Howling At The Moon
For
several years around Christmas time I have bought a copy of 'Old
Moore's Horoscope Daily Astral Diary' for my star sign of
Scorpio. Every day I read that day's prediction over my morning
coffee! Being an unusual character with a particularly unusual
lifestyle I don't believe I have EVER had an accurate
'prediction', and of course being a skeptic, don't believe a word
of any of it.
Nevertheless I have to confess that experience seems to have
suggested, on more than one occasion, that my low moods do
coincide with the lows, attributed in the book, to the phases of
the moon! Next to a sinusoidal graph for each month the book says
"Here I show you how the rhythms of the moon will affect you
this month. Like the tide, your energies and abilities will rise
and fall with its pattern. When it is above the centre line, go
for it, when it is below, you should be resting."
I am HIGHLY skeptical but am intrigued, since many species in
nature do exhibit gravitationally affected behaviors.
In an attempt to dispel my superstitious suspicions I have
decided to subjectively rate my daily mood and plot it against an
approximate representation of the 'Old Moore's' data.
Time may tell . . .
