The moon depending on where it is at your time of day can affect whether or not there’s high or low tides. Basically moving all of the water in the ocean, at least that’s how I think. But how come it doesn’t make us feel lighter or heavier throughout the day? Or just seem to affect anything else

It does affect us but its slight – one could argue that the light coming from the moon has more of an effect (hunters moon, etc.). The biggest thing though is that the human circulatory and lymphatic systems are mostly closed off to changes in tidal forces. Blood (and even any interstitial fluid) is distributed over such a large surface area compared to an open body of water tidal forces don’t matter.
Also, we have a huge pump (the heart) and ‘levers/valves’ in our arteries and veins that control the overall pressure and viscosity of our blood. After all, blood is a colloidal mixture.
