The effects of the Venus/Saturn alignment will now be more obvious as there is little to balance its influence. In addition the two planets are in opposition to Neptune, thus creating a forceful mood inducer that may cause problems for some.

Expected traits may include delicate, refined, or senstive feelings with idealistic or sentimental inclinations. In addition there may be a better appreciation of beauty and harmony with an especial attraction for music.

These above mentioned traits may be balanced by more limited, controlled of disciplined emotions that may be subject to lowered self confidence or enthusiasm.There may also be an easy sense of disappointment or disillusionment, so that finding the necessary resolve to persevere with things may prove difficult. With this current phase of the Moon there may be a tendency towards lowered inspiration or melancholia, with some depression or general lack of motivation.

Others may perceive this as a time of few great highs or lows that may be broadly equivalent to the emotional doldrums. If so then there may be an overwhelming sense of dull routine with some boredom and trouble in profitably filling up ones time.

It may also be possible that a few might be suffering from the effects of what has been a prolonged period of highly challenging moods and feelings. Fortunately this atmosphere has now toned down somewhat, though some may take time to adapt. This means there may be subtle doubts and fears with apprehensions that for some may be acute and debilitating.

Coming days will tend to diminish the stressful element of the last week or so, though as mentioned above this may be at the expense of some melancholia or depression.
