Sunday, March 29, 2020. Begin Herb Sowing Week ✦ Bio-Dynamic Life ✦ Today the first quarter waxing moon completely leaves Taraus and enters completely into Gemini.

✦ Today marks the start of a 4 day stretch for sowing herbs and propagating flower growth.

✦ Do your self-care today, oils and massages, coloring hair will even take better.

✦ Hold off on watering just today and tomorrow. Come Tuesday the 31 start watering and you can start sowing leafy vegetables also.

✦ April 1 the Moon moves into Cancer is this is the last day to sow some vegetables before hanging up the planting campaign for a while.

This week is one of giving and thanks, don’t take anything. Whatever you harvest this week will likely ripen wrong or not at all or will not keep well.

We find out who our team is moving forward through challenges. ✦ We all have the same blood, brothers are made in foxholes and no other place.

Lunar Study

 

Ω Organisms have evolved to cope with geophysical cycles of different period lengths. In this review, we focus on the adaptations of animals to the lunar cycle, specifically, on the occurrence of biological rhythms with monthly (circalunar) or semi-monthly (circasemilunar) period lengths.

The systematic experimental investigation, starting in the early twentieth century, has allowed scientists to distinguish between mythological belief and scientific facts concerning the influence of the lunar cycle on animals.

These studies revealed that marine animals of various taxa exhibit circalunar or circasemilunar reproductive rhythms.

Some of these rely on endogenous oscillators (circalunar or circasemilunar clocks), whereas others are directly driven by external cues, such as the changes in nocturnal illuminance.

Ω Bipolar Diorder’s relationship with lunar/tide cycles

The belief that the full moon can excite and disturb human behavior is deeply rooted in culture, language and clinical lore, but it tends to be regarded as a myth by the scientific community because it is not supported by epidemiological research.^{a, b}

In their natural habitats, other species of primates generally do become more active at night under a full moon, and there are numerous examples of lunar cycles in other types of animals.^{c, d} 

In 17 patients with rapid cycling bipolar disorder, time-series analyses detected synchronicities between mood cycles and three lunar cycles that modulate the amplitude of the moon’s semi-diurnal gravimetric tides: the 14.8-day spring–neap cycle, the 13.7-day declination cycle and the 206-day cycle of perigee-syzygies (‘supermoons’).

The analyses also revealed shifts among 1:2, 1:3, 2:3 and other modes of coupling of mood cycles to the two bi-weekly lunar cycles.

These shifts appear to be responses to the conflicting demands of the mood cycles’ being entrained simultaneously to two different bi-weekly lunar cycles with slightly different periods.

Measurements of circadian rhythms in body temperature suggest a biological mechanism through which transits of one of the moon’s semi-diurnal gravimetric tides might have driven the patients’ bipolar cycles, by periodically entraining the circadian pacemaker to its 24.84-h rhythm and altering the pacemaker’s phase-relationship to sleep in a manner that is known to cause switches from depression to mania.

The force that emanates from the moon whose variation is subject to all three types of lunar cycles is gravity. If the associations between lunar cycles and mood cycles are causal in nature, they would indicate that: (1). cycles in the moon’s gravimetric tides govern the course of a type of bipolar illness; (2). humans possess a biological system that can detect and respond to lunar gravimetric cycles directly, or indirectly through an intervening variable; and (3). operations of this system are part of the mechanism that underlies the illness.

The findings would also raise the possibility that modern light pollution has substantially altered the operations of this system. More broadly, the findings would open a new perspective on humans’ place in their cosmic neighborhood. [2,a]

I have learned a good amount from these guy’s interviews and wanted to pass along his very accurate (I believe) discussion on how this COVID-19 is going to actually play out.

 

 

Tough motivation in the face of tough times. Kill your inner bitch! 😀
