The ancients tell us everything is connected. Today NASA provides daily Solar weather reports complete with warnings of possible communication difficulties as a result of high solar activity. The fluctuating energy of the sun is not the only influence that can be measured. Lunar energy can also be measured. According to the ancients lunar energy influences the mind and therefore how the world is seen and acted upon. Such fluctuation has a major bearing on moods and moods have a bearing behaviour.

Below is a graph on which individual lunar sensitivity levels, over the course of one month, can be shown.

The numbers across the top of this graph represent the 12 zodiac signs, or the path the moon travels during the course of one sidereal month. It takes 27 days, 7 ¾ hours to make the circuit, so each column represents about 2.25 days in time.

The rows from zero to eight represent levels of intensity with zero being the lowest and 8 being the maximum level of received energy. Line 4 represents complete balance or normalcy, line 3 represents below normal and line 5 represents high normal. Lines 2 and 6 are buffer lines between the upper and lower danger zones.

Extreme lows or highs in energy being received can result in drastic changes in how the world is seen by the individual experiencing these changes in energy. When energy levels get into the range of 7 or 8, rational thinking tends to leave us and we become temporarily blinded by intense light. At these levels the feelings associated with our consciousness of the moment can be totally irrational: motivated by the notion that absolutely anything can be achieved, as if feelings of enhanced ability over take any sense of caution.

Likewise, lines 1 and zero are equally dangerous, only this time this is not because of extremely positive feelings; rather it is because of negative feelings. Either extreme is dangerous. However, neither has to be experienced because neither has to do with the reality of the present environment. How shifting degrees of energy can be dealt with will be described in another article.
