Full Moon Madness – Time to Act Naughty

Posted byVanya Wryter ConsultingPosted inLifestyleTags:, , , ,

From March 13 to 14, the lunar eclipse made the news. The sun, Earth, and moon aligned, and the Earth cast a shadow on the moon, causing it to have a reddish hue. This event is sometimes called the “blood moon.”

On eclipse nights, some people claim to have insomnia or restlessness because the gravitational pull affects circadian rhythms.

Certain myths also abound during eclipses, such as the fear that it is unsafe to go out during an eclipse. Or the belief that food and water left out during an eclipse is unsafe to eat.

For me, the lunar eclipse was the perfect reason to stay up late so I could view such a rare occurrence. Of course, it was a school night, so it sure felt naughty to be awake when I should have been in bed! However, the reward was the priceless sight of a blood moon.
