Weather By The Moon There is even a right time and a wrong time in Hesiod to have sex: then is when the goats are at their fattest, when the wine tastes best, women are most lascivious, but the men’s strength fails them most, it shrivels them, knees and heads alike. This corresponded to early July in our calendar, when women are most desirous but men are in their most driedup condition! For the opposite case, daytime around 12th September; the feel of a man’s body changes and he goes much lighter’ And closer to our period, in 1688 an author wrote the double conjunction of Venus and the Moon produces extreme lubricity, brings venereal disease, and causes women of quality to become enamored of menservants.’ 50
MADNESS, ILL-WINDS, AND THE MOON On the 24 th June 1994, a tremendous thunderstorm over London flooded accident and emergency departments. Ten times as many people as would normally be seen for breathing problems were registered in the 30 hours after the storm and almost half those affected had never suffered asthma before. Many hospitals ran out of inhalers and drugs, and staff were stretched to the limit. On top of this there were over 50 ground strikes of lightning just prior to the deluge. Interestingly, the 24 th June was also the day of the June Full Moon. It was also two days after the Perigee. Much data has been collected connecting weather and human activities, from the increase of domestic disputes and violence around the Full and Perigee Moon to the frequency of the borrowing of non-fiction in public libraries. No-one has explained why these astronomical facts could be relevant. Scientists, psychiatrists and physicians have scratched their heads looking for more obscure explanations. Although the Full Moon alone has long been said to account for more incidents of epilepsy, crime and heart attacks, mostly these reports are dismissed as folklore, because medical science would wish that modern thinking has gone beyond the primitive belief that the moon can make you sick. The word lunacy is self evident. As recently as 1842 in Britain, the Lunacy Act declared officially that a lunatic was someone who was ‘rational during the first two phases 51
