Cicero,
I’ve been quite attentive to the effects of full moons on
a variety of things. The crossing of the celestial equator
added a new dimension.
Full moon and being on the celestial equator will happen at
about the same time in this instance... hmmmm
Alignment of the planets, as well. I think I read somewhere that Venus and Jupiter are very close to each other now, and also pretty close to the sun. I haven’t been following this, but again planetary alignment with sun and moon can produce record high tides, and presumably gravitational stresses.
