Can you tell when it is a full moon?

Absolutely. Ex teacher and agree about the behaviour off children at these times. For sure Luna is the root word for lunatic

Janejudge Totally agree with you. I get super sensitive and emotional when a full moon is approaching. Also, I can never sleep. I am wide awake tossing & turning.

I treated a psychiatrist recently who said he'd had a stressful week, with lots of psychotic episodes. I said "Well yes, there's a full moon". He looked puzzled and I said the moon affects the tides and the tides affect us, we're 70%-80% water, as Castillemon said. Everything's interconnected. Plus the word lunatic comes from the Latin word for moon.

When I worked in A&E we always knew when it was a full moon as the place was invariably madder than usual.

No, not really, I just checked, Saturday is a full harvest moon, with a minor eclipse.

We also could see shooting stars at the moment, which are small bits of Halley's Comet.

(But expect rain.)

Ooh, interesting Mwdebbie!

When ‘on call’ as a midwife, full moon nights inevitably involved going to several women whose labours had started with their waters breaking. Always a busy night!

When teaching, I always knew when it was a full moon 😂. The normally well behaved pupils acted daft. Mind you, the same went for high winds, snow and wasps in the classroom

I said exactly the same thing tonight to DH, when I spotted the full moon when driving home. I found it all a bit eerie. 🌕

🤣🤣 Jane.
Ok, so maybe having the grandchildren to stay was a bad idea 👻

This is the build up 😂

When I used to work with people with conditions like Alzheimers we always knew - everyone used to get a bit 'edgy'. There was once a brawl in a home I was visiting between two ladies. Lady A took offence that Lady B was ignoring her. Lady B was quite put out that a strange woman was trying to hang onto her arm. Lady A was adamant they were life long friends. The more Lady B tried to get way the more Lady A hung on, getting faster and faster until Lady B turned and gave Lady A a wallop round the ear. There was also a man with severe brain damage who used to walk the corridors all night when there was a full moon. Never spoke or interacted with anyone, just walked.

the late night radio callers become more odd than usual.
many presenters comment on it.

I love look at a full 🌝. Has no effect on my mood other than to lift it if I am having a bad day!!

Yes,as it shines right across my bed. Absolutely love it and get up and make a wish .

oh lordy bohemian

Well, there were tears but no murder. I am going to go and have a nap as I am exhausted by today!

Oh yes. When my three daughters were younger and all living at home with me, we all would start menstruating on or close to a full moon. Any would be visitors would be warned to stay away during this time!

I can tell when there’s a full moon if I look at it. Otherwise, no.

Some farmers plant according to the moon's cycles. We have a book about it.

I'm sure, just as the tides ebb and flood, as we're composed about 60% water (70+% in our brain), it could affect us.

There’s a reason for the word, ‘lunatic’ and it is always a beautiful sight but definitely unsettling when there is a full moon.

When I had cats, they were unusually skittish around the time of the full moon.

Yes I can. I get very anxious.

I don’t sleep at all well at full moon times

and now Adele is on the radio I’m worried there might be tears and a murder <light heated>
