The phases of the moon are caused by the relative positions of the earth, sun, and moon. The moon goes around the earth, on average, in 27 days 7 hours 43 minutes.
The moon affects many aspects of nature on earth. These effects occur in fish, shellfish, insects, mammals (including humans), and plants. Shellfish renew their shells, undergo regeneration and sexual activity in accordance with the lunar tidal cycle. Animal metabolosm, physical activity, aggression and sexual behavior are dramatically increased in many species at the new and full moon phases. Predators like the wolf are active at the full moon phase when prey is more visible at night.
With proper timing, knowledge and a lunar phase calendar we can learn to live in harmony with these cosmic forces and with our natural environment.
