hi everyone, I have a quick question if anyone can answer. Why is that people get scared of the full moon? Do things really get crazy at that time or is that a mere myth or something? I am just curious.

Well.. the Moon controls the tides of the earth (not to mention the ebb and flow of menstrual tides). Emergency rooms fill up during the Full Moon. People tend to have more accidents (minor and major).

Plus there's the folk lore stuff... Vampires, witches, and Werewolves... OH MY!

The word 'lunacy' comes from the Latin word for Moon, and means insanity.

I don't know anyone who is afraid of the full moon. To me it's BEAUTIFUL, and feels so wonderful to my Moon in Cancer.

Luna = Moon in Spanish
