the upcoming full moon...
ok, seems there's lots of weirdness on my friend's live journals... could it have anything to do with the upcoming full moon? the Goa Gil part I am hitting this weekend here has an interesting write up for this Full Moon:
Since the dawn of history, the forces of the moon have affected everything from tidal patterns to physical cycles of all types, from patterns of human ritual to the inner workings of consciousness.
While it is well known that the cycle from one full moon to the next takes 29 and a half days, the fact that the moon changes its distance from Earth from 350,000km to 490,000km through a 27day cycle is less known. This change in distance affects the gravitational effect of the moon on Earth by roughly 30%, and the size of its appearance by 13%. Its effect on humans is correspondingly huge.
Every 13.5 months, there are 14 cycles of full and new moons, and 15 cycles of close and far moons, causing 4 close full moonsﾓ annually. These especially powerful close full moonsﾓ change their season of appearance every year as part of a larger 9year cycle, after which it will again appears on the same month as it did 9 years ago. This year was blessed in that the four closest moons all appeared during the outdoor summer season; something that won't happen for another 9years. The climax of this lunar Darshan will be offered on 9/18 by the queen of all moons, the Harvest Moon, celebrated in every corner of the world since ancient times. And on this night, with the queen at her fullest in 9years, the doors of perception will be cleansed and secrets of the universe revealed.
THIS is starting to explain a lot with you guys... ;-) heck, even I am feeling it this week. haven't been sleeping much... just waking up at 6am...
good luck and enjoy the full moon however you can!
