i didn't realise so many people could be influenced by the moon?!

do doctors issue prescriptions saying "stay in doors on the 28th?" things like that?

if the moon-theory works and has science to back it up - i do have one question/comment...if you know it's coming and it happens consistently- or if people who work in asylums know its coming - i just hope they are prepared for it...

does it work cos we contain the same matter that makes up stars too?

I don't know how it works I just know that between 11th and 15th this month are my worst days of the month

Funny you should say that, because I'm having a horribly miserable day so far.
Gonna have a bbq though, so that should cheer me up, nothings makes me happier than a massive flame.

Studies in Russian hospitals have shown that people bleed more during the full moon, even when undergoing exactly the same surgical procedures. There seems to be more fluid and more pressure in the body. Increased pressure in the brain might well affect people who are sensitive.

In astrology there is a lesser-known concept called "void of course", which may be of interest.

We'll start with a few basics. The Moon travels against the background of the Zodiac very quickly. As it goes, it forms aspects (particular angles) with other planets. (Yes, the Moon isn't a planet, but it's called one in astrology; even the Sun is called one.) Eventually, as it makes its way through a sign, it won't make any more aspects until it moves into the next sign. This is called being "void of course", and only lasts a few minutes to a few hours.

It is believed that anything undertaken while the Moon is void of course will be fruitless, coming to nothing. On the other hand, a deliberately risky or controversial venture might do well to be begun during this time, because your detractors will come to nothing.

This site gives a good lunar calendar telling the phase and age of the Moon, and when it passes into each sign. Times when it becomes void of course are shown in red and marked VOC; the void-of-course period ends when the Moon enters the next sign, shown in green. It also explains about void-of-course and the traditional interpretation of each lunar day.

The next Manchester TM meet-up is on lunar day 28, which is described as a good day for meeting friends and getting to know influential people. All right!

Nope but we all ensure its written in the diary and ensure as when required sedative medication is in stock

It doesnt affect staff generally, but residents with mental illness and dementia for sure, but like i said the new moon is stronger in its effect rather than the full moon, which generally creates lucidity in dementia. Ohh some happy memories

I didn't realise so many people could be influenced by mumbo jumbo.
