Got to laugh:
"The moon affects the tides on earth," he said.
"As the earth spins on its axis, the moon has a pull on the tides and on people, who are mostly made up of water.
"As the moon builds momentum and increases fullness, people start feeling edgy as the pressure builds up in their head.
"Because of the emotional intensity of Scorpio as a sign, this particular full moon will put people's emotions on a knife edge. Many people will feel things more passionately."

Abell himself said: "Lunar pull is no more than the weight of a flea" because the earth's pull is 5,012 times as strong as the moon's...

However reasonable Lieber's (1978b) biological tide theory (effects of Moon's gravitational pull on the human organism) might appear at first glance, it has been dismissed by astronomers (Abell, 1979), biologists (Criss & Marcum, 1981), physicists (Culver & lanna, 1979), and psychologists (Campbell, 1982). As these and other critics pointed out, the earth's pull is 5,012 times as strong as the moon's. Lunar pull is no more than the weight of a flea (Abell, 1979) or a drop of sweat (Winkless & Browning, 1975).
