Full Moon mood

Is anyone else having a rather ‘meh’ weekend? I know the weather has been lovely but I can really feel it’s a full moon and was wondering if anyone else feels it too. My anxiety has been high this weekend, could be a coincidence but my mood is heavy so I did a Google et voila! It’s a Full moon tonight 😶 it’s almost as though my logical mind sends me an out of office whenever there’s a FM.

Maybe it’s just me lol…

Definitely not just you. Energy is yang and higher at a full moon, more arguments, more crime, more going on, the police have even done studies on it. This one's also an eclipse so the effects are even stronger.

In 2 weeks when it's a new moon also known as a dark moon, you will probably notice the energy around you is less intense and quieter.

MysteriousMonkey · 15/05/2022 21:31

Yes me and for no reason... Well until now!

@Neverendingdust OH my gosh I have been the same ! I feel so suddenly down and also anxiety gone made since last night, I thought not Winning Euro Vision made me feel this way, I don’t even care about about Euro Vision !!

husband came back from a trip this evening and thought I didn’t love him anymore because I couldn’t even be bothered to talk to him very much LOL

I really hope so…

Thankfully it’s not just me then!

I’m sure there’s plenty of people whom it has the complete opposite effect on, how I envy them. Hopefully the mood will lighten in the next two weeks @FoiledByTheInsect I’ll be counting down the days!

Is this really a thing?! That explains so much if it is. I'm off to do some googling.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 15/05/2022 21:59

That's so weird. I was feeling fine the rest of the weekend. Went to the gym with my friend this morning which made me feel good then this afternoon and evening I've been feeling really irritable and restless!

Whosthebestbabainalltheworld · 15/05/2022 21:59

Wow! I was really down last night for absolutely no reason. Even asking myself if I’m getting depressed or something. I bet this is it.

I felt similar to the point the air in my bedroom felt thin, almost like a panic attack which I’ve only ever had once. It took a good while to snap out of it, I can only imagine how utterly void and compelling depression must be, especially if just a full moon makes me feel this way.

Then there was a serious car crash outside my apartment in the evening and a huge traffic jam followed…

I've always believed in full moon moods. In our family we have joked about DH and the full moon for years. He turns into an even bigger twat than usual, to the point I avoid making family arrangements involing him around a full moon.

firefly123 · 15/05/2022 22:12

Yes been feeling really meh this weekend too!!

garlicandsapphires · 15/05/2022 22:18

@AceofPentacles can you elaborate on the month being a humdinger?
I’ve not noticed a drop in mood particularly this weekend but try and do a simple ritual every full moon - letting go and manifesting.
I nearly always find that the things I want to manifest come to pass, though often not in the way I was anticipating!

Robin233 · 15/05/2022 22:20

It's a blood moon apparently.
Think I started to dip from Thursday pm .....

Topgub · 15/05/2022 22:25

You can feel its a full moon?

What a load of rubbish.

Hope your mood lifts though.

ParsleyRosemarySage · 15/05/2022 22:43

It’s a super flower blood moon, apparently. If anyone fancies getting up at 4.30 am to watch it, here’s the details news.sky.com/story/total-lunar-eclipse-blood-moon-to-appear-tonight-in-the-uk-heres-when-you-can-see-it-12613597

Yeah this weekend has been a bit meh as well for me especially dealing with a toddler who's behaviour was no different to a ware-wolf. I actually thought af was due but realised I have another 2 weeks so that can't be the reason why I feel so down and want to hide in my shell.

HRTQueen · 15/05/2022 23:03

we no longer use the word now but lunatic comes from the word luna

as it’s been a belief for many hundreds of years the moon can impact people’s moods

my experience in mh yes it does for some but more so women than men

my period is due just after and I’m so regular so hard to tell but my mood had been very low this weekend until the last few hours

lollipoprainbow · 15/05/2022 23:09

Me too !!

GalactatingGoddess · 15/05/2022 23:10

Oh my goodness I didn't even consider this could be a thing. I've come on my period 3 days early and I'm never really irregular, crazy! Also been very flat today.

Organictangerine · 15/05/2022 23:10

Yes I’ve been very anxious and snappy all weekend, that said I’m also full of PMT!
