How the Moon affects your Pet.

The following is by Astrologer Dana Haynes. I found the information useful as well as interesting. As there are six phases I will make this a two part blog. I did notice this morning that the Moon was full and beautiful. I love a Full Moon, makes me what to howl. I probably have been known to do it on occasion. Full Moon: The Full Moon influences the psyche of animals with noticeable intensity. It has been said to increase chaos. Vet staff and animal control keep busy during this phase. Dogs and wolves are known to howl during a full moon phase, birds become agitated and disoriented. Cats hide. The full Moon tends ,to rattle humans and pets. New Moon: For a sensitive animal, the New Moon, not unlike the Full Moon, supports intentions and therefore it is time to change old habits. It is time to tune into natures vibrations, which many cats, dogs or other domestic and wild animals may do. Animals seem to naturally tune into the New Moon phase, understanding it is a time to chill even though it can be a challenge. Animals senses are heightened at this time. Super Moon: Unlike a Full Moon and New Moon, this phase is when an alignment of the Sun, Moon and the Earth called perigee-syzygy occur when the Moon is at its closest to the Earth (perigee). Animals tend to be ultra sensitive during this time of a very big Full Moon. Like humans, the power of the electromagnetic fields during a Full Moon phase interacts with our own magnetic field increasing the ability to sense or feel the stress around us. Animals tend to notice the interaction quicker as it is part of their survival instincts to stay away from danger or snuggle with heir humans or caregivers. I do notice my own furry babies tend to act different during the Full Moon, some become a little nuttier and others tend to be more stick to my hip. We will finish this up tomorrow. And yes Sophia there is such a thing as a Blue Moon. Happy Cat.
