full moon?...bite me

Do you feel like your pet fish has gone bonkers? Did you accidentally throw nunchukcs at your boyfriend and gave him a concussion? Did your girlfriend bring up the sentence of death latst night? You know, the scary one with five little words: “Where-is-this-relationship-going”? (Jeff, you are a genius!) or have you been picking up very mixed messages from the universe lately?

Well! As the lords of the skies inform me, last night we experienced the most intense full moon of the year! The full moon effect, or full moon madness, if you will, is ancient news. Every now and then, you hear some corny radio anchor rambling on and on about how full moons tend to emotionally derange individuals... a dull report which is generally followed by a number of eager listeners calling with their exaggerated sad little stories.

The Sagittarius full moon, which happened last night, is no different!
It probably just got a lot of hype because, as thinking individuals, we need some sort of justification for life tragedies that transcend our control. Is it possible that when psychology fails to model our psychotic behavior, we conveniently turn to the skies for answers? I mean, let’s be honest here, the reason your boyfriend left you is not because the planets misaligned that evening, it’s probably because he finally realized you had secretly planned out his life for the next 15 years… or, perhaps, your ass really did look too big in that dress!
