd be 13 and it wouldn't align so nicely with the seasons. Libra also used to be in the same constellation as Scorpio until it was changed, I believe by the Romans... the constellations as we know them are only how humans have chosen to group the stars together. Keep the constellation of Ophiuchus, through which the sun does pass, and look at which actual constellation the sun is in at the time of your birth rather than which equal 1/12 section of sky and you'll very likely find that you got your sign wrong too.

Not to mention that this is only the solar zodiac and if you're insisting that people are ruled by the moon, you should surely be looking at their lunar zodiac... and again, are you using the standard western zodiac for that or are you looking at the actual constellations, all 13 of them?

Or are you using an Eastern zodiac like the Chinese one which is based on the year you were born using a lunar calendar and a different set of elements and seems to give a very very different set of predictions?

Goodness, it gets complicated...

I was with a moody Cancerian for a few years :
without a doubt he was affected -
actually I realised a full moon was imminent because of this -
quiet, withdrawn, uncommunicative.
Moon on the wane refreshed and restored him

I’m often surprised by people who do not know their partner’s
sign, or occasionally, their own.

Yes, like a spa break usually.

Are labour wards very calm and uneventful places at other times?

As I said, this year so far the full moons have coincided with start/end of calendar months.

Can you think of any reason that this might explain busier pubs?

I was about to say this, my DM is a midwife and has always said that the place goes haywire on a full moon!

The origin of the good ole fashioned word Lunatic would suggest a link to moon phases. Certainly when I worked in acute mental health the beds on the wards were always more in demand when there was a full moon.

Because trying to measure aggressive, rowdy, violent individuals on the streets isn’t exactly easy to collate. It’s based on qualitative accounts of officers out there every day who experience it. It’s absolutely a thing.

I had an ex like yours, I noticed it was when there was a full moon. Great guy usually but moody and closed off at the full moon, very weird.

Yup, and that the general public's knowledge of astronomy (even just as it relates to the moon, Earth and sun) is very limited.

Not intended as a reflection on anyone's intelligence - I'd rather be treated by hospital staff that don't understand the moon but do understand medicine than vice-versa!

I had heard that people born under the sign of cancer are affected by the full moon.

DH has always suffered from insomnia, but I have always maintained it is affected by the moon. However, his insomnia is worse when there is no moon at all.

Just shows how strong confirmation bias is.

If it was in any way related to tidal movement, why would there only be a change in behavior during a full moon?

This thread is ridiculous.

So how come it has never shown up on any data?

Full moon + weekend = busier and more chaotic night in the pub, in my 10 years experience working full moons in pubs. More fights, more random stupid behaviour.

Emergency Services here too, crime and volatile behaviour absolutely is affected by the full moon, happens far too frequently to be a coincidence

It took me years to realise my husband's change in behaviour was affected by the moon. When I did research it made sense about tidal movement and how the body, because of the water content, can also be affected. After 42 years I am convinced. I would love to dicuss this with a psychiatrist.
