Mythology

Moon is adorned with a place equivalent to a God.Moon is the one of the fourteen jewels which come out from the churning of the sea . Lord Shiva adorned moon on his forehead.During the churning of the sea poison was spilled out.Due to this the existence of  living  creature was in danger.In order to save life ,lord shiva gulped this poison .This resulted in generation of tremendous amount of heat in his body .In order to pacify this heat ,he placed moon on his forehead .

According to one more legend moon belongs to the lineage of saint Atri.Anusuyeeya ,the wife of saint Atri had to face a challenge regarding her character .To test Anusuyeeya Brahma,Vishu and Shiva were turned into infants.When sati Anusuyeeya was able to give them their original self ,the trio took birth as her offsprings .Thus moon was born of brahma ,Dattatrey a  from Vishnu and Durvasa was born from Shiva .

Influences of  Moon

I am going to discuss  over some more examples, just to show you how extensive the lunar influence actually is. First of all, plants need the Moon's pretense to maintain their good health and full lifespan. We now know that plant's metabolism uses photosynthesis which is basically the transformation of light rays into combustible chemical energy and these light rays must correspond to a certain wavelength which fortunately enough the Sun and the Moon's rays provide. Lunar rays can be considered as a source of powerful energy and these rays work as catalysts in various natural processes in all living organisms on this planet. Animals for example feel this energy very strongly and certain species live according to lunar cycles, for example regulating their mating or hunting rhythms to the frequency of the lunar cycle. Certain fish for example only mate during a very particular lunar phase (gibbous) during the month of October. On land, koala bears only eat during the waning cycle of the Moon and many many other examples can be found of routines based firmly on the lunar cycles. I am now going to move on to explain how these lunar cycles affect us as human beings . The Moon acts upon us all and on many different levels. First of all it affects our birth as studies have proved that women's menstrual cycles follow the Moon's phases and the births of newborn babies fall in line with this period of fertility. Menstruation is the preparation of the female body for pregnancy and ovulation is made possible by the presence of a hormone called LH which is made available from the 4th day of the cycle and after receiving this hormonal signal the body transforms itself ready to receive the fertilized egg, the human embryo. When fertilization does not take place menstruation serves to clean the body of the uterus' mucus. Many scientists have concentrated on investigating the role of the lunar cycle in menstruation and have remarked on the number of menstrual cycles which begin during a full or new Moon. Men's fertility also seems to follow these same lunar cycles as many more fertilization's take place at the rise of a new Moon than at any other time of the month. These cycles are also reflected in the ticking of our internal clocks, our day's seem to be timed much more in keeping with Lunar rather than Solar cycles.

One interesting scientific experiment consisted of placing a person under observation and in an underground shelter far from light and any means of measuring time. The scientists noticed that the subject quickly adopted a rhythm which was based entirely on a Lunar cycle. The Moon was seen to act directly upon us, it conditions our emotions, our feelings and our responses and on an astrological level the Moon serves as a catalyst, concentrating and strengthening the influence of the many other planets of our personal Zodiac.
