The moon effect

The Full Moon is always something I eagerly look forward to, in anticipation that this time, I will take the best pictures! For some, the moon (full or new) is an opportunity to get rid of bad habits, start something new, or just get excited! There are people that really get affected by the moon cycles and can even become a bit volatile or ‘loony’ (from the word ‘luna’, the Latin word for ‘moon’).

And then there are people who swear by gardening by the moon and go as far as biodynamic gardening methods.

‘The full Moon has been praised as the most beautiful celestial body and has inspired many a story and song. During a full Moon, we see it at its maximum light, with Earth being directly between the Sun and Moon. This phase lasts four days and is when the Moon pulls in the highest tides, pulls moisture to the surface of the soil, and starts to push plant sap downwards to direct energy to the roots. A lot of plants and other living things reach peak energy now, and this is possibly why some people tend to go a bit ‘crazy’ on a full Moon.’
