Astrologers see no significance in today’s date. We follow planets, not calendars. But as it so happens, the Moon is full. Here, to celebrate this cosmic coincidence, are some fascinating facts. Doctors at Bradford Royal Infirmary found more than twice as many people are likely to need treatment for animal bites during Full Moon.
Official figures from British Telecom prove most of us spend longer on the phone and more time surfing the net when the Moon is full.

The outdoor light of a Full Moon equates to the light you would get indoors, from a 15 watt bulb. At half-full, the Moon gives out about one watt.

The Algonquin tribe of North America call the June Full Moon the Strawberry Moon. In Europe, it is often called the Rose Moon.

In the Botanical Gardens of Birmingham Alabama there’s a Sycamore tree that has been to the moon and back. It grew from a seed carried by Astronaut Stuart Roosa on Apollo 14.

Luna was a Roman moon goddess. 19th century mental health laws were known as “Lunacy” acts because the Victorians felt so sure that people with problems got worse at Full Moon.

A study in 1995, by psychologists at the State University in Georgia, Atlanta found people ate more food but drank less alcohol at Full Moon.

Earth has more than one moon! In 1986, scientists found a tiny second satellite. Cruinthe, our baby moon, is three miles wide with a horse-shoe shaped orbit lasting 770 years.

The Lunar cycle takes about 29.5 days. Male doctors often describe the menstrual cycle as a 28-day pattern but as all women will testify, it varies. Many feel sure it follows the rhythm of the Moon... almost exactly.

At full Moon and new Moon, the Earth, Sun and Moon line up, producing a gravitational effect that brings high tides across the globe.

FRIDAY 13th

The AXA insurance group found drivers are 50% LESS likely to crash on a Friday that falls on the 13th. People try harder to be careful then.

Due to a quirk in the calendar, Friday is more likely to fall on the thirteenth of the month than any other day... by a factor of 0.02 per cent.

On Friday 13th, 2000, 150 students in Hampton, USA spent the day deliberately walking under ladders and spilling salt carelessly. No ill effects were reported but intriguingly, 58 just couldn’t bring themselves to smash a mirror!

On Friday 13th, October, 1307, King Philip of France rounded up and executed several thousand members of the Knights Templar.

In hospitals, airlines and hotels the numbered beds, rows of seats or floors will often go straight from 12 to 14.

According to the Bible, there were 13 people at the last supper - after which Jesus died on a Friday.

Ancient zodiacs vary, but ALL contain 12 signs. That’s why 13, in every culture, has come to symbolise the breaking of a perfect circle.

But this is going to be a *really great* showing of it -
Dupont Circle is an...interesting...place.
And I'm going w/ that guy that I met & a few other friends, again - I haven't decided if it was more fun to have met him at the last or if it will be better to actually begin the night with him
Good times, either way

TWO moons? TWO moons?

Cat, you have just rocked my world. It's good for me, I'm sure!

Cruinthe (pronounced kroyn-ye) is a name used to describe an indigenous people of Britian-- the Picts.

As these links show, Cruinthe is not a true Moon of Earth at all, although from our planet's surface, it might look that way. It's an asteroid that also orbits the Sun, and whose orbit intersects ours in an unusual way, on a 770-year cycle. It does, however, become an Earth Moon for a couple thousand years at a time, before escaping Earth's gravity again to orbit independently -- a kind of part-time moon.

Here's a scientific explanation of Cruinthe, with links: http://www.earthsky.com/2002/es021010.html http://www.earthsky.com/2002/esmi021010.html

And here's an astrological explanation, with links: http://www.achernar.btinternet.co.uk/cruithne.html

Cat, do you have an opinion? I find the astrological possibilities fascinating-- what would be its influence when it is nearest to the Earth, the last time being 1985?

Cruithne takes 770 years to complete its horseshoe orbit. Every 385 years, it comes to its closest point to Earth, some 9.3 million miles (15 million kilometers) away. Its next close approach to Earth comes in 2285.

*beginning to speak in unintelligible dribble, eating flowers, and standing on my head in the middle of mcdonalds*

the picture at this link where the yellow goes around cruithne like a hand holding the earth between two fingers . .. looks just like something i figured out the other day about healing. my hand is her hand, and if i heal my hand, i heal her hand. my hand was in just this position when i figured it out, and i was thinking about shadow animals, and what kind of shadow my hand would make in this position . . .

I agree with you re Cainer is premature in calling it that.

Good enough, Cat! I have no real opinion on asteroids so far yet, as the only place where I've begun to look at them so far is in my natal chart.

Yes, Aphrodite, the article is cool, and so is Cainer's site, the Cruinthe factoid notwithstanding! I like his debunking the signs section. We should post it on Lindaland.

Well, this full moon seems to be especially important for us Sagittarians born within 5 days of December 14. I was born on the 16 and could feel this moon coming as early as Monday. It seemed that I could settle for nothing less than the bottom line and everything was about setting things in action, not just sitting around talking about it. LOL....I was kind of a pistol at work.

At any rate, as things began to get tense, I realized it was time for me to meditate on this moon. Last night I grabbed my journal, lit my candles and sage, and meditated to what this year has brought so far and what I need to accomplish. It is said that moon will, along with the move out of Gemini that Saturn has been living in, opposing the daylights out of us, help us to see our relationships in a full light.

Ironically, I spent a long while talking to my mate and finally expressing to him just how happy he makes me. It has taken me two years to remove those "skeptical" rose colored glasses and see him for the down to earth, wonderful man that he is. For a Sag, having this moon also light up my 4th house, conjuncting my Venus and getting close to Pluto made me even more aware of how family oriented I am.

Hmmmm, this morning I feel really blessed!

I lit sage on the full moon too. I have a small bundle of dried leaves wound together with red and blue twine.

Your mediation is open and beautiful. I can really feel the truth within it. Thank you for sharing.

posted June 16, 2003 01:39 PM            

Yeah, I would love to someday have kids with him. He's a great guy!

Aphrodite,

I love the smell of white sage. I have loose white sage and will be picking up some of the bundles while I am out in Phoenix next week. I am hoping to get out to Sedona for a day. It is so beautiful. Thank you for your compliments on my mediation.

Anyway I really enjoyed this post of your's and am sure everyone here will too

It has always been mine and felt that is was
'the' lucky number, lately I am thinking it is only so for the few of us who know it. Like something with which are born.
