Perna, I agree. The full moon was once a time of celebration - and like most things of that era, other things have superimposed them purposely with the idea that they are bad or negative.
"All the workers would gear themselves up for those weeks as they always proved to be difficult times."
What we create in our minds manifest in our lives - it has been proven time and time again. So, if you think the moon has such sway over you, indeed it shall be so.
Rest easy, all, this too shall pass.
