Do Moon Really Influence Emotions?

It is a widely accepted fact that the Moon influences the tides in the water bodies. Human beings have deep and serious connection with moon since ancient times. Moon can make you go emotionally unstable. It possibly wouldn’t turn you into a werewolf but it definitely possesses a strong connection with your inner being.

Moon has a striking effect on the water bodies and since our bodies are more of a portion of water, it is pretty obvious how moon influences us too.

In Vedic Astrology, Moon is considered a regulator of the emotional life of a human. It is believed that the placement of moon affects the person’s emotional tendencies.

Sometimes you have trouble sleeping or you feel anxious or you have trouble concentrating, this all can boil down to the influence of moon & the way it plays with you. It is very common to feel this way during full moon.

Let’s read on to find out the Major Effects of Moon on Humans:

  • A full moon can spark a violent behavior in you:
    It is noticed that during the full moon people act violently and aggressively. More criminal cases are noticed during this time. The person with violent tendencies finds it difficult to control their behavior and as a result they are more susceptible to their feelings. The full moon exerts considerable influence on emotions & inclinations; making you more susceptible to certain tendencies & behavior.
  • The full moon can make you insomniac
    It has been researched exhaustively by psychologists that any kind of sleep disorder, particularly insomnia, influences the behavior negatively & to varying degrees. We all have, at some point of time; have experienced the negative effects of sleep. This phenomenon has also been observed by astrologers. They have observed remarkable increase in cases of insomnia during full moon.
  • A full moon can make you judgmental:
    Moon plays with the emotions. Given it closeness to the Earth and its subsequent effect on the gravitational field of the Earth & tidal waves of the ocean, Moon, both astrologically and scientifically exerts heavy influence on our planet. Vedic Astrologers also believe that during this time you start judging people by their characteristic or by their activities more than you normally do. During No Moon, the skies are gripped with exponential darkness, and hence make us more inclined towards certain negative proclivities.
  • A full moon can make you feel anxious
    A full moon brings with it a lot of energy which can make you feel emotional & perchance highly sensitive too. This also intensifies your dreams & can lead to a spurt in anxiety related tendencies.
  • A full moon can ruin your relationship
    A full moon brings a lot of energy, romantic mood and makes you feel loved but along with it, it also brings sudden mood changes and a combative nature in you which can in turn ruin your relationship.
