Does a full moon make you do crazy things? What about a lunar eclipse? We will be experiencing a lunar eclipse Monday night on the West Coast and early morning Tuesday on the East Coast.
As far as physical dangers, a lunar eclipse is safe to watch with the naked eye. Where as, a solar eclipse requires protective eyewear.
There is no medical data that eclipses have a physical effect on people. But, many believe eclipses are capable of producing psychological effects. There are beliefs that the moon can alter people’s behavior, their health, wealth or even their luck.
Many believe a good moon position will bring you fortunes such as, honor, fame, spiritual energy, financial fortune, charming personality, good health and balanced physique.
Others believe a moon in poor position could cause heart related disease, breathing trouble, coughs, colds, insomnia, stress, impatience, insecurity, indecisiveness, fear and mood swings, even leading to mental imbalance and “lunacy.”
And lastly some feel the moon’s position can help or hurt hormones, a womean's monthly cycle and fertility.
Whether you believe these theories or not, this lunar eclipse is something you might want to see for the pure nature of it. In Atlanta, you’ll have to get up early or stay up late. The eclipse can be seen in the Atlanta sky and it is expected to last 3½ hours if skies are clear. Total eclipse begins at 11:41 p.m. PST Monday or 2:41 a.m. EST Tuesday. The whole time when the moon is completely inside Earth's shadow will last about an hour.
The next total lunar eclipse will be visible by North America in April 15, 2014.
