The simple answer to this question is YES!!!
The above picture I shot last night at 3am during the partial eclipse, which turned out to be not all that noticeable.
But the experience of watching the moon for 30mins was far more noticeable in the way that it energised me.
I didn't stop working on the Steem Masters website till 7am!
The website is pretty much there now by the way. A few minor tweaks still going on.... but please feel free to check it out here and contact me on steemit.chat if you're interested to learn more: https://sammystonehill.wixsite.com/steemmasters
So what's all this moon stuff about then?
I have been told by personal friends who work in hospitals that their A&E departments are most active on the night of the full. More energy, more madness, more accidents. This I do believe is where the legend of the werewolf was born.

Heightened energy means heightened connection
There is that which can be seen and that which remains (for most of us) to be unseen. All I know is that here in Bali, aside this living valley filled with ancient temples half consumed by the jungle, there are powerful energies around. Sometimes to assist. Sometimes to torment.
My daughter Luna had her placenta buried next to our home because it is believed here that four souls enter the womb at the moment of conception, while only one gets to become physical. The other three are trapped within the placenta and will bring only torment to the physical sibling...
unless the correct ceremony is performed and the three sous are free to assist in the joyful manner they would prefer.
Having lived here for almost two years now I can unquestionably say that this place has changed my life and on nights when the moon is full and bright as it was yesterday, showing me all it's impossible specs of light in the monitor of my camera, there is a heightened sense of perception and wonder.
When zoomed in this close you can see it moving through the shot at a much faster speed than you would imagine.
And what the hell are those specs of light anyway???
I had hoped to buy some land here in this magical land full of spirits and legends, to put down some roots for a while, but the current value of steem is not permitting.
Not a problem.
I do believe the spirits here are friendly ones and currently helping me very much...
and I am completely content to go with the flow :)
