Is it true that the phase of the moon affects human mood and behaviour?
Partly. Evidence on the lunar-mood link is mixed and mostly indirect: a Cleveland Clinic overview reports human studies are conflicting and largely anecdotal, a large Queensland police-call study found no support for the lunar hypothesis, and a cardiac surgery study found moon phase did not affect outcomes, while one Indian study reports lunar phases affect stock returns.
